Progressive Overload

Posted on July 31, 2011 by Whompinbeat5

Recently I had a mishap with the law that has made me look at life in a completely different way. I was there sitting on a slab of concrete yearning for another chance to see the light of day, and frankly some other place that didn’t smell like piss. I looked back on all the things I might never see again. Then I thought I might not never get to hear a progressive chune to soothe my restless soul. So I vowed at that moment that I will never interfere life and music again and devote myself to serving the public with awesome progressive tuneage. Sit back relax here comes the boom.

Starting off with my favorite vocal Prog/trance tune of the summer. Purely soul soothing vocals. P.S. this has nothing to do with skrillex or nero.

Download: Promises (Myon & Shane 54 Remix) by Andain

This is a gem and I mean it. This is one of those songs you can’t take a chance to pass up because it isn’t viral but it is amazing. The girls vocals are world class quality and only parallels the excellence of the progressive build. I don’t know much about Clokx but the tracks I’ve heard are amazing.

Download: Catch Your Fall (Extended Mix) by Clokx

This is a recently popular remix of “Catch Your Fall”, however I am a true fan of the original

Download: Catch Your Fall (Hardwell Club Mix) by Clokx

Download: Pressure (Clokx Remix) by Nadia Ali & Starkillers

Finally I end with something mystical, or at least thats what these songs have me thinking when I hear them.

That Dankity-Dank: Video’s

Posted on July 30, 2011 by Whompinbeat5

Instead of giving you guys some dank tunes, I have decided to show several dankity-dank videos I’ve seen lately.

I randomly found this video while looking for the official video after Skrillex had disassociated himself from it due to the video’s difference in style. This is not the official video, but I would be willing to bet Skrillex would rather this be the official video. It is so well made in stop motion and they created such vivid images.

Cinema (Skrillex Remix) by Benny Benassi

Sweetest glowstick/art video I have ever seen. Literally thousands of glowsticks are blended up in this sweet vid.

Etiene de Cercy at Matter, London. I’ve never seen the French electro legend, but after watching this I know it would be one of the coolest sets I will ever see.

If no one has seen Tommy Lee recently, then HOLY SHIT! He has his drum set on a circular roller coaster and goes upside down. He even has solos upside down. Check out this video it really makes you start to appreciate the show aspect of EDM.

BONUS Throwback

A life changing moment for me, and my feelings towards music, has to be at all good. More specifically during Bassnectar. This was my first big show of any type and it was so amazing it changed my life direction towards music. I love music now and I have the artists to thank. Heres a tribute to the amazing artists and that amazing Bassnectar show, which may go down as one of the best in history.

It brings me a lot of joy to post about one of my favorite trios in the business, PeaceTreaty. They rock out regardless what genre and today they happen to be rockin’ out with the dubstep. Also the second tune is my favorite dubstep remix of PeaceTreaty’s original, “Change”.
