What is it with Nate Dogg samples in dance music tracks lately? SNBRN incorporated one from the late rapper's "Gangsta Walk" into one of his tropical/future house hybrids of its namesake last month, but Wax Motif has repurposed it as a wobble-heavy bass house track in his new remix.
Jauz has been on a roll lately. With The Friendzy Tour now in full swing, it's becoming more and more evident that he put in some major studio time before kicking it off - as evidenced by the wealth of music he just debuted live.
Another day, another main stage massacre on the senses. Jewelz & Sparks aren't exactly a game-changing act to begin with, and their latest track, "Drip," is just as devoid of substance as anything else they've turned out.
Max Vangeli kicked off his new label with a track that challenged the main stage formula, and his latest release proves him capable of seeing such a creative tangent through. By its title alone you might not expect his Flatdisk collaboration, "Blow This Club," to stray from the status quo, but it manages to make you move without coming across as a by-the-numbers EDM track.
You can't force creative chemistry, so when an artist finds it they should hold onto it. Hardwell appears to have taken this into account, as he's enlisted the vocal musings of "Mad World" collaborator Jake Reese on a new track titled "Run Wild."
It takes finesse to improve upon a track released by English trance mainstay Gareth Emery, but Standerwick might have managed to do exactly that. The Bristol-based DJ/producer has released a remix of Emery's "Reckless" that ought to resonate more with pure trance enthusiasts than what the original featured.
Amid a generation of producers scrambling to pioneer the next post-bass electronic music style, Dutch producer Wiwek took it upon himself to formulate a contender. He calls it "jungle terror," and as trap goes the way of dubstep he seemingly intends for his The Free And Rebellious EP to serve as a blueprint for artists looking to emulate something to take its place.
Any DJ/producer's biggest drawback to touring is foregoing time that could be spent in the studio. deadmau5 recognized this while planning the mau5hax tour, as he's fitted the mau5trap signees' tour bus with a production studio that puts most anything the average audiophile could assemble to shame.
Autograf has returned with the second track from their forthcoming Future Soup EP. Where the title track that they released last month saw the Chicago-based trio try their hand at future house, "Heartbeat" marks a return to the placid trop house grooves that they do best.
Before artists like Thomas Jack and Kygo became the poster children of tropical house, Klingande was another name often associated with the then-experimental new style. Even though in recent productions he's resigned himself to a broader sound, however, tracks like "Losing U" prove him as inventive an artist as ever.
