Henry Steinway lives something of a double life. On the one hand alluring the house world as Clockwork with his agressive live sets and creative bootleg packs, Steinway has simultaneously enraptured the trap world under the moniker RL Grime. Taking a step back from the massive trap anthems of his alter ego, Steinway has dropped his first Clockwork EP since Titan.
While recently Clockwork has been something of a bootleg mastermind, it’s easy to forget his rip-roaring production abilities. It’s been a while since Clockwork has released some original material, but the wait has certainly paid off; Clockwork’s new Surge EP is shaping up to be some of his best work yet.
Teaming up with the talented Wynter Gordon for “Surge,” the A-side to the EP, Clockwork has created an alluring original that is both fantastically funky and unquestionably charming. “Tremor,” the B-side to the EP, is equally enticing, making use of a flavorful electro house drop and a swirling, synth-laden build up. Clockwork stays true to his “big bad bassline” mantra with his forthcoming Surge EP. Stay tuned for the official release on February 12th, and click past the break to hear both tracks.
After having success with his original track “Bong” and producing a solid remix to “Spectrum,” “Follow You” is Deniz Koyu’s latest uplifting production. The track is accentuated by Wynter Gordon’s silky vocals shining through Deniz’s finely-crafted beat. Koyu may not be as prolific as some other producers in the game just yet, but his arsenal is one of quality rather than quantity — a shining example of an artist meticulously practicing his craft.

After the strong release of “Feel” and one of the most notable remixes of “Otherside,” Third Party has proven their ability to produce dramatic, emotional tracks. Such talents have earned them the attention of dance-pop vocalist Wynter Gordon, who has called upon the duo to remix her latest single, “Still Getting Younger.” Their always-sweeping synths and big room chords sync perfectly with Wynter’s original vocals. Just a few short months into 2012 and Gordon’s vocals have already been featured on tracks from the likes of Laidback Luke and Steve Aoki. However, this latest single highlights the singing that made her so famous in the first place.
Third Party’s remix will be included in the “Still Getting Younger” package, which also features a remix from Esquire and a vocal dub from Belocca; coming your way May 7th.
Steve Aoki is one of the more polarizing figures in dance music today. The purists hate him – to them he represents everything that is wrong in the scene. The kids love him – they show up in droves, ready to be pummeled in the face with cake and maced with champagne. To me, Steve Aoki is electronic punk music: it’s The Warped Tour with synthesizers, it’s EDM for the younger generation. Mosh pits and crowd surfing rarely, if ever, accompany a DJ set but they are guaranteed during one of Steve’s. His productions are simple, catchy, and highly contagious just like the punk acts that predated him (and defined many of our teenage years.) And just like those acts – I can’t help but enjoy it.
Here is the official music video for Laidback Luke and Wynter Gordon’s “Speak Up,” which was released a couple weeks back on Mixmash Records. The duo’s second collaboration features a drum-heavy introduction and a big thumping Dutch synth drop, all beautifully accented by Wynter’s vocals. In the video, Wynter has captured EDM’s favorite superhero in a likely futile attempt to steal his superpowers. Stay tuned for remixes from Chris Lake, Mark Knight, Oliver Twizt, Moska and Das Kapital out March 26th. If you’re in Miami today, be sure to stop by the Mixmash Pool Party with Laidback Luke & Friends at National Miami.
Laidback Luke’s remix of “Dirty Talk” by Wynter Gordon is one of his more iconic tracks, so we were expecting nothing but greatness from their collaboration “Speak Up.” Did the pair deliver? Well… yes and no. The beat has three distinct parts – a drum-heavy introduction, a softer bridge, and an all-out Dutch assault that sounds a whole lot like “Do The Robot.” Gordon’s vocals are seductive as ever, but seem mismatched with the aggressive third part of the beat. All told, Luke’s “Speak Up” sounds more like a remix than an original, which leaves us very interested to hear what the forthcoming remix package – which features Chris Lake, Mark Knight, Oliver Twizt, Moska and Das Kapital – has to offer.
