Adrian Lux - Make Out (EP)

Adrian Lux has been consistently pumping out solid house tracks for years. This year, he continues his streak of awesome releases with his 7-track Make Out EP.

The EP begins with a nice, chill house track featuring some beautiful vocals from Lune. This track is great because you can listen to it in a relaxing setting or a party setting. Whether you're lounging by the pool and raging by the pool, Adrian Lux has your back. Check out The Rain below.

Next is Sooner Or Later featuring some smooth vocals from Kaelyn Behr. This track is more of a deep house track. Adrian Lux is a master of all genres of house, from the powerfully progressive to deepest of the deep, he knows how to make you move. I love everything about this track. Check it out below!



The other track I wanted to highlight from this EP is Damaged. This song closes out the EP in the perfect way. It has more intensity than most of the other tracks, and it is always nice to go out with a bang. I could see this track getting some pretty epic remix treatments as well. Fingers crossed for that! For now enjoy his original version below.

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!

Alex Metric - Hope EP

I have always thought it is such a shame that Alex Metric doesn't get more attention. He has been in the game much longer than most of the DJ stars of today. Despite his relative obscurity, this new EP has 3 awesome tracks that you have to hear!

I love his weird, housey/electro sound. Each song is unique and fun, but the three songs also all fit together to form a nice package of music. His collaboration with Oliver on both Hope and Galaxy is a match made in heaven. Get down to all of the funky sounds the Hope EP has to offer below and get the party started!

Coachella Spotlight #20: Duke Dumont

When the Coachella Line Up first came out I wasn't really aware of who Duke Dumont was. I fiigured he was just another name that I will probably skip over and not think twice about. Then it happened..

Duke Dumont finally jumped on my radar just over a month ago and his name instantly went from 'don't care' to 'don't miss!' His song I Got U featuring Jax Jones is awesome. It has been one of my go too mood lifters ever since I heard it for the first time. The simple piano chords and the sincere vocals make this one hell of a feel good track that I am sure you will hear more as the summer approaches. Check it out below if you aren't familiar!

Upon hearing I Got U, I had to see what else I could find by this seemingly new producer. I quickly learned he isn't a new producer; this british DJ has been perfecting his production skills over the past 3 or 4 years. My next favorite track of his is called Hold On featuring MNEK. It is a really nice deep house track that has a little bit more of an emotional vibe to it thanks to the awesome vocals. Check it out below.



Lastly I want to highlight one of his remixes that I just realized has been on my playlist rotation for months now. I never made this connection until now, but his remix of HAIM's Falling is fantastic. So many new DJ's, so little time! I love the way he keeps the vocals intact and just creates a great melody that elevates the tracks feeling to a whole new level of positivity. HAIM's original is great, but this remix takes the cake. Check it out below!



I can't wait to see what kind of set Duke Dumont lays down in the Sahara Tent in a couple weeks! See you there!

Happy Coachella! <3

Figgy - Do It Like Us

Figgy has been consistently flipping both and old and new R&B/Hip Hop tracks for over a year now and this track is no exception. This time he samples R.Kelly over a smooth, danceable house beat. It's nice to see his sound jump between chill house and soft trap now and then. Both genre's are buzzing right now, so he is poised to make a name for himself if he keeps churning out quality tracks like Do It Like Us. Check it out below!

Moullinex - Flora

Just because I am two years late on finding this album does not mean it isn't post-worthy! This album seems like it was slightly ahead of its time, which makes it that much more intriguing. That's one of the coolest parts about diving into a new genre; finding out that awesome music like this was being made before you even knew it existed! Check out Flora, the debut album from German producer and musician, Moullinex!

New wave disco-house seems to be coming up in a big way lately, and Moullinex seems to have been on that train before most of the artists releasing music today were. His music is very light hearted and I could see the live band performance they do while on the road being very fun.

The first time I heard the name Moullinex was through a remix of one of his songs by Gigamesh. Gigamesh remixed Take My Pain Away into an amped up nu-disco track by adding guitar riffs and a bigger bass line throughout. Check out the remix below.

Upon hearing his album for the first time there was one track that jumped out at me instantly. Moullinex nails it on Darkest Night. The vocals from Iwona Skwarek complement the track perfectly as the beat slinks along in the background. The overall vibe of the song is what gabbed me. I like everything about it. Check it out for yourself below!



The other track that I really liked from the album was Tear Club. I love the more islandy, tropical sounds and washed out vocals. It puts me in a beach front day club somewhere in the Mediterranean. The flute sealed the deal for me. Take your mind somewhere far away and check out Tear Club below.

Popeska - Heart of Glass (LNDN Remix)

A remix usually has to get me pretty excited to get it's own dedicated post. However, this track has met my requirements, and then some! Also, this is the first track ever uploaded to SoundCloud by LNDN, which makes this remix that much more impressive.

LNDN has taken Popeska's track Heart of Glass and de-ragified it. (Yeah, I just made that word up.) He turned it into a really groovy house track with a nice piano melody and some hi-hats replacing the massive progressive synths and blasting snares of the original. I love this more relaxed rendition. It just feels right! Check out this excellent debut track from a talented producer who is sure to do some great things in the future!

Follow LNDN on Facebook now! He has less than 100 followers, and that is not ok..

RAC - Repeating Motion (Feat. Karl Kling)

Ever since the release of his song Let Go, I have been eagerly awaiting the next release from RAC. Today he drops a free download of his brand new track with Karl Kling called Repeating Motion!

This track is the first song he is debuting off of his upcoming album, Strangers, which will be released in two parts. The first part drops March 4th and the second on April 1st. This track totally nails that quintessential RAC sound that we have all come to know and love. His way of mixing live instruments with electronic production is very refreshing, and he does it so effortlessly. After all of the remixing he has done over the years, it is great to see him finally coming out with an entirely original project. Grab the free download of Repeating Motion on his SoundCloud, and listen below!

Enjoy! <3

Coachella Spotlight #16: Anna Lunoe

Here is another artist that will be performing at Coachella that I was previously unfamiliar with but am now very much intrigued to see live this year. Get to know Anna Lunoe with me so we can party to her groovy tunes together!

Anna Lunoe is a DJ and producer from Sydney, Australia that also does her own vocals in her tracks. I have always loved when producers can also sing, or when singers can produce their own music. I think it shows how much talent they actually have when they can do everything themselves. Her sound is very house-y and fun but also slightly on the more mellow side, which is always cool with me. Her latest track, Breathe, is a perfect example of the kind of house music I am referring too. It fits perfectly with the style of music I am really into right now, so I will definitely have to check her out when I'm roaming the Polo Field grounds. Check out Breathe below!

I don't really know what to expect from an Anna Lunoe set, but if it is anything like her music then I am sure that it will be very enjoyable! Here is another track she has that features another Coachella Artist! Her track I Met You features production from Flume, so you know it will be good! Check it out below.



There is nothing like falling in love with an artist at Coachella for the first time. Maybe Anna Lunoe will be your Coachella crush this year?? I guess you will have to check her out and find out!

Happy Coachella! <3

Chordashian

I am still undecided on whether I like producers names that resemble celebrity names or not.. I have seen Lindsay Lowend, Com Truise, and now.. Chordashian. They do always seem to make great music though, so I guess I can't complain! If they keep pumping out quality material, then keep the silly homages coming!

The music these two New Yorkers make is exactly the kind of music I am into right now. They have a similar sound to Goldroom; who, as you all know, is my biggest producer man crush right now. I love the chill house-y vibes all of their music has. It is perfect for a cool pool party or just waking up in the morning with a smile on. Their most popular track to date is called Skyscraper Souls featuring vocals from Freedom Fry. This track is super bouncy and upbeat and makes me want to boogie! Check it out below

Their latest track, Keep On, has more of that old school house sound, with those keys that take you straight to a 12 hour beach party in Ibiza. It is one of those songs that can keep any party going, even in it was looped for 20 minutes straight. Check it out below and grab the free download on their SoundCloud!



The last track I wanted to share with you all was a great remix of theirs. I should have figured they had a remix to this, because its so perfect. It is the first track they posted on their SoundCloud two years ago, and it's still one of my favorite Chordashian tracks. Check out their remix of Penguin Prison's Don't Fuck With My Money below!



Check them out on Facebook to stay up on any new releases or remixes they post!

Enjoy! <3

Coachela Spotlight #11: Classixx

Last year I got super into more simple, relaxed house music and less of the intense electro house rage music. There were a select few artists that helped me make that transition, and Classixx was one of them. I am excited to get a good buzz going and have a good time to their music at Coachella!

Classixx released their debut full length album last year, which is how they gained enough buzz to land this nod from Goldenvoice. Their album, Hanging Gardens, was released to both critical acclaim and fan adoration. The first single off the album is called Holding On, and it is the first Classixx tune I ever heard. I love the groovy bass lines throughout the whole song and the keys give it that happy daytime vibe that I love. Check it out below!



Their album is full of both fun and relaxing songs. Other favorites of mine include Dominoes, Fax From the Beach and Jozi's Fire. Also, the entire remix pack for Holding On is excellent. All three remixes retain the vibe of the original, but amp it up in various ways to bring more life to the track. Check those songs out on our Spotify Playlist!

Classixx alwys does an excellent job at remixing as well. I thought I would throw up a couple of my favorite remixes of theirs for your listening pleasure. See which one you like best below!




I hope they are relatively early on in the day at Coachella so we can all get day drunk together and dance around like idiots to their smooth, funky beats! See you there!!

Happy Coachella! <3

Coachella Spotlight #3: Michael Brun

Michael Brun is easily in the top 3 DJ sets at Coachella I am looking forward to seeing. His quintessential progressive house sound will be AMAZING in the Sahara Tent! If you have ever for a second been a progressive house fan, you HAVE to check out Michael Brun.

This guy literally has too many awesome remixes/tracks for me to highlight with one post. It's ridiculous. So, let me at least show you guys the one that really brought his name to my attention. He got his hands on an already amazing track by Dash Berlin called Steal You Away, and WOW!! If you do not enjoy this song... there must be something wrong with you. Hands down, this is one of my favorite progressive songs of all time. See what I mean below

From this point I will let you decide which your remix of his is your favorite, because their are so many good ones on his SoundCloud to hear more of those. Now I want to show some of his original work, as he just released his new Gravity EP a couple months ago. Despite there only being three tracks on the EP, it is still a well rounded release. Each song is totally different from the other two. My personal favorite right now is Antares because I am really into that bass sound right now and the house-y vibe it has. But, they are all great! Check them out for yourself below!

For more of his awesome remixes, check out our Spotify Playlist! Like him on Facebook and do not miss him at Coachella this year!! You won't regret checking him out.

Happy Coachella! <3

Henry Krinkle

Henry Krinkle has been making a name for himself with his stellar remixing ability. This producer from Florida has been cranking out quality house music for the past year and I cannot wait to see what he does next.

His music floats between deep house and house, which he has self-dubbed as "Lush House". His music is simple and fun, but also has a warm feeling to it that makes it relaxing at the same time. The first track of his that caught my eye was his remix of another track we posted about by Shy Girls and Cyril Hahn called Perfect Form. He slows the track down and smooths it out around the edges to make it even more luscious in your ears. Check it out below.

After scoping out his SoundCloud I found this gem. I love finding awesome remixes of tracks by Ellie Goulding. This time he takes How Long Will I Love You and flips it into an amazing, ethereal chill-out track. I love the long intro that sets up the calming beats in the second half of the song. Take a few minutes off from your day and let your mind wander through these beautiful sounds.



He also has a new original track called Stay which I really dig. It is a little more up-beat than the remixes, but contains that same lush sound that I associate with HK. This track is definitely one for the dance floor. Check out Stay below



Make sure you follow HK on Facebook and look out for him playing a club gig near you in 2014!

Enjoy! <3

Top 10 of 2013: Disclosure - Settle

2013 marked a big year for the resurgence of house and deep house in America. People are finally beginning to mellow out from all the raging that's been going on the past few years. One of the biggest acts responsible for this is Disclosure.

To start their debut album, these two London based brothers found a genius sample of a motivational speaker and flipped it into a sick deep house track called When A Fire Starts To Burn. This track was not only featured in Skrillex's BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix earlier this year, but could also be heard in clubs around the world. However, shortly after that on Settle is the song that blew them up, featuring another Audible Twilight favorite, Sam Smith, called Latch. Check out the official video for Latch below!

Another great track from this album is Help Me Lose My Mind, featuring the beautiful voice of London Grammar vocalist, Hannah Reid. This song is perfect for getting your shit together in the morning or relaxing after a long day.

If you dig the sound of these two songs, check out the rest of their music on my Best of 2013 Spotify Playlist, follow them on Facebook or check out their SoundCloud for remixes and much more!

Enjoy! <3

Top 10 of 2013: Goldroom - Embrace EP

Goldroom is easily one of my biggest come ups of the year. His music opened up a whole new genre of dance music to me, and I have been obsessed ever since.

This year he released his Embrace EP as a follow up to his Angeles EP from last year. It is a definite step up in all aspects from his previous work. The production quality sky rocketed and the music became more electronic sounding, which is always fun. Although, after seeing him perform his music with a live band, it still sounds super cool with a more organic, live sound as well. 

The title track from the EP is by far the stand out track. It is so catchy and the beat is perfect for that summertime pool party atmosphere. I know I bumped this every beautiful Saturday morning to get my day started and my blood pumping. Check it out below!

The other tracks from the EP that I love are Adalita, Fifteen and Only You Can Show Me which you can find on both Spotify and his SoundCloud!

What originally got me into Goldroom though were his remixes. He has SO MANY amazing remixes.. it's kind of ridiculous how good every one actually is. Let me show you a couple of my all time favorites.




All of his remixes are for free download! So grab them on his Facebook!

Enjoy! <3

Natural Animal

I am really digging the whole electronic island vibe lately; similar to Thomas Jack who I posted about last month. This time it's the sounds of Natural Animal.

I discovered these two from a remix they did of another one of my favorite bands of 2013, Bear Mountain. They remixed their track Faded and took it to a whole new level. They turned already awesome track into a dance track suitable for any day club/pool party setting. Check out the remix below.

However, after hearing that remix I check out their SoundCloud to see they have legit original work too! This year they released their Who Are You EP with 4 awesome summer jams. I really enjoy the last 2 songs: The Light and Who You Are. I cannot get enough of their vibes. Listen to the whole EP below!



Follow them on Facebook for new music whenever it's released, and their SoundCloud has much more music on it as well. Here is another remix of theirs I enjoy for your listening pleasure:


Enjoy! <3

Thomas Jack

I stumbled onto this guys SoundCloud page this morning and saw that he listed 'Tropical House' as the genre for his tracks/remixes and instantly knew I had found something I would like. Thomas Jack is a electronic producer from Australia that relocated to Miami to pursue his music career.

His sound has that very laidback house vibe with a tropical twist that takes you straight to your happy place. I have been seriously digging this style of music this year and couldn't be more pleased with this find. If you are a fan of Goldroom or overall good vibes, check out his remix of Benjamin Francis Leftwich that has been topping the Hype Machine charts lately!

Other notable remixes of his include his versions of Teenage Crime by Adrian Lux and Little Talks by Of Monsters & Men. Check them out as well!





His remixes really show off his style, but his originals are equally as good! It seems like his originals are abit more club oriented while his remixes are more for listening pleasure, or at least for a different setting than a nightclub. The original mixes have stronger bass lines but retain the tropical-sounding melodies that Thomas Jack is known for. Here is one that stood out to me the most.



This style of house music is definitely still emerging and growing, but I am very excited to see more artists like this that will continue to progress the music and hopefully begin to steal more listeners from the big room, electro-house craze like it did to me.

Follow Thomas Jack on Faceboook and/or Twitter to stay up to date on his whereabouts. If you like this sound, DEFINITELY check out my current fave Goldroom as well! So amazing.

Enjoy! <3
