Temple One feat. Neeve Kennedy- Love the Fear (Tom Fall Remix)

 

Love this track because it can fit into so many sets.  It features beautiful vocals followed by a hard electro sound. Electro, Trance, and Progressive sets can all use this beautiful remix by Tom Fall out of Finland, especially because at 128 bpm it can fit in with so many genres. 5 star track.

Michael Calfan- Resurrection (Axwell’s Recut Club Version)

This new track, remixed by Axwell, is already tearing up the charts, being number 1 on Beatport a week after its release. Love the buildup and the epic way the bass comes in.  Nothing less than I would expect from a member of Swedish House Mafia.  Expect to hear this rocking clubs at peak times for quite a while.

2 Epic Fall Tracks: DJ Newklear and Adele + Mischa Daniels and Sandro Monte

Here are two new tracks that take house music to epic levels.

The first is a mashup by DJ Newklear of Adele’s “Someone Like You.”  DJ Newklear hit pure gold in this mix, taking the beautiful vocals of Adele and making it into an uplifting progressive club cut.  The first time I heard it I was blown away and still get goosebumps when I listen to it. As I put in an earlier post, Newklear is one of the finest mashup and remix artists I have found, taking songs we all know and giving them an awesome, danceable sound.

This second track is called “Simple Man” by Mischa Daniels and Sandro Monte featuring J-Son, and this is the remixed version by Sandro Monte and Andres Cabrera.  Again it takes the original house version, which features excellent vocals from J-Son, and gives it an epic club quality.  Available for sale on Beatport.

Basto- Again and Again

I love uplifting progressive music and this new track from Belgian producer Basto is just that.  Released 10 days ago, it is already number 10 on the beatport top 100.  You can listen to the full version above or at http://www.soundcloud.com/bastomusic.  Available for sale on beatport.

Christian Davies Calling Love Mashup

Christian Davies of the U.K. does an excellent mashup of the Rihanna/Calvin Harris track “We Found Love” with “Calling” by Sebastian Ingrosso and Alesso. It gives We Found Love the epic feel associated with the Swedes.   Available for download at http://www.soundcloud.com/christiandavies.

Lady Gaga goes Progressive House

This track is a really good bootleg from Drasen from Miami.  It takes Lady Gaga’s song Judas and turns it into an epic sounding progressive house track by mixing it with R3hab and the track Pressure by Alesso and Alex Kenji.  I love the epic sound, and it could be a wickedly awesome surprise for dancers who are expecting to hear the same LG track they’ve heard 1000 times. Drasen’s soundcloud page is full of excellent bootlegs and edits of many big name DJ’s. Check it at http://www.soundcloud.com/drasen.
