MARK POMPEO & KEVIN KOBILINSKI - DAY (PREVIEW)

Hey everyone! I'm very proud and excited to bring you this preview of my new track "Day" with Kevin Kobilinski! It's a bright, poppy progressive house tune with warm melodies and sounds to close out the summer. I really enjoyed making this because I never did anything in this kind of style before. Very fun to branch out and expand my sound repertoire beyond the darker, heavier stuff I've done previously. Please enjoy, and stay tuned for the full song!

MICHAEL TEIXEIRA, ANDY CALDWELL - SING IT BACK

Michael Teixeira sent me his new track with Andy Caldwell, and it's quite wonderful. Smooth vocals. A happy little melody. I especially love the part at about 1:37 where the guitar comes in. Very nice. Check it out!

LAIDBACK LUKE - CAMBODIA

HOW ARMIN VAN BUUREN SYNCS MUSIC AND VISUALS LIVE

I just wanted to post this video real quick of Armin van Buuren showing his DJ setup and how he and touring VJ sync of the visuals with the music on the fly. There is a disturbing trend of DJs prerecording sets or playing the exact same set every show. They try to justify this by saying it's the only way to synchronize with the light show, and this video shows why that is basically a load of crap. You go Armin.

SANDER VAN DOORN - KANGAROO

I really can't believe this is Sander Van Doorn. There really is nothing this guy can't do. One of the best trance producers (and IMO the best trance DJ) on the planet just made one of the best electro tracks of the year. It's got a classic Sander melody during the break, but then unleashes a furious storm of blips and bleeps that'll give your grandma a heart attack. You do not wanna miss this one. Take a listen above, and buy it on Beatport!

DEPECHE MODE - ENJOY THE SILENCE (SHATO & PAULROCKSEEK BOOTLEG)

I haven't heard a remix of Depeche Mode in quite some time, and it's good to hear a new version of one of their tracks pop up. This is a really nice trancey progressive house track and it's an outstanding tribute to a really pioneering band. The original song is woven in perfectly and somehow a few very random, very brief dubby pieces fit right in there too. Enjoy!

NEW MUSE SINGLE INCORPORATES DUBSTEP ELEMENTS

So "Madness" is the new single from UK rock band Muse, and it's certainly an interesting little experiment. The song features some dubstep-style wobbles under the vocals to cover the bassline, and it's interesting to see those types of noises used in such a subtle, artistic fashion rather than the annoying, in-your-face, womp-womp-womp-ness that we get from straight dubstep tracks. Check it out and share your thoughts!

ELECTRIC ZOO SET TIMES ANNOUNCED

What's up everyone? Earlier today, Electric Zoo posted the set times for this year's festival and fans can now go on the website and create their own personal schedule! I'll be there Saturday Sept. 1st, and I have to say I'm pretty pleased that there aren't too many conflicts between artists that I want to see! Should be a lot less running around than last year lol. My day will start nice and early on the main stage to see my friend DJ Eco and will probably end at the Sunday School tent to see Chris Liebing. Gonna be a great time! You can check out the set times and make your own schedule here. Feel free to share your schedules and who you're most excited for in the comments!

UMEK - CORRIDOR TO JUNGLE

Umek is back with something big here! This track exudes groove from every little nook and cranny. Everything jigsaw puzzles together really well on this track from the bouncy bass line to the rather happy, sing-songy little lead to the intricate percussion patterns. It's simultaneously deep but light and whimsical almost. Very unique sound. Check it out and scoop it off Beatport.

SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT (E-BONIT BOOTLEG)

There are so many great things about this song I'm not quite sure where to start. It's dark, yet groovy. It's infectious and grimy and complex. It feels like it has weight and depth...lots of layers for your ears to absorb. It's also quite amazing how Kurt Cobain's voice can still give chills after all these cheers and translates so well to an adaptation like this. I'm not sure if this is even the right page, but here apparently is E-bonit's Facebook. Not much there unfortunately, so I can't tell you much about him. Check out the song though. It's dope.

NEW DILLON FRANCIS AND JACK BEATS

This track is montstrous. A pretty mild intro and build segues into some bleepy, wobbly, bendy, electro awesomeness. Dillon Francis has really grown and is proving to be one of the biggest breakout stars this year. He's also a really funny guy. Give the track and listen, and grab a copy off Beatport. Enjoy!
