Dutch house young-bloods Firebeatz have quickly become one of their nation’s most topical newcomers to date. Ahead of their forthcoming collaboration with Bobby Burns, the duo drops “Yeahhhh” for Calvin Harris’s Fly Eye Records. In the same high-octane vein as Spinnin Records predecessor, “Gangster,” the track deals in gritty low-end electro house to the avail of another landmark for the fresh-faced duo and their consistent industry ascent for 2013.

This week the Firebeatz boys have revealed they have more in common with Calvin Harris than Miami flight snafus. Fresh off the success of “Gangster,” the Dutch duo announced their next track, “Yeahhhh,” will be released on Harris’ Fly Eye Records. Keeping the electro heavy and the intensity up, the preview showcases a downright devastating build that peaks with, of course, a “yeah!” Though only 82 seconds, the teaser leaves us sufficiently teased – the full track will be released April 15th.
Aside from the December release of “Black Thong” with Chris Lake, Michael Woods has been relatively quiet on the release front. Back by popular demand and supported by Calvin Harris and Fly Eye, Woods comes forth with his latest original production, “Platinum Chains.” Originally premiered on his guest mix for Pete Tong last week, “Platinum Chains” is next-level Woods, with his signature percussion intact and synths magnified for a colossal dance record.

London-based Jacob Plant has released a pulsing production with “Shakedown” via Calvin Harris’ Fly Eye Records. Starting the track off with a surging buildup, Plant delivers a dubstep-certified output with plunging bass and electro style. The talented producer transitions from escalating progressions to stabbing synths before unloading crashing sub bass — satisfying dubsteppers and electro enthusiasts alike. A relentless yet infectious offering, “Shakedown” is powerful start to Plant’s year and, with future releases in the works, hopefully only a precursor of what’s to come from the rising producer.
Another highly anticipated production from the studio of Thomas Gold has finally seen the light of day. Following his bonafide anthem “Sing 2 Me,” the German bootleg master presents yet another golden gem in “MIAO.” Wasting no time, the track is introduced with layers of gritty synths and rumbling bass. Relentless through and through, the pounding beat eventually gives relief to an alluring melodic hook. The light piano spell gives anticipation to the return of the bulky, merciless beat which once again serves blow after blow. “MIAO” has been released on Beatport from an unexpected outlet, Calvin Harris’ Fly Eye Records.
