House | vicii & Sebastian Drums – My Feelings For You (Spaveech Remix)
Posted by BIGLIFE on October 7, 2014
Before Avicii wore Polo and took “breaks” from his exhaustive tour schedule and spun it as he was spending more time in the studio to make new music for his fans, he was dropping underground hits like “My Feelings For You” with Sebastian Drums. New Jersey’s Spaveech (who looks like he could put Ric Flair in a headlock) puts an unlikely groovy twist on the original that’s impressive to say the last. Pick up this track for the price of a “like” on Spaveech’s fan page. You won’t be disappointed. Woooooo!
Events | Feed Me Brings The Teeth To Terminal 5
Posted by Middy on September 3, 2014
When you kick off a tour, you want to do it with a bang. Picking NYC for your city and Terminal 5 as your venue is a great way to kick things off not just me as a biased observer being from the area, but also with its size and impact on dance music. Terminal 5 has one of the best sound systems in the city and that was evident on this night. The low end was so strong during the show that the hairs on my body did not sit still for a second that he was playing. Not sure how the kids up front handled it (lots of drugs probably), but it was one of the most intense bass experiences I have felt, but with the clarity of Terminal 5’s speakers it was easy to take in.

Denver super producer James Egbert, just released his first full length album last month and he’s not taking any time off from the studio. James takes on Porter Robinson’s indie dance single “Flicker” and reworks it into an electro house heater made for the Dance floor. More of this please.

Dave Edwards drops his electro-pop touch on Kentö’s “Complicated” and packaged it all up in the form of a video for your listening and viewing pleasure. The more I listen to this remix I can only imagine the fun Dave must’ve had making this track in the studio, it’s so funky, and glitchy, it’s impossible not to feel! Mr. Edwards doesn’t release many remixes but when he does, you know you’re in for treat. I’ll let you tell it. This is a must listen!
Mashups | Trademark – Still Believe (Avicii X Tritonal X Martin Garrix X Feri & Multi)
Posted by Juicebox on January 28, 2014
Wondering where the hell Trademark has been? Turns outTrademark has been locked in the studio collaborating with one of the biggest vocalists in electronic music, Nadia Ali. If you get the chance to catch her live on her current tour, you can listen to the set her and Trademark put together. ANYWAYS, Trademark made another mashup and it’s another banger…what’s new.
Moombahton | Making Movies – Lo Que Quiero (Secret Sauce Remix)
Posted by Nick on January 18, 2014
Don’t get me wrong – I’ve been digging a lot of the more popular genre choices by artists today. With that in mind though, there are a lot of styles I really wish would make a comeback – especially Moombahton. Hot out of the studio with a remix of Making Movies’ “Lo Que Quiero,” the homies over at Secret Sauce have begun their own quest in raising the Dave Nada-inspired sound from the dead; and they seem to have done a pretty damn good job, knocking out a chilled track with clean reggaeton vibes. Shout out to our friends at Do Androids Dance for snagging the exclusive on this one – looks like we missed out.
Progressive House | Tiësto – Red Lights
Posted by Middy on December 18, 2013
We are seeing a trend here with dance music stars. Now that the biggest and most important music market in the world has bought in to dance music, DJs want a piece of the very lucrative pop pie. This is convenient because pop music is going in the dance direction, notably since the inroads made by Guetta with his tracks in the late 2000s, but it also requires DJs to meet the pop scene half way.
Hits like “Alive”, “Clarity” and “Get Lucky” didn’t sound engineered for radio, but ended up there anyway, but recently tracks like Afrojack’s “The Spark”, Armin van Buuren’s “This Is What It Feels Like”, Ferry Corsten’s “Many Ways” and now “Red Lights” all demonstrate the move to try and appeal to much wider audience. DJs no longer want to be the anonymous guy in the corner spinning tracks, they want to be brands, superstars and with commercial, crossover appeal coming easier every day, you can expect that to become more and more the norm.
The song is incredibly catchy and destined for radio; undoubtably its original purpose. It is the first of three singles from Tiësto’s upcoming album signed to Universal set for release next year. It will be his first album since “Kaleidoscope” back in 2010, so expect something very different. You can get a sneak peak at the process behind it including his producers Matt Nash & Dave Silcox in the studio, and how tracks were chosen on the fifth episode of In The Booth.
