House | Jasper Dietze and Aaron Richards Release Their Cover of The Weeknd’s “In the Night”
Posted by Tay on March 10, 2016
Jasper Dietze may only have a few records to his name, but it seems like the up-and-coming star gets better with each and every release. After dazzling the dance music community with his sun-kissed take on Kygo’s “Firestone” last year, the dance newcomer has garnered an impressive following with his accessible, evocative take on deep house that borrows elements from tropical house and pop. For his most recent effort, Dietze enlists Aaron Richards to flip The Weeknd’s “In the Night” on its head, turning it into a slowed-down deep house anthem that truly showcases the Dutch DJ’s talents. Dietze lays down a bed of luscious piano melodies intricately woven with deep synth arrangements and a pulsating bassline.

Posted by Tay on March 8, 2016
The Los Angeles-based producer, Justin Jay, is back with his first release of the year, and he’s remixed his fellow dirtybird and labelmate, Billy Kenny, and his track, “Work Me.” While Justin Jay’s remix is unlike his typical booty-bouncing house stylings, it’s nothing short of phenomenal, as he infuses the track with complex layers of jazz-y undertones and funky vibes, underlined by a chic house beat and electric guitar plucks. Justin Jay is in the middle of his Fantastic Voyage tour right now, alongside his friends and collaborators, Josh Taylor, Benny Bridges, and Henry Was, so don’t miss out when he comes to your city.

Right around this time of year, where you can feel the warmth coming back to bless the hemisphere I live on, Robin Thicke’s “When I Get You Alone” gets stuck in my mind, for no reason, other than it’s a feel good jam, and matter of fact, according to my Facebook.com/OnThisDay, 2 years ago I was at a Robin Thicke show, fyi. Back to the music though, Midas Hutch drops a new one “The High” featuring Bluey Robinson, reminiscent of that feel good vibe I mentioned from Robin Thicke. Get lost to the groove, and I hope the sun is shining, wherever you are, this is a must listen!

House, Remix | Selena Gomez’s “Hands To Myself” Gets A Phenomenal Remix From Fareoh
Posted by VMan on March 7, 2016
A couple of months ago Fareoh remixed what was at the time my favorite pop record, and now he’s back to remix my current favorite. Whoever’s making these decisions owes themselves a pat on their back, because this young New Yorker is slowly becoming one of my favorite artists around. His “Hands To Myself” remix is a bit different than the Hailee Steinfeld remix, however, the fact is that it caught me off guard and kept my attention to the very end. A bit of a surprise is always nice, and Fareoh has consistently kept me on my toes.
If you’re wondering what his next move is going to be, head over to his Twitter to stay updated.
House | Boehm Keeps It Tropical On Remix of OMI’s “Standing On All Threes”
Posted by Tay on March 4, 2016
After his Jamaican pop hit “Cheerleader” turned into last year’s summertime anthem, OMI is back again to release a compilation of chilled-out, summery reworks from his album ME 4 U. Last week featured Norwegian producer Bergs’ refreshed version of “Hitchhiker”, a hyped up festival ready single. This week Romanian remix master Boehm slows down things with his turn over of “Standing On All Threes”. The track transforms the original song’s captivating melody into a more laid-back tropical tune by laying down a breezy saxophone and downbeat percussion elements alongside of OMI’s signature vocals. This track will have you wishing for warmer weather.
