DHT vs. HRD - Heaven is a Place on Earth ft Edmée (HRD Mix)
White Label (Impart Productions) - Hard Dance Music

Download DHT vs. HRD - Heaven is a Place on Earth

If the name DHT sounds familiar, you have probably heard their 2005 hit “Listen to Your Heart,” which featured vocals by one half of this Belgian duo: Edmée Daenan. So does this track, and we don’t usually feature the Hard Dance genre, but this is too good to just let fly under the radar. It’s frenetic, it’s exciting, and if it doesn’t electrify the crowd when played, then you’ve got a real problem on your hands (and we’re not talking about the music). For those of you who prefer a more downtempo version, there is beautiful unplugged mix. Check it out now! Read the rest of this entry »

Nikolaz Nikz - Nightly City (Original Mix)
Saw Planet Records - Minimal House Music

Download Nikolaz Nikz - Nightly City

Off the aptly named About Melodies Vol. I, Ukrainian DJ Nikolaz Nikz gives us Nightly City, one of only two Minimal tracks on the release. Although the other track (”Flunker”) is not bad, Nightly City has a rhythm that is uniquely complicated for a song labeled Minimal which works very well with its eerie and simplistic melody. Even when the beat takes a break and leaves you with a synth-solo, Nikolaz manages to make the music throb just enough to create the illusion of some solid beats being there. Can’t imagine it? You won’t have to - hear it for yourself at Beatport. Read the rest of this entry »

DBN Music - Impressed is an Understatement!

Recently, we came across DBN in Chris Wren’s Fall Freshcast and to say we were impressed would be a severe understatement! Asteroidz by DBN featuring Madita was one of those tracks that resonated with us in a way that few tracks have even come close to this year! It’s got one of those infectious rhythms that can be played over and over again and every time it sounds better and better! This track will rock any dancefloor and turn it up side down!

So we thought, why not get in touch with DBN and find a little more about them…and to our surprise they even gave our audience a fresh new mix including a remix of their Asteroidz track we hadn’t heard before!

DJ Dalysovich - Love is Like a Violin (Red Eye Remix)
Red Session Records - Progressive House

Download DJ Dalysovich - Love is Like a Violin (Red Eye Remix)

After having given each of the three remixes plus the original mix a good few run-throughs, this mix appears to be just a slight cut above the others. Just slightly. The violins and synths in the Red Eye Remix makes for a nice balance of progressive and classical, and just a little more upbeat than the more classical-sounding original mix - overall very enjoyable with a rich sound.

One of the best DJs in the world returns with a killer track: “Coma.” Its mood is just slightly haunting, and different from the average progressive song. If you’re not careful, it could fly under the radar. This should not happen though, because the vocals and dark synths make this one of the more unique prog house offerings we’ve seen recently.

Deadmau5 - Alone With You (Original Mix)
Progressive House – Ultra

Canada’s newest star DJ Deadmau5 does it again with “Alone With You” off his new debut, Random Album Title: a track that sounds almost Booka Shade-esque (back in the Body Language / Mandarine Girl days). The blend of glorious harmonies and perpetual rhythms makes it perfect for both the house and the the dancefloors. Read the rest of this entry »
