“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.

Bananas, Champagne, and craziness are all staples of Dada Life’s performances. Add lavishness, intimacy, and Las Vegas into the mix and you get one hell of a night. XS Las Vegas is hosting Dada Life on the 23rd of January and it will be a night you won’t want to miss (purchase tickets here). Dancing Astronaut was there all last weekend and we have to say that the club’s energy is unparalleled not only in Vegas, but anywhere in the world. Be sure to check out our own video interview (“Behind The Booth“) with Dada Life as well!
Sebjak has been known for his pulsing and powerful progressive basslines. He reminds us a lot of Hard Rock Sofa because you know everything will incorporate the sweeping sounds we have come to love and appreciate from deeper tracks. A few of Sebjak’s previous beauties have been “Analog Stockholm” and his remix of Cicada’s “Fast Cars.” This time around he uses a tech oriented bassline that meshes perfectly with the robotic vocals that give this tune a sinister yet bold feel. Sebjak welcomes you to the ‘dark side’ – we hear excessive partying takes place there on numerous occasions.

Hardwell releases this killer mashup right before his highly anticipated “Spaceman” release. He combines Laidback Luke and Sander Van Doorn’s “Who’s Wearing The Cap” and Michael Woods’ “Last Day On Earth.” Hardwell flawlessly transitions between both tracks and using Duvall’s vocals to his advantage. The drop is what really sells this mashup because it is much harder than the original mix of “Last Day On Earth.” We know that Hardwell loves to bring the heat so it is no surprise that he keeps finding unique ways of lighting speakers on fire.

Next up on the prestigious Size Records is Quilinez’ premier release “Troll.” This duo is made up of Alexander Lager and Johannes Gustafsson and they are going to be in the spotlight in no time. They have the pathway set to follow along the likes of Tim Mason, An21 & Max Vangeli, and Third Party to name a few. The interesting part of “Troll” is that it almost seems as though it is two songs put together in one. There is a melodious segment capped off by a harder drop that extends throughout the end of the clip. One thing we know for sure is that “Troll” keeps us raging. The creature is out there!
Steve Aoki and Wynter Gordon create a music video for “Ladi Dadi” where they play characters from the movie Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Things get intense straight from the beginning when Wynter Gordon seductively crawls across the dining table and proceeds to get physical with Steve Aoki. The entire video is sinister, but has some humor deep within. Turns out – Wynter Gordon ends up being the victor in the battle till death. Looks like even in the dance world, women always win in relationships of love. Unless, of course, you are Steve Aoki — the mastermind of electro house — then you always get the last laugh.
Steve Angello’s “Yeah” is the follow up track to his 2010 smash hit “KNAS.” The track has been out for quite some time, but has been slated for a 2012 release (exact date unknown) on his very own Size Records. The rock-0influenced bassline is much harder than what we have come to expect from any of the members of the Swedish House Mafia, but (recently) they have been known to dive into the darkside on occasion (their last tune was “Antidote” alongside Knife Party, which had a serious amount of grunge). Remember to stay by your computer tomorrow at 10 AM PST to purchase your 1st week Coachella tickets to see the Swedish House Mafia headline.
