If everything seems better when it’s free, then the same can certainly be said for music. Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano are giving away their re-fixxx of Swedish House Mafia’s new hit, “Antidote.” The dutch duo’s version chops up the vocals and inserts a steady rhythm of drums, while still preserving the original’s beat and awesomeness. SJRM’s fresh take on the popular — not to mention oft-played — track is definitely worth a listen. For those of us who love the original but have already begun to tire of it, this may be just the antidote you need.

Legendary Dutch duo Rank 1 has teamed up with Jochen Miller yet again to bring us another trance masterpiece. “Wild and Perfect Day” employs catchy vocals by Sarah Bettens to complement the blend of melody and bass which keeps the song going from start to finish. There are two different versions of this track: a clean extended mix that starkly contrasts the dub version which is more upbeat and raw. Both are available on Beatport now, and either edition should satisfy any trance fan.

Coming off her remix of David Puentez’s “Things We Do 4 Love,” Miss Nine, gives us her rendition of “Summit.” This was just released on Macarize Records which is gaining traction as one of the best progressive house labels around. The soft piano riffs adds to the overall elegance of the tune, while the pulsing synths packs the right amount of punch. As you proceed towards the end of the track, you will notice an elongated segment filled with distortions and craziness. This remix is begging for a mash up that blends progressive with some hard electro. We are willing to bet that a few DA followers can craft up something spectacular.

We all know that the internet is a breeding ground for hoaxes and hearsay, but when we heard some buzzing about a so-called Spring Awakening Music Festival at Soldier Field in Chicago — one with rumored headliners Skrillex and Daft Punk — we had to start investigating ourselves. After some snooping, we’ve verified that there is definitely something big planned for June in the Windy City. Read on for what we know so far.
Another week has passed and Tommy Trash has delivered yet another great remix. Whenever you see Tommy’s name in a remix package, you know his is going to be the best one.
“Unite Us” has that typical sinister robotic build up, which allows us to prepare for an intense drop. He blended the drops of “Monkey See Monkey Do” and “We Feel Love” to give us the power we have come to expect from Tommy. We can’t wait to see him at LAVO in New York City, which is going to be one hell of a night. Will we see you there?

Right on the heels of his “Acid As 303” release, Alex Kenji, creates an uptempo tech-progressive tune called “Chasing Clouds.” The kicking synths and rhythmic bassline are engineered perfectly and provide us a welcomed balance between hard hitting and chill. Fast forward to 3:30 if you want to get straight into the action. While this may not be as tech-oriented as his tracks released alongside Manuel De La Mare, we always know that a Kenji production is worth our time. Alex’s remix of Plastic Funk and Dave Kurtis’ “Shake” has been added as a bonus below.

Nicky Romero’s body of work the past 4 months has been unparalleled by any artist regardless of genre. His December releases of “Toulouse” and “Haters Gonna Hate” were chart toppers and his free giveaways of “Freaky” and “Slacking” paired him up with Fedde Le Grand. His newest single “Generation 303″ samples the Chemical Brother’s classic “Block Rockin’ Beats,” replacing the original drum and bass style with an acid-house feel that is reminiscent of “Teasing Mr. Charlie” and “Pacha On Acid.” This multi-talented producer can make anything from progressive to electro and continues to absolutely crush it. Nicky’s first release on Tiesto’s Musical Freedom imprint could be his biggest since “Flash.” What do you think?

Dancing Astronaut favorite and NYC native, David Berrie, creates an indie-dance gem out of Foster the People’s “Don’t Stop.” The sing-along chorus coupled with a light-hearted bass line works perfectly here – it’s summertime, pool party aesthetic is the perfect way to forget it’s still only February. Be sure you grab the remix for free from dBerrie’s soundcloud.

With his last original mix “Slam the Door” breaking into Beatport’s top 10 (not to mention its creepy video), Zedd is quickly making a name for himself with solid productions. Skrillex originally recorded “Breakn’ a Sweat” as part of the RE:Generation movie, which pairs up EDM artists with mainstream musicians like The Doors and Nas to recreate, remix, and re-imagine different musical genres. Zedd has put his own grungy spin on the track, crafting not one but two different versions for release. This version you can download below was released as a free tie-in to the flick, while another cut with a Jim Morrison sample will be released on Beatport. Zedd himself chimed in to let us know it’s a new mix and master, so don’t forget to check out the paid version when it comes out Tuesday. Skrillex- Breakn’ a Sweat Ft. The Doors (Zedd Remix) (To download: Right click > Save as…)
Sander van Doorn is no stranger to success. With hits like “KoKo,” “Eagles,” and “Love is Darkness,” 20Eleve11 was certainly an exceptional year for him. Luckily, it seems as if 2012 will be an even bigger year for van Doorn. The preview of his song “Chasin’” was just released and it has all of the same star power as it’s predecessors. The bouncy synths and infectious bass line of this progressive track make it an inevitable crowd pleaser.
