Honestly, Sam Smith might have one of the greatest voices out there right now. Originally Sam Smith did the vocals for Disclosure‘s hit single Latch, reaching over two million plays on Soundcoud. Just today, he has decided to release an acoustic version that encompasses subtle piano chores, added cello, and his heart wrenching lyrics. Not sure if it is his range within his singing or the emotion that he brings in the lyrics that...

Look out Tommy! Looks like Mr. Dismantle is looking to take the title on this Sub Focus release! If you have yet to hear this original or the massive Tommy Trash remix, be sure to listen to that first so you can fully compare and contrast, find the Tommy Trash remix here. Dismantle is the poster child of deep disco electronic works and UK’s most coveted underground vibes. A big piece of UKF and BBC Radio 1, his work is frequently...

Having a critically acclaimed set at Ultra Music Festival this past year, constant releases via his label Revealed Records and collaborations upon collaborations, Hardwell has been working hard this year to say the very least.

BUTCH CLANCY people! We’ve had doubts about his ability to return to the way he used to be, the music he used to produce and the vibes he used to be able to create but this may just throw all of those ungrateful doubts out the window. In a manner much like that to his remix of Band of Horses years back (sorry to be cliche), Clancy returns to offer confidence and beauty through a mixture of all his influences. While on a tour for his...

If Talul’s Soundcloud profile picture (shown above) is any representation of his productions, then this remix here is the icing on the cake. Serious as ever and more epic than deemed reasonable, Talul sets out to reframe the tracks he edits, altering genre and conquering all in his path. His work with Bon Iver has been astonishing to say the least and since then his collaborations and mix shows have continued to show growth and build...

Just a couples minutes ago we received a leaked clip from one of the tracks off the soon-to-be-released Daft Punk album, Random Access Memories. As far as we know – this track has not been leaked anywhere else. It’s a 1:07 clip of the supposed single Doin’ It Right, featuring Panda Bear. We have attached a bit of information about all that is really known about the track via Fuse. Who knew the Animal Collective whiz was...

From the intro’s water drop like vocal pattern to the big room synth lazer power to the eerie breakdown, this track is a genuine dBerrie production. In fact it is David Berrie’s work with progressive vocals that we know him best. From monster Top 40 feels to Flamingo Recordings abstractions Mr. Berrie experiments with sound in some of the most predictable yet powerful ways around, we know what to expect and love it every...

Anton Zaslavski, better known as Zedd, has established himself as one of the most talented producers in EDM. The German talent gained recognition by doing official remixes for Skrillex and Lady Gaga, and since then has only received increasing amounts of praise from other artists. Lately, every song Zedd has been putting out has been nothing short of excellent. Releases like “Clarity” and “Spectrum” have been two...

Whether it was Tiesto‘s remix or the original, these distinct cords have echoed across the internets since Ultra Music Festival this past March following the infamous performance of The Toothpaste Man. Brushing your teeth to the notes and giggin’ out to the drops, the suited man raised hype and brought this mega-anthem to live 3 months back. After the release of the original, we’ve got the official remix to bring the...
