Posted by on June 28, 2014

Whenever meeting an artist for the first time, you never know what you’re going to get. You go into with a certain trepidation and understanding that these artists could be a giant twat. It’s often hard to reconcile that idea, because it’s hard to separate the man from the music. So many times you’ll find that your favorite producer or artist makes great music, but isn’t the best person to be around.

DOWNLOAD: Nick Luebke – Numb (Remix)

Upcoming lady killer in the making, Nick Luebke is back with not only a new song, but a nice simple set a visuals to accompany it. This time around he remixes “Numb” by Usher making this the first remix he’s done since he first took the internet by storm in March with his “Call Me Maybe” remix. Just over a week ago I had the opportunity to see Nick Luebke perform as he opened for Mike Stud on two of his last four dates. He put on a good performance and his voice sounded great live. It’s only up from here.

Electro-House, Preview | Usher – Numb (Throttle Remix)

Posted by on November 12, 2012

Usher is widely hated, but also widely loved. I hate Usher, but I will not deny my respect for his music, the guy is good. Usher also has many awesome remixes done of his music. This new remix comes from Throttle, this also happens to be his official remix for “Numb.” Though there is no release date on the remix yet, it is definitely well worth listening to anyways. Throttle came through, keep the master’s voice strong while also providing a handsome melody to follow.

Hip-Hop, Videos | Ludacris – Rest Of My Life ft. Usher & David Guetta

Posted by on November 1, 2012

[do action=”youtube” videoid=”soXe4b38CCc”/]

Since knocking out hit after hit in the first decade of this century, the Hotlanta slugger has been yearning for a return to the top of the charts.  Sure, Luda has had his fair share of successful features and motion picture roles, but it’s been a minute since he had THAT radio HIT.  Evidently Luda couldn’t fight the feeling any longer, recruiting radio kings, Usher & David Guetta for his newest single, “Rest Of My Life”.  Although it appears to be missing the infamous ‘Word of Mouf’ type raps, Luda does indeed have a mainstream issued banger. Are you happy Luda took the “generic” course with his new single, or would you prefer he kept disturbing the underground peace? Available on iTunes this Friday, 11/2.

Electro-House | Carousel – Let’s Go Home (Sound Remedy Remix)

Posted by on October 21, 2012


This remix is an incredible listen to end the weekend and usher in a new week. Most of the track starts from chilled out, happy house, but later in the track breaks in a crunchy electric guitar solo. As I listened, I thought the vocals were what really brought this masterpiece together, but the guitar solo takes everything that was there and shoots for the moon. Direct hit.

Albums, House, Pop | David Guetta – Nothing But The Beat 2.0

Posted by on September 12, 2012

David Guetta may be the most hated man in dance music, but he (or his production team) sure knows how to make hit singles. The vast majority of the album are just re-releases of tracks from the original Nothing But The Beat, but there are 5 tracks on here that you should get to know before they become the soundtrack of your nightlife as the world picks up on these new hits. Using the exact cover design as Nothing But The Beat, David Guetta or Giorgio Tuinfort, Frédéric Riesterer and co. spare no shameless sample as they take Alice DJ’s timeless classic, “Alone Tonight” and transcribe it into “Play Hard” with Usher & Akon, a track bound for radio success.

iTunes: David Guetta – Nothing But The Beat 2.0

That is not to say that some of these tracks are not tunes we can all dance to. “Every Chance We Get We Run” tags Alesso to come in to take the production reigns, much like Avicii did on “Sunshine” and at first I was expecting him to mail it in like he did with his work on Usher’s “Numb”, but surprisingly the production work is very good. It sounds like vintage Alesso, dumbed down some to fit a radio audience, while working in tandem with vocals with Tegan Quin & Sara. Guetta’s production team’s mark can be seen with guitar melody in the build, while Alesso elevates the production with a layered melody in the drop.

Nervo joins Guetta and co to give us “In My Head” as they provide the vocals on the track and invariably helped on some of the production. The track provides catchy vocals with a melody that bridges the gap between dance and radio, as Guetta has done countless times before. The track that I find myself coming back to the most, “Just One Last Time” combines excellent vocals that will get stuck in your head from Taped Rai with a superb melody that is begging for an Alesso remix, but still stands tall on its own as well. “What The F***”, David Guetta’s instrumental effort is rather lackluster with a drop that does not separate itself from previous efforts.

Overall the album lacks creativity with the same exact cover art and using the context of a “new album” to rerelease a bunch of old material. That being said the new tracks were surprisingly good, despite the use of a shameless sample. These tracks will inundate party playlists and radios nationwide very soon, so get on these now.

DJ-Set, House | Usher – Scream (Pierce Fulton Remix) + Get Weird Ep #004

Posted by on August 29, 2012

Despite its inevitable leak a little while ago, Pierce Fulton’s remix of Usher’s Scream now sees the official light of day. It takes a more progressive side of Pierce’s sound that we saw in his earlier works, like on his “Pardon My French EP”, using Usher’s vocals splendidly, letting them shine over soft pads and then in the chorus bringing up the tempo with a playful arp, and melodic chords with vocals bits creating a superb harmony. Also included in the remix package are remixes from R3hab who gives us his saws that we have seen time and time again and Project 46 who puts out a superb progressive remix that rivals Pierce’s remix.

Also below is the 4th episode of Get Weird, Pierce Fulton’s radio show on Tiesto’s radio channel that is now hosting a contest where you can have your own show on there, details here. The set includes what we have grown accustomed to hearing in Get Weird with a unique tracklist of lesser known tracks from tech to progressive to house tracks. It is a great way to get you ready for Electric Zoo this weekend with Pierce’s set at the rough slot of noon on Sunday and includes some unreleased tracks as well. Tracklist after the jump.
