Penguin Prison ~ Fair Warning (Robotaki Remix)
I’ll find a girl and then another. I know I’ll find the one for me.

gettin’ younger
Two $ remixes of Wynter Gordon’s song “Still Getting Younger”. I like both versions, the Third Party remix is more of an anthem style song with blaring synths, while the eSQUIRE version features the vocals by Ms. Gordon more. If I had to choose one though, I would choose the Third Party mix.

Wynter Gordon – Still Getting Younger (eSQUIRE Remix)
These next 2 gems are off of Morgan Page’s CD, In The Air. They both feature vocals by Richard Walters that are, in my opinion, perfect. Hopefully these two continue working together. ”The Actor” quickly became one of my favorite songs, pretty much from the second it started playing.

PREVIEW: Deadmau5 feat. Chris James – The Veldt (Tommy Trash Remix)
Remix to Deadmau5′s new track by the one and only, Tommy Trash. He added more of a club feel to the very chilled out original. Gonna be good.

Summer Nights
Get outside you filthy animals! Actually, hold please…just realized those unfortunate souls who are in the northeast right now have been getting rain and cold weather…ooops. Sucks for you I guess. Regardless of your geographic location, it’s almost officially summer, and you should be excited.
Cascada – Summer of Love (7th Heaven Club Mix)
Nothing like a good sunset with some close friends…especially ones with really nice “personalities.”
The sun accentuates quite perfectly.

RELEASE: Keane – Silenced By The Night (Alesso Remix)[Refune]
This track is the most-anticipated remix from Alesso since his hit version of Armin van Burren’s “Drowning.” Released today on Refune Records, and available to purchase via Beatport. It is a indie rock hit with superb vocals turned big-room progressive anthem with the melodic, uplifting synth and piano work from this Swedish studio wizkid. Definitey will hit beatport #1, and just a matter of time before it’s all over the radio. The overall nature of this song brings me back to strange space between Avicii’s “Drowning” and the Jacque Lu Cont remix of The Killer’s “Mr. Brightside.” So much emotion. Love it.
Keane – Silenced By The Night (Alesso Remix) – Beatport Link – $$$$$ Anthem of the summer and soon to be Beatport #1.

I’ve Been Thinkin’ Bout You
Thank you Evelyn ‘Champagne’ King for being so incredibly awesome. This music video is so 80′s… take me back I need it. I’d also like to thank the sound engineer who came up with this oh so catchy beat. Be sure to check out some of the modern sampling/reworks/edits/remixes/thievery whatever you want to call it. I personally do not care – all I know is it is FRAICHE.

Emeli Sande – My Kind of Love (Wideboys Radio Edit) $$$$. I was told about the original of this song by someone who knows a thing or 2 about good music. Probably would’ve never given this version a listen if I hadn’t heard the original. So, I gotta it’s pretty nice having connections.
So nice you gotta play it twice

“I belong to you tonight. Do what you feel is right.”
Crazy Minds & Sila Nerli – I Belong To You (Carlos Russo Vocal Mix)
Really nice feel good vocal track for ze clubs. And side note, I really wish Miranda Kerr wasn’t with Orlando Bloom. No offense to her, but he seems like a tool. Just saying…

Say hello to your new favorite song.

Get Me Outa Here!
Got one more final and two more papers ’til I’m out of this piece. That’s not entirely fair, though. I’ve had some great times in Hartford, and I’m sure more will follow, but sometimes you have to say fuck it and follow your heart. Right now, my heart is saying it’s time for change which is why these last few finals/papers are killing me. As a heads up this post will be popping off with some heavy shit that makes you want to break things, followed by some poppy summertime feel fraicheness, then I’ll put her to sleep with some good ‘ole fashioned funk.
Ready, Set, Break Stuff!

RELEASE: OVERWERK feat. Nick Nikon – House (Original Mix)[Monstercat]
You know last month when I was talking about the whole concept of “future sound” and future house for that matter? One of the artists leading the way in this movement is a young man by the name of OVERWERK. His insanely complex yet perfectly structured melodic progressions, effects, and unique sounds (oh yea, and his catch phrase “overwerk it”) have driven much of his recent success. Check out his latest production “House,” out today on Beatport via Monstercat Media, and support this up-and-coming artist by purchasing his track.
