Mylo – Drop The Pressure (Dada Life Guerilla Fart #14)

Dada Life just took out the fattener again and turned it way the fuck up. They took a classic house track from Mylo and gave it the Dada Life treatment. What came out is being called the “Dada Life Guerilla Fart #14.” If you’re at 10, Dada Life is at 11.

Mylo – Drop The Pressure (Dada Life Guerilla Fart #14) - $$$$ Electro house magic. Ze bass is extra fat. Fantastically thick drops.

Definitely a banger.

Rio de Janeiro

This one is a bit late, but still an amazing progressive instrumental anthem from Mason & Dragen titled “Rio De Janeiro.” And for all who need to catch up on the history of Rio, check out one of the most critically acclaimed films, and one of my personal favorites, “City  Of God.” Picture above taken from the move.

Maison & Dragen – Rio de Janeiro (Original Mix) – $$$$ Hot hot hot. The pianos and synths are more on point than Warren Buffets portfolio…and if you don’t know who Warren Buffet is, just disregard that comment till you learn the value of money. Thanks.

I Believe In Love

For better or worse, love is the most intense feeling one can have. Even better than what will most likely be enhancing my experience at Alesso tonight. This one is to all those lovers out there. Just listen to the rhythm of your heart.

The Darkness – I Believe In A Thing Called Love (Enkai & Lucas Hough Bootleg) - $$$$$ Amazing work here. I am so fuckin’ down with this shit. Progressive melodies, ambient undertones, wobbling in the second break down…ya, it’s got it all people. MUST HAVE.

Now I’m going to go get nice and rico suavay so I can fall in love on the sweaty dancefloor tonight when Alesso drops “Years.” Wish me luck! Oh, and holla at a playa if you in Atlanta tonight and are gonna go enjoy some nice thumping hous music at Club Opera tonight. But seriously, if you’re not a weirdo, here’s my email (jwilkinson88@gmail.com). I may have some AYNE stickers handy :)

What Is Love?

Some more progressive goodness. I pretty much live for progressive house these days, don’t have much else going for me, I don’t mind. Ultra in a month from today, sick. Might go down to Miami the night before and see if I can catch the premiere of that Ultra movie, life could be worse.

Aqua Diva » What Is Love (Total Sound & Blinders Remix) $$$. I thoroughly enjoy this.

Dezza « Inked (Original Mix) $$. A couple weeks old, but fraiche nevertheless.

NERVO vs. Pryda » We’re All No One 2night (Kevin Murphy Mashup)

Labrinth « Last Time (R3hab Mix) Rehab’s not that cool. But R3hab is. Go figure.

Shake It Baby!

That’s right Kate Upton, you’ve got the idea. If you know how music, you know Robin S. She is the brilliant vocalist behind such tracks as “Show Me Love” and “At My Best.” Her voice is just simply the perfect house sound. It’s loud, proud, and soulful. Let her take you to new heights in this big-room remix of her latest track with Ctk called “Shake It.” Anthem status? You decide.

Robin S & Ctk – Shake It (Steven Quarre & Morris Mavado Dub Mix) – $$$$ Hot hot hot. When Robin is on vocals, you know you gonna dance.

PREVIEW: Let There Be House [A Documentary] A film by Tamara Susa

In Tamara’s words: “Let There Be House” is a project I am working on at the moment and the idea is to show the progression of house music since its beginnings in Chicago to where it is today.”

House music is a feeling, for some it’s like breathing, for some it is their life, and for many its addictive, like a drug. What is house music to you?
