A day after coming out with his edit of Michael Brun’s “Dawn,” Hardwell teases us with his latest single “Spaceman.” This sounds a little different from his usual tunes such as “Munster” and “Encoded” due to the fact that it incorporates a thicker bassline and is much more electro based than we have come to expect from the King of Trouse. Those of you that remember January and February of this year – Hardwell owned those months in terms of releases. Considering “Spaceman” is set to release on January 23rd, we think he has the same type of plan in mind.
Released a few days ago on the Bingo Player’s label Hysteria, “Xtreme” is the type of high energy track we’ve come to expect from Ralvero. It starts off slow, teasing you with a subtle bass line and melodic synth but by the 3:00 minute mark there is no more room for subtlety. “Xtreme” has received early support from Tiesto on his “Club Life” radio show, and has also been dropped by Afrojack and Bobby Burns on “Jacked.” Like “Rambo” before it, expect this bomb to find it’s way into the sets of some of the world’s biggest DJs.

When we checked out Sensation White in Barcelona, we told you it was one of the most unique events we’ve ever been to. Well, we’ve got good news for those of you who can’t just hop on a plane to Europe: the festival will be making its way to America in 2012! The teaser above was uploaded to Sensation’s YouTube page a few days ago, and though it makes the event a little more overwhelming than exhilarating, we can assure you that this is one event you will not want to miss. The production at Sensation was one of the best we’ve ever seen, and it we’re fascinated to see where they’ll do it. The arena environment was really integral to the experience in Spain, and there are only so many similar venues in the States. Oh well, guess we’ll just kill the time watching YouTube videos until more is announced in March.
Only a month after Sebastian Krieg released a DA favorite named “Starchild,” he has come back with another progressive beauty. This time, Krieg teamed up with Danny Freakazoid and Strobe, who are both very skilled progressive guys. While Freakazoid and Strobe usually use darker melodies and synths, Sebastian Krieg delivers the more joyous piano build-up on “Room 300.” Similar to Michael Woods’s music, this track powerfully moves forward with the pitch rising to higher and higher notes as the drums keep rolling.

Just in time for Chrismukkah, mau5trap’s own Moguai releases “I CEE” for free via soundcloud for the next 24 hours! After the incredible success of “Lyve from Beta” and an epic tour that spanned 5 continents, 24 countries, and 114 cities it’s hard to imagine having a better year than his in 2011.
So how does Moguai plan to make 2012 more epic than 2011? That’s simple, just release a new album on mau5trap entitled “MPire” and kick off another huge tour starting in January!
Workaholic doesn’t even begin to describe this level of dedication and passion.
Check out this Vegas-inspired free bootleg Chuckie threw up on his Soundcloud last night. Chuckie takes a pretty standard hip-hop track and turns it into a dancefloor destroyer with a huge electro sound and massive drop. Chuckie’s transition between the hard electro and uplifting synths in the middle of the track are a testament to why we feel he is one of the best artists in the game.
This is a free download. You could initially go and download it the ‘hard way’ by liking the Skoda page (car company) and then clicking on the ‘Tiesto’ tab. Or you can cut the bullshit and download it straight from this post. Your choice. “What Can We Do (A Deeper Love)” was released in November and was a vastly underrated release (probably due to the fact that it was a free release as well and was not promoted by the world of EDM as much). Third Party continues their tear through the progressive world with a synth filled remix that makes “What Can We Do” a club anthem. Bold Prediction: Third Party’s set at White Wonderland is the early favorite for “Best Set Played On New Years Eve” and it will fully live up to it’s lofty expectations.

In sports, new comers are put under the magnifying glass. Their athleticism, mindset, and ability to handle pressure at high levels are tested day in and day out. When you get a rookie that is awesome, you know your organization is set for at least the next decade. In the world of EDM, people don’t necessarily scrutinize you at every opportunity, but in order to break down the doors and get some attention you need to be damn good. We’d like to introduce you to Michael Brun – a soon to be perennial all-star in the game of music. Check out his remix of “Dancing” just in case you are worried if this kid might be a one hit wonder.

So far this week, we have established our criteria for ranking the year’s top artists and have divulged our rankings from 50-31. Today, we’re back with another 10 of our picks for the top 50 Artists of 2011. This portion of DA’s Top 50 Artists is composed of some well-seasoned EDM veterans, as well as some kids who are barely legal; but, one thing that they all have in common is that they make music that we can’t get enough of. From progressive, to trance, to tech-house, to electro, the following artists are some of the best around, and if you look at what they have accomplished this year, it’s hard to argue with where they rank on our list.
So, without any further ado, we present artists 30-21.
Daddy’s Groove is best known for their work alongside superstar Axwell. The remixes for “Walk With Me” and “Nothing But Love” were amazing and were among the biggest tracks for 2010. This year has been a little more quiet, but their rendition of “Where Them Girls At” showed a darker side from Daddy’s Groove. There is no doubt that “Wild World” is their signature production for the year. The instrumental mix is gentle and playful and represents their standard soothing progressive tracks of years past – jump to 4:17 if you want a little more power. ‘Instrumental Mix’ implies that there is a vocal mix to follow – we can’t wait to hear it.
