Electro-House | Bailey Smalls – Force
Posted by Mach on March 25, 2013
Bailey Smalls came out with a straight Electro-House banger today. Titled “Force”, Bailey brings the heat in this raver’s fantasy. This the perfect track to kick of the festival season and get in the spirit of raging. Bailey has come a long way since his first releases and by the sound of it, things are just getting started for this ambitious producer.

Electro-House | Kindergarten Yearbook Vol 1
Posted by Middy on March 25, 2013
The dance music world is paying homage to Swedish House Mafia for their epic farewell at Ultra tonight, but that does not mean the rest of the music has stopped. Wolfgang Gartner’s revived Kindergarten Records has decided to give away 4 tracks from some of its brightest talents on the label. You might expect some subpar throwaways to be mixed in with these freebees, but that is absolutely not the case. Taking tracks from the labels brightest up and coming talents, DallasK, Popeska, Charlie Darker & Conro, these four tracks bring together the unique electro house sound that you would expect from them with tough, melodic properties. With 4 free downloads from these names and each standing out on their own, you won’t want to pass up on this.

Electro-House, Progressive House | Lift Off #010
Posted by Mel on March 23, 2013
Many things are changing now that spring is upon us. Girls are going to start wearing more revealing clothing, the weather is going to transition from cold to slightly less cold (I live in Canada), and Lift Off is no longer monthly. From now on, Lift Off will go up weekly on Saturdays, primarily because we didn’t like how the tracks we posted would end up being weeks old. This way, every track that goes up will be no older than a week. It will also mean that there won’t be as many songs on each edition as there were previously, though we feel this is an acceptable sacrifice for more up to date tracks. We start things off above with Reuben Keeney’s “Good times together” which is carried by a Kaskade like piano and soft vocals before hitting a progressive drop.
Beatport: Reuben Keeney (feat. Katt Niall) – Good Times Together
Candyland released an EP in honor of their Miami debut at WMC. My favorite track of the EP is their festival remix of Timeflies’ “Nothing At All”.
The Plastic People remix of the Imagine Dragons “It’s Time” was my favorite song for quite a while. Markus Cole does a magnificent job of giving the song a progressive refresh that brought the indie-rock song back to life.
No uplifting chords or melodies to be found here, Kevin Drew’s latest “Halogen” is just a massive big room track.
Electro-House | OVERWERK – 12:30
Posted by Mach on March 21, 2013
One of the coolest uses of ABBA samplings I have heard. Overwerk pulled out the stops on this track, taking us into a heavy Electro drop with all the fixings. The finishing touch at the end of the track leaves you wanting and wishing for more.

Electro-House | Fedde le Grand & Sultan + Ned Shepard – Long Way From Home
Posted by Middy on March 18, 2013
In the lead up to Ultra, Fedde le Grand & Sultan & Ned Shepard did a 2 week bus tour across the US, “On The Road To Ultra” and this collab of their’s was the anthem. “Long Way From Home” is a rework of RL Burnside’s 1978 blues tune “Poor Boy A Long Way From Home“, keeping the catchy guitar riffs and vocals of the original and adds their own electronic spin on it with grungy, distorted electro and punchy bass lines. You may have caught Fedde play this during the first 15 minutes of his set at Ultra, so do not hesitate to grab this unofficial anthem below. Updated with official video clip.

Electro-House | Daddy’s Groove & Cryogenix – Vertigo
Posted by Middy on March 18, 2013
Coming off of the release of “Stellar“, Italian duo Daddy’s Groove team up with Italian trio Cryogenix to release this high energy track on David Guetta led Jack Back Records. “Vertigo” uses ominous builds that lead into a simple, yet effective drop of thunderous percussion, a pounding bass line and the occasional electro stutter. This festival sized cut is yet another track that is among the many tracks we are seeing now that espouse hard hitting, percussive drops, designed to do the most damage on the biggest of stages.

Dubstep, Electro-House, Mix | Going Quantum: SPACE LACES Guest Mix
Posted by Sev on March 16, 2013
I’m usually not a fan of listening to long mixes, but whenever you’re dealing with an artist who has no original releases under his name and is so exclusive, but somehow manages to have one of the craziest fan followings it’s hard to not post it. SPACE LACES is probably one of the biggest up and coming artist in the EDM scene, whether you knew about him a while ago, or are just learning about him this is just the beginning. This artist creates everything from nu-disco, to glitch, to dirty electro, all the way to the heaviest dubstep tracks you have ever imagined. People who follow him get up everyday just hoping for a release from this one of a kind artist. I would recommend everyone check him out because it is only a matter of time before his name is everywhere in the EDM world.
