The tandem of Dirty South and Michael Brun proved great chemistry and success after Dragan’s edit of “Rise,” and the guys are finally back at it with a massive collaboration. “Rift” features Dirty South’s signature synths that have become so loved and recognizable, while Brun gives the track it’s melodic backbone. Due to be a staple track in the progressive arena — like most Phazing productions — “Rift” will be released November 26th, so your much needed dose of Dirty South is on its way.
Michael Brun has released a preview for his latest remix, a gentle, melodic take on Those Usual Suspects & Nordean’s “Burn Forever.” Originally debuted by Dirty South on Phazing Radio, the song starts off with a gentle piano melody that puts Erik Hecht’s vocal front and center. The same melody progressively develops, culminating in a drop that has just the right amount of oomph without being too overpowering. No word on when the track will be released, but we’ll keep you posted.
Michael Brun has been a busy man, somehow he toggles being a student at Davidson University and completing tracks alongside Hardwell (“Dawn“) and Dirty South (“Rise“). This time around Michael Brun releases a remix of Charlie XCX’s “Nuclear Seasons,” it is the ultimate progressive sounding track (which means it is damn good), the drop reminds us a little of his previous release of “Dancing.” When you see Dirty South, make sure to keep an eye out for Michael who is now a favorite of Dragan’s crew.

Michael Brun and Special Features’ “Synergy” is officially available after a cool, trippy preview was released last week. The track has a distinctly big-room feel to it, but as we mentioned last week it also bears some resemblance to Afrojack & David Guetta’s “Lunar.” There’s a long escalating progression until it hits the drop, at which point you’re presented with banging synths that aren’t too overbearing but are still big. Brun’s last single “Rise” got a lot of airplay from some big name DJs, and we have a feeling that “Synergy” could see similar success.
