Monday Morning Motivation
The time has come where the week has to start again, and already we're looking forward for the weekend to come. So here are a few tracks that would help prolong that weekend afterglow and keep us going till the one to come!
Rob Marmot & My Digital Enemy - African Drop (Tom Staar Remix)
A breath of fresh air is what this track is, something unique in the EDM scene, with a huge acid and tribal influence the crossover of both genres into a house track has proven to be really successful, garnering support from the likes of Alesso and Ingrosso.
AN21, Max Vangeli ft. Julie Mcknight - Bombs Over Capitals (Original Mix)
Another track released by the duo before their forthcoming 'People Of The Night' album, a track that is sure to make hands go straight in the air once heard, looking forward to see what more these two, along with Julie Mcknight have to offer in the future.
Derrick May - Strings Of Life (Original Mix)
Sometime during the 80's/90's this gem of a house track was made, and it was one of the most influential songs ever created that would change artists sounds in electronic music forever, the first time the concept of harmonizing and layering with strings and melodies from strings in a house track, this is where it all came from. check it out!
RELEASE: Dragonette - In This City (Madera Remix)
Up and comer producer known as Madera knows what he's doing when it comes to tracks like this, giving us feel good big room vibes when it comes to tracks such as these, this guy is definitely one to look for. The melodies in this track are one to compete with, so have a look and see what i'm talking about, nothing beats the feel good vibe! Enjoy!
Filo & Peri w Delerium & Sarah McLachlan - The Summer of Silence (Filo & Peri Mashup)
Probably still the most hypnotic vocals in electronic music ever, Delerium's 'Silence' is mashed up with a track by the trance dou who go by 'Filo & Peri', called the summer, incorporating feel good elements with the hypnotic vocals, this is definitely one of those gems that a requirement in anyone's libraries.

MUST WATCH: Idris Elba's "How Clubbing Changed the World"
Idris Elba, an old school DJ to electronic music, talks to us about some of the defining moments of electronic music and how it changed the world, as well as western society as we know it today. From it's roots, to the evolution of the genres ranging from dubstep to disco. This has definitely been the most informative documentary on the electronic music revolution I have ever watched, from the drug use that is seen to be in tandem with the genre, to the political attitudes taken towards raving, this documentary covers everything. A must watch!
RELEASE: Dada Life - Feed The Dada (Original Mix)
Sorry for being a bit late on this one, but Dada Life have finally released their first track from their upcoming album entitled 'Feed The Dada'. The swedish duo, in my opinion, are one of the few people that have stayed true to their music throughout the years that EDM has blown up, keeping and nurturing the sound that they have had from the beginning, as well as the fact that they always look like they're having a blast and it definitely rubs off onto the listeners. In terms of the track, they have created a huge electro drop sure to rattle speakers everywhere around the world, as well some fun vocals perfect for a Dada Life song.
Feed The Dada (Original Mix)
RELEASE: NERVO & Hook & Sling - Reason (Original Mix)
When you see NERVO's name on a track, you can always expect top class vocals from the Australian twins, along with a great progressive feel. Coming off hot from their hit 'You're Gonna Love Again' they have no signs of slowing down with this track, which I have to say is at par with their previous track, peppered with the Hook & Sling sound during the drop, this track can do no wrong, definitely up there with one of the best releases of the month!
Reason (Original Mix)
RELEASE: Alesso & Dirty South ft. Rudy - City Of Dreams (Original Mix)
Two musical geniuses come together for one of the biggest masterpieces of the year, first debuted at Creamfields Australia, people have been eagerly awaiting for this to come out. Although it's sound is still progressive you can't help but feel that this song brings something fresh to the industry, which is probably exactly what it needs right now. Ruben Haze's vocals AKA Rudy do not disappoint either, adding to the huge amounts of emotion that the track already holds. Check it out!
City Of Dreams (Original Mix)
Sultan & Ned Shepard ft. Taryn Manning - Send Me Your Love (Original Mix)
With their previous track 'Walls' garnering so much success that it was featured on Tiesto's most recent compilation, the duo Sultan & Ned Shepard have shown no signs of slowing down. Send Me Your Love is a huge progressive hit, the vocals are beautiful from start to finish, although in my opinion get a little bit too poppy at times, it still sounds great on the track.
Send Me Your Love (Original Mix)
Afrojack: Annie's Theme (Original Mix)
Afrojack has graced us with the full preview of a new track with the temporary title of Annie's Theme, as it was first debuted on Annie Mac's radio show. Afrojack shows us what he does best and gives us bassy bleeps, showcasing the signature dutch house sound, check it out!
PREVIEW: Madeon - The City (Original Mix)
The 18 year old frenchman is at it again, featuring us a preview of his latest feel good track, his sound ever present. Mastering that balance between the newly dubbed complextro genre with the right amount of french house, he's been using this as his opener for big events for a while now so it's glad to see he's finally releasing the track!
Joris Voorn - Spank The Maid (Original Mix)
During the meteoric rise of EDM, the 2 genres that have been under appreciated the most are Deep and Tech house, as underrated as these genre's are they still remain an important part of electronic music, especially within the underground movement and late hours of the night, tech and deep house prove to be the most effective music to rave to, so here is my first ever deep/tech house post, which you will see many more of. A great classic and one that you can just get lost to, have a look!
Spank The Maid (Original Mix)
RELEASE: Deniz Koyu ft. Wynter Gordon - Follow You (Original Mix)
Known for making his summer anthems 'Bong' and 'Tung', Koyu takes a different direction with this track, and uses a more progressive sound, this for me is one of the biggest tracks i've ever, Gordon's pop vocals fit this track perfectly and the instrumental is just so infectious that you're just going to have to stand up and start dancing once you hear it. Check it out!
Follow You (Original Mix)
2 Day Package
Although there are going to be a bunch of releases over the next 2 days which will absolutely blow your minds, I am going to a very remote area with lack of internet until wednesday morning, so here are a few tracks that should keep you guys satisfied while i'm gone!
Swedish House Mafia Ft. John Martin- Don't You Worry Child (Extended Mix)
No explanation needed for this track, just that not pressing download would be a crime.
Project 46 - Whistles
The canadian duo flex their progressive muscles once more to give us their original titled 'Whistles', a feel good progressive track perfect for the late night.
Zedd ft. Matthew Koma - Spectrum (Deniz Koyu Remix)
Although the original is impossible to beat, the Deniz Koyu remix is still worth a post, injecting his sound and adding some bass, when I was at Tomorrowland this was a staple in most DJ's sets. Check it out!
Markus Schulz & Ferry Corsten - Loops & Tings (Extended Mix)
2 trance heavyweights combine to give us a banger of a track, a very progressive, dark song with one hell of a melody in the breakdown, enjoy!
Recovery Sundays
As this week is coming to a close and summer is slowly coming to an end, slower tracks are starting to become more of a necessity just to wind down and get back into the groove of things. So here are 2 tracks to start your day off in the right way!
Pillowtalk - Soft (Life and Death Remix)
I am absolutely obsessed with this track, it is a classic and the vocals are just so enticing along with the instrumental that comes along with it. Have a listen and check it out!
Haley vs. Deadmau5 - Falling In Love With Brazil
An old school mashup, made by kaskade during the early years of his career and is a gem up to now, his old sounds ever present, giving the track a more chill aura.
Weekend Package
Well into the weekend and in need of a little EDM kickstart? Then here are 2 great tracks that are sure to get you going one more round tonight! Enjoy!
A mashup of Inpetto's No More Serious Faces and Adrian Lux's Eagles. It's amazing how the pitch of the song can work so well with each other, and how the vocals were pushed back to the first breakdown, definitely one of the better mashups out there. Check it out!
Mike Candys & Jack Holiday - One More Time (Original Mix)
A funky and bassy revamp of the Daft Punk classic, the out of nowhere drop which is understated yet so good in so many ways is one that will definitely get you dancing in the late hours of the night, check it out!
RELEASE - Swedish House Mafia - Don't You Worry Child (Radio Edit)
Don't You Worry Child (Radio Edit)
PREVIEW: David Guetta & Nicky Romero - Oval
I have slowly started to respect David Guetta again, after starting his label Jackback Records, releasing strictly non mainstream stuff (I use that term loosely) and shifting his focus from making chart hits and changing it to club bangers. The duo behind the Beatport hit 'Metropolis' are back with a preview of a track that I have to say sends chills down my spine, the sound of Romero ever present, giving us that electric sounds similar to that of 'Sparks', definitely one to wait for!
Dzeko & Torres ft. Jed Harper - Diamond Rings (Michael Woods Edit)
In a world full of rapidly growing generic electronic music, English born Michael Woods has been able to set himself apart since the beginning, with influences spanning across electro to tech, the diversity of his productions really showcases his knowledge of music and his ability to translate that into unique sounds. This shows us a heavier side to Woods, grinding synths and a fun sample before the drop, a high energy track from beginning to end!
Diamond Rings (Michael Woods Edit)
RELEASE: John Dahlback - Comet (Original Mix)
As we move towards the latter part of the summer, we'll be getting those releases from the producers that have not yet made that much of an impact to this season. Swede John Dahlback has just given us a huge track, a rave ready track with a massive acid house influence. The funky first drop is what makes the track in my opinion, followed by a great melodic and bouncy breakdown. Check it out!
Comet (Original Mix)
John De Sohn ft. Andreas Moe - Long Time (Benny Benassi Remix)
Having been lucky enough to see this veteran of electronic music, I can tell you that dropping this song brings such a great vibe to the crowd, euphoric vocals along with that electro Benassi twist makes for a banger of a track, although I still think the original is a gem of a track, Benassi's take definitely gives you a different outlook, both good. Check it out!
RELEASE: Eric Turner vs. Avicii - Dancing In My Head (Avicii's Been Cursed Mix)
First debuted by the swede in January, I have been waiting for this track to come out since January when he first played at his NYE show in New York. Eric Turner contributes to what is an amazing instrumental track, euphoric rolling piano synths and a vibe that will catch anyones attention, the leader of the new wave has done it again with this track, check it out! This track has another more radio friendly version coming out under his Tom Hangs alias, also due for release soon.
Dancing In My Head (Avicii's Been Cursed Remix)
Recovery Sundays
There's been a lack of Recovery Sundays within the blog which I apologize for! Things have been busy as of late so haven't had the time to dig for tracks as much as i'd like to, but without further ado here are 2 chill tracks to start your sunday off right. Enjoy!
Bag Raiders - Way Back Home (Original Mix)
The bag raiders impress again with their single 'Way Back Home', following their Indie-dance type template, chilling vocals and a more laidback vibe compared to what I usually post on the blog!
Bag Raiders - Sunlight (Armand Van Helden Remix)
As the song title suggests, this song is just perfect for those happy, summery days, while Armand Van Helden adds a little bit of kick to the track, making it perfect to just bop around to. A great sunday track for the sun, check it out!
FULL PREVIEW: Swedish House Mafia - Don't You Worry Child (Original Mix)
The swedish trio have finally debuted what is to be their final single ever, and they definitely pulled out all the stops to make this track what it's acclaimed to be (Ingrosso said their tour manager cried upon hearing the track), uplifting piano synths and John Martins vocals make for this song to be a progressive masterpiece. Can't wait for the actual track to come out but at least we now have a high quality rip! Have a listen if you already haven't done so!
