Millions Like Us are a dubstep trio from Brighton, UK. They have seen recent success in the UK Dubstep scene, with their track “Put Your Shoes On” being featured back in January on BBC Radio 1′s Introducing Playlist.
“Move In Closer” is true dubstep at its finest. This isn’t brostep, there aren’t any chainsaws and screams and incoherent babble, just a smooth triplet bass line coupled with an understated synth, off-tempo kicks and infectious vocals.

Chuckie might be the most high-energy performer in house music today. The guy is always jumping around on stage with such intensity that we have absolutely no idea how his trademark wide-brim baseball hats stay on. He never takes his foot off the gas, and his sets are relentless from start to finish.
This bootleg features the signature chords from Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” with a heavy, metallic drop. If you don’t like it, then you need a bigger subwoofer.

Tiesto is currently in the middle of his College Invasion Tour, along the way he decided to release his remix of “Slaughter House”. While this track isn’t as hard as “Maximal Crazy” or as synth oriented as “Don’t Ditch“, it blends the best of elements of both those tracks together to find a happy medium, we like to describe the elements of this song as ‘non dirty’ electro house. Is it just us or does Silas sound eerily similar to Max C (another prominent house vocalist)? This is a great tune to get the crowd rowdy and the energy levels at unmatched heights.

Steve Jobs was an absolute visionary in the world of computing, and he has had quite a big impact on the music industry as well. The iPod still remains one of the most influential and revolutionary products of all time, and more recent introductions like the iPhone and iPad have made the same splash in a much shorter time period. iTunes was introduced as a safe, legal answer to the Napster craze, and has since become the world’s most popular music downloading store — not to mention a program that most of us use daily.
The world has lost a great mind today — but his legacy will live on every time we see the shiny Apple logo on a device we couldn’t live without.
“You Got To Go” relays Above & Beyond’s talents through various segments of the track. You can tell the difference between the beginning, middle, and end of the tune, it is as if they are telling a story. The build up (beginning) has a soothing feeling as it slowly incorporates Zoe Johnston’s vocals and leads you towards the meat of the song. As we head towards the middle, the sweeping bassline takes over control (Afrojack reference anyone?) and sends you into outer space as the various sounds engulf you in ecstasy. The end allows for things to heat up for a short period of time and the vocals play a very prominent role right before the track starts to fade out. We consider this our favorite release since “Sun & Moon“, what do you guys think?

When Kyau & Albert put this remix together they were thinking one thing: “we are going to crush it”. Their faster paced remix keeps the energy at unmatched levels. This kind of stuff really puts you on another planet, as if you were zoning out everything and everyone but the music. If a remix can do that – it is damn good in our book.

Already having a great amount of paramount releases this year, Sneakerz MUZIK sure knows how to pick out raw talent. Reigning from the Netherlands, the relatively new Dutch producer, Tony Junior, has produced an instant hit that may have unfortunately gone unnoticed by many. “Appeletroen” greatly resembles Afrojack’s distinc build ups and enormous bass lines, with a drop that sounds very much like Awooga,” but on steroids. Tony Junior created an exhilarating pump-up track that’s definitely worth a listen!

Kaskade is coming out with a new album Fire & Ice that is set to hit iTunes on October 25th and November 8th everywhere else.

Stay tuned for an album review of all the tracks on Dancing Astronaut shortly!
Release Date: iTunes October 25th, everywhere else November 8th
Only producers as modest, gifted, and motivated as Thomas Gold actually go on to remix an old masterful product into a newer and equivalently astounding one. Getting ready for his U.S tour starting at Pacha NYC, the rising superstar not only has time to produce top-notch tracks for distinguished labels such as Axtone, Size, and Doorn, but has also contributed his 2011 rework of “Marsch Marsch” to the 2011 Toolroom Amsterdam Dance Event Compilation. The rework conserves the pounding triumphant drum sequences of the original, and provides a heart pounding big room drop with addicting progressive vibes. The nearly underestimated German is most certainly responsible for some of the biggest original releases of the 2010-2011 era, such as “Alive,” “Areena,” and AGORa,” as well as transcendent remixes to “Set Fire To The Rain,” “Reach Out,” and of course “Judas.” He makes it sound easy, but Thomas Gold is truly riding a giant wave of success due to all the idolized tracks he has pumped out over the past couple of years.
We can probably go on to talk about other numerous reasons why Thomas Gold is truly THE MAN, but that would just be taking too much time away from listening to his crafty concoction!

Still craving more from the surreal weekend of Insomniac’s annual Nocturnal Wonderland Festival, hundreds of hungry fans flocked to the Playhouse in Hollywood for the official Recovery Party featuring none other than Alesso. One of the hottest new producers and DJs hailing from Sweden and signed onto Sebastian Ingrosso’s Refune Records, Alesso had The Playhouse jumping from the beginning.
Dirty South took the stage alongside Alesso for a good part of the night, after being introduced by his hit remix of “Coming Home.” Alesso lifted the whole sunset strip off the ground by dropping banger after banger. The Playhouse regular, Elmo, showed up with his cold smoke gun, which he swayed back and forth over the hundreds of people raging on the dance floor. We’ve been talking up the Playhouse for sometime now. They throw out-of-this-world parties and have been booking some of the best talent in the industry. Check out all the photos on our Facebook and see the recap video above.
2011 has certainly been a prolific year for Nom De Strip aka Chris Elliot, as he produced tracks along side Chris Lake, LA Riots, and Bart B More. Teaming up with Los Angelas based TJR and Sue Cho’s phenomenal vocals, “My Life” is another noteworthy release off Aoki’s Dim Mak compilation — New Noise. Although Tommy Trash’s “Blair Bitch Project” and Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike’s “Stomp” have been the notorious favorites off the Dim Mak compilation, it would be an immense mistake to ignore how enormous of a track “My Life” really is. Sue Cho’s old school dubbed voice builds up into an electro-house banger. Make sure to listen to the whole track because at 3:15, Nom De Strip & TJR add more funky electro-house elements to keep the track interesting.
