Doorly – The Boom Boom Room EP 2 [House]
Doorly takes us back to a different time, with something new.
His new EP “The Boom Boom Room 2” pays homage to the 90’s house movement. This EP is guaranteed to have you movin’ and groovin’ like its 199-something. Recently EDM has shied away from this style, so its refreshing to hear an old school sound in 2013.
The EP is set to release on October 30th, 2013 on Toolroom Records.
Staff Pick: “Can’t Stop”
deadmau5 – Suckfest9001 [OUT NOW]
After a long wait, deadmau5 is releasing some new official stuff. Over the past few months, Toronto-based producer, deadmau5 has been dropping sneak peaks of songs “in-progress”, but has finally put some of these together into a new album he is planning on releasing on his label mau5trap featuring other signed producers like Heat Maxwell, BSOD and others.
“Suckfest9001” is classic deadmau5 track with great analog sounds (yes he uses analog). Its nice to listen to some new deadmau5

Tiësto Ft. Disco Fries – iTrance (Original Mix) [Freebie]
Fairfax, VA – After joking about making trance, Tiesto has finally done it in collaboration with the Disco Fries.
Tiesto bet his fans if he became DJMag’s #1 DJ of the year, he’d release a trance tune for old time’s sake. The results of the voting came in and the #1 spot was grabbed by fellow Dutch DJ, Hardwell. Despite this, Tiesto still released the track as a “Thank You” to all those fans who voted anyways.
Flux Pavilion & Dillon Francis – I’m The One (Original Mix) [Moombahton]
Fairfax, VA – Being from the Washington, DC metro area, the birthplace of moombahton, I can’t help to get excited for new Moombah- tracks and Dillon’s new collab is no exception.
“I’m The One” is a collaboration between Dubstep heavyweight, Flux Pavilion, and Moombahton Embassador Dillon “Where’s my Dad?” Francis. What makes this collaboration great, besides the fact that it is Moombah, is that both producers’ styles aren’t overpowered by one another. Listening to the track you can hear some Flux and some Dillon (classic Dillon by the way) in there which is nice.
Wondering why it sounds like “Classic Dillon Francis”? Well it was made over a year ago, but is finally being released on Flux’s upcoming EP.
DVBBS & Borgoreous – Tsunami vs Stampede: Can you tell the difference?
Fairfax, VA – Two different tracks, two different record labels — same sounds though. Can you tell the difference between Tsunami and Stampede? Or does “Stampede” sound like Version 2.0 of Tsunami? Let us know below.

Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike vs DVBBS & Borgeous – Stampede (Preview)
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)
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.
Icarus – Steal The Sun EP (OWSLA) [Electronic]: Full Stream
Fairfax, VA – OWSLA is known for pumping out stuff that is unique, different and great to listen to. Icarus’ EP, “Steal The Sun” is no exception with a variety of styles that most electronic music aficionados will enjoy. The EP consists of 4 tracks ranging from deep full sounds to upbeat dance-able songs — a well balanced production in my opinion. If you wish to download the EP, which is available exclusively on OWSLA’s “The Nest” membership program, get it here.
Check it out below and let us know what you think.
We will have a full review up soon.
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.
