Event Preview: Escape Minneapolis

Untitled

This Memorial Day Weekend, Minneapolis will be seeing a couple of new faces come to town.  Our friends over at Sound In Motion (www.facebook.com/simshows) have planed a two-night festival-like experience held in downtown Minneapolis at Epic Nightclub. The event is called Escape. The first night of Escape will be on Thursday May 23rd and Minneapolis will FINALLY be graced with the presence of Dutch sensation Hardwell with opening support from Revealed Records label mate and friend Dyro, along with some local support. Escape will be both Hardwell and Dyro’s first time ever playing in Minneapolis so there is much anticipation building around the night.  The following evening, Friday May 24th Benny Benassi will be headlining Escape with opening support yet to be announced.  Benassi has been absent from Minneapolis since 2009.  With so much hype over the return of Benassi and the first time for Hardwell and Dyro in Minneapolis this two-night event is destined for greatness. We will have a camera crew at both nights of this event, so come find us! You can pick up tickets here!

We Are Nuts! – Friends (Go Freek Remix) [Preview]

artworks-000047993826-auxq99-crop

With the over-saturation in electronic music today that’s being talked about by nearly all the major DJs in the industry, it must be so difficult to find music that doesn’t sound like everyone else. Well let me, present to you Go Freek’s remix of “Friends”. I have to admit, these guys completely caught me by surprise with this drop. Sorry Steve Angello, but I guess you were wrong about music lacking creativity nowadays. Don’t just take my word for it though. Let this song speak for itself.

Parachute – Hearts Go Crazy (Myndset Remix) [Free Download]

I feel like I’ve been flashed back to a future 1990s. Myndset’s remix of Parachute’s “Hearts Go Crazy” is a blast from the past with its melodies and synthesizers that make me feel like I’m floating in a hot air balloon. With vocals well complimented by a house kit and some edgy pads, Myndset kills this remix. I would expect nothing less from a techibeats artist. Enjoy the free download as courtesy of the man behind the mask.

Clockwork & Felix Cartal feat. Madame Buttons – The Fire (Original Mix)

the fireTwo of my favorite producers of all time have finally come together for a collaboration! Along with Madame Buttons on the vocals, Clockwork and Felix Cartal lend their amazing electro house skills to create “The Fire”, out now through Dim Mak Records. The track begins with a deep beat, and then adds in a low bassline with fun synths. Madame Buttons comes in shortly after, signing a beautiful song to compliment the upbeat dance feel. Then in the classic style of gnarly electro, her voice fades as the track builds and breaks into a killer drop that put a huge smile on my face. Collaborations are great for the fact that two or more producers can showcase their talents in one vessel, however I think that many times one producer’s sound dominates the creation. “The Fire” is unique for the opposite reason; Clockwork and Felix Cartal have seamlessly melded their talents into one, cohesive sound that balances their musical personalities. Listen for yourself, you do NOT want to be left out of “The Fire”.

Monkey Safari – Got The Jack [Preview]

avatars-000005034349-4psaop-crop

The driving bass line on this track has got me grooving way too hard this morning. These shuffled beats and 90s styled drum fills, paired with an irresistible funk has got me in such a trance I nearly forgot my own name. Monkey Safari has created a house banger with just the right amount of flair and groove to make the rest of my day complete. Not even really knowing the lyrics won’t stop me from humming this tune well into the night time. Too bad this is only a preview. We will keep you guys posted on a release date though!

One thing I can say is from song 1 to song 26, you are in for quite the treat and can find this impeccable track list after the jump.

Tiesto – Take Me feat. Kyler England (Original Mix)

Tiesto - Take Me

What really makes Tiesto such a spectacular artist is his ability to reinvent himself over and over again to not only fit the times, but to define them. His newest single off of his highly anticipated Tiesto’s Club Life Vol. 3: Stockholm, “Take Me,” features Kyler England from the indie rock band The Rescues. This track has that signature Tiesto big room sound which is epic beyond proportion when coupled with Ms. England’s amazing vocals. To state the track is catchy is an understatement, yet it is not cheesy by any means as Tiesto keeps us on our toes with his fantastic synthesized melodies, massively bass driven beats, and a plethora of new electronica sounds which give the single the distinction it deserves. Take a listen below to the latest direction Tiesto is embarking on and stay tuned for the release of Tiesto’s Club Life Vol. 3: Stockholm! It’s going to be one for the books.

Wobble Wednesday: Martin Solveig & The Cataracs feat. Kyle – Hey Now (Carnage Remix) [Preview]

martin solveig - techiMartin Solveig & The Catarac’s newest pop anthem, “Hey Now” has received the good ol’ remix treatment by none other then Carnage. Straying away from the “festival trap” sound that brought him to glory, Carnage has taken a new musical direction which can be heard in the progressive house roots of the remix, yet he still manages to drop the bass. And a lot of it too. The foreign influences upon the musical intricacies of the drop turn a once incredibly poppy song into a bouncy and bass driven rager. The official release date for this song has yet to be announced, but stay tuned and get familiar with the reinvented Carnage as he’s pumping out new and different material constantly. Enjoy!
