One of my favorite songs of the summer just got a little funkier. Let’s use more Earth, Wind, and Fire in house music =)
First off is my favorite remix from British DJ, Ghosts of Venice. He added the most funk to the track, making this a big room club banger.

The next mix is from the mega prolific Chris Lake. This remix doesn’t stray far from the original, which is a good thing, but he has added his flair nonetheless.

Ramon Tapia produced a more soulful version that is perfect for enjoying the last remaining sunny days of summer (is summer already over, I don’t event know?).

This brand new video from Hervé reminds me of the greatness that was his Under The Sun mix. Together is Hervés take on the 1991 song, Come Together by Primal Scream. Funky.
We already posted this track a couple days ago and I have to admit, the vocal version threw me off a little and I didn’t give it a chance. Now that this teaser came out and I gave it another listen, I’ve seen the error of my ways. This is an absolute anthem!
Axwell has been at the top of house music for a while now. Every song he touches is a hit. Only this song can pull off a music video with a modern day Jesus.
Ultra Records just put out a very nice promo video for Robbie Rivera today. This is one of the awesome tracks off Robbie Rivera’s last album, Closer to the Sun. The gray haired DJ knows how to get funky. Make sure to check a lot of the Robbie Rivera remixes of his own tracks on that album. Classy and crazy at the same time.
This is the second Caspa / Hudson collabo we’ve posted and the high expectations have been met. Caspa really knows how to make dubstep sound smooth. Thanks to Enko for the find.
Check out some footage from one of Sidney’s sets earlier this month. Huge opening to the video with Booka Shade vs MANDY’s Body Language. You know the audience is into it when they’re singing the melody of a song, no not singing the words, but singing a melody. There are plenty of gems in there including Sidney’s latest hits, Panorama and Punkass.
Will.i.am has become a controversial figure in electronic dance music lately. I can’t think of another pop star who has been invited to play at all the biggest electronic music venues like Will.i.am. I wasn’t at EDC in Los Angeles this year but I heard complaints that Will.i.am ruined the show by mixing in some non electronic music and his own poppy Black Eyed Peas tracks.
At the same time I see something positive in what Will.i.am is doing. I respect him for having the versatility to enter the dance music scene. Coming from a pure hip-hop background that is a big deal. At the end of the day music is music and people who are willing to explore new genres to develop their sound and creativity deserve some praise. There are definitely two sides to the coin. Some people may cringe when Lil Jon jumps on stage, but others might derive some satisfaction from the idea that house music is reaching a new audience.
Check out Will.i.am at Noxx Antwerp, one of the biggest clubs in Belgium.
We need to get some polling functionality on DA. I’d be curious to see what people choose:
1) I wish Will.i.am would leave house music alone
2) I’m glad that Will.i.am is playing house music… but I still wouldn’t see him play
3) I love Will.i.am – I want to see him Boom Boom Now!
We’d like to introduce you to Jovicii (A.K.A. John Dahlback and Avicii). Two of the heaviest hitters in progressive house combine fabulously for this major release. This is also the first release on John Dahlback’s new record label, Mutants.

Gregor Salto & DJ Gregory show off their very well-rounded style in this deliciously funky tribal rhythm house tune. Excellent usage of natural sounding percussion. It seems like this track was produced in the jungle… in a good way.
