The month of August just got better as young gun Michael Brun has released his "August 2012 Mixtape" jam-packed with some of the best progressive house out there today. Do yourself a favor and download this mix, and be sure to have a look at the tracklist after the jump. This is a true masterpiece from the dorm-room DJ/producer who was born and raised in Haiti and now attends Davidson University in North Carolina. Big things to come from this very talented and creative young'n. I can't wait to see what's in store...
It's been a few weeks since the last Flashback Friday, and for this I apologize but don't worry, it's back in full force this week with 5 great tracks everyone will love. Because of the unexpected break from Flashback Friday, this week I'm focusing less on going way back in time and more on giving you guys semi-old, great tracks that you will enjoy.
HOUSE: "2Night" is a classic track from Eric Prydz that really defined his presence in the world of electronic music. This track came out in 2011, after he had established his dominance but it really knocked the point home, have a listen for yourself and hear how great it is.
MOOMBAHTON: The Grandtheft Bootleg of Tyga's "Rack City" captures the essence of the original "Rack City" but adds a little flavor and bass to create something real spicy. Download it for sure.
DUBSTEP: Bassex's interpretation of Wolfgang Gartner's "The Champ" is quite filthy. Its slowed down and heavy sound makes this a must-have for those who love their dirty dirty. HIP-HOP: In terms of the best contemporary rappers, Curren$y has earned his spot in the conversation with his consistency and clever rhymes. "Audio Dope II" off his Pilot Talk album has a chill beat, and his flow goes great over the steel drum samples. Give it a listen.
WEEKLY WILD CARD: This week's wildcard is a favorite of mine. The Alexander Adstedt Remix of Medina's "Addiction" goes hard. It has a soothing melody and nice beat, and when it drops it explodes into a big-room beauty. Don't miss this heater.
Trance Tuesday returns after an extremely successful week last week, here to give you the best in the growing world of trance music. Up top is Arty's remix for Zedd's "Spectrum", as the young Russian gives it a more trancy feel than we've seen from all the other countless "Spectrum" remixes (see Armin Van Buuren's remix here). Below is another huge track from up and coming producer Audien, whose track "Eventide" was the header for last week's Trance Tuesday. Here we have his latest masterpiece "Unity".
Next is a great new remix of one of my favorites, "Melo" by Pryda the Ashley Wallbridge remix. At about 30 seconds in, the grinding synths come in with a great melody before the real tune comes in and its a true beauty.
"Melo" (Ashley Wallbridge Remix) - Pryda
This next track is a new remix of a somewhat older track, this is the Beat Service remix to LTN's "Never Let Me Go". You may recognize the nice vocals, but just wait until about 1:45 for the amazing synths that this remix has to offer.
Today's house post includes several amazing new tracks that range slightly from smooth and trancey all the way to the more dirty electro side of things, but I assure you they all bring something great to the table. First up is the video above, a preview of Eric Prydz next single "Everyday". Simply put, Eric Prydz, or Pryda as he is now known, has shown that he can do no wrong. After the wildly successful EP "Pryda", he surprised his fans with a small US tour, and now he is set to release even more tracks. As a huge fan of his more mellow, easy-to-listen to style, I can't wait to keep hearing from this Swede.
Here's a big remix from Jacques Lu Cont (aka 3-time Grammy winner Stuart Price) who takes a crack at Coldplay's "Charlie Brown". Definitely a fun one to listen to...
Finally, here's dBerrie's take on Passion Pit's heavily remixed song "Take A Walk". You may recall The M Machine's remix which we featured on here, although the two remixes are different styles, I do prefer The M Machine remix, but download them both and let us know what track you prefer.
