Calvin Harris & Ellie Goulding – Need Your Love (Nicky Romero Remix) [Preview]

March 3, 2013 By Leave a Comment

Nicky+Romero

Nicky Romero has just given the world a fresh remix he’s done of Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding’s “Need Your Love.” The best part about March may be March Madness for some, but for music lovers of EDM it’s the approach of the annual Winter Music Conference and Ultra solely because of all the tracks that are released in the process before. Romero has taken the same idea from the original track, using the main synth arpeggio approach, but has made it bigger and more of an anthem song. The release will be off Columbia Records, but stay tuned for a date. Enjoy!

For those who watched we heard as Major Lazer had their singles, “Get Free” and “Jah No Partial” ringing in the background between the action packed events.

December 15, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Here we

have the most recent installment of Avicii’s new podcast. The best part about tuning into these is the new music; the artists all have it, and we all want it. The set starts with Syn Cole’s remix of “We Are The Lucky Ones” and continues into a new vocal mix of Avicii and Nicky Romero’s “Nicktim.” My personal favorite is Darwin and Backwall’s remix of “Space 1010,” which adds perfect extra grunge to the set. Avicii also uses the podcast as a time to do a quick update of what he’s up to, which sounds like a lot of studio time. So look forward to a new year of tunes Avicii lovers and grab a free download below!

Wobble Wednesday: Calvin Harris – Sweet Nothing ft. Florence Welch (Diplo & Grandtheft Remix)

November 28, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Diplo has done it yet again; this time remixing Calvin Harris’ massive tune, “Sweet Nothing”, alongside fellow producer, Grandtheft. Diplo’s versatile production style allows him to draw influences from a wide range of genres, rarely delivering anything subpar. Their take on “Sweet Nothing” is a perfect trap remix featuring the original track’s synth progression – both strengthened and laced on top of a slower, bass-heavy beat. This track is sure to be a staple in countless sets as we approach the winter festival season. Turn up the bass and enjoy!

Example & Dillon Francis – Someone To Die For

November 19, 2012 By Leave a Comment

It’s been interesting to watch as many of the top EDM musicians collaborate with each other and similar artists; following Example’s collaboration with Calvin Harris for “We’ll Be Coming Back”, his album The Evolution of Man, which was released today in the UK, features collaborations with other prominent producers such as Laidback Luke, Hardwell, and Flux Pavilion. This track, “Someone To Die For”, is a great collaboration with the famous Dillon Francis; it’s definitely poppier and more restrained than Dillon’s usual offerings, but it’s a very well-produced, enjoyable track. Unfortunately Example’s new album hasn’t been released in the States yet, but we’ll let you know when it does – for now take a listen to the stream below.
