Pick Of The Week: Minson- She Was Made In Heaven

 

 

Minson is a producer from South Korea who makes some great deep progressive house music.  Previously this year he released “Jeju Island” and has followed it up this time with “She Was Made in Heaven.”  Perfect music for having a drink and chilling out to as the Sun goes down.  Look for more from this producer and the Korean label Mascota Recordings.

Sander Van Doorn and Mayaeni- Nothing Inside

 

Dutchman Sander Van Doorn drops beautiful progressive house with great vocals. Definitely has that epic summer sundown/sunrise feel to it.

B Jinx and John Lockley- Getto Groovin’ (Club Vibes)

New track from B Jinx and Jon Lockley. Nice track with a kind of progressive tech house feel to it. Well done. Available exclusively on Juno. Coming soon to Beatport

Yohann Mills- Satisfied (David Jones Vs. 7Tales Remix

I don’t like promoting one artist too much, but I was very impressed how David Jones, who mostly makes house and bouncy tracks, made an epic progressive track here. Big Ups!

And We’re Back

Alright folks the internet is fixed! Lets hope forever. Here are a couple of youtube videos that I came across that I particularly liked.

This first one is Skrillex being interviewed after winning multiple Grammy’s.  I dig a lot of Skrillex’s music, but I love how in the interview he comes across as just being a chill dude.  Big congrats to him, and although I like the other artists a lot, they have more traditional progressive house tracks, versus Skrillex is obviously much different. Wonderful to see many types of Dance music being represented.

This second one is from Avicii’s recent college tour.  I’m a big fan and this is a cool compilation video.

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.
