The Chainsmokers are at it again with a remix of the “elegant electropop”* single, “Julian,” by the Swedish/Australian sisters, Say Lou Lou. The DJ duo infuses this laid-back melody with the perfect amount of progressive house energy, so as not to overwhelm the song’s slow, soft core. Get off the couch, turn up this jam and get ready for summer.

Our boy Special Features is back, and we couldn’t be more excited about this! This time with a spectacular remix of dance music’s golden girl Ellie Goulding. Coming off of releasing his first solo original piece, Illusions, on the esteemed Big Beat Records, he maintains his momentum with yet another remarkable masterpiece. Special Features and Ellie Goulding are a match made in heaven as he tastefully merges her inimitable vocals with his uniquely invigorating progressive house style for a distinctive, emotional sound .
In the midst of his triumphant return, Special Features captures the heart and soul of Ellie Goulding’s “Only You” while transforming it into something completely his own. His remix opens up with expertly woven harmonies of soft, warm chords as the backdrop to Ellie’s unforgettable hook. The track then quickly evolves as drums are brought into the mix and Special Features’ signature pads begin to take shape with smooth, rising tension building in the upper frequencies. Shortly following, the powerful, melody-driven sequence with intricate arpeggios is unleashed to provide listeners with a thought-provoking, euphoric musical experience. Special Features never fails to impress even the most jaded dance music enthusiasts with his refined works of art.

Dinka has been leading the game on the chill/progressive front for some time. Established and true to her roots, I can’t say enough about this gal. Great remix here from Johan Vilborg that will take you on a smooth sailing aural journey. Cheers.

Tom Flynn’s new EP “Everything I Am” recently just dropped on 8Bit Records. Its deep, enticing melodies will set the mood for just about any swanky lounge, in any swanky city. Supper the artist here.
Funky, groovy, and severely upbeat track that will take any crowd late into the night. Next we got a emotive, deep track with that Tube/Berger flair that makes there output so distinct (amazing breakdown @ about 2:40). Cheers.

By taking a step in a different direction without diminishing his signature sound, Seven Lions challenges himself as an artist keeping his productions fresh and unique from his past releases. The track opens up with Mimi’s haunting vocals layered on top of hypnotizing soundscapes that carry the listener into unexplored dimensions. After a tension-building pause, the gritty, pulsing bassline flows through with strong drums, intricately woven melodies, and precise, glitchy elements. Trance elements soon shine through in the breakdown where the track moves into a welcoming euphoric sequence before returning back to the initial bass-driven progression. With this release, Seven Lions proves that he can deliver hit after hit while retaining his artistic integrity. Enjoy
