Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike vs DVBBS & Borgeous – Stampede (Preview)

Audio

Stampede DVBBS Dimetri Like Mike

Fairfax, VA – Let us begin by saying, if you like DVBBS’ “Tsunami” you’ll love this track — which isn’t necessarily a good thing either.

EDM has exploded in the last few years, due mostly to it’s expansion in the U.S. market. This has led to much of “the same thing” — producers follow trends too tightly. “Stampede” is a great example of that. There is no doubt denying “Tsunami” is a great track that makes festivals, in a somewhat literal sense, go “boom” and “Stampede” follows that trend too — a little too closely though. It’ll definitely be a big hit at shows and festivals for the remainder of the year, but some fans may confuse it for a mash-up or an edit of “Tsunami”

For a song with so much talent involved, I think this track fell a little bit short of what was expected. Still ts a great track to rage to, but it lacks originality considering it sounds like “Tsunami” and its partially produced by the same guys.

We won’t be writing a review of this single.

Dannic & Sick Individuals – Blueprint (Preview)

Audio

Fairfax, VA – Triple dutch action on this one, Dannic and duo, Sick Individuals (all dutch), come together to bring us their new single “Blueprint”

“Blueprint” is a mix of Progressive House-like pads with synth sounds usually associated with Dutch House, which doesn’t come as a surprise. What really stands out about this collaboration is the percussion, it really tops of the song as a whole pretty well.

The official release date is October 28th, 2013 via Revealed Recordings.

Our full review of the single will be up soon.

Katy Perry – Roar (dBerrie ‘Plurred Out’ Remix) (Preview)

Katy Perry - Roar (dBerrie 'Plurred Out' Remix)

Fairfax, VA – Yesterday, dBerrie, posted a photo of himself near a bus stop with the caption “Just finished a new remix of a pretty big artist, guess who??”, with a Katy Perry ad in the background. So this remix wasn’t too much of surprise, but what was a surprise was the remix’s feel — it wasn’t too ‘mainstream’

What do I mean by mainstream? Well, its not cheaply put together. Although those who just hate radio hits, will not perceive this remix as good since Katy Perry is all over the radio, but dBerrie’s “Plurred Out” remix is pretty good — no matter what side of the Mainstream vs Non-Mainstream debate you’re on. Still no word on the official release date, but the preview is below.

Vicetone vs. Popeska Ft. Luciana – The New Kings (Preview) [Progressive]

Audio

Vicetone vs. Popeska - The New Kings ft. Luciana

Fairfax, VA – It comes as no surprise that Vicetone has blown up dramatically in a relatively short amount of time and it’s due to their ability to pump out hits. Their new single is no exception, “The New Kings” featuring Popeska and vocals by Luciana, a talented British vocalist which you’ve probably heard on Tiesto’s Club Life Vol 2.

Vicetone’s progressive house track has a good balance of vocals, melodies and buildups as well as drops which make it an overall great track. The feel of the track is overwhelmingly upbeat and positive, which in dance music, is a great thing. Check out the snippet below and let us know what you think.

501 - Vulture (Protohype Remix)

Fairfax, VA – After his collab with 12th Planet, Protohype, releases his remix of 501’s “Venture”

This remix begins with little 808 action, which Protohype is known for as a successful trap music producer, then bleeds and drops into a synth and pad filled melody followed by a build up into the “meat and potatoes” of the track, Bass and lots of it.

Protohype’s remix is now available on Beatport.

Incona Pop All Night DBerrie Remix

Fairfax, VA – Another Icona Pop remix you say? Well this remix dBerrie brings us isn’t bad at all.

The New Yorker, dBerrie’s, remix isn’t just taking two-three seconds of the original and slapping EDM-stuff on it and calling it a remix — it actually accompanies the vocals really well. It’ll make you sad that Fall is here because you’ll want to jam out to this remix as you cruise with your friends with the top down. This remix will surely be played at various mini-festivals and mega-shows this fall.

The full track will be released out on Big Beat Records on October 8, 2013. Meanwhile, you can stream the preview below.

Jack U makes its debut in San Diego

Fairfax, VA – This past weekend, electronic music power houses, Diplo and Skrillex, joined forces for the first time as Jack U at the Mad Decent Block Party 2013 in San Diego, California.

Jack U was announced a few months ago by Diplo as a duo between himself and Skrillex. The pairing of two big producers isn’t a new thing for the two; Diplo with Jillionaire as Major Lazer and Skrillex with Boys Noize as Dog Blood. These duos have formed to create unique music and to create a new sound for those fans who have grown tired of “the same thing” over and over again.

The duo also dropped a few new tracks during their set at MBP13 San Diego, all of which so far have no I.D. Take a listen and let us know what you think.
