Henrik B, Niklas Gustavsson & Peter Johansson – Echoes (Original Mix)

henrik b - techi

The Scandinavian house legend, Henrik B, has teamed up with the duo, Niklas Gustavsson & Peter Johansson, to produce “Echoes,” the latest installment on Avicii’s record labelLe7els. As is customary from anything associated with Avicii, “Echoes” has nothing but good vibes to offer as insanely catchy synthesizer melodies, wondrous vocal harmonies, and an upbeat feel over take the song. Henrik B was supposedly going to be one of the original members of Swedish House Mafia and for good reason too as his signature house imprint can be heard all over this euphoric summer tune. Enjoy!

16 Bit Lolitas – Chant A Tune / Deep Space Girls (Remixes)

16bit

Crossed between a few groovy and progressive chords with melodies consisting of a deep and dreamy sound, the original work of 16 Bit Lolitas has evolved into a more complex yet smooth rework that resembles the diverse sound of everything from FC Kahuna to Booka Shade. It is two remixes mastered by Jeremy Olander and DAVI that I already have on repeat and fans of a more mature and original sound can check out on 16 Bit Lolitas’ label Bits & Pieces today! Listen below

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!

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!

Wobble Wednesday: Disclosure – You & Me feat. Eliza Doolittle (Baauer Remix) [Preview]

baauer remix - techi

When I saw that Baauer had remixed Disclosure and Eliza Doolittle’s “You & Me” I couldn’t help but assume that it would be a typical trap remix. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that Baauer is incredibly versatile and fully capable of surprising his now huge fan base. He sped up the tempo, raised Eliza Doolittle’s voice even higher, and completely altered the entire feel of “You & Me” with the beat, while retaining its most quintessential components. The fact that Baauer is branching out from his typical trap sound which brought him to fame speaks wonders about his future and his willingness to experiment with contemporary sounds. Take a listen to the preview below and make sure to pick up the official copy when it drops on May 21st. Enjoy!

Krewella – Alive (Hardwell Remix)

hardwell - techi

The Chicago-based trio, Krewella, has been making quite an impact on the dance world this year with their unique blend of gorgeous vocals courtesy of Jahan and Yasmine Yousaf with the Rainman’s dubstep, electro house, and drum n’ bass productions. Their single, “Alive,” has hit the top of Billboard’s Dance/Mix Show Chart and Hardwell, the #6 DJ in the world, wanted to keep the momentum of the song alive with his own rendition of the hit. Just the fact that Krewella is catching the attention of heavy hitters such as Hardwell speaks wonders for their quickly rising career over the past year. The remix features Jahan and Yasmine’s easily distinguishable vocals and lyrics, but the familiar song quickly takes a turn towards the signature dutch sound that brought Hardwell to prominence. Euphoric synthesizer chords, stabbing Hardwell synth leads, and a fat bass beat accompany the massive build-up which takes the energy of this song to a new level. Fans of both Hardwell and Krewella will absolutely lose it when they listen to this song as it takes the best from both artists and mashes them both together into a soon to be huge festival banger. If you don’t believe me, then take a listen for yourself and let us know what you guys think. Enjoy!
