Sebjak & Marcus Schossow – Liceu (Original Mix)

7260847

Steve Angello has definitely kept busy since the break up of the Swedish House Mafia and it seems that he has really amplified the focus on his label, Size Records, which just celebrated it’s tenth anniversary and 100 releases. For this record Sebjak and Marcus Schossow give us a groove driven, horn heavy house track. This track isn’t a huge hands in the air big room track, but it definitely has some punch behind it with beat driven tech vibes. Enjoy!

Wobble Wednesday: Haddaway – What Is Love (Clark Kent’s Festival Trap Remix) [Free Download]

Haddaway - what is love

Clark Kent has steadily been solidifying himself as one of my favorite remixers of the year. Whether it be a dubstep or a trap remix like the one in this post, you can expect an extremely melodic, fresh, and clean remix from the man who disguises himself as a producer to hide the fact that he is in fact Superman. This particular remix immediately catches my attention as, “What Is Love,” is hands down one of the most memorable songs of the 1990′s thanks to Doug and Steve Butabi, however you’ve never heard it like this before. The main melody remains the same so your head won’t help but bob to the side, but the rest of your body will get moving once the big bass beat, vocal samples, and trap inspired percussion section take over. This remix, like all of Clark Kent’s remixes, is simply amazing and can only be truly appreciated by clicking play below. So, what are you waiting for?

Steve Angello Launches New Record Label

Steve-Angello1-2048x20481-590x590

Steve Angello has just announced that he will be launching another label in addition to his very successful Size Records which he has been running for 10 years now. The new imprint will be a sub label called X and the first release will be a two track EP from Trent Cantrelle titled ‘Nice & Close’. These tracks stray from the big room sound that has come to dominate the sounds coming from his label and offer a more pumping house vibe. ‘Nice & Close’ was featured as the opening track on Steve’s recent Essential Mix and was one of my personal favorites of the mix. The release date for ‘Nice & Close’ is set for May 6th so be sure to check back! Enjoy!

artworks-000044223765-73hlpi-t500x500

After a massive last gig in Miami with the Swedish House Mafia Steve Angello launches right back into his solo career with a bang as he joins pete tong on BBC Radio 1 for the legendary Essential Mix. This essential mix perfectly showcases Steve’s individual style with a strong presence of heavy tech and electro house tracks as well as many of the more predictable Swedish House Mafia set staples. I was also very happy to see that a Swedish duo that we have been championing for some time now, Dimitri Vangelis & Wyman, have two tracks featured in the mix. Their upcoming collaboration with AN21 titled ‘Rebel’ as well as their remix of ‘People Of The Night’ were both featured in this mix and will be out on Size Records later this year. You can listen to the mix and check out the track listing below.

Event Review: Ultra Music Festival Weekend Two

575869_431831206911476_651525157_n

Celebrating it’s 15th year anniversary, Ultra Music Festival has grown over the years into one of the world’s most prestigious EDM events. Boasting an impressive 7 stages in the heart of downtown Miami and an eclectic lineup featuring everyone from the superstars like Tiesto to the underground kings like Richie Hawtin and Seth Troxler. With any event of this scale, there are bound to be some problems, but for the most part Ultra did a really good job providing festival goers with the best possible experience. Lines weren’t unbearable, traffic was manageable, water was free, there were plenty of bathrooms, and getting from stage to stage was relatively easy and quick. For the most part, crossover noise between stages was minimized despite a couple unavoidable exceptions. Overall it seemed that Ultra had listened to their fans and did everything they could to make this an incredible experience for all and I think they did an excellent job. Our team went to the second and final weekend. Check out what I had to say about the festival below.
