Sunday Sunsets

The summer is well underway. I'm trying to figure out, whose going to Ibiza this summer? It gets crazier every summer; it's the mecca for clubbing. Hopefully, I'll find myself there next August (2013)  with the rest of the writers experiencing it for the first time ourselves. If any of you readers happen to be going this year and would like to share your story with the VayaConHouse blog, please write to tes1016@westminstercollege.edu and we'll be happy to put it on the site! Anyway, with Electric Daisy Carnival happening in the desert of Nevada, and festivals popping up almost every weekend, it's no surprise summer in the states seems to consist of house music everywhere. Seeing Avicii myself at the end of the month here in Salt Lake City and Kaskade next month. Plan for stellar reviews on those. For now, I'm going to give you guys the solid house tunes I love to bring yall every time I write. Today I have some Joe Garston, Tiesto, Max Vangeli, Funkagenda, Hardwell, Pete Griffiths, another Pryda tune off the newest album and an episode of Toolroom Records TV for you at the end.

Beatport #3, Joe Garston with his Xone DX making splash in today's scene of up and comers. He's a youngin' alright. And his smash single is out now. Start your listening, right here - with "Forever."

(***Author's pick of the post***) Mark Knight releases Ibiza 2012 vol. 1 finally! Here's Funkagenda's contribution to the mix. One of the best tracks I've heard in 2012 by far, when it gets to it's peak you will not regret a thing - promise you. Enjoy Funkagenda's newest tune, "FYSB."

Same mix, new DJ, another brilliant tune. Pete Griffiths with his newest track "Elara." The Beatport top 10 knows him well. He holds a residency at my all time favorite club, Ministry of Sound in London, UK. He's young and talented. Expect to hear a lot more from this guy.

Yes, I, Ted Townsend, enjoy an Afrojack tune like none other. So, when other people touch his work, you'll almost never see or hear of me touching the play button. Fortunately, Tiesto has a legendary enough reputation that I gave this remix a listen. I didn't regret it. Enough said - here's Tiesto's remix to Nick Van De Wall's "Can't Stop Me Now" ft. Shermanology.

Hardwell banger alert - tell me you don't have a grin on your face right now. Speaking of Tiesto, here's his protege with his newest release "Three Triangles."

Now, I've never been a fan of the way this guy dresses, but that initial judgement lasted about 5 minutes. When I saw him live in San Francisco - Max Vangeli's home city, I understood what good house really is. Big room kinda guy; we're all still waiting on his album "People of the Night" to release already, with his close buddy AN21. Their newest single "H8RS," currently number 5 on the Beatport chart speaks loud and clear for what we can expect from the album. Fortunately for you readers, I'm giving you the amount of Max Vangeli yall deserve. Not 1 track, not two - but an entire mix from Vangeli himself, featuring special guest Junior Sanchez. If you're new to Vangeli, definitely suscribe to his free itunes podcast. He features a guest on every episode!

Pryda may keep himself heavily underground, but when his album "Pryda" dropped the entire electronic music community was well aware. He's a genius, he makes it seem easy the way he can produce a track at the drop of a hat. Turn up the bass on this one; as usual, he maximizes. Here's Eric Prydz with "Sunburst."

That's all for today guys (and gals we hope!) Enjoy good music, thank you for reading the site, it means a ton if you're benefiting from our selections. Until next time.
