Quintino is prepped for an onslaught on 2012. He recently released “The One And Only” and quickly follows it up with “We Gonna Rock.” If you are into robotic sounds (a little Daft Punk-esque) with some serious power, this track is a must listen. We’ve noticed that Q (we are going to make this his official nickname) has a variety of styles. Look back on his previous tracks such as “Selecta” and his remix of “Marry The Night.” There is one thing that is consistent with all his productions – they will surely keep your fists pumping till the wee hours of morning.

Imagine your favorite football team coming out of the locker room and running into a chanting crowd of 70,000-plus people. What would you want to hear in the background as all the commotion was going on? The correct answer is… acid house. What’s even better is that throughout the years we’ve had a few straight up gems from this sub-genre. Think: “Pacha On Acid” and “Teasing Mr. Charlie.” Hell, even LMFAO decided to hop on the bandwagon with “Sexy And I Know It.” The next wave of acid house bangers is starting with “Acid As 303″ and Ash’s “PAPA.” If you ever need an extra dose of energy, avoid pounding a 5-Hour Energy; instead; strap your headphones on and give “Acid As 303″ a listen.

Let’s take a long walk down memory lane. In early 2011, Hardwell started off the year with a big bang coming out with tracks such as “Zero 76,” “Physical,” and “Catch Your Fall.” If January 2012 is any indication, Hardwell is primed for another superb year. “Spaceman” features a similar trouse bassline to “Encoded,” but has a unique hook that causes it to be an enjoyable listening experience. The bass heavy drop is the thickest we’ve heard since his release of “Cobra,” and it thumps extremely hard. Hardwell is one of those guys you mark on your calendar to see – I’ve already requested for Google to alert me when the time is necessary.

The trio that created the masterpiece “Alive” provides us with a sequel called “Eyes Wide Open.” Needless to say, this is going to kick some serious ass at the Beatport box office and be played everywhere and anywhere. The production quality is impeccable and Kate Elsworth’s voice carries over this track beautifully. Even the toughest progressive house critics will have to sit back and enjoy what both Dirty South and Thomas Gold have done. The track has the right amount of power (during the drop) to make even the electro fans smile a bit. This will be one of the top 50 tracks of the year – guaranteed.

This is the fourth single off EDX’s album “On The Edge,” which is set to release this spring. EDX recently released “Give It Up For Love” alongside John Williams and “Falling Out Of Love.” Both of these tunes feature the pleasant melodies that we have come to love from Maurizio Colella (EDX), but “This Is Your Life” is completely different. Not only is this much harder than normal EDX productions, but it has a driving bassline that encapsulates Nadia Ali’s voice. During the drop you can even hear a hint of dubstep that meshes perfectly with the energy of the track. We love this new style from EDX and we think you will too.
John De Sohn teams up with the vocalist (Andreas Moe) from Avicii’s “Fade Into Darkness” to create “Long Time,” which was released in early December. The remix package features two underrated producers in Andy Harding and Alex Sayz. Both remixes are unconventional and add a little more power than the sensitive original mix. The nitty gritty is below.
John De Sohn ft. Andreas Moe – Long Time (Andy Harding Remix)
If you enjoy distortions and a ton of grunge check out the drop on Andy Harding’s remix. Andreas Moe’s vocals get chopped up numerous times throughout the track and during the build up his voice turns robotic. Hardcore electro fans will enjoy this one.

While this remix still falls under the progressive category – it is crazy. Think Albin Myers mixed with a touch of Sidney Samson. This is one of those remixes that would do well at a massive festival with the lights going crazy and everyone jumping around.

“Shave It” was Zedd’s most prominent track of 2011 (we know he had a couple of really good tunes), and the young producer recently dropped another electro gem called “Slam The Door.” Initially, we thought he might take a little break before he started with the fire again. Put it this way – we were completely wrong. Zedd’s remix of “Breakn’ A Sweat” is a winner from start to finish. Whether you like pumping your fists, grinding on girls, or starting a mosh pit this needs to be on your next playlist. If you ever needed a good kick in the ass to start your day – play this and you’ll be good to go.
Tip your hat for the folks from down under, because these Aussies have really taken it to the next level. Ivan Gough is one half of the famous duo TV Rock and Feenixpawl is made up of Aden Forte and Josh Soon (two Aussie up and comers). Georgi Kay indie vocals are perfect for a tune that is very similar in structure to Dirty South’s “Walking Alone.” Much like the previous ‘big’ release on Axtone (“Resurrection“), Axwell applies his touches onto what should be one of the more prominent releases of the year.
David Puentez uses the brilliant vocals of Max C to create his latest single “Things We Do 4 Love.” This is actually his older tune “Melodrama” that was incredibly successful and compared to more than a few Avicii-esque tracks. Miss Nine, Christian Falero, and Adrian Villaverde take their turns remixing an already fabulous tune. Let’s dive into the details below.

Miss Nine creates a sexy rendition of “Things We Do 4 Love” (or maybe it’s just her?). It is not quite as uplifting as the original mix, but it is what you would envision being played at a club at 4 AM. The synths are much stronger and at approximately at 3:37 the drums start kicking in creating a whole new sensation of euphoria. Don’t sleep on Miss Nine – the hottest new celebrity to join the ranks of EDM.

Christian Falero and Adrian Villaverde use elongated pauses during the build up which creates more than a few spine tingling moments. The drop is much more Swanky Tunes-esque and it definitely has more tech oriented moments than the original mix. If you love horns and the traditional steam gun sound you will absolutely love this remix.

Deniz Koyu recently featured this mashup on Max Vangeli’s latest podcast. It was the first track he dropped in his guest mix and it immediately caught our attention. Not only does it combine some of the most recognizable tracks in house music (“Tung,” “Sweet Disposition,” and “Around The World“), it just flat out works. Enjoy this Koyu gift while we wait for the release of his highly anticipated remix (announced on Twitter yesterday) of Fedde Le Grand’s “So Much Love.” If you thought that was all that was in tow, there is also a big collaboration with Deniz, Fedde, and Johan Wedel set to release shortly.
