Progressive House | Vance Joy – Riptide (Maestro Harrell Remix)
Posted by Mel on June 18, 2014
Whenever I see a new Maestro Harrell track I sweat profusely in excitement although not really. I’m a fan of his and enjoy pretty much all of his stuff. His latest remix for Vance Joy’s “Riptide” is a higher energy track than most of his others and has great vocals and a catchy melody. Really, everything you can ask for in a progressive house track.

Electronic, Progressive House | Porter Robinson – Lionhearted (feat. Urban Cone)
Posted by Mel on June 17, 2014
It is now less than two months until “Worlds”, Porter Robinson’s next album is out and it is likely to be one of the best electronic albums in quite some time. “Lionhearted”, his newest single from that album features the vocals of the Swedish Urban Cone and, like “Sea Of Voices” and “Sad Machine“, is a step in a new direction music wise for Porter. None of the tracks released so far have much in common, aside from how great they are. Grab the song on iTunes and prepare yourself for something special on August 12th, the album’s day of release.

Progressive House | SomeKindaWonderful – Reverse (Steve James Remix)
Posted by Mel on June 13, 2014
The common theme in the music of Steve James is melody. It is always at the forefront and is the most memorable part of his tracks. This is demonstrated once again in his most recent release, a remix of SomeKindaWonderful’s “Reverse”. As the vocals end approaching the build, that’s when the excellent melody takes over and carries the song the rest of the way. For a variety of reasons, although most notably because in the tenth grade I was punched in the stomach by a girl, Steve James has not yet appeared on FNT. For those of you who were unaware of him and enjoy the track, be sure to check out his Soundcloud. There’s some great stuff on it.

Progressive House | Angelika Vee – Turn the Lights Up (Leventina Remix)
Posted by Middy on June 12, 2014
Leventina killed it in 2011 – 2012 with tunes like “We’re Gonna Start”, “Blonds Have More Fun”, “Revolution” and “Right Or Wrong”, but that momentum fell off largely in 2013 with some lackluster, somewhat generic big room tracks. These tunes were bookended at the end of 2012 & 2013 by their totally original remix of “Blood Pressure” and then the collab with EDX “Tempest”. They return to something more original & melodic with this remix of Angelika Vee “Turn The Lights Up”.
Angelika Vee is a super talented singer / songwriter and now producer who is now sticking it out on her own, much like trance vocalist JES. It is not that big a leap for many of these singers since they write the entire top line of most songs, which includes the melody, so to produce the rest of the song, and get all of the credit, is not that big a change. Leventina give the tune of boost of energy with a well crafted, big melody that fit well with the vocals.

Progressive House | Danzfolk – Colorado Cavalry
Posted by Middy on June 12, 2014
A little learning with house music? Danzfolk do it for the kids. With their MYTHOS trilogy in the books, the duo turn their attention to events that actually happened, notably happenings south of the border (Canadian border that is). With another big, cinematic tune, the duo bring us back to 1864 and the Sandcreek Massacre, using all sorts of sounds of the day like a church bell, horses and the like to create the proper historical atmosphere. I can’t tell if this is representative of 148 Native Americans being slaughtered, but I assume this sounds waaaay better then that.
