Headhunterz Ft. Krewella – United Kids Of The World (Tony Senghore & Sebjak Remix) [Latin House]

9204567

Sebjak and Tony Senghore bring a little Latin/Caribbean funk with their remix of “United Kids of The World” It starts off a little slow but, I promise it gets better. The two producers dusted off their Moombah/Reggaeton sound library and put it to good use on this one — a refreshing break from the Big Room Remix mediocracy out there.

Mixmash Pool Party @ WMC (Event) [Review]

MIxmash Pool Party Pic
What a perfectly sunny and breezy day in Miami for sold out Mixmash Pool Party. People were greeted at the National Hotel by event staff who were willing to help and comprehend the attendees needs. The convenient and excellent layout permitted all fans and party goers a chance to enjoy the party in a unique way. Fans ranging from Melbourne, Australia to New York, NY made their way to Miami and enjoyed this party. This turned out to be one of the best pool parties of all WMC. What made it such an interesting night was not only Laidback Luke hosting the event but the unexpected surprise visits by Steve Aoki, Dimitry Vegas & Like Mike, Sander Van Doorn and Carnage. Overall exceeded expectations in terms of atmosphere, music, people and logistics.

Wildstylez & Noisecontroller – Cats, Jets and Breaks [Hardstyle]

Starts off innocently enough, with strings and a nice smooth pad to start things off but, quickly drops into a nice Hardstyle bass line. What I personally really enjoyed about this track is the transition at 2:05, Noisecontrollers and Wildstylez did a pretty good job on this track. The sense of grandeur with the smooth pads and strings with the Hard and Bassy kicks create a “Festival level” type Hardstyle tune.

“Wildstylez & Noisecontroller – Cats, Jets and Breaks” is set to release on April 11th, 2014 on Lose Control Music.

Avicii is out of Gallbladder & Appendix Removal Surgery

avicii-press-photo-alex-wessely-650-430

As many of you already know, Avicii had to get surgery this weekend and isn’t playing at Ultra. Initially, it was known that he had abdominal pain caused by his gallbladder but, once arriving at the hospital it was discovered that on top of a “sick” gallbladder as Avicii put it — he also had a ruptured appendix. Both procedures are not too intensive. Now, he is out of surgery and in recovery. He should be okay and ready to continue his US tour within a week or so (According to WebMD).

Review: D-Block & S-te-Fan & Isaac Ft. Chris Madin – Alive [Single]

Alive DBSTF DJ ISAAC Chris Madin

Featured on Corillo Commute Episode #12

Drop:
No watered down kicks here! DBSTF and Isaac bring a nice Hardstyle kick that really makes the drop pretty awesome. The heavy kick is pretty well contrasted with an upbeat melody and vocals which create a ‘feel good’ vibe to it.

Vocals:
Chris Madin’s vocal combined with the calm and almost Progressive House styled intro to create a great feel. I have a feeling that this track may become a summer anthem this year.

Originality:
It’s not watered down Hardstyle and it’s not a woodblock Big Room track so we give it a thumbs up in this category.

Sound Quality:
The vocals, the melody and the kick on this track all sound great. Nothing is out of place and it’s pretty balanced. As previously stated, the heavy kick is contrasted well by other aspects of the song which really balance it out. It’s a good track to introduce n00bs to; its not too Hard for a House fan but, Progressive enough to where someone isn’t completely alienated by the track.

Worth The Buy:
Yes! Especially since Hardstyle is on the rise, it’s great track to ease your way into the genre. Purchase it on iTunes today!

4/5 Stars
