Discopolis – Falling (Committed To Sparkle Motion) (Axwell Radio Edit)

Axwell - techibeats

The highly anticipated release of Axwell’s Radio Edit of “Falling (Committed to Sparkle Motion)” is finally here for all of our listening pleasures. Much different from the bigroom Dubvision remix of the track earlier released on Axtone and heard in the Mafia’s sets, Axwell goes with the feel of the original track by the 4-piece electronic band, Discopolis, from Edinburgh. The mix of the live instrumentation with Axwell’s electronic production makes for the perfect electronic-alternative combination. It’s amazing to see Axwell branch out so far from his typical club sound where he has been since he first made it as a DJ/Producer, yet it speaks wonders for his musicianship as this song blatantly shows his versatility as a producer. His latest solo ventures as well as the quality productions that have been coming off of his power house label are just a taste of what is to come. Enjoy!

Discopolis – Falling (Committed To Sparkle Motion) (Axwell Radio Edit) [Official Music Video]

Getting ready for it’s release next Monday, the official music video of Axwell’s Radio Edit of “Falling” by Discopolis has been released. As a multi-genre music lover myself, I fell in love with this song the second I heard it. The vibes and musical composition of “Falling” really hit it off for me, giving off a similar feeling to the electronic-alternative style of M83. It’s great to see that Axwell is giving house music a rest and executing production in this realm flawlessly. I hope some of his fans can make this move as well and branch out to some different music that is nothing but amazing. Enjoy!

Discopolis – Falling (Committed To Sparkle Motion) [Axwell Radio Edit] [Preview]

Following the bigroom Dubvision remix of Discopolis’s ‘Falling (Committed To Sparkle Motion)’ on Axtone, the label boss and former mafia man Axwell takes his crack at the track. To much surprise the track is in a much different vein than the big room, stadium anthems that have come to define the producer’s recent work. This edit is a euphoric track but definitely not a club track, with a much slower tempo Axwell shows a side that is very different and honestly very refreshing. It is exciting to see how the three Swedish House Mafia members will begin to branch out after the break up of the group, and it will be interesting to see what else Axwell has in store for the future.

Dyro has uploaded an exclusive preview to his remix of “Sunrise.” The preview features the popular words from the original, and a minor transformation into a big room progressive track. While the track is enjoyable and well produced, it’s lacking originality. That being said only two and a half minutes is showcased, so unfortunately we’ll have to wait until May 12th for the full track, releasing off Casablanca. Which version do you Techi readers prefer?

It’s a big couple weeks for Axtone Records, especially from the release of “Wakanda,” so why not keep the momentum with another banging track, “Rasuptin?” Russian duet, Hard Rock Sofa, have steered away from anthem house like most do in March, and have brought you a progressive track that will make your feet raw from dancing. Fun fact for you all, Rasputin is a legitimate historical figure in Russia, so thank you Hard Rock for educating and giving us good music. The track will be released March 11th off Beatport, and March 25th off iTunes and all other stores. Stay tuned for this one! Cheers!

Thomas Gold Exclusive

It is no secret that Berlin’s Thomas Gold is taking over modern dance music. Fortunately, Techibeats has the inside scoop on what Gold is up to the next few months. With a new track called “MIAO” that will be released off Calvin Harris’ Fly Eye Records December 25th and an upcoming tour hitting the states, it’s safe to say that 2013 will be filled with Gold. Pun intended. Since his first release in 2006, Gold has been able to show his audience amazing diversity through his music and shows. Yet, it’s been a while since he’s been able to make it to the states. Not to worry. The official Fanfare World Tour kicks off in Hollywood for New Years and continues to El Paso, San Francisco, D.C. and many more.

However, one show that fans should keep their eye on is Roseland in New York. Who could forget Gold’s show at Governor’s Beach, which even he says is one of his best shows. Drumline anyone? Genius. It’s been a while since Gold has played in the city that holds a special place in his heart, so I guarantee Roseland Ballroom will undoubtedly be one of the best shows in 2013. Tickets are on sale TODAY!
