Future House | Prince Fox – Wait Until Tomorrow

Prince Fox paved a name for himself in the Future circles as an artist that has perfectly utilized splashy breaks and accelerated drops around slower BPM tones but today he’s released his first solo original and it is unlike anything he’s released in the past. He speeds things up with ‘Wait Until Tomorrow’, capturing the signature deep, hollowed vocal sound familiar with the genre and the rising tropical melody becoming associated with the sound. This track is refreshing – press play, I’m sure you’ll agree.

Melodic Progressive, Trance | Andrew Lang releases ‘Presence of Mind’ on Progressive House Worldwide

It is very rare to find a true rendition of progressive meets trance, but Andrew Lang has fused these two sounds and created the tranquil ‘Presence of Mind.’ This Toronto, Canada based producer has been making waves in the melodic progressive scene and so I was surprised and shocked that Andrew stepped out of his comfort zone and amped the BPM, followed by a heavenly break that tuned a chord progression exemplary of the quality of music this man consistently supplies. I truly expect this tune to turn some heads in the Trance scene as it finds the perfect balance between melodic and progressive trance.

FYI | HAYWYRE to assist ringleader Mat Zo for the North American MAD ZOO Takeover

Meet Haywyre. Hailing from oceanside Vancouver, Haywyre is about pushing boundaries and resetting the rules of the game. Slowing down the BPM, Mat Zo has added this heavy bass bumping, beat mashing, pioneer of future electronic sound to the Mad Zoo roster for the label’s Winter Roadshow.

Adding a talent like Haywyre tells us a few things about what to expect from the Mad Zoo takeover:

1. Expect Bass –
With recent releases, Mat Zo is clearly demonstrating that trance won’t be a highlight of this show, although I’m sure the guru of the genre will find a way to incorporate those uplifting sounds into his sets one way or another.

2. Expect Energy –
The video shows it all. Adding Haywyre to the roster is clearly a logical step to facilitate an environment as uncontrollable and unpredictable as a circus. That being said…

3. Expect The Unexpected –
With Mat Zo and his crew, this is a given. This is why we go to a show associated with Mat Zo. This is why we are most excited for Mad Zoo.

We must say, however, that we are sad to see no Canadian dates as of yet – hopefully, by adding this Canadian heavyhitter to the list, that will change. Nonetheless, we congratulate Haywyre in what we are sure will be a very life-changing opportunity.

Bass | L A Y L A – Smokestacks (Mountain Of Youth Remix)

L A Y L A - Smokestacks (Mountain Of Youth RMX) Facebook | SoundCloud | Twitter

Doing some crate digging, this remix by Mountain Of Youth of L A Y L A’s “Smokestacks” happened to be streaming on my SoundCloud without even me paying attention until the track hit the 2 minute mark, and I’m like “what is this? This is dope!.” What they call Music for your Soul at 100 BPM, they sure do explore new depths. With a combination of wind chimes, piano chords that I could only decribe by comparing them to those 2 notes that start playing in 90’s detective movies when you know shit’s about to go down, and some futuristic bass, you’re in for a treat. This is a must listen, and support by buying this on iTunes!

Moombahton | Passion Pit – Carried Away (Dillon Francis Remix)

Posted by on April 28, 2013

Passion Pit - Carried Away (Dillon Francis Remix)Dillon Francis has been a generous man recently. First he gave away his “Suit and Tie” remix for the multi-talented Justin Timberlake, and now he is giving away his remix for Passion Pit‘s single “Carried Away“. Whether it was an issue with labels and release dates, or he just had a I.D.G.A.F.O.S attitude and wanted to give away free music because cats, internet, DJ awareness, taco bell, paypal and stuff, we are not complaining.

This remix displays the versatility that Dillon Francis continues to show with each production, bringing the track down to a 112 BPM moombahton tempo and then adding an acid fueled bass line that meshes quite well with the slowed down pace of the track and the indie vocals and style of the original. Passion Pit has been a popular band to remix, garnering remixes by styles ranging from trap to dubstep to electro house and this one from Dillon Francis has to sit near the top of the list for not only them, but also among his illustrious list of remixes as well.
