Cazzette - Sleepless

Today I heard for the first time the latest and greatest from the Swedish DJ duo that Avicii and his manager brought to light a few years ago known as Cazzette. Since their last album came out we haven't heard much from these still relatively fresh faces. Now they are back with an all new sound for their latest single Sleepless.



Cazzette was typically known for their high energy electro house with occasional flashes of some dirty dubstep breakdowns, especially with their plethora of remixes released on their SoundCloud back in 2012. For 2014 they have shifted with the times, and incorporated some deep house elements as this genre begins to gain some massive traction throughout the US dance music community. This new track reinforces the belief that artists should experiment with new sounds and try new things. Us as fans love when artists deviate from the norm. It reminds me of when Dillon Francis put out Without You. Much to the fans surprise, although the song strayed drastically from his previous music, it became one of his most universally loved songs to date.

The first thing that stands out about Sleepless are the vocals, courtesy of The High. They set the mood of the song and put you in the right frame of mind to truly enjoy the funky beats. All in all, Cazzette knocked this one out of the park. I hope to hear more music like this from them in the future. Check out Sleepless below!

Coachella Spotlight #14: GTA

The EDM line-up this year is pretty on point. Goldenvoice has covered all their bases, as they included every genre from the rage-tastic Skrillex or Calvin Harris to the more mellow Nicole Moudaber or Bonobo. No matter what your fancy, you will find it somewhere at Coachella. That said, I think one of the DJs I am most excited to check out for the first time at Coachella has to be GTA.


GTA is a Miami-based collaboration between the DJs JWLS and Van Toth. These two have managed to craft a unique sound that is comprised of mostly dirty, jungle rave beats that make you dance like Tarzan would after smoking crack. They like to blur the line between trap and electro house as well which always makes for more interesting live sets. If you are trying to get buck wild for an hour in the Sahara Tent, GTA would be a good choice to do that with.

My favorite track of theirs is The Crowd. This song is going to be BONKERS in the Sahara Tent. The blaring synths, the vocal samples and the rapid fire drums make this a jungle rave banger! It also throws some half time drops in there as well to add that grime that only GTA can infuse into a track. Check it out below and put your party pants on!



GTA has also worked along side some well known names like Diplo, A-Trak and Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike and have remixed the likes of Kaskade, Deadmau5 and Laidback Luke to name a few. His current song with Diplo has gone completely viral over the past few months and is easily the duo's biggest release to date. However, I won't post that because if you haven't heard it before you are living under a rock. I really like their remix of Michael Woods' track Last Day On Earth, which is a highly underrated song, in my opinion. They flip the track and give it that jungle rave sound that only they could do. I hope they play this in their set!


Come get crazy with me as I go hard in the paint during their set! See you there!

Happy Coachella! <3

Zedd - Find You

To celebrate Zedd's Grammy win last Sunday night, he has released his new single, Find You, featuring two vocalists he has helped launch careers for, Matthew Koma and Miriam Bryant.


This new track is great! I love the dueling vocals between Matthew and Miriam, and Zedd's production is on point as always. I do kind of miss the old Zedd and his hard hitting bangers, but his new commercial sound is still very fun. The single is available on iTunes or on our Spotify Playlist! Check it out below!


Enjoy! <3

Will K

I haven't really posted many producers on here who specialize in that BANG BANG shit... so here is one for you all. I came across 16 year old, Australian producer Will K just before NYE and was very happy with what I heard.


Most of his recent releases follows the big room trend currently sweeping the electro house genre. I will admit I am tired of those sounds, but Will still manages to make cool, relatively unique tracks. The first track that I found by him is also my favorite of his. He remixed Walden's track First Day and put in a drop that I couldn't stop thinking about after the first time I heard it. I love how empty, yet hard the beat is. I can get so turnt to this track.



He also has his own original release titled Open Your Eyes featuring vocals from Mitch Thompson. It is a beautiful progressive house tune. I think the use of the guitar and drums in the vocal sections really takes this track to the next level. Although the original is good on its own, I wanted to show you one of the official remixes of this track by the tag-team combo of eSQUIRE & OFFBeat. Their remix keeps the original song intact, but adds a banging bass line to the drop and makes it much more of a peak time track for his DJ sets.



Will K also has a bunch of other releases you can find on his SoundCloud. Also, throw him a 'Like' on Facebook while you're at it!

Enjoy! <3
