The Lunde Bros follow up their release of “Saga” with a two track package that includes “If You Wanna” and “Knifeproblems.” Both of these tunes will do excellent in a club setting; let’s dive into the details below.
Lunde Bros – If You Wanna (Original Mix)
“If You Wanna” is very simple in structure; it’s bass-heavy and features the familiar bleeps that were ubiquitous in clubs two years ago. The lyrics are attention-grabbing — their sole purpose is to build up the energy until the drop is unleashed. This track will definitely cause an adequate amount of commotion on a dance floor near you.

Sidney Samson gave away his latest remix of Jennifer Lopez’s “Papi” as a free download on his Facebook page. The drop sounds like a mix between two previous Sidney productions, “The Street Is Ours” and “Surrender.” Our favorite part is the build up that accompanies Pitbull’s vocals at the 2:45 mark. Interestingly enough, JLo’s voice sounds better here than it did on the original mix, a testament to Sidney’s impeccable engineering skills. Be sure to pick up your copy below to drop in your next set.

Jeremy Olander produces progressive house in its purest form. Many of the sounds he creates are reminiscent of the style Eric Prydz employs where, rather than big drops and synth-laden build-ups, the track is delicately balanced and nuanced. In fact, Jeremy’s last major release, a remix of “Circles,” accompanied a Prydz rendition in the remix package. “The Drew” and “Animal Garden” were given away for free a few days ago on Olander’s Facebook page. Both tracks have that “carry me away” effect, but the Dancing Astronaut choice here is “Animal Garden” due to its eclectic feel.

Wolfgang Gartner released his album Weekend in America not too long ago, but he’s already back in the studio churning out more electro house beats. “There and Back” is the first of this new batch of singles, and it doesn’t disappoint. Gartner’s known for his exceptional melodies, all rendered in spooky, halting synths; that classic sound is no doubt present on “There and Back,” but the melody is particularly evocative and the claps and kick drums hit harder than ever. We’re loving everything about this one and can’t wait for it to drop. Look out for “There and Back” on Beatport January 31st, and on iTunes February 14th.
Tomorrow night Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, along with special guest Cazzette, will be performing at Haze Nightclub in Las Vegas and Dancing Astronaut has a pair of tickets to give away to some lucky readers. All you have to do is click on the link below and you could be going to this show for free, courtesy of wanttickets.com and Dancing Astronaut.
For those of you who want to check out this show regardless, pre-sale tickets are currently on sale, but will close tomorrow morning at 8:30 am. This show is going be amazing, so if you are in Vegas for the weekend, make sure to check out two of DA‘s favorite artists.
We saw Hardwell when he came to Philadelphia a few weeks back, but he’s returning to North America this February for his upcoming Spaceman Tour. Named for his most recent release, the tour will start off at Cobra Nightclub (which just so happens to share its name with another Hardwell original) in London, Ontario, before heading down to the Northeast and Las Vegas. There are ten shows in all throughout the ten day tour, so it looks like Hardwell will be working hard and playing hard for its duration. Tickets for the various shows are on sale now, so make sure to buy early if you’re interested.
There is a reason that we ranked Pierce at number 1 on our 2012 Top 5 Emerging Rookies List. It’s because he kicks ass. “Who Wants Spaghetti” is Pierce’s latest single that is set to be released on Cr2 Records. This rock n roll influenced progressive jam boasts an elegant bassline with some mild tech influences. The drumline spikes up the adrenaline levels and adds to the attention grabbing drop. Here at DA, we love when artists take on new styles and “Who Wants Spaghetti?” is vastly different from his “Pardon My French EP.” Thanks for backing up our ranking, Pierce, we appreciate it.
Otto Knows is fast becoming one of the top young talents in house music. Avicii and Sebastian Ingrosso are among his many fans and give a lot of support to his releases. Having just signed to Refune Records, Otto premiered his latest track on Ingrosso’s debut radio show yesterday. “Million Voices” is a melodic house tune that starts off tranquil with samples of singing children breaking up the emotional building synths, but it leads to a drop that definitely satisfies the driving club beat. We look forward to the February 8th release of the full version.
DA was able to sit down with Quintino right after his release of “We Gonna Rock” to talk about 2012, Twitter, and the influence of Vegas. Not only does it seem as if Q has big plans, he already taken the initiative to get the wheels churning with a ton of new stuff in the works. We look forward to see what tricks the Musical Freedom team has in store and how high Quintino will move up the DJing ranks this year. Read the full interview after the jump.
Nero are releasing their brand new single “Must Be The Feeling” on March 5th. Ahead of that release, UK Drumstep duo Delta Heavy, put their touches on it and let it go as a free download. The original track features a sample of 80s Detroit Disco diva Carmen and has become a huge favorite at their recent shows. In the Delta Heavy remix, the 80s vibe is still very much present, but they absolutely ramp everything up and turn it into massive dancefloor tune. We can tell that this track is absolutely going to kill it at live shows. Grab this free download here!
