The Firebeatz are at it again with the release of their new single “Where’s Your Head At.” This is a remake of the Basement Jaxx version, except it provides us with a little more electro power. If you love piercing sounds and a heavy bassline you are going to be into all Firebeatz productions . The last two singles they have come out with have highly recognizable lyrics that have a profound effect on everyone no matter what setting you are in. Check out “Funky Shit” and their remix of “Amnesia” if you can’t get enough of this duo’s powerful style. “Where’s Your Head At” drops on Beatport this Monday and will be released on Spinnin Records.
Our first thought when listening to “Roman Bromanski” was that it sounded eerily similar to Afrojack’s “Polkadots.” The Dutch bleeps are scattered throughout the track, but are not as prevalent as one might expect from a Dutch creation. The addition of darker synths and the use of percussion instruments reigns King throughout this tune. We feel this track is made for the festivals more than the clubs or even for your daily listening pleasure. It’s an array of sounds rather than a full blown melody. Give it a shot below!

Mikael Weermets gave away a few quality bootlegs for free earlier this year in order to announce the fact that he is going to take over 2012. Recently, he released a preview of his remix to “Mas Que Nada,” a song which features the steam gun sound from start to finish. They lyrics give this tune a subtle tribal house feel, something that was lost in the fray for the entirety of 2011. While no exact release date has been given, “Mas Que Nada” will be made available to purchase some time in February courtesy of Ego Records.
Ever since Cherry Coke’s release of “Milky Way” he has been on our radar. We think getting mistaken for Avicii on numerous occasions is the biggest compliment a DJ can receive. “Take It To The Top” has been floating around the web under the title “Avicii – The New Day (2012 Edit).” We know that none of these DJs in particular are ‘big names,’ but they should receive a ton of credit for coming up with a stunning production. Cherry Coke in particular should be on everyone’s radar by now and we vow to be on top of his music for the rest of eternity.

Dash Berlin has always managed to stay relevant in an industry that is constantly changing. His tracks often transcend the genre of trance and he has continued to evolve his sound for the better part of a decade. His latest offering “World Falls Apart” features Jonathan Mendelsohn, who is best known for his work alongside DA favorite, Laidback Luke (think: “Till Tonight” and “Timebomb.”) “World Falls Apart” features a moving and emotional bass line that represents what Dash Berlin is all about — audio-induced euphoria. The Beatport package also features a dub mix, so make sure you pick up your copy as soon as possible.

Make sure to mark your calendars for February 13th, as it is quickly becoming a day full of huge releases from the likes of Pierce Fulton, Gareth Emery, and Starkillers & Dmitry KO.
One of the biggest tracks to hit Beatport in two weeks is a housed-up remake of The Chemical Brothers “Galvanise,” courtesy of Starkillers & Dmitry KO.
“Don’t Hold Back” features the same legendary hook, but offers a huge drop after the roller coaster build up. Towards the end of the preview you can hear it all: wobbles, distortions, and sheer power. If you like what you see from this duo, take some time to listen to “Do You Love;” you won’t be disappointed.
The Lunde Bros follow up their release of “Saga” with a two track package that includes “If You Wanna” and “Knifeproblems.” Both of these tunes will do excellent in a club setting; let’s dive into the details below.
Lunde Bros – If You Wanna (Original Mix)
“If You Wanna” is very simple in structure; it’s bass-heavy and features the familiar bleeps that were ubiquitous in clubs two years ago. The lyrics are attention-grabbing — their sole purpose is to build up the energy until the drop is unleashed. This track will definitely cause an adequate amount of commotion on a dance floor near you.

Sidney Samson gave away his latest remix of Jennifer Lopez’s “Papi” as a free download on his Facebook page. The drop sounds like a mix between two previous Sidney productions, “The Street Is Ours” and “Surrender.” Our favorite part is the build up that accompanies Pitbull’s vocals at the 2:45 mark. Interestingly enough, JLo’s voice sounds better here than it did on the original mix, a testament to Sidney’s impeccable engineering skills. Be sure to pick up your copy below to drop in your next set.

Jeremy Olander produces progressive house in its purest form. Many of the sounds he creates are reminiscent of the style Eric Prydz employs where, rather than big drops and synth-laden build-ups, the track is delicately balanced and nuanced. In fact, Jeremy’s last major release, a remix of “Circles,” accompanied a Prydz rendition in the remix package. “The Drew” and “Animal Garden” were given away for free a few days ago on Olander’s Facebook page. Both tracks have that “carry me away” effect, but the Dancing Astronaut choice here is “Animal Garden” due to its eclectic feel.

There is a reason that we ranked Pierce at number 1 on our 2012 Top 5 Emerging Rookies List. It’s because he kicks ass. “Who Wants Spaghetti” is Pierce’s latest single that is set to be released on Cr2 Records. This rock n roll influenced progressive jam boasts an elegant bassline with some mild tech influences. The drumline spikes up the adrenaline levels and adds to the attention grabbing drop. Here at DA, we love when artists take on new styles and “Who Wants Spaghetti?” is vastly different from his “Pardon My French EP.” Thanks for backing up our ranking, Pierce, we appreciate it.
