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.

Posted by yabishcic on March 29, 2014
This morning I’m reppin’ straight from home-base with an incredibly integrative remix by the only and only Andrew Luce. If you missed my last post on this Bay Area based producer, you’ll definitely want to play catch up. This dude has already won Snowglobe’s 2013 opening DJ contest as well as signed under Red Cube Recordings just at the age of 16. If you love this particular mix, you’ll want to go ahead and check the rest of his material. All. Equally. MindBlowing.
Interviews | [Exclusive] The Rise Of Collin McLoughlin
Posted by BIGLIFE on March 18, 2014
We remember when we first received an e-mail from Collin McLoughlin. It was 2010, and he contacted us with a single submission. We were instantly impressed. In fact, we can still remember where we were when we heard his voice. We knew then that Collin McLoughlin was destined for greatness. While the Collin’s road to success has taken him to places like NBC’s “The Voice”, he’s on a new mission. Since July of 2013, Collin has been releasing a slew of impressive remixes and originals that have gained support from just about everyone in the blogosphere. Collin’s profile is quickly rising, so we decided to check in with him to talk about how a Youtube cover singer from New York became one of the most talked about names in the melodic bass world.
1. Forgive me for asking, but how did a guy that was knocked out in the second round of NBC’s “The Voice” become a successful melodic dubstep producer and DJ, essentially out of nowhere?
It took an incredible amount of dedication and hard work. I’ve learned everything I know about production from various online tutorials, Youtube, and trial and error. I also have had some good friends like Carlos Cid who have given me tremendous advice. That said, the majority of my DJ and production knowledge has come from an insane amount of hard hours spent teaching myself.

Pomo has been killing it lately. It seems as though the Canadian’s have been pumping out some seriously dope producers as of late 2013. I’d stay tuned if I were you because these beats are so funky fresh and speaker ready.

Making his Fresh New Tracks debut, Richy Marciano, holds nothing back on the new single and video “WZUP”. The Detroit native pours all of his energy and city-spirit in to all of his music, and “WZUP” is no exception. Marciano is still riding out the success of his 2013 project Emphasis on My City, with this being the second video released from the body of work.
Marciano is currently working on his follow-up tape, but if you missed the first, be sure to give it a download here.
Electro-House | Ivan Gough & Jebu – Noxu
Posted by Middy on February 24, 2014
The team who brought you “Kukatu” last year on Size are back with an even bigger tune to follow up that 2013 festival hit. Just in time for Miami, “Noxu” packs the powerful punch needed for tunes as the weather warms up in the Northern Hemisphere and shows move outdoors. The two Australian producers have been pounding out this tune during the Aussie festival season that is in full swing right now, but expect to hear a lot more of this in the coming months with its thumping bass line and chunky stabs. Size is celebrating its 10 year anniversary this year, with parties and cool releases to come next month, so consider this a warmup.
