Let’s get this out of the way – this song is bigger than Donovan McNabb’s waistline (well in about 2 years it might not be). Sander Van Doorn and Kele team up to create “What Did I Do” a beautiful trouse song that features Lucy Taylor’s sexy vocals. Don’t confuse Kele with the Kele from Martin Solveig’s “Ready 2 Go” – this is the Kele that created “Tenderoni.” “What Did I Do” is easily the best release since Michael Woods’ “Full Access” and Nicky Romero’s “Toulouse.” We thought Sander would be taking an elongated break after the success of his album Eleve11, but it seems like he still wants to keep dominating. A guy this talented wants to stay on top of the world? Go figure.

You may remember Gosha from his work alongside David Tort and Axwell with “One Look,” which was one of the biggest tracks earlier this year. This time around he teams up with Richard Grey to create “Falling Down” which features a melodic piano breakdown and light hearted vocals. You can feel the Latin influences emitting from this playful and upbeat tune – if you are a DJ and you want to get people dancing (not grinding) this is a track the dance Gods would approve of. Richard Grey has sneakily been releasing some nice releases, check out his rework of “Lady.”

We featured Nicky Romero’s remix yesterday, and today the Italian duo Promise Land comes out with their rendition of Kelly Clarkson’s “What Doesn’t Kill You.” You may think this remix is a bit more mellow (when compared to Nicky’s) for about the first minute, but wait until you get to the drop. There is a significant amount of dirt and wobble to make even the most hardcore electro fans smile. We can’t wait to see who else will be featured on this remix package. Thus far the names have been big and the previews have not disappointed.
Christmas might be over, but Dirty South is still handing out presents. If you like progressive house, you’ll love this delectable Christmas mix from the Australian DJ/producer. Did we mention it’s free? Dragan’s probably still thrilled after clocking in at a respectable 12 in the Dancing Astronaut Top 50.
A quick glance through the track list tells you all you need to know. The mix is full of Dirty South’s signature melodic remixes, as well as his iconic collaboration with Those Usual Suspects, “Walking Alone.” Yet another reason to love this talented musician and all-around nice guy. We’re expecting big things from down under in 2012.

Following up his release of “Blue Collision,” Michael Canitrot comes out with “White Escape” a track filled with straight up fire from start to finish. Formula One should seriously consider using this as their pre-race song of choice. At DA we are suckers for piano riffs and at around 2:12 Michael Canitrot brings us pure bliss. The build up is well engineered – you can hear all the instruments play their part in making this track a hit. We truly hope this tune charts, because it is too damn good not to. 2012 will be where Michael Canitrot makes a R3hab like jump into fame.

March 23rd, 2012. Mark your calendars, plug the date into your phone, set an alarm. Do whatever is necessary to be in South Beach for Masquerade Motel Miami Round 2. SHM recently tore up MSG with more ferocity than Carmelo Anthony and company could even fathom, next they will tear up Miami, and finally they continue their onslaught with their show at Milton Keynes Bowl. If Masquerade Motel Miami 2011 was any indication – 2012 should be huge. Pharell made a guest appearance last year – who can we expect this time around?
NOTE: We will be back with an update on when tickets will be announced. Stay tuned.
Kelly Clarkson rose to fame through the American Idol show, she was one of the winners during the peak of its popularity. Great for her. Let’s be honest – “What Doesn’t Kill You” was alright at best, even if you are into that Britney Spears-esque stuff. Nicky Romero takes Kelly’s newest single to new heights by adding a strong bassline and a crazy drop (fast forward to approximately 1:15 on the teaser). Is it just us or does the drop sound a little like “Toulouse” meets “Haters Gonna Hate?” This is set to release on Sony, which is huge news for Nicky Romero because it is such a big label. Catch him on NYE at Space 550 in San Francisco if you are in the area!
The first set of remixes of Moby’s “After” was done by none other than Tommy Trash and Tim Mason. Both of those were very different from Joris Voorn’s rendition which is a much more tech oriented. His tracks are very dance-able, simple in structure, and flat out groovy. Think about his past work such as “Callisto” and “I Believe In Love,” both are the definition of ‘lounge house.’ For those of you that are aspiring DJs and need a few opening tracks to get your live set started off in the right fashion look no further than Mr. Voorn’s tunes.

There’s no denying that Swedish House Mafia has had quite the year. They say thanks to the fans for their epic night at Madison Square Garden in this short teaser. Here’s to hoping there’s a longer MSG recap video in the works, but you can still find videos of the night floating around online.
Robbie Rivera has recently released his “Dance Or Die Series 2″ which features two originals, vocals from JES, and a collaboration with Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike. This four track compilation has a little bit of every style ranging from progressive to electro. Let’s dive into the details below.
Robbie Rivera – Makes Me Feel Good (Original Mix)
This robotic track features some melodious electro chords, which remind us a little bit of “Lunar.” We especially love the pause when the lyrics come in that say “Makes Me Feel Good,” this is definitely one the most club worthy tracks on this series of “Dance Or Die.”

Robbie Rivera – Roxy (Original Mix)
This synth filled progressive tune is definitely the most sensitive productions from the King of Juicy Music. Most of Robbie’s stuff has a ton of fire, but this is more along the lines of “Imagine” rather than “Ding Dong.” “Roxy” is definitely suitable for a Christmas party.

Robbie Rivera, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike ft. Lizzie Curious – My Heart (Original Mix)
If you are a fan of distortions and heavy bass – “My Heart” is definitely the winner out of this package. Lizzie’s voice just radiates throughout the build up and preps you up for a big Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike influenced drop. Play this in your next Dutch influenced house set to garner a spectacular crowd reaction.

Robbie Rivera ft. JES – Turn It Around (Original Mix)
JES’ chopped up vocals mesh perfectly with the deeper bassline. We don’t like to refer to this song as dark (because it isn’t), but it definitely qualifies for emotional. The last time JES was featured on DA was for the remix package of “Awaken.” Give this one a try.
