Here we have another single released on Tiesto’s Dance (Red) Save Lives compilation that benefits the Global Fund’s fight against AIDS. The track we are featuring today is Skidka’s remix of Tiesto & Swanky Tunes’ massive track, “Make Some Noise”. The track begins with Ben McInerney’s mezmerising vocals laced on top of a familiar ‘Kidsos’-sounding key progression. The track quickly picks up shortly after one minute in and drops into a distorted-bass-heavy drop that will be sure to get your night started right.

Tiesto – Dance (RED) Save Lives

In honor of World AIDS day on December 1st, Tiesto has gathered together the industry’s biggest names in a album compilation consisting of the top tracks in the 2011-2012 season. Names like Calvin Harris, Tim Berg, Baauer, Dada Life, Swanky Tunes, Hardwell, Chuckie, and much more have all snagged a spot on this special album. Tiesto quotes:

“When I went to Africa in 2006, I was struck by the devestating effect of AIDS. Now the world has an incredible chance to make sure that babies are born HIV free by 2015, and the dance community is going to make a lot of noise to help make this happen.”

All purchases and proceeds will be going directly to the Global Fund to fight AIDS, so get to purchasing! Below is the first track of the album, “Pride (In the Name of Love)”, a collaboration of U2 and Tiesto.. and quite frankly, Tiesto couldn’t have kicked the album off with a better track.

I Am Benga: Red Bull Documentary

Just weeks after we watched Red Bull Stratos, in which Felix Baumgartner performed a world breaking supersonic free fall from space, the documentary specialists at Red Bull have announced their newest project. Unlike their normal fast paced action packed footage, Red Bull will be capturing a thrill seeking adventure of it’s own kind, as they plan to get inside the mind of the bass driven legend, Benga. This six part series will follow and expose Benga’s massive year of 2012, in which he started his own record label (Benga Beats), formed his own live show on BBC Radio 1, and the year where he “removed himself from the dubstep genre”. Check the trailer out for yourself and prepare for an inside access of one of the most talented producers in the world.

This is what Benga has to say about the series himself:

“I’m incredibly excited about the series. I can’t wait to show everyone the amazing things I’ve been part of! There’s a great buzz around the show and everyone will get to see what’s next for me!”

Wobble Wednesday: Big Gigantic – Let’s Go! (Original Mix) [Free Download]

For those who think EDM takes no real musical talent, Big Gigantic must not be a name you’ve heard of. In fact one half of this Boulder, Colorado duo consisting of Dominic Lali & Jeremy Salki, actually has his Masters Degree from the Manhattan School of Music. Lali would be the one with the degree and the one putting his heart and soul into the saxophone while simultaneously being the DJ of the duo. Salki, is an experienced drum and percussion player who adds a heavier energy to their live performance and a backbeat that is untouchable. Together, Big Gigantic have produced banger after banger proving that they can incorporate their extreme musical talent with electronic music to create a distinct sound that can’t be matched. This time is no different as they grace our ears with another musical masterpiece, entitled “Let’s Go”. This song has the notorious Big Gigantic build up, that  leads into a one of a kind drop with a smooth flowing saxophone to take you on soulful journey. To make it even better, this song is available for free download through Big Gigantic’s SoundCloud featured below.
