House | Alesso, Hook N Sling, Joe Garston
Posted by Middy on June 21, 2011
Alesso you sly dog. Pressure, Save the World, and now this. He is just too good.

Wasn’t really feeling the original that much because Will.I.Am and Wolfgang didn’t seem to be on the same page, but Hook N Sling give the song the boost it needed to reach its full potential.

This song is just dirty. It sounds kind of like Mord Fustang, but is Joe does his own thing and makes an absolute bomb with this song.

House | Thomas Gold, Dillon Francis, Afrojack, Laidback Luke, Michael Canitrot
Posted by Middy on June 20, 2011
If you get these songs you may be able to rage as hard as the Bruins did after they won the Stanley Cup with a $150,000 bar tab?! Here is the Thomas Gold remix of Adele’s Set Fire to the Rain. Nice to hear a different Adele song being remixed for once. The drop takes a little while so be patient.

Dillon Francis does it again with this Moombahton banger. The drop is silly good.
DOWNLOAD: Timetakers – She Blows (Whistle Tune) (Dillon Francis Remix)
Here is an Afrojack song that came out a week or two ago, but I didn’t really like it that much at the time. The more I listen, the more I like the song and it shows Afrojack’s versatility with the different styles in the song.

Laidback Luke puts his spin on this classic. He makes it heavier and possibly a bit more awesome.
DOWNLOAD: Alice Deejay – Better Off Alone (Laidback Luke Remix)
OK so call me a fool, but here is a summer anthem. I don’t take the word “anthem” lightly, but this song has every ingredient for it. A great, catchy beat, infectious vocals and a joyful, uplifting vibe. The remix adds a little to the the beat and has less of the vocals, still a banger though.

Trance | Armin van Buuren- Mirage (The Remixes)
Posted by Middy on June 18, 2011
Armin is the man and he just released a remix CD of Mirage that has some very good remixes on it. Some of you may think it is blasphemous to remix Armin, but give these remixes a chance. You already know and have the Avicii remix of Drowning, so I will get to the other releases on this album. Here five highlights from the 30 song CD. The entire thing is really good and well put together, which you can expect from Armin. If you like these then also check out the Dash Berlin 4am remix of Not Giving Up On Love and both remixes of I Don’t Own You by The Thrillseekers and Andy Moor. Oh yea, there is a new track.

House | David Guetta, Afrojack
Posted by Middy on June 17, 2011
Remember that Skrillex and Diplo song I mentioned last night? Well there is a little preview to get you guys wet. Here are three songs off of David Guetta’s F*** Me I’m Famous Ibiza 2011 Mix. Some of you may complain about the end of songs because they transition, but this is a dj album so deal. The first one you may recognize from the youtube video where he mixes it with “I’m David Guetta Bitch” and it is crazy.
DOWNLOAD: David Guetta – Bass Line
This is a collaboration between David Guetta and Afrojack his main man. It combines their two sounds flawlessly and adds some great vocals on top. Defiantly a banger that will get you going.
DOWNLOAD: David Guetta & Afrojack – Pandemonium feat. Carmen
Here is the instrumental mix of Little Bad Girl that has Taio Cruz on the vocals. It may actually be better without him, but I will let you make your own decision.

Dubstep | Benga, 16bit, Stephan Jacobs & NiT GriT, Wick-It
Posted by Middy on June 16, 2011
Let me start by saying that I am more of a house and trance guy, but dubstep is growing on me and the people want it, so here is some dubstep. Here is the new song that Benga of Magnetic Man just gave to the world for free. The video is absurd and next time you are out bumping some dubstep, try some of these moves.
DOWNLOAD: Benga – Smack Your Bitch Up
If you want those Zeds Dead songs go to Machs post on June 14th and DO watch all of the dubstep symphony because it is incredible. Now on to the correction. Here is a track by NiT GriT and Stephen Jacobs off of their EP Pizza Party.
DOWNLOAD: Stephan Jacobs & NiT GriT – Don’t Stop
Here is a dubstep remix to Amon Tobin’s new single Surge. If you haven’t seen the live show he did on his latest tour, it is probably the most ridiculous visual experience that has been created.
DOWNLOAD: Amon Tobin – Surge (16Bit Remix)
The last one here is a pretty upbeat dubstep remix of the smokers classic I got 5 on it, so sit back, enjoy and do you. Also be on the look out for a dubstep collaboration between Skrillex and Diplo.

Electro, House, Trance | Pryda, Above & Beyond, Hardwell
Posted by Middy on June 14, 2011
So since this is my first official post I am going to give you guys a ton of amazing music from the past few days. Here is the Pryda EP “With Me” that he just released. All of the songs are awesome and different, but they are definitely Pryda and amazing. Take a listen and enjoy.

I saw Above & Beyond on Saturday night and it absolutely blew my mind, they were just unreal. If you have a chance to see them make sure you do because it is a show you won’t forget. Here is the bonus song that they released for free from their Group Therapy Hub. It is a vocal mix of Hope from Tri-State.
DOWNLOAD: Above & Beyond – With Your Hope
Here is the absolutely massive remix of the Sandy Vee produced Nobody Loves Me by Bella. Hardwell puts his spin on this and makes it incredible and a must have. He even adds a little surprise for you guys in the middle.
DOWNLOAD: Bella – Nobody Loves Me (Hardwell Remix) BOMB
This is a little added bonus for it being my first post. This song is absolutely disgusting and the beat is just too good.

Compilation, House | Top 50 Dance Tracks Of 2013: 10-1
Posted by Middy on January 13, 2010
10. Alesso vs OneRepublic – If I Lose Myself (Alesso Remix)
Alesso’s seminal work this year, his remix for OneRepublic has gone global and then some. Ryan Tedder’s vocals are highly sought after, and meshed with Alesso’s ability to create melodies, the result was magical.
9. Duke Dumont ft. A*M*E* – Need U 100%
The Grammy nominated Duke Dumont had an amazing year with the release of this timeless deep house record. Straight from the UK, it doesn’t seem that Mr. Dumont will be stopping anytime soon with his latest release “I Got You.” Also shout out to Dave Edwards who gave “Need U” a second wind with his fun remix of the track.
8. Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike & Moguai – Mammoth
Possibly the most played and popular big room / progressive track of the first 6 months of the year, Moguai’s collab with Dimitri Vegas & LIke Mike showed that complex melodies can be popular when amelodic festival drops were more and more common. It was played by everyone from your standards like Hardwell and Tiësto to guys like Ferry Corsten and Cosmic Gate.
7. Lana Del Rey – Summertime Sadness (Cedric Gervais)
The original became very popular on its own, but Cedric Gervais’ rendition not only elevated his own career, but took this track to new heights across the dance and general music landscapes. It became a hit across radio stations and landed him a grammy nomination, something that matters this year now that there aren’t any scheming Rothscilds in the mix.
6. Breach – Jack
Iwantyourbodyeverybodywantsyourbodysoletsjack, let’s jack. Those vocals became inescapable this year from a more expected DJ set like Duke Dumont, to someone more surprising in Avicii, this tune was everywhere. Ben Westbreach’s single catapulted his career to the next level and became the marquee signing for Claude von Stroke’s Dirtybird Recordings. Creative genius Riff Raff directed the video. Enough said.
5. Fatboy Slim & Riva Starr ft. Beardyman – Eat Sleep Rave Repeat (Incl. Calvin Harris Remix)
It started a movement. “Eat Sleep Rave Repeat” became the Motto of dance music in 2013. Born from a wacked out man in Brooklyn, this has been Fatboy Slim’s return to production prominence. The Calvin Harris remix brought it to festivals everywhere with its powerful acid bassline.
4. Disclosure ft. AlunaGeorge – White Noise
Deep house went mainstream in 2013 and the main drivers of this trend were the super young British brothers, Guy & Howard Lawrence. The most blogged about artists of the first half of the year, edging out even the French robots, Disclosure had nearly unrivaled hype of any artist in any genre. “Settle” was one of the triumphs in dance music this year, but “White Noise” stood out as the biggest this year, though really every one of them deserves a spot on here.
3. Martin Garrix – Animals
You could not escape “Animals” this year a festival for better or worse. There are tracks that change the direction of dance music and this was one of them. That “Martin Garrix” sound become copied, imitated and generally abused by producers professional and amateur alike once they saw the popularity of “Animals”.
2. Avicii ft. Aloe Blacc – Wake Me Up
The flagship single from Avicii’s debut album “True”, Avicii’s “Wake Me Up” has become the symbol for his year of breaking boundaries, starting at Ultra and then with his album “True”. It has sold millions of copies around the world and has remained one of the most popular tracks, of any genre, throughout the whole year.
1. Daft Punk ft. Pharrell Williams – Get Lucky
“Animals” may have been the ubiquitous festival favorite this year, but dance music has gone far beyond the festival and club stage in the past few years. The hipster backlash against RAM was palpable, but the mastery and creative genius at work not only with Pharrell and Nile Rogers on “Get Lucky”, but throughout the whole album showed the robots were still the most innovative duo in dance. “Get Lucky” immediately found its way to every radio station, wedding, and DJ set, as a favorite of everyone from kids to grandparents. It is arguably not just the dance song of the year, but the song of the year, as denoted by its grammy nomination in the same category.
