AndDrop! - We Come In PeaceFacebook | SoundCloud | Twitter

Ah shit, this track is too dope. AndDrop! just sent over “We Come In Peace,” a UK bass smash full of soul, and funk. I’m out here vibing like I’m an underground rave out in the UK on God knows what drugs, and I’m not even into that. I know I say this a lot but this is one of those records that you’re going to have to feel on your own, it’s not a particular genre, it’s a blend of many genres, but if you want to call it anything, just call it the future! Look out for these guys on tour, and if you were at EDC Las Vegas you’ve most probably seen them live! This is a must listen and a must download!

Progressive House | Danzfolk – Talos

Posted by on March 23, 2014

Danzfolk - Talos

I have been singing these guys’ praises for some time now and with the second volume of their epic MYTHOS trilogy in the books, I hope you can see why. No I don’t represent them, but just believe their music should be in front of more people. With “Leviathan” in the books, they head to Greece to unveil their next myth “Talos”. Taken from their soundcloud page, read below for some background on the myth,

‘Talos’ was a gigantic creature and guardian of Crete. Zeus presented him to his lover, Europa, as her personal protector from pirates and invaders. Talos was given the task of patrolling the island, circling it three times in a day. The giant did not allow any enemy ships to approach, hurling massive rocks to sink the wooden ships of those who dared to threaten Crete. If any managed to escape these and set foot on land, a horrific surprise lay in store for them. Talos entered a fire until his bronze body was red hot. Then he clasped his enemies in a tight embrace, burning them to death. Their bodies were found with their mouths wide open in agony and horror.

Exactly like the purpose of this series, the song has a mystical nature to it. “Talos” tells a story, one that builds beautifully like the island of Crete and then strikes with the controlled aggression of the song’s namesake. The tune is free and is about as good as free gets. If you want more Danzfolk, listen to this mix from them below.

Chill, House | Niykee Heaton – Bad Intentions (Matt DiMona Remix)

Since everybody is talking about it, I suppose I’ll just get it out of the way. It’s not going to happen for me tonight. It did happen for me last night though. Just kidding it didn’t. Anyway, the girl who I spent about 30 minutes perusing her Instagram this morning, Niykee Heaton, has had her song “Bad Intentions” remixed by the currently LA based producer Matt DiMona. I don’t really know much about these kinds of romantic songs, for obvious reasons (I just don’t really like them), but this has a nice feel to it. A large portion of the original is retained but he added more of a house groove to it. He actually says that you should, and I quote, “probably have sex to this song”. Should you? Well, as I have said many times before, I don’t even know how that would work. If you want to I guess you could. If you do, please tell me about it. I would love to know.

Electro-House, FYI | Troll of the Week: Maverix – Everyone Is Having Sex

Posted by on December 23, 2013

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you our troll of the week: Maverix. Following the likes of Daleri with their “Epic Mashleg,” and of course, the troll king, Deadmau5’s  indictment of big league dance music with “Drop Da Bomb,” our boy Maverix here took it to a whole new level by charting the Top 10 in Electro House on Beatport, currently reigning at #9. Yeah, he surfaced on one of the biggest genre charts in the market, and I’m pretty sure he’s f***ing with all of us (at least I hope he is).

Let’s take a look at the lyrics: “Everyone is having sex/If you’re not you’re too complex/Everyone is having sex/If you’re not, booty call text.” Normally something like this would leave me relatively unfazed, maybe a giggle at most, but the fact that this track has broken through the the ranks of the Electro House Top 100 and into the Top 10 has left me in awe of this guy’s trolling capabilities: it’s safe to say I’m impressed; and I’m not going to lie – I kind of want to dance to this song. Hats off to you, Maverix – well done.

If you want, go hit up Beatport. This track can be all yours for just $2.49 – throw this thing up to #1.
