VATO GONZALEZ COMMUNITY ARMY OF BASTARDS MIXTAPE 2

Vato Gonzalez is back with the second edition of the Army of Bastards mixtape series.

TOP TRACKS OF 2012

Hello everyone! It took me a couple of weeks, but I've finally finished putting together my top tracks of 2012! These are my favorite tracks from last year, and with the exception of my track of the year, they are in no particular order. I did not want to rank them simply because there's so much variety of styles in here that trying to make an objective decision on which is better is just silly. These are simply my 20 favorite tracks of the year. Popularity was not a factor in selections. I considered things like artistry, originality, emotional impact, and just my own personal enjoyment. So without futher delay, here are my top tracks of 2012!! Click on the song titles to listen/download. Enjoy!

J Nitti feat. Shirley Davis - Deep Down (Luigi Rocca Remix)

MARK POMPEO & KEVIN KOBILINSKI - DAY (ORIGINAL MIX)

Hey guys. I wanted to end the year by finally sharing the full track of my song "Day" with Kevin Kobilinski. You're gonna enjoy it quite a bit. Happy New Year everyone!

SHADOW CHILD - SO HIGH (HOT SINCE 82 REMIX)

Holy shit this is my first post in a long time. I heard this track today and 100% had to share it. This track has groove. It has soul. It makes you wanna move. It's really everything a good house track should be. I know this is pretty short for my first post in so long, but this is one where I really just wanna let the music speak for itself. Buy it on Beatport.

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!

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!
Depeche Mode - Enjoy the Silence (SHato & Paul Rockseek Bootleg)

THE ISLAND OF AMAROK (DRASEN & AROL MASHUP)

My oh my is this a good mashup. "Amarok" is a really good song on its own, but those vocals from "The Island" really elevate it to another level. You know a mashup is something special when it doesn't even sound like a mashup, when the songs are such perfect compliments that someone who doesn't know either original track would never guess that it's a mashup. And that's exactly what we have here. Enjoy!

TWO NEW REMIXES FROM HUGE EUGE

Hey everyone. My buddy Eugene Veltman, a.k.a. Huge Euge, is back with two killer new remixes! In general, Euge has been on a tear lately. Winning the Richard Durand vs. The World North America Competition, spinning at some of the best clubs in NYC including Pacha, and now these two fantastic tracks. In Eugene's own words, "I was once on my path to becoming a brain surgeon. Now I am blowing the minds of anyone who will listen." I couldn't put it any better myself. Both of these remixes are for contests on Beatport so make sure to vote!

This first remix of Sander Van Doorn's "Chasin" is exactly what a good remix should be. It highlights the best parts of the original track and then warps it into something different and distinct and unique. Euge flaunts the familiar melodies and notes of "Chasin" at us, puts on them on string right in front of us and teases us with them in the just the right way for the right amount of time and then yanks them away to hit us with a distorted, grizzled electro monster of a beat.

VOTE HERE for Sander Van Doorn - Chasin (Huge Euge Remix)

Next up is his remix for Zedd feat. Matthew Koma - "Spectrum" which is absolutely off the wall. I've got to go bold here and say this is the kind of high-quality remix I'd expect to here from the likes of Hardwell. Seriously, if I didn't know this was Huge Euge and had to guess who did the remix, Hardwell would probably be my guess. It's got that kind of style to it, which is very impressive. The way this drop hits after the whole mellow, melodic break down is so expertly executed, and the entire song is just a well-crafted vessel of joy for your ears. So give both of the tracks a listen and be sure to rock that vote to help Huge Euge on his rise to the top.

UMMET OZCAN - THE BOX

Wow. What can I say about this track. Mind-blowing and breathtaking? Ok breathtaking may be too strong or just not the right word. Let's just say this track does seem to keep you on your toes. It's a pretty masterful structure where each new section brings something interesting and unique to the mix in a pretty impressive fashion. Ummet Ozcan is a producer from Netherlands, originally born in Turkey, known for large scale epic trance creations. This one has a bit more progressive house style to it and some clear electro elements, but grand and epic are still two words that come to mind here. Absolutely check this one out and scoop it up off Beatport ASAP!

NUCLEAR SEASONS (MICHAEL BRUN REMIX)

Got a big, big track here from Michael Brun. Great structure. Great incorporation of the vocals. My only complaint here is I would've liked to hear that big, fat fucking bassline from the intro featured on the main beat for something darker and dirtier rather than going with a melodic lead. Nonetheless, all around excellent production. Released today, June 15th, on Asylum Record, but Michael was awesome enough to give a free download! Grab your copy from the Soundcloud player above or you can also download it from his Facebook page. Enjoy!

GLOWING IN THE DARK

What's up folks? Just got this preview from Adrien Mezsi, and man am I digging the sound of this. This drop is a real killer and I really like the melody during the break. The build is very well constructed too the way it creates tension before screeching to a halt before hitting us with the main beat. No word on a release date for the full track. Enjoy!

SENDING MY LOVE VS. TONIGHT

Big, big, big bomb ass bootleg from R3hab that he released through his Facebook. The two tracks work really well together and it makes for one great ride all the way through. I'm a little confused by the name because I thought the name of the Axwell & Ingrosso track the vocals are from was called "Together" not "Tonight". Regardless you should check this out. This one just one a few bootlegs he released as part of his EDC 2012 Bootleg Pack which I've also given the link to. Enjoy!

WE OWN THE TROLL RESURRECTION

My friend Eugene Veltman, better known as Huge Euge, came through yet again with a massively raging mashup.  There's enough mix of styles in here to appeal to a lot of people.  It's got some electro, some melody, some vocals...you're gonna love it.  Also, congratulations to Eugene for recently winning the Richard Durand vs. The World competition's North American leg.  His song with Richard will be released May 21st on Blackhole Recordings so be sure to check it out!!

TITANIUM

My buddy Eugene just put out this killer bootleg of David Guetta's "Titanium".  I'm watching the Rangers game right now so I'm not gonna write much.  Just check it out.  Note that the download in the Soundcloud player is for a WAV file.  I've uploaded an mp3 download below.

HEARTBEAT (OCCHI MARRONI REMIX)

Just taking a quick break from studying to share this with you.  It's dope.  Check it out.

ONCE UPON A TIME (ADRIEN MEZSI REMIX) PREVIEW

This remix sounds epic!!  Featured on Tiesto's Club Life 264, this new track from Adrien Mezsi is absolutely righteous.  I've always loved the vocals from the original of this track and they're featured on build here in great style.  Very well-incorporated.  They are then followed by a really fantastic beat with a beautiful little melody.  It's awesome.  The full track will be released on May 29th on Subliminal Records.  Enjoy!

MULTIVERSE

So ever since I did that Beyonce remix contest, I've been following this underground producer named Planet Soul, and I think it's time I finally share one of his tracks with you.  This guy or gal or group, whoever they are, are massively talented and their productions are seriously top notch.  Take this nice progressive track "Multiverse" for example.  The whole flow and progression from the intro into the melodic parts of the break into the awesome, hard-hitting drop...it's all superbly done.  Definitely keep your eyes peeled for more of Planet Soul in the future.  The talent they display is simply too great to ignore!
