Sebastian Ingrosso came out with his first installment of his brand new podcast series called Refune Radio. In this month’s show, Ingrosso announced the preview of “Eclipse (Why Am I Doing This)” and gave us a listen to Axtone Records’ upcoming release,”In My Mind.” We can expect to hear the tracks that not only each Swede (Axwell, Ingrosso, and Angello) will play, but it will sum up many of the releases on each one of their respective labels. Obviously, the announcement of new tunes that are set to release on Refune Records is the most enticing part of the package. Make sure you subscribe on iTunes so that you can be up to date with SHM music.
Sebastian Ingrosso kicks off his podcast Refune Radio with a bang by announcing his newest track alongside Steve Angello and Alesso called “Eclipse (Why Am I Doing This).” It looks as if the talented Alesso has ‘replaced’ Axwell in a new age (but temporary) version of the Swedish House Mafia. “Eclipse” is easily the most acidic track released by any of SHM’s members since Steve Angello’s “Teasing Mr. Charlie.” This one should provide a heavy dose of energy when the track is available to purchase (we’ve heard of no exact release date yet, but we’ll keep you posted). We hope the release of “Eclipse” is a much easier process than the release of Masquerade Motel (Miami) tickets.
Neon Trees’ first single “Animal” peaked at number 13 on the Billboard charts, Michael Brun attempts to tackle a tough test by making a progressive remix to an insanely popular tune. Michael Brun also made our Top 5 Emerging Rookies List due to the success of his tracks “Dancing” and “Dawn.” When listening to his previous releases you can see that Michael can produce many different sounds ranging from sensitive progressive all the way to more big room stuff. 2012 will represent a big year for this up and coming producer so stay tuned to hear more from him.
Looking for something to do this weekend? Tired of hearing the same progressive remixes you’ve heard a million times before? Might we suggest turning up the volume with AutoErotique at Club Illusions this Saturday, January 28th.

The X-Factor took America by storm late last year, and now Simon Cowell is looking to apply the same model to the world of DJing. Cowell’s Syco Entertainment company — the same one involved with that little Leona Lewis debacle — has confirmed a live, international contest to “find the world’s greatest DJs.” Cowell himself told Music Week that he’s been working on the show for over a year, and adds that “DJs are the new rock stars.” It’ll be interesting to see how this all goes down when the show finally airs, but this certainly raises more questions than it answers. What kind of music, the general format, and which judges Cowell will bring in are all still TBA, but we’ll certainly keep you posted as we hear about the situation.
TORQ’s Thursday night at Ruby Skye has been a staple in San Francisco nightlife for booking up-and-comers, and old school DJs alike. This time, Mau5trap Record’s German star, and tech legend, Moguai, gave a rainy night a touch of class.
Deniz Koyu has done it again. The just-posted preview of his “So Much Love” rework puts the full range of his production power on display; seriously, the man can do no wrong. “So Much Love” in its original form was an upbeat, if slightly repetitive, retro-house groove that stayed atop the Beatport charts for weeks. The remix sticks with the upbeat vibe, but also boasts a new synth melody that’s classic Koyu: instantly catchy but actually pretty multi-layered from a production standpoint. Are we gushing? Maybe. But listen to the preview and you’ll see that it’s well-deserved. The remix drops February 12th on Universal.
You may not live in Great Britain, but chances are you’ve heard of the Ministry of Sound. The legendary nightclub has been nestled in London for the past twenty years, and is facing some new neighbors in the form of luxury apartments across the street. If approved, the Ministry would be forced to close and result in hundreds of lost jobs — not to mention all the lost culture. Now there’s an online petition to help save the Ministry, and to tell the government why London wouldn’t be the same without it there. To do your part, click the link below and add your name to the list of supporters who recognize the Ministry’s importance and don’t want the music to stop. PS: Include the hashtag #savemosclub in your Tweets to help get the message out.
Hot off of his high-energy electro remix of Kaskade’s “Turn it Down”, Le Castle Vania is back with a brand new original. The Atlanta based DJ and producer departed from his usual hard-hitting electro to offer up a refreshing nu-disco gem. Fans of the Australian Disco scene will love this track.
Maison and Dragen continue their impressive run of releases with their remix of “Talking To Myself.” Recently, they have been placed at number 5 on our “Top 5 Emerging Rookies” list. Not only is their future bright, but their production quality is impeccable. Listen to “Rio De Janeiro” if you need any convincing as to what solid progressive house sounds like. The bandwagon is still relatively open as we speak, we highly suggest hopping on it now before it inevitably gets full.
