Dakota, aka Markus Schulz, released his awesome Progressive Trance track 'Sinners' back in February. Released on Coldharbour Red Recordings, this track has so much energy. It has Dakota's feel and emotion in it. Great build up, amazing synths & one huge techy bass drop.
Vito de Santis aka 'Vitodito', Italian Trance DJ released a new EP with Shah-Music Digital on 4th March. Fairy Kiss includes both the original mix and radio edit for 'Where Is My Donut' & 'Fairy Kiss'. Fairy Kiss is a wonderful Tech-Trance/Uplifting Trance track with beautiful angelic vocals, this is certainly a track that will give you a smile. Where Is My Donut, is much more of a Progressive/Uplifting Trance track that doesn't include any vocals, but will still make you smile and dance like there's no tomorrow!
David No Fuck also known as DenDave , from Poland, has already created a fair few remixes this year. Two of the better mixes being: DJ Jose - Hecitate 2011 (David No Fuck Remix) & Genlog - Peace, Love & Extazy 2011 (David No Fuck Bootleg VIP Edit). David's tracks are mixtures of Electro House, Pumping House & elements of Dutch House; in his earlier sets. Below are the remixes for Genlog & DJ Jose, plus his Promo 2011 Mixtape.
Now who remembers the club banger "Freestyler" by Finnish group Bomfunk MC's? Back in 2000 it topped charts all over the world. Well BetaTraxx has brought it back 11 years later with deep and heavy Dubstep vibes. When playing this make sure you have your bass at 100%
Vaski has dusted off an old trance classic; Darude - Sandstorm, and thrown in a filthy dubstep mix. Another amazing remix sure to get plenty of plays in many DJ sets.
Not that long ago Butch Clancy gave the epic indie track "The Funeral" a pretty good Dubstep edge. But now PeaceTreaty have given that remix a fusion of electro, Big Room House & Progressive beats. This mix is a true head banger. Well done to the 3 from LA!!
Organ Donors new track, awesomely remixed by DJ Isaac is a blend of Hardstyle & Dubstep. Hardstyle has an average tempo of between 140 & 160 BPM, whereas Dubstep is generally slower. There arent many songs where these two genres splice.
Released on Audio Surgery Records on March 1st 2011. Available on: Trackitdown
A video of a recent Charlie Sheen interview is going around the internet of his drug life. What is going around more is a dubstep remix of said video by uploader DJ Ephixa.
Brand new mashup from OVERWERK called "I Am London". Fantastic beats and chopped samples, Electro & his friend Hip-Hop meet OVERWERK in this awesomely created piece. Free on Soundcloud below and being played tonight at The Loft in Guelph, ON Canada. Sure to be another hit with his fans and followers. I Am London by OVERWERK Facebook: OVERWERK
*BONUS* The Nth º (With Intro) - OVERWERK. Very much like his first track self titled OVERWERK, both have epic intros merged with electro synths & beats. The Nth º by OVERWERK
New single from Chemistry vs Mikkas called Into You, was released on February 25th on Spin That records. All remixes including the original version are available to buy on Juno. Now the mix I am showing is the Mikkas Remix, and in my opinion the best remix of the set. It's an awesome clash of tech-trance & euro-trance with hards beats and plenty of bass. A preview is available on Soundcloud below, and the Juno link is underneath.
Two fantastic edits have been created recently for Duran Duran's single Wild Boys & Madonna's track Lucky Star.
First we have the LA Duo, Classixx, remix of Lucky Star called "Fortunate Star". This is a light dub edit which people have been going mad for at their recent sets.
Next we have Mustang's re-edit of Wild Boys, as said on their Soundcloud "THIS EDIT WE MADE WITH LOVE & PASSION IS A GIFT FOR YOU...PLAY IT A LOT ! " This was created back in September of last year but it really is a great track full of progressed electro beats & chopped up vocals.
Hip-Hop, funk & electronica group Fort Knox Five have recently released another great funky mash up track. Mixing their assortment of funky beats with vocals from Hot Chocolate and rhymes from Lyrics Born. Fort Knox always know how to make unconventional tunes work together, and create an amazing mix of soul, funk, vocals & housey vibes.
The electro/house duo from Sydney released their self titled album back in September 2010. But recently Spinstyles, from Kansas City has given one of the tracks; "Sunlight" a dubstep and Moombahton twist. A highly rated track which I shall give a 4/5!
BetatraXx, aka Tim Nelson, from Los Angeles has thrown out this hugely awaited EP for FREE! The X EP is a full opera of hard electro, thrash and dirty beats. Last month BetatraXx released a short teaser of the epic track "Panzer" which was real music bait for us electro-heads.
Hey bloggers, I have been away for so long. To be honest though there hasn't been much new music to rave (I actually hate that word at the moment) about. But it seems that the Christmas spirit has got so many producers creating amazing tracks for this year and previews for 2011.
First we have some progressive trance for you with Fafaq - Carimucho. Apparently this Polish DJ's name stands for (Fucking Annoying Frequently Asked Questions) I don't know if this is true though. Carimucho has an awesome tech/progressive buildup, then at about 4:45 it spirals into beautiful true trance beats with excellent synths.
Next I have for you some pretty epic Tech-House called Girl (Mark Simmons Instrumental Mix) by House Guru Yves Larock & Tony Sylla featuring Tara McDonald, but as this is the instrumental mix, no vocals are heard. The Intro is pretty basic but then breaks into awesome synths and excellent piano play. 5 stars, a definite for any type of set or party.
Another house track for you, but this time coming from the legend that is Pete Tong. Teaming up with Paul Rogers again their new track Headstrong is a true crowd pleaser.
Some "Wobble Wobble Wobble" Fidget/Dirty House for you now, hailing from San Bernadino, California. Not much is known about them other than they are called The Gooniees (spelt with two e's) Their track Africa is by far my favourite 10/10 easily. Download Link: The Gooniees - Africa
Now some 80's stylised Synthpop/Disco House Crockett's Theme by Michael Cassette. This is a great rework of the original by Jan Hammer for Miami Vice. Sounds like OVERWERK & Vangelis tracks have just been thrown into a blender. What do you think?
Next we have a track from Alan & Paul, I can't find much information on the pair other than they are signed to Danceandlove. Their track Tintarella Di Luna (Paki & Jaro Remix) will certainly remind people of Yolanda Be Cool & Dcup's bomb 'We No Speak Americano'
I normally hate, with a passion, remixes of incredibly famous songs such as Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve. But Ellrich & Plaice have created a remix/cover that I can't argue with. A Tech-House version that keeps in tune with the original and doesn't just ruin the song.
Christian Luke from Melbourne, Australia, in the last 4 years has remixed tracks for some of the worlds biggest artists. Such as, Dirty South, Carl Kennedy, StoneBridge, Kurd Maverick & many others. In 2008 his remix of Kurd Maverick's "Blue Monday" was stuck at the number 1 position of the charts for 8 weeks, also being played on Pete Tongs show on Radio 1. Here we have a new mix from him; Kanye West featuring Pusha T - RUNAWAY (Christian Luke ReVibe) a very nice house track, sounding familiar to the works of The Lindbergh Palace.
Before I bombard you some great previews of tracks expecting release in 2011 I have found this superb track from budding producer Conner Youngblood from Dallas, Texas. His track Monsters really is fantastic, I really can't stop hyping about it. Conner throws in a mix of Dubstep, his own vocals and what must be a banjo of all things. I like to call it Banjostep, maybe the start of a whole new genre haha.
Albin Myers, one of Swedens superstar DJ's has remixed an awesome version of Oskar Linnros' track Genom Eld. A fusion of vocals, house, and bouncy bass.
Next we have Belgian producer Basto!. New track called Gregory's Theme which was played on Pete Tong's 3/12/10 show. This will be a house bomb, piano, synths and all out awesomeness.
Pryda aka Eric Prydz called Illusions. Pryda has been very busy the last couple of months creating some, sure to be, amazing tracks for 2011. Illusions certainly is one of them. First heard on the Pete Tong show the other week.
Finally we have a track which has been released today, Jordy Lishious - Radiator (Funkagenda & Jordy Lishious Re-Edit) a tech-house/progressive house. This certainly has a run-in for one of the top 10's of 2010, will be on my top 10 list.
Just a quick one! Chris Montana & Dave Ramone have done an excellent remix of Casanovy - I Need your lovin'. Progressive House with uplifting vocal elements, another 5 star track that is in my top for this month.
Imagine if Breaks, Dubstep & Dream House had a 3-way lovechild, Subvader would be the result. Subvader aka Peter Wiley, 19 year old sociology student from Ann Arbor Michigan. Subvader started messing about with music software at 13, and more recently getting into the electronic scene. Using Logic, Korg Radius and various retro keyboards. Getting his first signed track last year, more recently he has just finished his killer remix of Kavinsky - Nightcall. Nightcall (Subvader Remix) by Subvader
Subvader has a small but strong collection of tracks so far, and hopefully soon will be seen on the new Crunk Kidz remix EP, with his remix of "loserkid". So much more to come from this aspiring producer. Ghost Ship by Subvader Arctica by Subvader Please support Subvader in buying "Y'all Can't Handle Me" on Beatport. Y'all Can't Handle Me by Subvader
This is the first time I have seen a remix from the Call Of Duty series, which is actually quite suprising. What's more suprising is that it isn't all that bad. By an unknown producer called Dimitry G. Call Of Duty MW2 - Extraction Point (Dimitry G. Remix). Available for download from Tunescoop.
New single from Chemistry vs Mikkas called Into You, was released on February 25th on Spin That records. All remixes including the original version are available to buy on Juno. Now the mix I am showing is the Mikkas Remix, and in my opinion the best remix of the set. It's an awesome clash of tech-trance & euro-trance with hards beats and plenty of bass.
