Progressive House | Alesso ft. Matthew Koma – Years

Posted by on August 4, 2012

Happy Saturday everyone, “Years” is finally out. After hearing this played countless times on radio shows by Pete Tong, Sebastian Ingrosso and Swedish House Mafia and seeing the song evolve over the last several months, it is a relief to have this one finally be released. Matthew Koma has become one of the most in demand vocalist’s lately, with his vocal edit of “Sparks” and “Spectrum” already under his belt. Alesso delivers on a sublime piano melody with a complex snare based bass line to create this blissful festival sized track. Expect “Years” to get some heavy play the end of this summer as the dog days of August wind down and Fall approaches.

This summer has lacked that signiature track that really defined the sound of the summer. Last summer had “Levels” and more specifically “Calling”. “In My Mind” is still getting plenty of air play because it has yet to see a song unseat it as song of the year, but otherwise for potential anthems released this summer, you will come up empty. “Sparks” may just be that song. I am not guaranteeing an anthem from this track because I am not Nostradamus, but if this song were getting drafted into the anthem draft, it would go number one this summer. It will have stiff competition from two tracks coming out in the coming weeks in “Top Of The World” and Afrojack – Rock The House, but either way watch out because sparks will fly on July 16th when this is unleashed on the world.

Progressive House | Zedd Feat. Matthew Koma – Spectrum (Moiez Remix)

Posted by on June 22, 2012

Canadian producer Moiez has released his remix of Zedd’s “Spectrum” luckily for us before the announcement of the “Spectrum” Beatport remix contest that will inevitably be filling up my inbox in the coming days. Moiez keeps the emotion of the track and adds his melodic flare to it by tinkering only slightly with the build and then reconstructing almost entirely the drop into a peak time, hands in the air break of a driving, clap dominating bass line, melodic synth chords and rising synths. If you didn’t check out his previous tracks do so and from the looks of it, we have something good brewing here with this young Canadian.

Electro-House | Zedd – Spectrum (feat. Matthew Koma)

Posted by on June 4, 2012

Despite being leaked a little while ago, Zedd’s masterpiece “Spectrum” with Matthew Koma still has nearly all the momentum behind its release. Zedd has grown immensely as a producer, exploring new styles and sounds, while becoming a globally recognizable name not just in niche circles, but in the mainstream conscious. This is not the typical formula of a Zedd track, though he has been experimenting lately with his hardstyle track “Shotgun”. Spectrum is more progressive than what we usually expect from the German with the vocals from Matthew Koma that are different from your usual house vocals, almost reminding me for Dream Theater’s vocals, with intricate key play long synth chords and a slow, calculated bass line in the build. It crescendos into a break of driving bass, pulsing synth chords and a well crafted, pitched melody with an electro house interlude that we would expect to hear from Zedd. Expect to hear this early and often from your favorite electro house producers this festival season and plenty during Starscape this Saturday.

Releasing June 6th off of Interscope Records is probably one of the best tracks we have heard from Zedd, which says a lot. The vocals from Matthew Koma really sets the mood of this track. Another one for the favorites list.  Zedd is one of the top producers for Electro-House, this might just push him up to that number one spot on the charts again.
