Mashups, Progressive House | EDX vs. Disclosure – Latch For Life (Jack Eye Jones Club Mash)

Posted by on October 1, 2014

edx

Few artists can pull off a quality mashup nowadays. It seems as though those times are over or, at the very least, numbered. Most of the glorious mashup DJ’s from the turn of the decade recognize this and are attempting to transition into original pieces. Sadly, few make it. However, Jack Eye Jones, a master of the original track trade, comes from the other side of the spectrum. Perhaps that’s why he can craft songs like “Latch For Life” and get away with it. The guy has a knack for these mashups so lend this track an ear. And for the snobby folks who refuse to consume inbred works, tune into my favorite Latch remix by Teemid.

And for good measure, my favorite Latch remix…

Progressive House | Crystal Fighters – Love Alight (Live City Remix)

Crystal Fighters - Love Alight (Live City Remix)
Nipping on the heels of their free, official remix for Magic Man’s “Out Of Mind”, Live City waste no time in releasing another freemix (free remix). Now they add their cheery, progressive take on Crystal Fighters tune “Love Alright”, who are reeling from the tragic passing of their much loved drummer Andrea Marongiu. RIP. Live City went the unconventional route with this remix and actually reached out to the band to remix the song, who had heard of Live City and gave them the go ahead to remix the tune. Thus this track was born and is now yours for free. Enj…. ust kidding.

Progressive House | Sevag – People / Warrior March

Sevag - People : Warrior March

We have two tunes for you before you head out on the town tonight (or not). French DJ, Antoine Clamaran, who is not a household name in the States, but has a very strong fan base in France and is part of French super group, Reepublic, has started his own label and Sevag’s two track EP is one of its first releases. The two tunes have the bouncy, progressive feel that has been heard in his recent tracks, like “Latina“. That kick drum is heavy, so bring the subs on these ones.

Progressive House | Mako – Our Story (Michael Brun Remix)

mako - our story (michael brun remix)
Mako are a very interesting duo. They can sing, they can write songs and they can definitely produce. They have had studio sessions with guys like Avicii and Steve Angello, leading to “Children Of The Wild” with Steve. Being signed to power management group Red Light Management only opens up more doors with their multitude of talents, the music under many different voices will continue to flow. One of their original tunes “Our Story” has now been given new life by none other than Michael Brun. The original is fantastic in its own right and Michael adds his own big melodic flavor to the tune for a new twist, while still preserving the vocal message from Mako.

Progressive House | Anna of the North – Sway (The Chainsmokers Remix)

Anna of the North - Sway (The Chainsmokers Remix)

Anne Of The North. Hearing “Of The North” immediately transports to the frigid northern climbs of Westeros where the dead walk, giants run rampant and woolly mammoths are not just an exhibit in the museum. But coming back to this world (I know it sucks we have to wait until April), The Chainsmokers deliver a feel filled remix that has the vintage stylistic nuances we have come to know from their past indie remixes. So turn this one up and sway, sway, sway…

Progressive House | Dimitri Vangelis & Wyman – ID2

Posted by on September 23, 2014

Dimitri Vangelis & Wyman - ID2
No this is not some ode to a bygone era of constant Avicii IDs, this is simply just the name that has become branded to this tune, including on radio tracklists and to retitle it might damage the effect of the release. Let’s hope it doesn’t start a trend of artists releasing songs legitimately called “ID” because that would cause some serious problems for guys like Eric Prydz. Size has been on fire this year with their usual suspects of high energy tunes, but also a new smattering of deeper, groovier tunes that have escaped the clutches of his newly formed We Are All X imprint. In the mold of those big progressive tunes, Dimitri Vangelis & Wyman return for their 4th release on the label, first since April’s smash single “Payback” that still echoes around the few remaining festival grounds and now filled arenas & concert halls. Expect to hear “ID2” plenty as the year closes out.

Another note worth mentioning, their Tom Ordell remix that was previewed last summer will finally get a release date soon, so stay tuned to Vangelis & Wyman’s socials for details.

Progressive House | Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike vs W&W – Waves (Slander TomorrowWorld Remix)

TOMORROWWORLD

With the announcement of Kygo taking Avicii’s spot on the main stage, and the current lineup for TomorrowWorld, it might just be the most exciting festival this year, far from the redundancy of all of these other EDM festival linr upd! This year’s TW stands out in my opinion in the way that it’s supporting acts that have been capturing an online buzz this past year and building an audience, which exceeds past the online! Slander is one of those acts that we’ve been covering since day 1, and we couldn’t be any more happier to see them getting the recognition they deserve, so without further ado, here’s an exclusive TomorrowWorld remix of Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike vs W&W’s “Waves” by the LA DJ/Producer duo! This is a must listen!
