Electro-House | EDX & Leventina – The Tempest
Posted by Middy on November 18, 2013
Two of Switzerland’s finest house exports (well Andrea from Leventina is Italian, but its ok) EDX & Leventina have come together again for an original, aptly titled “The Tempest”. The man behind most of Swiss dance music, either on the label side or actually writing it (see credits for EDX, Dinka, Helvetic Nerds, and his aliases), Chris Reece strikes again with this Leventina collab. With a sound familiar to their heavily supported “Blood Pressure” remix, the three of these Swiss DJs deliver on a track that does not fall into the trap of copying W&W or using a washed out hardstyle kick, but remains potent and relevant in the 2013 festival sound. The vocal samples only add to the frenzied pace of the track.

Electro-House | Tommy Trash – Fuckwind
Posted by Middy on November 7, 2013
In the midst of the Hounds Of Hell tour with Wolfgang Gartner, Tommy Trash has unleashed a rare free download for his fans. As you may remember, EDC Las Vegas 2012 had some wind issues that forced the festival to be shut down, (E Zoo will be fine), and Tommy is expressing his displeasure with how nature took control of events. The track has hints of the vintage Tommy Trash sound, while offering something new from himself, a refreshing change of pace for the Australian’s discography. It’s a no strings attached free download, so you are going to get it.

This remix of Bon Iver’s “Perth” is one of the best remixes of 2013, hands down, and I’m surprised as to why it’s not all over the blogs at the moment. A description of this record wouldn’t do it justice, you’re going to have to experience this record on your own. If you like funk, soulful vocals, and video game sounding synths, this Louis The Child remix is for you! This is a must listen and a must download – guaranteed good vibes!

Electro-House, Progressive House | Zedd ft. Hayley Williams – Stay The Night (Remixes)
Posted by Middy on November 7, 2013
Zedd’s followup to “Clarity”, “Stay The Night” has made its ascent onto the radio airwaves and up the charts with its blend of a complex, musicality and accessibility in poppy dance music. Just as was the case with “Clarity”, “Stay The Night” has earned a huge set of remixes from some of the biggest and brightest names in dance music. Henry Fong adds his own gritty electro flavor to the track in what has been the remix favored by Zedd himself. Nicky Romero plays along with the melody, while DJ Snake opts for a more electro route, rather than 808s he has become known for, and Tiesto switches out the melody for a big room take. Grab the package on Beatport below.
