After his rather poor attempt at remixing “Gangnam Style”, Afrojack makes up for it with a single “Air Guitar”, designated to be an anthem for this years Ultra Music Festival. Afrojack delivers on this intense track with powerful bursts of electro growls, distorted vocal samples and blistering bleeps with a small interlude to let you catch your breath before getting right back into it. On the heals of Tiesto, Quintino and Alvaro’s somewhat lackluster effort last week and Avicii’s contribution “UMF”, known to many as “ID2” or “Fire” or “Put Your Piano On”, coming next week, Ultra is pulling out all the stops, not only in terms of bookings, production, but also new songs for the two weekend, 15th edition of the world famous festival. With Afrojack’s debut album coming later this year, expect much more to come in 2013 from the towering Dutchman.

Leaders in the blossoming Colorado dance music scene, Savoy make their debut on Wolfgang Garter’s Kindergarten Records with their new single “I Dare You”. Savoy reunite with Heather Bright or Bright Lights after collabs like “We Are The Sun“, who unsurprisingly lays down some stunning vocals over Savoy’s heavy instrumental that lets Heather’s vocals shine, while adding growling saws and thumping bass to this well layered electro track. Having just finished up their Live With Lasers tour, look for more original material to come from them before they get back out on the road.

Carnage has been on a roll recently with tracks like “Incredible” and his festival remix of “Spaceman” still seeing a fair amount of air time and KillaGraham has been quiet this year, but with a bevy of productions to finish out 2012, the former DEFEP member has shown plenty of promise coming into this year. Showing their appreciation for the fans, Carnage & KillaGraham have given out for free this high energy electro track that sneaks up you with a slow progressive build, emphasizing the female vocals and then crescendoes into a high powered drop of driving pitched synths and thumping bass.

Electro-House, Progressive House | Walden – Intropial (Remixes) [Preview]

With several releases already under his belt this year and the video for “Intropial” coming out a month ago, Walden tabs three up and comers to remix his latest single on Big Beat Records. Dutch duo TV Noise provide a melodic electro track that does not provide a hint of much in the preview, but from what we hear, it gives the track an edge that may make it more suitable for the bigger stage. Pierce Fulton previews what is to be his second release of the year with a remix that uses a stripped back progressive drop that does not try to do too much, but is just what you want from Pierce Fulton. Ghost provides a dubstep rendition of the track with cruchy synths and fast paced laser synths and snares. The remix package is scheduled for a March 18th release date, just in time for the more “business” oriented side of WMC.

Canadian Lazy Rich makes his return to Chris Lake’s Rising Music with a new single “Insomnia” tabbing the label head’s wife, Gita Lake for vocals. Gita Lake’s vocals accompany a smooth piano driven build that crescendoes into a vintage Lazy Rich drop with gritty low end synths and a thumping bass line. John Dahlback continues his high rate of production going into WMC with a solid remix of blaring bleeps and well timed electro growls.

With his latest release, Wolfgang Gartner demonstrates that he’s willing to separate himself from the pack and do something a bit out of the box. “Anaconda” is a bouncy, funked-out jangle of a track, replete with “Space Junk”-esque leads and house-inspired riffs. It’s a fun and high energy journey from start to finish that is sure to get you moving.

Electro-House | Tiësto – Chasing Summers (R3hab & Quintino Remix)

Posted by on March 5, 2013

Hot on the heals of Dyro’s remix of “Make Some Noise” and Sidney Samson’s collab with Martin Garrixx “Torrent“, Tiesto’s Musical Freedom unleashes another remix of the label bosses singles released on Club Life Volume 2. This remix hits hard right out of the gate, tossing aside the original brooding intro from Tiesto and adds their own heavier build that leads into a hard hitting, fast firing percussive drop, making it a more suitable remix for the festival stage. They then return to the melody crafted by Tiesto in the interlude and bring back that drop one last time.
