Dubstep | Metric – Artificial Nocturne (Love Thy Brother Remix)
Posted by Mach on June 20, 2012
The duo Love Thy Brother has done it again, blowing away minds with their amazing melodic dubstep works. Taking a great track from Metric and making it better, I am glad to see the two keep the incredible vocals of the original. The Rock infused Dubstep sounds incredible, a work of art.
Dubstep | Kill The Noise – Dying Ft. UVS (Craze’s LOC’D OUT Refix)
Posted by Mach on June 18, 2012
Three time DMC World DJ Champ, Craze, just dropped three reworks of his. Like any normal human being, Craze isn’t perfect, but then again he is the only person in the world to have been named World DJ Champ three times. Being the picky listener I am, this one of the three is well worth having more than the others…by a lot. His turntable work is unmatched, doing most of his reworks and remixing in real time on Traktor. If you loved the original of this track from Kill The Noise, no doubt you will love this as well.
RnB | Hodgy Beats – fordab*tches
Posted by Mach on June 10, 2012
A little late but I wont worry about it if you don’t, aka as long as you are feeling this tune like I am. Hodgy Beats hinted on twitter that he had something in store for the ladies. Didn’t think it would have been so soon fordab*tches to recognize. Hodgy goes hard on a lot of his work, but he can definitely control his verses to which ever style he’s feeling in the moment. Smooth and saucy, this porn funkadelic vibed track is a tasty treat. Whether your just another dude looking for a fun night or one of those ladies this track was meant for, it is worth the listen either way.

Electro, Featured, Progressive House | Introducing: Mako
Posted by Spice on June 6, 2012
Progressive house, that luminous, frission-inducing genre, is at a bit of a crossroads. While it is as much in flux as everything else occurring under the umbrella of EDM, I’d go as far as to say that it is also approaching critical mass. Progressive hooks once reserved for dance floors and DJ sets have entered the commercial mainstream. Trance heavyweights formerly known for their work at 140 bpm now borrow from it liberally. And not only is the genre one of the more massive and heterogeneous subsets of electronic music, it also happens to boast some of the biggest names in the business (Avicii, Tiesto, Alesso, the Swedish House mafiosos), all of whom cast long shadows and seem almost uniquely positioned to eclipse emergent talent.
But talent is talent, and today it is my pleasure to introduce you to two Los Angeles-based producers who have been quietly churning out breathtaking original progressive anthems and electro bangers while breaking into the performance DJ circuit. Logan Light and Alex Seaver — known together as Mako — bring musical training, practical experience, and abundant talent to their craft….and it shows. The two are a formidable team; Logan performed under the moniker DJ L1ght during his time at the University of Michigan, opening for heavy hitters like Wolfgang Gartner and Afrojack and even taking the decks at Coachella, while Alex attended Julliard, is classically trained in the French horn and wields some impressive compositional skill. Are they the full package? The free download below, “Beam,” would seem to indicate that they are: the top quality production, lush, orchestral synths and uplifting melodies speak to a well-honed musical ear, while the build through the chorus is tailor-made to wind up a crowd.
Read on for my interview with Logan, Mako’s set from Electro Beach Puerto Vallarta, and previews of tracks that are in the works. Be sure to keep an eye on Mako’s Soundcloud for upcoming releases.
Dubstep, Electro | VoidDS – Gotta Catch ’em All! (Pokemon Electrostep)
Posted by Mach on June 2, 2012
VoidDS dropped a little preview of this banger a few days ago, the response was great enough that it is now available. He uses a lot of the original work to keep that nostalgia around, while also dropping a hefty Electro/Dubstep drop. This remix is fun to listen to, the fact that the drop is sick is just an awesome plus.
Progressive House | MitiS – Life Of Sin
Posted by Mach on May 28, 2012
Two things about this track confuse me although they do not matter in reality. One being why this melodic track is named ‘Life Of Sin,’ two, how did dubstep filth MitiS decide to create a house track as beautiful as this. I am not complaining, this track is amazing. The piano work in the break almost brought tears to my eyes, and the rest of the synths added into this make this one of the best unheard house tracks of 2012…in my opinion of course. MitiS is in fact known for his insane dubstep tracks, but after listening to this I realize there is still more for me to learn from him and what artists should be known for.
Albums, Progressive House, Review | Eric Prydz Presents Pryda
Posted by GMONEY on May 24, 2012
Finally, after a much anticpated wait, Eric Prydz has released his first artist album, a three disc anthology called Eric Prydz Presents Pryda and it is INCREDIBLE, a solid 5/5. The first disc is a collection of unreleased tracks & the second and third discs are retrospective mixes which mix together past hits and b-sides. While the first CD emphasizes his progressive roots, it shows the marked change from the beginning of Prydz’s career. His massive 2004 hit “Call On Me” (which had an awesome music video, check that below) initially projected him into the club scene.
Call On Me
Starting in the same scene as Sebastian Ingrosso, Steve Angello and Axwell (collectively known as Swedish House Mafia currently), he soon made his own path under the monikers Cirez D for his hard-hitting techno tracks and Pryda for his Progressive club bombs. Over his ten year career, Pryda has nailed down his impeccable producing style, and it is seen in every track he makes. Grab this release on ITUNES, BEATPORT, or SPOTIFY. Now to the actual music, let’s do a track by track review after the jump.
