Electro Chunes

My Lakers started off the playoffs right today with winning handily over those Denver Nuggies. My god Bynum. Block more shots please? This got me in the dancing mood as I get into my finals studying, and also gave me some more content to read about while I procrastinate. And when your on that finals grind taking ADD pills your not prescribed to, you need some seriously aggressive new electro chunes (shout out to Pete Tong) to get your self pumped to finally start attempting to reading over your notes that you never really took and actually got from a different kid that actually goes to your class.

On this fine Sunday evening I have 3 fantastic hard electro tracks that will make you temporarily forget about the cottonmouth and fast heart rate you currently are experiencing in the library. Also, Nicky Romero just released a fantastic essential mix on BBC Radio 1. Download links included. Peep the Kobe picture above. You will be making the same face after listening to this first one...

Money remix of "Milita" from Mike Klash & Third Party.


Download Denzal Park Militia (Third Party & Mike Klash Remix)

Protohype has been primarily a dubstep artist thus far in his producing career, but this track "Circuit Break" has a good electro feel. The beginning seems pretty much like his old dubstep but it transitions nicely into a hard hitting electro track.



This third one is really old. The M Machine came out with Metropolis, Pt. 1, an amazing EP that showcases their wide range of electronic music talent. "Promise Me a Rose Garden is from 2011 but it's a song that wasn't as big as it should have been. Pick this one up for sure.



Also here's the Metropolis, Pt. 1 EP link thru Rolling Stone's MP3 player:

http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/exclusive-ep-stream-the-m-machine-metropolis-pt-i-20120423

Lastly, I've got the new essential mix from Pete Tong. We all love him, and we all love Nicky Romero. Nicky has been on a fast track to worldwide fame over the past year. This summer he will be playing main stage at Tomorrowland, and at several other amazing festivals across the globe. He killed his Ultra set and honestly the entire Miami Music Week. His last collab with David Guetta, "Metropolis" was a hit around the EDM scene and his essential mix really encapsulates his true talent. His songs are really original and involve a sound that I wouldn't necessarily call unique, but distiguishable. It's a Dutch sound, like that of Afrojack and Laidback Luke, but with a little less whining sounds and a little more trance and progressiveness. Definitely download this.



Good luck to every body on their finals and get ready for a great summer from VCH. Big things ahead. And go Lakers.

Underrated Tracks with Ted Townsend

Finals are done for Westminster Students in Salt Lake City, Utah. So, that means I'm going to be posting a lot more. The house music keeps coming and coming, sometimes too fast. So today I've got 2012 tracks for you that I personally feel have surfaced, but not received enough recognition. Going to see First State next week at Ruby Skye in San Francisco, so I hope to return with a good review for you guys. Before we dive into these tunes I got for you, I always like to try and incorporate some news about my favorite radio station - Pete Tong on BBC Radio 1, (catch it live on Friday nights, and for seven days after it airs - for free stream!) Pete features Nicky Romero and Cedric Gervais on this most recent episode. Be sure to have a listen here: BBC Radio 1 w/ Pete Tong ft. Nicky Romero & 15 minutes of Fame w/ Cedric Gervais (<== One of the songs is being featured at the end of this post!)

Michael Woods, who I have seen live several times now, has got to be high on the list for most underrated house producers. This England native continues to put out hit after hit. (Airborne, No Access & Last Day On Earth are a few more recent ones to pay attention too if you missed them!) These two songs I got for you today are quite recent and I haven't heard them anywhere! Maybe it's because Michael Woods just picked up a new residency in San Francisco and the Americans aren't comfortable playing talent like his in their own sets! Either way, please enjoy "I Wish" & Warrior - Michael Woods.

Definitely returning with some Mord Fustang! As much as his UMF live performance weirded me out a little, he continues to be my top electro house producer. (/progressive? It's impossible to label spot on these days! Oh well, when I want something more electro-sounding, he's my guy.) He was given the Beatport Award "Breakthrough Artist of the Year," and he deserves it. His newest track Super Fever, it's classic Mord Fustang, it's been debuted and oddly, I haven't seen the social networks out of control on it! I hope you enjoy this one.

I've been a Chris Lake fan for quite some time now, I think he is one of the best DJs in the world. His producing is always top shelf; he's a humble Scot (even though he considers himself a brit - his favorite drink is Iron Bru - that's spoken like a true Scot!) I don't know how he ended up working with Lazy Rich on this track, but when this dropped I was playing it nonstop. Lazy Rich remixed Lake's "Sundown" and my guess is that it was good enough that Chris chose to make a track with him officially. Underrated track #4 today - "Stand Alone"

Finally, it's not underrated, but it was heard just recently on Pete Tong's Radio 1 show. New Thomas Gold! He's one of the hottest producers on the planet right now, and is practically family with the Size Matters clan, who seems to be killing the Beatport Top 10 with some single every time I look at it. (Make "Atom" #1 people!) This track however, is actually to be released on Refune records, I'm excited, you should be too. Here it is, remixing Miike Snow, Thomas Gold's version of "The Wave."

Hope you guys continue having a great weekend, shout outs to the boys at VCH, we're all doing our best to bring you some great music! Until next time,

Georgetown Day...!!!!

I know the majority of the RBs who read this blog go to Trinity. Thats sweet and all but today is Georgetown day and that makes this possibly the greatest day of the year. The plan is to donse, get funky and hopefully a little weird. Here are a couple jams to help everyone live the dream. Hoya Style.

Tiesto and Hardwell? you bet. Young Blood? cant loose.

The Naked & Famous - Young Blood (Tiesto & Hardwell Remix)

Im Sorry, Im Not Sorry.

Archie feat. Anna Yvette - No Apologies (Original Mix)

Yeah Gorgetown "Why cant you realize, we're fighting for our life!"

Moral of the story, don't let the man hold you down.

Do me proud Hoyas.

Mixtape Thursdays

Big shout out and thank you to the bros at Vaya Con House for welcoming me in to the family. We are brewing exciting ideas for the brand moving forward.

I've been a big fan of electronic music for the past few years. It started off with listening to a house mix by DJ Disciple (to all house music lovers, you have to check him out). From that moment on, I was hooked.

So with "Mixtape Thursdays", I will post up a mixtape (recorded live) every Thursday to get you ready for the weekend! I will compile the latest tunes together with the classics to bring you an hour of seamless electronic music bliss. My style of mixing is more towards Open Format, which means any genre goes. So don't be surprised if you're head-banging to some electro and then wobbling to some dubstep and back to some uplifting progressive sound.

But to kick things off this Thursday, I bring you my Spring Weekend 2012 mix. Show some love, check it out.

Spring Weekend 2012 by Elroy Leong on Mixcloud

Project 46?

So i have had my ears perked up for this cat ever since he did work on Avicii's Masterpiece "Enough is Enough"  (click link and experience it) and now wouldn't you believe it, his newest track is in the top 10 on beatport. I got an ear, what can i say. Solid Progressive bomb that should get the ze babies going.

DJ Profile: Brady Britten

Brady is a good friend of mine who has been causing a scene down in DC opening for world famous DJ's at the famous Club Glow and playing parties at GWU. He's a guy who's on his shit about house and I thought I'd check up on him and see how life was going:

VCH: What does it take to prepare for a gig?

Brady: Usually Farid [a fellow GW student] and I chill for a few hours and come up with a playlist, we try to keep it flexible and usually practice the mix a couple times just to get it sharp before we play it live

VCH: What's your setup right now?

Brady: Right now we use a Maschine controller a laptop and a Traktor Audio 10 sound card. I use the Maschine to control 4 virtual decks from Traktor and pipe it into each mixer channel. I chose the Maschine because it's modular and I can fit it in my dorm room, I didn't want to get the s4 because I personally am not a fan of the filters and I wanted to keep my DJM effects section.

VCH: What has been your most memorable experience thus far?

Brady: So far the most fun that I've had was the spontaneous Sigma Chi frat party that we showed up to and played at. It was a pretty wild time, the gear almost fell off the piece of plywood that we were using as a table like 4 or 5 times and I was cleaning alcohol out of the Maschine for hours when I got home.

VCH: Plans for the future?

Brady: I'm really looking forward to producing my own tracks. I just started learning Logic Pro and so far it's going pretty well.

VCH: Three songs VCH readers should know?

Brady:

Be sure to check out the tracks I will be producing with Brady this summer.

Aggressively Progressive Tuesday 2.0

APT is back with fresh heaters to get you through the weekend and well into the weekend. Lets get back to straight to business, the picture above sums up what Aggressively Progressive Tuesdays and VayaConHau5 is all about. Beats, babes and questionable morals.

Tony Junior - Feelin' Kinda Strange

Baggie Begovic? Yeah i don't have a clue, but don't be surprised if the this track gets big support by some big names. But seriously this track is gonna crush the dance floor.

Baggi Begovic - Freefalling

Trance:Magic

No matter what you call the magic these days, Trance, Trouse, Progressive Trance or whatever, it is still the quintessential make me feel okay music. My main gripe with Trance, and EDM in general, is that it lacks soul at times. But these 3 tracks got that missing piece. Just turn your shit up, close your eyes for 15-20 minutes and go into a different world. 

Gareth Emery is my main dude behind these two tracks. Concrete Angel is magical, Christina Novell makes it rain but remember #bepatient this is trance

Download Gareth Emery, Christina Novelli Concrete Angel feat. Christina Novelli (Original Mix)

And Pixel Cheese adds some extra sauce to this dope track. this is more trouse (trance/house or whatever) but i dont really care it is magic

Download Gareth Emery Tokyo (Pixel Cheese Remix)

Armin Van Buuren and Ferry Corsten....Remember you impatient ravebabies this is trance #patience


Download Armin van Buuren, Ferry Corsten Brute feat. Armin Van Buuren (Original Extended Mix)

I've never seen you like this before

Sup RBs I after much testing i have certified these two next tunes straight fire. Don't let the beautiful lady above distract you from the name of the game. Loose yourself for in these electro bangarangs. Tiesto and Swanky Tunes affair is straight amazing. give it a listen, they mix ze crunches on the bass with dopeeee vocals perfectly. And Fire Inside is....well just listen and the title makes perfect sense.

Don't be that guy...play em loud

DJ profile: MADEON

In my mind, French kid house producer Hugo Pierre Leclercq, known by stage name Madeon, is 100% the best new artist of the last year. He recently landed gigs at Coachella, Lollapalooza, Ultra, and has played at renowned night clubs across the world. But he's only 17 years old... it's craaaazy! This kid brings such an original sound to the scene as well. I would describe it as a mix of Daft Punk, Porter Robinson, and Calvin Harris. It's funky yet it slaps, and very original, if that makes any sense. Almost all of songs are available for free download. Keep an eye out for this Bro. I can promise you right now that he will be world famous in a few years tops. I don't know a single person who hasn't liked his music. I've posted some of his best tracks but honestly, they are all sooo good. Check all of them out.

All songs listed below have download buttons attached to the media player.

P.S. does he not look like he's at a Bar-Mitzvah in that picture? Kid looks younger than my 11 year old brother.

"Icarus" peaked at #22 on the UK billboard charts. This is probably his most famous song.



Madeon's "Raise Your Weapon" remix is flawless. It was featured on Pete Tong's Radio One a couple months ago. It puts a great funky/dancy spin on the original by Deadmau5.



"DJ (Madeon Remix)" is INCREDIBLE. It doesn't have any huge drops, but it will definitely get people dancing. It's such a feel good song.



Lastly, I've got one of Madeon's true masterpieces. He remixed Yelle's "Que Veux Tu" beautifully. This song honestly just brings me happiness through my speakers. I don't know how Madeon does it. He is gonna be Huge. Mark my word.

WobbleCity Wednesday

Everybody, I would like to debut the first Wednesday in which I provide you with 5 great Dubstep/wobbly songs that you can get used to for the weekend, like when your about to go out and want to get fired up with that one last pregame song. Some of these are more melodic than others, some of these are electric. Definitely turn up the bass and volume full blast for all of them though. Enjoy fellerz...

First is "Choose Me" by Xilent, a music producer who just started trying his hand at dubstep. His early attempt is pretty dank.



Second is my personal favorite of all 5, "Relapse" ft. Sam Nafie, by ShockOne. Never heard of this guy before this track but its dope. Hit the download arrow on the player to get the track.



Third, I have a chill dub song. You all probably know Deadmau5's "Aural Synapse", a trancy and trippy track. Mr. Fijiwiji (who the fuck is that, but the song is good) put out a dope remix that retains Deadmau5 original trance feeling but it has a good dub beat. Give it a listen.



Fourth, I have a classic one. "Death" remix by Chase & Status is awesome. It is melodic yet hard-hitting, involves classic vocals from the original track, and is sure to get your head bobbing slow.



And lastly, the newest dubstep remix from the accomplished Funkagenda... "Buzz Killington" remix is nice. It's similar to "Choose Me" by Xilent, showing a good melodic progression but also has the wobbles you need.



It's gonna be a great 4/20. Enjoy

Let's Go Play in The Water

 

IT IS FINALLY HERE. The song to end all songs. The sultan of synth. I, like many other Dada Life fans have waited years for this song to come out and today is the day "Rolling Stone T-Shirt" is out for the public good. These guys have played it almost every big gig they've had the past few years and it never lets us down so the high quality version ready for download now surely will not be a failure.So let's go play in the water... just don't lose my rolling stone t shirt:

#YouGonnLearnToday

Ted Townsend's House music for the weekend!

It's Saturday, which means if you're partying tonight, if you're doing homework - whatever it may be, I got music for you to listen to while you do it. Between Chuckie's Residency show on BBC Radio 1, Hardwell's newest On Air, David Guetta's brand new Sirius XM mix that just went up and of course, the Soundclouds, Twitter and Facebook feeds that your boys at Vaya Con House never stop checking in on - this is music you're going to want in your music library (whether they're released or not - I know you'll find a way!)

           First off, my favorite DJ/producer Afrojack: As many of you know, he's great friends with David Guetta... apparently taught the Frenchman to produce... anyway, David Guetta just dropped his newest  F*ck Me I'm Famous mix yesterday on Sirius XM and no surprise he's been given a banger from his close buddy - the third track ID is Afrojack & R3hab's newest (untitled) banger that many of us heard for the first time during Afrojack's set at Ultra Music Festival. Only that time Lil Jon's voice was heard throughout it... Here's the link to the entire mix, it's a great mix, tracklist is on there too. A clear and crisp sound of Afrojack & R3hab's new banger to come (ID). If you're not feeling the other tracks - just fast forward, it lets you! Afrojack plans to release an album this September according to his interview with Rolling Stone, if it's full of tracks like this, I believe we'll have one hell of masterpiece to buy. Afrojack & R3hab - ID original mix (unreleased)

Next I got a youngin' remix - real talk, this guy, I believe is 18.. 19, he's young, and he's already made a big name for himself as an up and coming, big room house producer. Clockwork - pretty cool name, and he's supported by the big names, you name it - Tiesto, Aoki, Laidback Luke... the list goes on. Love this remix he did to Canadian superstar Felix Cartal's "Black to White ft. Miss Palmer." He made a beautiful song a banger - and kept it beautiful. Enough said, listen to this one!






      Now I'm a big fan and supporter of BBC Radio 1. England's popular free radio where there's great music playing on the air constantly. I tend to just listen to Pete Tong's show for the lovely house that gets played every Friday night, but I keep up to date with the website as a whole and Dutch star, DJ Chuckie has a new show! Chuckie Residency on BBC Radio 1, loved what I heard! Highly recommended, if you don't believe me listen here: CHUCKIE RESIDENCY 2 hours, all his pickings, range of electronic music genres in there, and you can hear 95% of all the songs separately with play buttons provided.

Alright finally, and yeah I'm wrapping this one up because I've just given you over 3 hours of music! Take advantage of it! By the way, if you're following Coachella at all, the 3 day music festival taking place right now in Indio, California that's being streamed live on Youtube, you'll be just as upset as I am that they didn't stream all of Swedish House Mafia's set! Nope, today they put up an almost 7 minute video of their performance... and it wasn't even new music... damn Youtube! Oh well, Nicky Romero hit 100k LIKEs on facebook this past week and gave away a free track, download here:



Tension (Vocal Mix)

Last but not least, my favorite (I know, I have a lot of favorites, but I'm an aspiring DJ/Producer myself what did you expect??) record label, Size Records, is on top of Beatport right now with the newest track created by Nari & Milani, two Italian producers. Listen to this bomb 'Atom'! Released on Beatport 5 days ago!

 Atom (Original Mix) - Nari & Milani

Alright guys, I'm out of here! Enjoy the tunes, share the love (and VayaConHouse URL), stay tuned for more as always!

Innauguration of Funky Friday

The weekend has finally come which means for you well behaved ones out there this is when you change modes into deviancy and blasphemy. Well, now VCH has your disco and house chunes to rid you of your reservations and manners with the best remedy known to man: funk. Check out these records and get your ass on the dance floor:

Lenno is growing in the music scene and is taking control of his own destiny with originals and remixes like this remix of the ever popularly remixed "The Night Out" by Martin Solveig. Peronsally my favorite remix to date (yea, that include's A-Trak's rework):



My man Viceroy turned me onto the Geisha Twins and I am forever thankful of that. These two guys really know how to show a good time. Check out this new feel good remix:




Alex Metric just came out with his new EP Ammunition and it surely packs a punch. This some real uplifting stuff. If you gotta loosen that neck tie, it's going to be to "Anybody Else":


Download Alex Metric Anybody Else (Original Mix)

What would a funky friday be without some Treasure Fingers? Those high hats are just the epitome of disco. Then add some soulful vocal samples and you have yourself another Treasure Fingers track in this original "Take My Hand":



Gigamesh, a Minnesota native, is always a promising choice when looking to get the night going with a little groove. Check out this remix of "Guide Me":



If you have heard of Tube & Berger, the german duo, well, now you have. :



Here is a Jacques Renault remix of "I Walked Alone". Believe it or not despite his french sounding name this guy is American born and bred, hooah:



And to close out the night I present to you my new favorite duo coming out of the UK, The 2 Bears. These guys are just so much fun to listen to, if you disagree you may want to check into a psychiatric ward:

Asian Jesus

Google Image "Asian Jesus" and the second picture is of Steve Aoki.  The dude straight up looks like Jesus and with the songs that he's been dropping recently, the name is totally justified.  Plus he's just insane, whether it's live or the songs... the guy is just crazy.  Bassnectar has a sound that can't be replicated or changed and Aoki just chose to make a remix of one of his best songs "Red Step."  Terrible idea right?  Wrong.

His performances are crazy beyond belief. They don't just have him playing his awesome songs but he just jumps around, crowd surfs on a raft or a mattress and just tons of other weird things.  I watched his entire set from Ultra and all I could think was when can I see this dude.

Recently Aoki has been making some of the sickest songs with the biggest names in music.  Tornado with Tiesto, Turbulance with Laidback Luke, and No Beef with Afrojack are just some of the huge tracks that he has been playing. But I'm not going to play those because they already get enough attention.  Why not add the sound of LMFAO's vocals with Steve Aoki's tracks?

Steve just came out with a music video to his new track Cudi The Kid last friday feat. Kid Cudi and Travis Barker. The track is hit or miss, but no one can disagree that the video is purely insane (added by Ryan)

The only real way to end this is by playing this track. While the Project X commercials might have overplayed this song, it's still pretty epic.

Some Risky Business

If you haven't heard of Alvin Risk yet, you should now. He's a newcomer to the scene but has already put out some killer remixes to artists including Fun., Kaskade, Kill the Noise and Steve Aoki. His #1 track has to be the remix to Diminishing Returns that has been played by the likes of Skrillex and Steve Aoki. You can't really define his sound but it lies somewhere between Electro, Moombahton, Dubstep and D&B. Whatever it is, he goes out hard. 

He also came out with a new remix of We Are Young by Fun. It rocks the house pretty hard as well:

Oh, and by the way, he's opening for Kaskade's US Tour this summer, and playing at Electric Forest.

I'm sorry, I only speak American

I'm so proud of my fellow American Porter Robinson. Ever since Spitfire dude has been crushing subs all over the place. He even had me take some time to reconsider my feelings towards dubstep and heavvy electro house (it makes me feel weird). Porter has my back tho, his newest release is right in my wheelhouse.  Language is fresh and nasty, and really it's Porter Light but not like Bud Light, this is like Heinekin light but American and cooler.

Language (Original Mix) - Porter Robinson

Bonus: From the God's of DutchHau5 I bring you Gladiator. Oliver Twizt is one of my favorite artists, super versatile and I will do a mini expose on the bro later but here is a taste of his colab with Sandro Silva.  #yourwelcome

Gladiator (Original Mix) - Oliver Twizt & Sandro Silva

Getting You Up To Speed

Today I've got some new tracks for you that are all relatively new. I've been listening to these non-stop today and I couldn't wait to throw them up on VCH so you all could do the same thing as me... give them a good listen, these are probably gonna be songs you hear at the top of the EDM charts in the next month or two.

First is David Guetta and Nicky Romero's new song, "Metropolis". They released a preview a few weeks back, but it only had about 30 seconds of the drop. This is the full released track, finally. It reminds me of Axwell's remix of "Resurrection"a lot. Downloadable too:

Next is Tiesto and Wolfgang Gartner's new track, "We Own the Night". Whenever Tiesto and Wolfgang come together to make a collab, you don't even have to listen before you download... for example "I Will Be Here" being one of the greatest EDM tracks of all time...

Third is a track that is sort of old but it was also kind of unknown due to a quiet release. G.Reg made the mashup "Walking Alone Aural Psynapse", and it's exactly what the name sounds like, Dirty South's "Walking Alone" and Deadmau5's "Aural Psynapse" fused into tempo. The Walking Alone lyrics honestly sound amazing with Psynapse's build up. Great idea by G.Reg.

Fourth is a new track from hard hitting specialists Chris Lake and Lazy Rich. "Stand Alone" has a melodic and vinyl sounding buildup but quickly transitions into a bass-filled, aggressive song. Good party song w/download link.

hau5 music from G

You might ask yourself, "Who is that handsome devil up there?". Very good question,  he (me) is vaya con hau5's newest purveyor of  beats. Here is a sampling of the fresh little tunes that you can expect from this guy.

I know I know Avicii, Avicii, Avicii, but you can't fight the fact that Timmy B. is a straight G in the studio. His lil colab with madonna is straight sex. btw ive been follow this swede forever and he's not goin anywhere.



Kaskade is doing the game dirty. Kaskade makes Usher actually sound good, dude is a genius with vocals. And If your in the greater North America area this summer watch out for his Freaks of Nature tour.



And  Cedric Gervais's brings ya this fresh tune with some suggestive lyrics. It has a very similar sound to Nicky Romero's Generation 303 but slightly fresher. But side note, I have been sober for two years and I am missing the boat on who this molly character is. Sounds like she's a fun chick.

#DonseravebabiesDonse

Start Your Week Right w/Mario Larrea

Okay. Mario Larrea, the Spanish born DJ (currently lives in Manhattan) who has been killing it recently, dropped one of the tracks of the year. I'm not just saying that either. This song could potentially be as huge as last year's "Pressure"or "Feel So Close" or something along those lines. It has a perfect build up with smooth female vocals and then an anthem drop that is sure to get you fucking womping. Larrea released his remix of Serge Devant's "Dice" about 3 weeks ago, but this song is wayyy too good to leave off VayaConHouse. Give it a good listen.



Also, this song was released late February so I know it's kinda old, but I forgot to post it. It's very post-worthy though. R3hab straight killin it:



Enjoy fellerz

Aural Destruction

As the spring time weather developes and responsibilities lighten, the ravehead in all of us seems to come out to play a little more often than he did during the colder dreadful months of the year. To me, two types of dance music become king during these feel good months: disco and electro house. I've been giving plenty of disco lately and with Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike coming to barça this week, I'm gonna stick with the electro synthed goodness for you all to enjoy on your Thursday through Sunday agenda (or Tuesday through Sunday if you are truly savage). A couple of great tracks released this week that are VCH approved so enjoy:

Chuckie continues to grow as an EDM figure and this preview for his new track "Electro Dude" gives you some perspective on house the Dutch kid is taking over. He's kept true to his sound all along and it is finally really paying off:



What would an electro post be without a Cazzette bootleg? It's like having a heart with three valves instead of four. I especially love this new bootleg of the NWA classic "Straight Outta Compton" because it has some serious attitude that would even Eazy-E would quiver over in his grave:



Gregori Klossman has been propelling himself to the mainstage of Electro House for a while now. His remixes such as his re-work of the Gaga single "Americano" as well as his originals such as "I am the Law" don't ask for your approval, because they are going to destroy your ears either way. So why not spend an hour listening to it?

Though I had a great time in Rome last week I think a part of my heart is missing after missing out on Hardwell in Barcelona last week. Any chance you get to see him is an opportunity that can't be missed. This new remix of Rihanna's hit single "Where Have You Been?" only makes my heart throb more. Damn you Hardwell... damn you:



At least I can remedy the pain of missing Hardwell by proudly stating that I saw Nicky Romero here in Barcelona and he destroyed the club. He dropped this new track "Tension" at the gig and the crowd immediately fell in love:



Looking back less than a year from now Tommy Trash was amongst a group of up and coming artists coming into form. Fast forward to now and the Australian native has re-defined electro house. This remix of Nicky Romero's record "Toulouse" shows his signature 'trashed' style:



I've been waiting for this next one by Firebeatz for a while. "Miniman" is sure to be a classic. I don't want to undermine the song since I'm not sure there are words in any official language to give the energy this song provides justice. Just check it out:
