FREE DOWNLOAD: Ellie Goulding - Lights (Feenixpawl Bootleg)

The duo who are partly responsible for creating the best track of 2012 so far 'In My Mind' have released a free download for reaching 25,000 fans. This track is definitely going to be played out on a lot of sets this weekend, including mine. Ellie Goulding's vocals are slightly set back and Feenixpawl let the instrumental lead the way instead of making it the other way around, resulting in an absolutely mesmerizing track!!!

Calvin Harris ft. Example - We'll Be Coming Back (R3hab EDC Remix)

First debuted at NYC (hence the name) R3hab adds an extremely progressive sound to the track, leaving behind his usual chainsaw sounds and opting for a more feel good song perfect for the summer. This track, especially the remix, is definitely up there for being the potential hit of the summer. Enjoy!

Avicii - ID (Jakob Liedholm's Summerburst Edit)

Although the melody has been slightly changed to use a different synth instead of Avicii's signature one. Liedholm's rendition of the upcoming Avicii banger is relatively the same, having been lucky enough to see this track live I can tell you that it is going to be way bigger than levels, such a great melody. Have a listen!

Shinedown - Unity (Matisse & Sadko Remix)

Once again, Matisse & Sadko have created a track that is set to take the EDM world by storm and  garner heavy support from the biggest names in the industry, their remix of Unity follows the same progressive leads as their last hit 'Beating Of My Heart', but still keeping it a fresh new track at the same time, here is an HQ radio rip to keep you guys satisfied!

Santigold - The Keepers (The Knocks Remix)

The Knocks have been a quiet duo working behind the studio lately, and the results seem to be extremely beneficial to the dance music community. Releasing this track as a free download, it's the perfect way to put them back onto the scene. Check it out!!!

Dannic - Tombo (Original Mix)

Although this track may not be for all of you, this was definitely worth a post, a funky, somewhat tech influenced cut from Revealed Recordings prodigy Dannic. With a lot of intricacies within the track as well as layers that make the song what it is, it's extremely impressive to see someone like Dannic bring out a less harder hitting track.

TRACK OF THE MONTH: Hard Rock Sofa & Squire - Just Can't Stay Away

It may not be the best release this month, but it's definitely the most important, and although I say it's not the best release its definitely up there and it'll be included in my top 10 for sure. Hard Rock Sofa & Squire take a more progressive take on this track, which seems to be an increasing trend, with producers who are used to hard hitting tracks such as Wolfgang Gartner testing waters with tracks such as 'Redline' and this seems to be the case again. Great piano breakdowns and a not so hard hitting drop with the perfect amount of synths. I say this is the most important track because this is definitely going to catch the attention of people whom have been unlucky enough to have never heard of Hard Rock Sofa before. Check it out!

BANGER ALERT: Mikael Weermets, Bauer & Lanford - Out Of Control (Original Mix)

It's finally great to see an amazing orignal track from Mikael Weermets, garnering heavy support from the likes of Tiesto, I hope this track finally gives his him the huge recognition he so rightfully deserves. Credit to Bauer & Lanford for this track as well, the piano breakdown as well as the somewhat fidget-y vocals are great, enjoy!

Dragonette - Pick Up The Phone (Madera Remix)

A great feel good remix by up and coming producer madera, still relatively unheard of, this guy is for sure going places!! With those high pitched synths that we all know and love and some great progression within the track, i'm surprised this hasn't become more of a hit. Commended by Dragonette herself to be a great track!

Florence and The Machine vs. Avicii & David Guetta - Sunshine Spectrum (Natcho India Remake)

A great mashup that Avicii has been playing in a bunch of his sets as of late, the chart hit Spectrum blends perfectly with the synths and Avicii sound, have a look!

Temper Trap vs. Matisse and Sadko - Beating Of My Sweet Disposition Heart (AX Mashup)

Played by both Alesso and Nara & Milani in their livesets, although I originally thought that you could never mess with 'Beating Of My Heart' this defies that rule, the top line of Sweet Disposition fits perfectly with the euphoric synth play within the track. Have a listen!!!

PREVIEW: Chris Lake & John Dahlback - I Saw This Before

I love it when 2 great producers come together for a track, although initially I never saw this collaboration coming, it definitely makes sense once you hear the track, both of the producers sounds mesh so well, grinding basslines from Lake and melodic breakdowns from Dahlback, have a look!

Summer Package

Because i'm going on a flight which is gonna take around 20 hours,  it probably means that i'm not gonna be updating this blog till I get home. So here are some tracks as well as 2 epic previews that i'm listening to kick my summer off. Enjoy!!!

Otto Knows really wanted to tease his listeners with this one, as the preview cuts off right before the drop, although I haven't heard it yet if it's anything like his previous tracks then we're in for a treat!

Afrojack & R3hab - ID 
Courtesy of Bleed House, another awesome music blog. Afrojack and R3hab are just perfect together with Nick Van De Wall's high pitched bleeps and R3habs chainsaw background synths, can't wait for this one.  Here is a high quality radio rip which is good enough!


Chicane - Thousand Mile Stare 
I need to see this guy live, this track just brings out the best that trance has to offer, a laidback vibe but still enough punch to party to.  Sorry but I couldn't find a DL link for this one so here is the youtube video.


Although I think the Qulinez remix can never ever be topped this is a really solid mashup!!! Of A Heavy Abacus with Avicii's feel good track Sunshine, definitely a perfect one to start off the summer!

Apologies!!!!

Hey guys,
Just wanted to say sorry that I might not be posting as frequently as I usually do due to the fact that I'm going to be traveling for the next 20 hours! If I get the time I'll post the summer package that I've been working on for all of you or I'll get someone else to post it. So don't think that I've stopped posting completely if you don't see any posts!

All the best!

Free Download: PNAU vs. MGMT - Unite Kids (Tommy Trash Private Bootleg)

Because he reached 60,000 fans on Facebook not so long ago, Tommy Trash showed his gratitude by giving this away to his fans as a free download, turning the synths to match MGMT's 'Kids' mixed in with the original song of his remix of 'Unite Us'. Overall a great mashup so check it out!!

Adrian Lux - Burning (Ivan Gough & Feenixpawl Remix)

Although the duo may never reach the heights that 'In My Mind' created after it's release with this track, they have definitely made and incredible effort in doing so, feel good synths and huge bass just in time for the summer festival season to start. Check it out!

Alesso & Dirty South - City Of Dreams (Jakob Liedholm's Do Like You Edit)

Jakob Liedholm continues to impress the electronic world by remaking tracks that are anticipated to come out and making them his own, or putting his own spin on things. I think this has been his best job to date and his version of the somewhat guitar breakdown, blended with Eva Simons' hit vocal from 'I Don't Like You' are just pure energy. This definitely suffices till we wait for the original track to come out!

[Read More...]

RELEASE: Dyro - Paradox (Original Mix)

Judging by the fact that the preview of this track got a substantial amount of views on the blog, I would say that this is probably one of the most anticipated releases this month, and it's finally out! Dyro graces us with his melodic breaks and rolling basslines during the drop, such a banger! Enjoy!

John Dahlback feat. Urban Cone & Lucas Nord – Embrace Me (Dirty South Remix)

Dirty South has released his take on John Dahlback's 'Embrace Me', once again pulling on all the emotional strings that EDM has to offer, this is probably the biggest contender for this summer's progressive hit. Uplifting synths and the Dirty South sound present throughout the song, it's definitely a banger that is going to be around for a while. I still stand by my statement that this guy is EXTREMELY underrated and deserves more recognition. I'm sure this will more than suffice while we're still waiting for the anticipated collaboration with Alesso entitled 'City Of Dreams'

Monday Morning Motivation

I would like to start off by saying make sure you keep an eye on the blog after this post, as there is going to be a HUGE release later. As for now, here are a few tracks to keep you going until then!! Featuring Cedric Gervais and Michael Brun!

Charlie XCX - Nuclear Seasons (Michael Brun Remix) 
Similar to 'Rise' Michael Brun follows the same template yet makes it a completely different track, this progressive producer has definitely .got big things in store for him. This is for sure going on the top 10 releases of the month

Cedraic Gervais - Molly
Despite the somewhat funny song title and all the drug references within the song, you can't help but listen to this acid house influenced banger, such a great track so I thought i'd post it even if it's a bit old.

Lana Del Rey - Video Games (Adrian Lux & Blende Remix)

Lana Del Ray's Video Games has been remixed countless times and apart from the Jooris Voorn remix, none others were worth posting, well today I found another one which is an incredible remix by Swedish producer Adrian Lux and Blende. Having seen both live I can tell you that they are masters at what they do and I think it's great that Blende came into the track as you can definitely hear his influence make it more bouncy. Have a listen!

Apologies for the lack of DL link for this one as it's literally been impossible to find an HQ version of this track anywhere!! If I manage to do so I will update it with a link, for now here's the soundcloud one.

Recovery Sundays

More tracks for you with a chilled out vibe!! Just in time for you to get in recovery mode for the weekend to get ready for the week to come!

High For This (Monsieur Adi Remix) 
you can never go wrong with Ellie Goulding's vocals and Monsieur Adi puts a laidback spin on it with bass still being present, which can be a very hard thing to do. This is definitely one of my favorite tracks that i've posted on this segment so have a look!


Miguel Migs - So Far (Original Mix) 
Here's a little throwback for you from 2007/2008, great track and perfect for just laying around, the typical beach house song. I wish they made more songs like this nowadays!

[Read More...]

Sebastian Benett - Clinch (Original Mix)

Already garnering support from heavyweights such as Laidback Luke, Yves V and Antoine Clamaran this track is getting the recognition it deserves, with an interesting bass filled drop and some great synth works in the buildup, definitely a banger and a great release for this month! I'll definitely be looking for more of this rising producer as he releases more tracks as you can definitely see the great potential he has.

I only have the Beatport link so please go and support the track, as well as listen to the preview HERE

Definitely worth it!

Weekend Package (Chuckie Bootleg Giveaway Special)

Another special weekend package for all of you, Chuckie gave away 3 bootlegs for free yesterday that destroyed the crowd at EDC, a bunch of mashups blending classic tracks with the dirty dutch sound we all know him for! My favorite of the 3 would have to be the mashup of the classing 'King Of My Castle' with the heavy hitting Mutfakta, check it out! Although I have to say the Internet Friends mashup is ridiculously creative.
