Gareth Emery & Ashley Wallbridge – Mansion (Porter Robinson Edit)
I woke up this morning to find this treat waiting for me and I knew it was going to be massive before I even listened to it. As a huge fan of all three producers on this track I really couldn’t ask for anything more. Porter Robinson has taken an already brilliant track and one [...]
Dash Berlin – Music Is Life (Album Review)
His last album, “A New Daylight”, was filled with hits like “Till The Sky Falls Down”, and “Man On The Run”. Now, 3 years later, charted at number 8 on the DJ Mag Top 100 Poll, Dash Berlin returns with his new album titled, “Music Is Life”. “Music is Life” radiates a glow of warmth [...]

Zedd vs Bloody Beetroots vs Benny Benassi – Shotgun Music 1.9 (Ken Loi Bootup)

Super8 & Tab – Black is Back (Club Mix)
After their massive track “Black Is The New Yellow” released in 2010, Finnish duo Super8 & Tab are back with the cleverly titled “Black is Back”. Right off the bat, “Black is Back” features a hard bass line which drives right through to the breakdown; the melody is a beautifully choreographed continuation of the 2010 [...]

Sander van Doorn & Mayaeni – Nothing Inside
Sander van Doorn offers something slower and deeper with his latest single “Nothing Inside”. Working off the vocals of Mayaeni, Doorn uses soft piano sounds to lull listeners into uplifting riffs. In my mind Sander van Doorn is one of the best producers in the world and everything he releases is worth listening too, but [...]
