Katy Perry – Roar (dBerrie ‘Plurred Out’ Remix) (Preview)
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.
Let us know what you think.
Vicetone vs. Popeska Ft. Luciana – The New Kings (Preview) [Progressive]
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.
Out on Beatport, October 14th, 2013.
