House Music, It's La Cosa Nostra

Trance

Avicii @ Up & Down Barcelona

Tomorrow night, courtesy of the legendary Kyke Navarro, Avicii takes his talents to Up & Down aka Oshum in Barcelona

Tickets available HERE.

Should be a hectic night. I had the pleasure of DJing at Oshum last month. One of the cooler gigs of my life. Here’s a video taken from that night.

1)Drowning (Avicii Remix)-Armin Van Buuren


Somehow I never got around to posting this track. It’s a doozie though. A lot of the credit has to go to Laura V’s vocals.

A bit more trancey, exotic and islandy rather than hard-hitting, this track is in Armin’s and Above & Beyond’s arsenal. It simply puts you in euphoria with its beautiful build up and high notes.

Moving Sucks

I literally have no time to post a track today. I am not gonna leave you without anything to snack on though…

Waves of Change

This is a track I’ve been meaning to post since forever,

Infact I’m surprised I haven’t since that finook Kopedale had it on repeat the entire last semester.

1) Waves of Change (Kaskade Remix)

(CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD) **B10 Highly Reccomends**

This is one of those tracks that really makes you want to roll face. So much so that if you put it on really loud on the nicest sound system you own, close your eyes, and get into the beat you may very well transport yourself to that euphoric/nostalgic place that you are looking for. Regardless of all of that it’s an amazing record and one that you ought to have in your library.


Mau5

Boom. I’m a believer.

1) Sofi Needs a Ladder (Coachella Set Rip)- Deadmau5

(CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD)

Unreleased track, so the best quality we have is a set-rip, but when this song comes out, it is going to be the jammmmmm.

Soon as it drops I will hit you with it…


BLOG LOVIN: CHUBBYBEAVERS.COM

It’s time to show some love for another blog that has been doing serious work lately,

ChubbyBeavers.com

Besides being personal friends of ours, These guys have been fine purveyors of Dance Music for over a year now.

When the blog suddenly became stagnant for two months, many of us (myself included) wondered whether our ears would ever be graced with the bangers that they bequeath regularly.

Emerging recently with a stronger focus on House Music, Dre and Lev have been merking it lately, so if you haven’t peeped their blog yet, I strongly encourage you to do so. Regularly.

And now, for some tunes that the Beavers would definitely approve of.

1) We Can’t Hear Anybody Out There (Original Mix)-Chuckie

(CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD)

I have never heard some Chuckie that I don’t like. This one starts out surprisingly trancy, but comes in at the 1:50ish mark into something much more familiar for the Dutch-oriented producer. I’m loving it.


ESCAPE ME!

Unitard: “ESCAPE ME!”

Vagina: “With pleasure.”

1) Escape Me (Avicii Remix At Night)-DJ Tiesto

(CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD)

Tiesto does it again, with a steady shot of umph from Avicii. Mansouri told me to dig up this track, so I immediately obliged because homie knows his House Music. How pleased was I to find a track that had all the trancey epic-ness that you’d expect from a Tiesto track with a more party-centric bassline to keep the intensity at an all-time high throughout the entirety of this masterpiece


Straight to the Sky

I gotta give a shout out to my man Dj ATS for showing me this track.

Straight to the Sky – Sandy Vee Ft. Robin S.

Click Here To Download

Any collaboration with Robin S and Sandy Vee is sure to be a banger. When the vocals and the keyboard come in at around 1:00 minute, I start to get the tingles. Slowly but surely, this trance–>progressive track builds, and the drop following the 2nd set of vocals make me want to get in a spaceship and blastoff! My favorite part is 3:30 in….I’ll stop giving it away though. This is a keeper.

Nak3d, out


Short but Sweet (Trance Edition)

I have been deep sea fishing since 7:30am and I am exhausted. take this delicious Trance/House nugget though before I pass out.

1) It’ll Be Alright (DBN Remix)- Greg Cerrone, Shawnee Taylor

Just download it and drop it tonight during your Lilypond pregame

Throwback Ferry

I’m really really sick right now. Like so sick I don’t even think I’m gonna make it to the KK tonight.

So I think I’m to ill to scour the web for new music today, but I’m not leaving you empty handed.

Enjoy two Ferry Corsten bangers from 2005.

1)Fire (original mix)-Ferry Corsten

I gotta credit Ross with showing me this track, but I’d say I probably listened to this and only this on repeat for about two weeks after he hit me with it. The beat is a heavier trancey beat, but what makes the track so memorable is the vocals. They are almost hypnotizing and they are capable of evoking genuine emotions of desire for whoever the girl is that you’re currently digging.

2) Rock Your Body Rock-Ferry Corsten

Another 2005 Ferry banger, I’m pretty sure that this, along with Dion’s Runaround Sue, became the theme song of Drew’s pregames before the big Horace Mann parties. Rightfully so, as this song is the perfect litmus test of someone’s drunkness. Put it on after having a couple drinks. Do you find yourself developing the need to jump up and down and rage uncontrollably? You’re halfway there. Do you find yourself incapable of moving and you just want to sit on the couch and you hate your life for drinking so much? Yeah you’re super twisted.
