BRAND NEW DIRTY DUTCH

A while back, we showed you the preview to a brand new banger by an up and coming dirty dutch producer named Nicky Romero.  The track, Solar, dropped on the first of March, and, although I know it's a bit too late, here it is.  It's an absolute bomb and NO BODY should hesitate to download.  


Without further adieu, here is the track.  Don't think, just download

Progressive House

Today we take an in depth look into one of the original sub genres of electro, progressive house music.  Widely known as prog house, this genre is mostly heard in clubs by resident DJ's.  The components of prog house, as well as any progressive music, are long builds that lead to repeating drops and steady bass.  Pretty much what this means is that the song builds for ever, but instead of having a banger drop, it will usually just go back into the melody but add more harmonies.  Some of you might be confused, seeing as this sounds A LOT like trance.  But the difference is that it still is house music.  You can still rave to it, instead of getting bored with it like trance.  


Producers specializing in prog house are also some of the biggest names in the scene, and you have probably heard a few of their songs maybe without realizing that it had it's own genre and culture.  Producers include Fedde Le Grande, Michael Woods, some Deadmau5 and occasionally Afrojack, but the true embodiment of progressive house has to be Avicii.  


And here are some tracks to add prog to your library.

Spotlight: Boys Noize & Boys Noize Records

Today the focus is on everything Boys Noize.  Alexander Ridha, the man behind the music, hails from Germany and is huge in the electro scene.  Not only is he an incredible producer, but he also heads his own record label, Boys Noize Records (BNR).  His tracks are massive, and are famous for their long builds and heavy percussion, but still can be classified as melodious and not just pure banger.  They are both perfect ipod music as well as club hits.


The label, created in 2005, has released almost all of Boys Noize's own tracks, but also other big names in electro.  Recently released artists such as Bart B More, Harvard Bass, BeataCue, Ryenecologist, Erol Alkan and Hey Today! have had huge success on the label.


Ridha himself is not only an unreal producer, but has widespread fame for his live skills as well.  He has utter control over the crowd.  True performer and entertainer, not just pressing play like a bunch of DJs now.

Relaxing Electro

We all love to go nuts at a party or club, raving to absolute bangers and such.  But sometimes, you just need a break.  Sometimes, you can't jump.  Or rave.  Or dance.  You just need to sit down, sip your drink, and tap your foot.  I have the perfect solution.  These tracks below are the perfect mesh between electronic hard melodies and relaxing soft baselines.  


So kick back. Put your feet up. Grab a glass, two ice cubes, and a bottle of jack.  Get comfy and press play.


Download all.
