Preview, Progressive House | Michael Brun – ID (Preview)
Posted by Middy on April 3, 2013
So here I am patently asleep at my desk and a new email comes into my gmail from Michael Brun with the title “New ID with”. I am awake. The above ID is a track he has been playing out with T Swifts vocal on top over the past few months to much appraise and has received many requests for release. The track shows his continued progress as one of the brightest stars in the big room house scene. He is giving very little info about the track right now and Mr. Brun was quite stubborn in keeping it that way, so enjoy the radio edit of this ID that may get named after T Swift or not. If you have not already, check out his upcoming track “Halfway”, featuring Zashanell that is going to be on his 3 track EP on Phazing Records. Also be on the lookout for his remix of “Your Heart” from Dirty South’s “Speed Of Life” album coming really soon.

Dubstep | Singularity Ft. Nilu – Horizon
Posted by Mach on April 2, 2013
Together, Singularity and Nilu melt hearts. This track is beautiful. Nilu’s voice is the perfect addition to these incredible melodic instrumentals. The drop makes me think of a blend of Zedd and Seven Lions, which might be the most popular combo created. Truly and excellent job from Singularity and Nilu. “Horizon” is the title track from Singularity’s upcoming EP, releasing April 30th.

Dubstep | Feature Cuts – Vision
Posted by Jess on March 31, 2013
On April 30th, Feature Cuts will release his debut EP entitled Vision through his own imprint Ne7work. To kick off the promotion for the EP, he just released the stream of the first single and title track on his Soundcloud. In his own words, the song “defines a new direction” and that ever since the beginning, his “production has been subconsciously adjusting to truly define a style that I can call my own.” “Vision” is hard hitting and a taste of what to expect from the EP.
DJ-Set, Trance | Tritonal – Metamorphic I EP
Posted by Middy on March 28, 2013
American trance duo, Chad Cisneros and Dave Reed who call Austin, Texas home follow up their UMF ASOT 600 performance with the release of their new 3 track “Metamorphic I” EP. The duo have just relaunched their radio show in a new platform “Tritonia” as a tribute to the fans who make it all happen, kickstarting a new beginning in 2013. They have developed much of the same complex we have seen with other trance producers like Ferry Corsten, who produce more traditional, albeit genre pushing trance, however their sets and radio shows encompass everything from big room, to electro, to the more traditional uplifters, like the tracks they produce.
The EP shows the many directions the duo can go with their sound, from a more ambient to trance to some more festival ready, hard hitting electro trance. The EP starts with the single “Bullet That Saved Me” featuring vocals from Underdown. The track starts with a smooth, calming build, featuring the male vocals from Underdown and then vaults you into a pitched lead and a minimal, percussive drop that works outstandingly for Tritonal in the live arena. The next track is a total 180 degree switch in energy — the soothing “Bring Me Down” featuring the angelic vocals from Meredith Call brings together a beautiful instrumental of orchestral strings, subtle piano and atmospheric pads that create this very chilled, relaxing track, totally switching up the mood in the EP. The last track on the EP, “Deep Into Black” follows along a similar vein as “Bring Me Down” with a soothing piano melody and choral vocal bits that slowly develop over the space of the song, but never give you a “drop”, just one smooth ride from start to finish.
Metamorphic I” is the first of three, three track EPs to be released this year, so stay tuned to this space for more info on Tritonal. Check out the latest episode of Tritonia below to get a sample of what is to come, which just so happens to be their live set from Ultra.
Hip-Hop, Indie | Aer – Strangers [Free EP]
Posted by Grubeats on March 25, 2013
I feel guilty for sitting on this for the past week without posting. I’m sure the loyal Fresh Aer breathers have already inhaled this free EP, but for those who haven’t, I highly suggest taking a long deep breath and listening through.
With summer around the corner (hopefully) for us Northerners, Aer decides it’s only right to share some freebies with their fans to honor their continued loyalty. Although these may only be low tide tracks in comparison to what they’re going to hit us with this summer, I’ve looped this in full at least once daily since it dropped. Fire. With features from Mod Sun & Guy Harrison and production from Ratatat, Pete Rock, mattMIGGZ, and of course instrumental work by David and Carter themselves, you’d be foolish to pass on this.
