Afrojack – 2013 Album Preview

Just this week, Afrojack released this quick little mi

ni mix as a preview to his upcoming 2013 album. The mix features some classic Afrojack bleeps, along with the newer, deeper sounds he began to develop throughout 2012. One of the tracks in this mini mix, however, seems to fall into the trap category as opposed to his usual electro house madness.

Matchbox Twenty – Put Your Hands Up (Swanky Tunes and Ludovika Remixes)

Put Your Hands Up

After a massive performance in Moscow for Swedish House Mafia’s One Last Tour, Swanky Tunes has refocused their attention to claiming the EDM charts. This new remix of Matchbox Twenty’s “Put Your Hands Up” just shows that this Russian trio truly gets it; the remix’s massive sound and flawless use of vocals pretty much guarantees that it’ll be a crowd favorite. With the imminent breakup of the Swedish House Mafia, it looks like Swanky Tunes is poised to take over as the next big EDM trio.

Joining Swanky Tunes is the young Dutch producer Ludovika, who appears to be catching a lot of attention from within the EDM community – performing alongside DJs such as Afrojack, Steve Angello, and Deadmau5. His Day & Night remixes of the track prove that he’s got a great feel for the music too; both remixes are very polished, fun takes on the track, alternating between smooth, progressive house and hard-hitting electro bass. We’ve uploaded the Swanky Tunes remix below, but make sure you check out the whole collection on Beatport. Enjoy!

Who doesn’t have a few songs in their library where they whip out their brand new air guitar and have a little jam session? This is exactly what was on Aforjack’s mind except with a mixer instead. Twisting knobs left and right and cranking up and down all different kinds of effects to make it right. His track is nothing unexpected, he goes all over the place like usual with his sounds, creating a cluster of ear porn. This track is set for release through Wall Recordings sometime in the near future but has not locked in an official date. “Air Guitar” was first heard on BBC Radio over the weekend from Wall Recordings in which he is very excited about.
