R3hab has an XS and Surrender remix series going, out of respect for the two places he performs when in the city of Sin. Just in case you weren’t able to check our facebook page yesterday – R3hab released his “Im In The House” remix for free on his soundcloud yesterday. Pretty good Christmas present huh? Look for more of the same chainsaw and craziness that has become the standard in all of Fadil’s stuff, look for this to be dropped at your next R3hab event – he is among the best performers we have ever seen.
Zedd has been cooking up some more fire for us in his laboratories ever since the release of his sexy single “Stars Come Out.” “Slam The Door” features some great piano riffs and a nice melodic build up; everything seems normal until the drop hits. Did it drop you on your ass? Was this video one hell of a tease? Will we be all over this for you on January 3rd when it releases on Skrillex’s label OWLSA? Your answer should have been ‘yes’ to all three of these questions. We don’t know how exactly to describe the drop in words – so we are just going to take a page out of R3hab’s book and call it ‘chainsaw madness.’ However, this time around the chainsaw comes fully equipped with a jet engine – enough power to crush the eardrums of every person inside of a stadium.
If you don’t like bikini clad women (some aren’t even wearing bikinis) please do not click play. That being said – looks like Kazantip is one hell of a party (2012′s Kazantip will take place from July 20th – August 26th). What could be better than a huge music festival fully equipped with world famous DJs and a beach (it’s on the edge of the Black Sea)? The intro is mixed by Swanky Tunes and Hard Rock Sofa who happen to be the premier Russians in the house music scene today. Do you think an astronaut take over of this festival is in order?
SmarterChild (Rick Markowitz) was featured on our Stargazers column in November and has been climbing up the charts rapidly since that time period. He brings us his rendition (alongside Oxymorron) of the Gym Class Heroes’ “Ass Back Home.” This mellow progressive remix adds a club feel to the original mix and the chopped up vocals towards the end of the tune gives us a little added flavor to the chorus. Talent never goes unnoticed by Dancing Astronaut, and SmarterChild just oozes with it.
Remember “Dancin” from the summer of 2005? It may seem like a ton of time has passed since the original release, but artisans such as Laidback Luke and Mark Knight have been dropping the acapella version of this tune in their live sets forever. Luke uses his trademark electro chords to create an official remix that is sure to keep you bouncing around for months to come. We feel that the trumpet is one of the most underused sounds in the game today, however, Luke mastered the instrument like no other. Check back for the release on January 19th (which is a day to mark on your calendar – just in case you are a release junkie like we are) it will be available exclusively on Beatport.
Tommy Trash is not only part of the Musical Freedom family, but he is also making headway with the Mixmash crew. Looks like a guy this talented is getting picked up by everyone (kind of like the unbelievably hot chick at a club). “Sex, Drugs, Rock ‘n’ Roll” is Tommy’s techiest track to date, it still has electro influences, but you don’t experience those deep drops that are standard in most of his tracks. This reminds us of a dirtier version of David Tort’s “Acid Rocker,” the structure of the tunes are almost exactly the same. At DA we love when artists go out of the box and increase their versatility – Tommy is proving that he can conquer multiple genres.
A day after coming out with his edit of Michael Brun’s “Dawn,” Hardwell teases us with his latest single “Spaceman.” This sounds a little different from his usual tunes such as “Munster” and “Encoded” due to the fact that it incorporates a thicker bassline and is much more electro based than we have come to expect from the King of Trouse. Those of you that remember January and February of this year – Hardwell owned those months in terms of releases. Considering “Spaceman” is set to release on January 23rd, we think he has the same type of plan in mind.
This is a free download. You could initially go and download it the ‘hard way’ by liking the Skoda page (car company) and then clicking on the ‘Tiesto’ tab. Or you can cut the bullshit and download it straight from this post. Your choice. “What Can We Do (A Deeper Love)” was released in November and was a vastly underrated release (probably due to the fact that it was a free release as well and was not promoted by the world of EDM as much). Third Party continues their tear through the progressive world with a synth filled remix that makes “What Can We Do” a club anthem. Bold Prediction: Third Party’s set at White Wonderland is the early favorite for “Best Set Played On New Years Eve” and it will fully live up to it’s lofty expectations.

In sports, new comers are put under the magnifying glass. Their athleticism, mindset, and ability to handle pressure at high levels are tested day in and day out. When you get a rookie that is awesome, you know your organization is set for at least the next decade. In the world of EDM, people don’t necessarily scrutinize you at every opportunity, but in order to break down the doors and get some attention you need to be damn good. We’d like to introduce you to Michael Brun – a soon to be perennial all-star in the game of music. Check out his remix of “Dancing” just in case you are worried if this kid might be a one hit wonder.

Daddy’s Groove is best known for their work alongside superstar Axwell. The remixes for “Walk With Me” and “Nothing But Love” were amazing and were among the biggest tracks for 2010. This year has been a little more quiet, but their rendition of “Where Them Girls At” showed a darker side from Daddy’s Groove. There is no doubt that “Wild World” is their signature production for the year. The instrumental mix is gentle and playful and represents their standard soothing progressive tracks of years past – jump to 4:17 if you want a little more power. ‘Instrumental Mix’ implies that there is a vocal mix to follow – we can’t wait to hear it.
