Artist Spotlight: Marcus Maison & Will Dragen

I have been listening to a TON of Marcus Maison & Will Dragen lately, they make such quality tracks. The original tracks that they have been coming out with lately are nothing short of amazing, and may even be better than their remixes. That’s not to say that their remixes haven’t also been quite popular with me lately–Their remixes of “Wild Ones” is absolutely crazy, I’d highly suggest you check it out. For the original tracks, definitely don’t miss “Excalibur” or “Reign (Another Dimension)” featuring Amba Shepard, those are my two favorites. The duo also put forth a really nice house remix of “Pressure,” and another enjoyable remix of “Talking To Myself.”

Spencer & Hill – Countdown Housebeats Vol. 2

Spencer & Hill have recently come out with their “Countdown Housebeats Vol. 2″ on Spinnin Records, and it features some really great tracks and remixes. One of the highlight tracks is definitely Jerry Rekonius’ unique dub mix of “A Million.” The original track “Just Dance Now” is a really sick electro track that’s exactly what you would expect out of Spencer & Hill. On the other side of things, their track “In The Middle” is a great trance tune, showing Spencer & Hills versatility. Pallada‘s remix of “All I Need” is a banger and one of my favorite tracks on the release. Also, the remixes from Hirshee & Jan Waterman are worthy of a listen and download as well. You can pick up the whole release on Beatport.

New Deadmau5 Releases

You may have heard both of these tracks, but these are the high quality official releases from Deadmau5 for you today. First up is “Maths,” which is a nice little electro number from the Mau5. Second is the official released version of “Get in the Cart, Pig” which I like because I’m not used to hearing the mastered version. I’m also throwing in a really great old trance remix from Mau5 that I haven’t listened to in a while, but found myself jamming to while making this post.

Spencer & Hill ft. Nadia Ali – Believe It [Dank Remixes]

Here are two very different remixes one sticking with the old part of me, and the other is more along the lines of house, something I’ve been dabbling with as of recent. The first is by fast rising Cazzette. They have support of almost every producer out there and for a good reason. They make amazing originals, but their remixes alway blow my mind. Although this is old, I noticed I never posted this and I love this song. Possibly my favorite Spencer & Hill song, which is what makes it even better. Cazzette’s remix is an amazing progressive track with the perfect vocals from the original, but all the while it is accompanied by a little dubby wobble which is just the icing on the cake. The next one by Bastian Van Shield is not so flashy. It’s kinda techy with sexy vocals that are slightly different from the original (I love how they put them over each other). Great housey tune if thats what you’re into. PS the vocals are by Nadia Ali, so if you weren’t sold before you should be now.

Some New Releases

Arty was one of my favorite artists for a long time, not to say that he is no longer one of them, but it’s been awhile since he has wowed me. I mean he is still very young and he was putting out as good as, if not better, productions than any veteran in the community. I’m glad to hear his remix finally get released. A lot like the original, but he adds some trancey kicks and very progressive melody thats suited for any big moment.

Pierce Fulton isn’t a big name, but he is definitely a rising star. His newest song came out two days ago, and he has been hyping this track up for some time. It has a great electro build typical to his style. Never too hard, but always making dank tracks.

What can you say about these two except they make music that makes you move. In recent months they have put out some massive crazed songs, and today they put out something with a progressive summer feel. It has Avicii synths yet it’s a familiar melody with a different edge. Enjoyable tune here nothing special, but also nothing to pass up either.

Recently I’ve been listening to some house tunes and thats why I’m putting this different track in. The build is normal progressive with some normal vocals, but then the drop comes with nothing normal at all. The drop is filled with high pitched acid synths that just scream rave face, whatever the hell that means. “This is how we roll”.

Sexy House Music

Genre’s have been broken down and mixed up these days and it’s near impossible to pinpoint one exact genre that a song belongs in. House music has evolved more than any and it almost seems that the old origin of house isn’t even recognized anymore. To be honest though I am not the biggest house fan, but sometimes I just love listening to a groovy house track. Today I’ve got five dank house tracks that I’m really diggin’. I’m not gonna write a description since this isn’t really my expertise, but the songs are sure to be enjoyable.
