Electro-House, Trance | W&W & Ummet Ozcan – The Code
Posted by Middy on February 4, 2013
If you are sitting down, it may be tough to stay there. Coming off of their very poignant single “Lift Off“, W&W tab Ummet Ozcan of recent “The Box” fame to come together on “The Code”, another powerful electro trance track sure to be heard pounding around the arenas as the ASOT 600 circuit commences in under 2 weeks. Opposing big room builds with a heavy kick, electro growls and pulsing synths, the trio masterfully weave together elements of various genres, leaving behind the ideas of what one is expected to do and craft an outstanding track that will have lasting impacts on their discography’s and sets for many months to come.

Bootleg, Electro-House, Mashups | Nicky Romero vs. Green Velvet. vs. Cosmic Gate – Analog Flash (Omnia Mashup)
Posted by Spice on February 4, 2013
A nice Monday afternoon freebie from Omnia, who has mashed up Nicky Romero’s famed remix of Green Velvet’s “Flash” with Cosmic Gate’s 2007 tech-trance classic “Analog Feel.” The kicky bassline, dark melody, and off-beat hi-hats on “Analog Feel” are a perfect counterpoint to Nicky Romero’s minimal but hard-hitting reboot of “Flash.”
It also (sort of) bears mention that I tweeted “camera’s ready, prepare to flash” for no discernible reason this morning (wasn’t even listening to the song), and now this is here. Weird. It’s like I have ESPN or something.
Electro-House, Exclusive, Featured, Preview | Dido – No Freedom (Benny Benassi Remix)
Posted by Mach on January 31, 2013
For those who didn’t know, the legendary Dido is releasing a new album, “Girl That Got Away” March 4th. Featured on the deluxe version of the album is this sick Electro-House remix from Benny Benassi that we have been given the opportunity to premiere to our fans today. I think my favorite thing about this remix is you can see how Benny has successfully adapted his style to the styles that are becoming more and more popular. Benny and Dido have been members of the music world for a long time and the fact that they can come through with great tracks still is incredible.
Electro-House | Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Coone & Lil Jon – Madness
Posted by Middy on January 31, 2013
This is what I would call the Showtek effect. Hardstyle has now become cool in electro house because they made some fat tracks. However that does not mean we will see hardstyle break into the mainstream because let’s be honest for most people hardstyle is like that one friend you have — you can hang out with with them in small doses, but too much and you are wondering why you liked it the first place. “Madness” involves a bit too much yelling albiet coherent yelling from Lil Jon and a ridiculous instrumental from the Belgian Djs, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike and hardstyle producer Coone combining big room interludes, hardstyle kicks and powerful synth leads that embody the title of the track. Coming off of an outstanding 2012 and with “Wakanda” on the way on Axtone, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike are making a push into the upper realm of the dance music elite.
Electro-House, Preview | Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike – Wakanda (Preview)
Posted by Middy on January 31, 2013
Axtone make their first statement in 2012 with Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike’s upcoming single “Wakanda”. First gaining huge hype when SHM played it at their opening show at the Friends Arena in Stockholm, this track is set to be huge for WMC. With a heavy kick and a powerful drop, this track is going to be a favorite of many for months to come. Watch for this one on February 11th.
Electro-House, Exclusive, Featured | KillSonik – Slaughterhouse (Gemini Remix)
Posted by Mach on January 30, 2013
When people hear or see Gemini’s name they geek out, including myself. After hearing about KillSonik’s remix of Gemini’s “Robots,” I wondered if Gemini also remixed something of KillSonik’s. Well, MTA Records has been kind enough to let us premiere that remix. “Slaughterhouse” was already an incredible orignal from KillSonik, and usually I hate having to listen to a remix of something that is great on its own. This may be in fact the greatest Electro-House track Gemini has ever created. I have never heard Gemini drop in lasers and guitar rifts the way he has on this insane remix. If there is anything to pull from this, it’s that it is time to rage.
Dubstep, Electro-House, Moombahton, Review | KillSonik – Where The River Runs Black EP
Posted by Mach on January 30, 2013
I literally could not wait for the release of this EP. KillSonik has done nothing but blow my mind on what type of artists they are to be known as. The duo kicked off the EP with a filthy Moombahton track, “Where The River Runs Black.” I never would have guessed that they would drop in a moombahcore track, let alone end up loving it. The first Dubstep track “Walrus” has had my mind going in spins the past few days. I enjoy the mellow intro that breaks into spooky synths, building up to an epic drop that I will forever relate to the mighty Walrus haha. “Slaughterhouse” is by far my favorite track of the EP. It is everything I hoped to hear from KillSonik in terms of a Dubstep track. Close behind in second though, “Je Te Veux” turned out to be the best surprise. When I found out the track was Electro-House, I was instantly excited to listen. To my enjoyment, this track owns face. Every expectation I have had over the past few months building my impatience was every bit worth the wait. KillSonik delivered.
