Progressive House | Axwell – Center Of The Universe
Posted by Middy on June 10, 2013
Lord oh Lord, finally Axwell. First revealed to the public in 2009, we at last have the original mix of Axwell’s monster track “Center Of The Universe”. He has been a busy man post, SHM, releasing a downtempo remix for Discopolis’ “Falling (Committed To Sparkle Motion)”, the Beatport number one remode of “Center Of The Universe”, his collaboration with Sebastian Ingrosso for Monsters University “Roar” and now this. It is showing that the breakup of SHM might have been a good thing after all.
You probably know the song by now, so there is no need to give you a detailed description, however it is pure blissful Axwell music that is becoming rarer and rarer in house music today, which is why we should cherish producers like Axwell who can remain to successful and consistent over a long period of time. The full extended version is not out yet, but you can grab the radio edit on iTunes below.

House | Axwell – Center Of The Universe (Remode)
Posted by Middy on May 30, 2013
He is back. After 2 years of no single releases, we finally have something from the man, the myth, the legend, Axwell. One of the giants in house music, he takes his time perfecting every little detail in his tracks and it shows not only in release rate, but also the quality that is seen in his discography.
“Center of the Universe” has been in circulation for several years now and the anticipation and excitement for it has not dwindled since the day it was first played to the public. With the remode of this potent track, Axwell goes for the pool party vibe, with a nuanced, well crafted true-to-the-name house approach, stripping the track of its big melody and concentrating on the groove and a delicate piano melody. There is no word on when the original will be released, but I cannot wait until then. I personally am more of a fan of the original, but the remode will be just fine until that day, whenever it may come.

Electro, Progressive House | Lift Off #011
Posted by Mel on April 20, 2013
You know how I said Lift Off would be a weekly thing on the last edition which was a month ago? Yeah I was kidding about that. A couple of things have gone down since the last edition. One being I saw two attractive girls holding hands which was pretty cool, the other being we have decided to end Lift Off. As well as us finding this series no longer necessary, we were also not too happy with the quality of tracks that were going up. I know you’re on the edge of tears regarding the end of this series and for that I don’t apologize because nothing is going to really change. The songs that would normally appear on Lift Off will still be posted, just not on Lift Off and when they actually come out. That’s better isn’t it? There has been a bit of a drought of good, free house music for the past couple of weeks so this should satisfy you for at least a day or so and if not you can at least have solace in the fact that you don’t drive a van.
We start things off with dBerrie who puts his own upbeat spin on Kaskade’s classic “Angel On My Shoulder”.
I’m not a huge fan of Bruno Mars. His songs are generally really sappy and sad I just can’t handle it. Luckily though, NYC based duo Filtercrush has made his “When I Was Your Man” into something worth listening to.
Included in Tjernberg’s two track EP, “Watch Then World End” is a fun and catchy song that could easily be on the radio. It can also be enjoyed while sitting on a public bench and crying.
Progressive House | Little Daylight – Overdose (The Chainsmokers Remix)
Posted by Mel on March 13, 2013
Continuing their trend of remixing indie songs, quite possibly the greatest producing duo to ever exist besides Daft Punk and pretty much everyone else, The Chainsmokers have released another classic. For those who are unaware of who these two fine gentlemen are, i’ll briefly describe them. Have you ever thought about taking a bath and then realized what a ridiculous idea that is? Or how about when you’re home alone so you use the washroom with the door open but then your dog comes in and just stares at you. That’s what The Chainsmokers are. They’re the dog that watches you pee and the bath you don’t want to have. “Why is that?” you may ask. Well that’s because they think Leighton Meester is a 6.5 and Megan Fox is a 10.
But enough about their inaccurate scale of objectifying women, they just released a new song. They say it’s by far their favorite remix they’ve done and I can see why. I’m not sure if I like it better than their classic “Around Us” remix, but it’s definitely close. It’s in my top 200 for sure. The Chainsmokers have perfected the formula that they’ve used for their previous remixes. As well as having mastered such a rare thing these days, an intro that I actually enjoy listening to, they have a knack for injecting the energy of house music into songs while keeping much of the feel of the original intact. Sit back, click play, and ponder this wonderful piece of advice I was given by the guys themselves “if you’re anything as witty as you are online, you will likely get laid before you die… 😉

Electro-House, Progressive House | Nicky Romero & ZROQ – WTF!?
Posted by Sev on May 28, 2012
Nicky Romero is back at it again, but this time with a little help from ZROQ, releasing their new single WTF!? The wait from UMF nearly killed me. Watching the stream of Nicky dropping this track just sent me over the top as well as with the crowd. He has yet to disappoint me with his releases, and the fact that he brings his own hard hitting electro style to house music makes me favor him even more because he strives to put himself on a different level from his colleagues. Providing us with an amazing Nicky Romero intro we love so much, that slowly builds its way to an over-the-top, electro styled drop that leaves you in a state of “WTF!?”. Nicky Romero will be a force to be reckoned with this year, and this is only a taste of what is to come. You can grab this track on Beatport HERE.
Exclusive | The Two Friends – Solitaire (Original Mix)
Posted by dshaq on May 1, 2012
Electro music has slowly been growing on me, especially house music. What The Two Friends did with this song is pure magic. The beautiful synths, quality production, and complimenting vocals all mesh to make this a must download. Now you can stream the song below, but you will have to go to their Facebook page to grab the download, which I strongly encourage doing!
Mashups | Mashup Germany- Numb Encore 2012
Posted by ATexas on April 25, 2012
I’ve been in a real reminiscent mood lately; busting out converse and all my 1996-2004 music. So I was surprised to see somebody use Numb/Encore and bringing it to 2012. Look I have no issue that this song is a remix of an old song, that actually makes me like it more. Figure it out. House music needed to meet this Jay and Linkin song.
