House, Mashups | Middy’s Mashups
Posted by Middy on December 1, 2011
I have a treat for you guys with some awesome bootlegs that are all must haves. I have the latest edition of KMM or Kaskade Mashup Mondays, which mashes the Dada Life Remix of Kaskade’s “Dynasty” with Dada Life’s “White Noise/Red Meat”. The drop gets a different feel and is slightly heavier, giving it a refreshing new sound.

Here are three more bootlegs with two coming from Alvin Doe, a Swedish producer. The first is an amazing bootleg with Nero’s “Promises”, smooth vocals from Cassius “I Love You” and the amazing drop from Michael Wood’s “Bullet”. You know those bootlegs that you hear live or in a recording of set and you just have them? Well I have two of them for you, the first being incredibly popular among DJs like SHM and the second a bootleg done by Sebastian Ingrosso. They are redone for your downloading and listening pleasure at any time.

R3hab and Michael Woods have delivered their remixes for Benny Benassi’s “Close To Me”. R3hab delivers his signature “chainsaw madness” as he likes to call it and absolutely kills this with an insane drop. Michael Woods delivers a more synth driven house song with good builds and great drops that get better and better. Get the remixes on Beatport HERE.

DJ-Set, Events | Electric Zoo Recap & Sets
Posted by Middy on September 13, 2011
The EDM beast that broke out of its cage at Electric Zoo had a similar effect as the Bronx Cobra, which had the entire city of New York captivated. Although this event wasn’t putting any lives at risk per se, the crowds, which were hardly distinguishable from animals, could hardly be tamed. Yet that’s to be expected when the likes of Afrojack, Tiesto, Guetta, Armin, Skrillex, Alesso, Hardwell, amongst countless other powerful DJ’s are on stages fortified by walls of massive lights.
As I mentioned in my last concert review, if the large crowds and expensive ticket prices intimidate you enough to avoid these festivals, you’ll be kicking yourself in a few years when it’s no longer acceptable or as fun for you to attend. Sure, it might cost you a few hundred bucks to catch all three days, but those memories will be priceless in the end, I promise.
Will call, line speeds, and security checks are always the first sign of a properly run event. Electric Zoo earned an “A” in this department as it took roughly 15 minutes to clear everything. Since I’m not a New York native, I opted out of the affiliated transportation options and took taxis, but it did look really well organized.
Since Electric Zoo featured numerous big name acts, I’m going to break this review down into a few sections: favorite performance, crowd favorite, best up and comer, and honorable mentions.
Check out the rest of the review as well as the sets and tracklists after the jump and there are a lot of them so enjoy.

House | Kaskade, Vodge Diper, Michael Woods, Nicky Romero
Posted by Middy on August 4, 2011
There have been versions of this song out for a while, but finally the official version is going to be released on the 8th and it is going to be amazing to hear the final product. Kaskade is one of a kind because he is not only an amazing DJ, but he gives out free remixes and original tracks frequently to show his appreciation for his fans. This is the instrumental for the remix he did a while back, it is still absolutely fire.

Vodge Diper, someone who I interviewed last month has given out another free track that is incredible. He takes the signature hard electro of Mord Fustang and adds his own synth melodies to it, creating an amazing track.

This Michael Woods track is a progressive bomb with great piano, bass and accompanying synth work, this song has everything for a progressive house song.

This Nicky Romero song has it all. It is not his typical dutch style, but the synth work is impeccable, the vocals by Mitch Crown flow smoothly over the synth cords and with the bass you will just want to get up and dance. I added the widely acclaimed DBN remix, which keeps the main themes of the song, but adds a few little changes to put their spin on it.
