By now y’all have probably heard this jam, but I figure I’ll post it anyway. The back story is this: Avicii asked what his facebook fans wanted for a reward when he reached 2 million fans. The overwhelming favorite was a free, original track from Tim himself. So the young and humbled Swede obliged, titling the release “Two Million”. Anyone who has seen Avicii in the last 8 months or so will recognize this as a track he has played in live sets multiple times, though it was always dubbed as an “ID”. Well, now it’s yours for the taking. Overall EHusky regards this as a solid Avicii effort, and more congruent with some of his Tim Berg productions. Get it below for free…
Felix Cartal is a name that has been gaining increased exposure in my iTunes library, and he tends to hook his tracks up with a very hard and purposeful electro intonation. The remix package for his latest jam with Miss Palmer entitled “Black To White” features a slew of different sounds. You’ll hear from Angger Dimas, Clockwork, Tommy Noble and The Loops Of Fury in this highly energetic and upbeat package.
Black To White (Angger Dimas Remix) - Mr. Dimas has decided to isolate the vocals only to slowly give rise to the whiny synths that lead into the grinding basslines of the cavernous drop. One thing is for sure: he certainly lives up to the name Angger.
Black To White (Clockwork Remix) - Clockwork has put in some serious work on this one, and the end result is synonymous with a futuristic, robotic sounding club anthem with deep bass and pulsing lines of electronic awesomeness. What does this mean? I guess you’ll just have to listen and find out!
Black To White (Tommy Noble Remix) - Melodic piano seems to be the main ingredient in this jam, but the drop is a wholesome serving of hard beats that picks up where Nari & Milani’s “Atom” left off. This is definitely the EHusky favorite.
Black To White (The Loops of Fury Remix) - I would characterize this one as very glitchy and choppy. But it also employs the element of funk and some melodious piano work that helps create a balance and contrast with the unorthodox approach taken in the drop. Definitely a cool rendition…
Kaskade is back with some more music monday jammage, and we could not be happier. The original mix of Ladi Dadi was pretty solid, but I gotta say I wasn’t a huge fan of the vocals even though I’m a Wynter Gordon fan. They just seemed a little strange to me, and what the hell is ‘Ladi Dadi’ anyway? Well, for those of you that shared my sentiments, this is the jam for you. New lyrics on top of the Tommy Trash remix from Kaskade’s own production, “Be Still”. It works extremely well, and you can bet he’ll be playing this during his Freaks of Nature Tour. If you can’t make it to one of the shows, at least you have this little tidbit of the experience.

EDX has been in the game for awhile, and Mysto & Pizzi are seasoned veterans in the remix game. Relying heavily on fairytale synths and large, drifting melodies, they have created a bona fide summer anthem. It’s springtime now, love is in the air, and EDM is bumping on everyone’s speakers. This is just one of those tunes you can’t help but dance to. Throw those fists in the air, crack a smile (and maybe a beer) and get ready to ride the Mysto & Pizzi train… It’ll get you where you need to go.

In their newest release, Third Party has decided to hit us with a bit of soul via Loleatta Holloway’s gospel-sounding vocals. Beyond that, this track is typical Third Party; ultra melodic, uplifting and altogether feel-good music. Coming off a huge hit in “Feel”, it appears as though Third Party is on the up and up. EHusky is in full support, and hopes that they continue to produce stadium-driven hits. We don’t really have any fears of disappointment, though…

In need of some smooth, tranc-like synths today? Look no further than Kryder’s remix of Vada’s “Neon Lights”. The only real information you can find on Kryda is very secretive, but he describes himself as a futuristic dance music machine, and we have to agree. Seemingly aiming to bridge the gap between trance and progressive house, Kryder has created a sound that will be loved by many. The minimalist drop is the kind of thing that really throws crowds for a loop in the middle of a set. But wait… There’s more. After powering through a second melodic build, this remix cascades into a huge, stadium-filling get-up that rivals David Guetta & Nicky Romero’s “Wild One Two”. Definitely do not overlook this jam…
A couple weeks ago Deadmau5 released his new, chilled-out single titled “The Veldt”. However Tommy Trash decided it was his duty to inflict a more punishing bassline and a larger contrast between the vocal bridge and the drop. We’re left with a track crafted by Deadmau5′ silky-smooth melodies, and Tommy Trash’s wobbly electro druthers. The end result is extremely entertaining, and has been utilized in countless live sets since it first surfaced. There’s no doubt about it, folks… Tommy Trash is on fire right now.

Avicii is back with this majestic collaboration with Lenny Kravitz. This track was debuted during Avicii’s UMF 2012 set, and the crowd responded quite favorably. It’s a big-room anthem that uses synths conducive to the original Tim Berg style; a bit more dark and purposeful than most of the material released under the Avicii moniker. However, do not expect anything much different than Avicii’s normal cookie-cutter sound. For those who are his die-hard fans, this jam is a must-have. Otherwise, be on the lookout for some new material from Mr. Bergling. He’s been tweeting about finishing four original tracks this week. How’s that for some suspense? Maybe this will fill the void created by your anticipation.

Brass Knuckles and David Solano are names that are constantly floating around in the NYC DJ circle, and they’ve just gotten a great remix from Starkillers and Dmitry KO, a duo that never fails to please. This jam is a bit darker than their normal style, but still has that dance-oriented synth that is so necessary for a club banger. The drop reminds me of “Atom” with a splash of melody and some synth work. Overall, a very solid remix of an old track that is not so widely known. Let it bump…

Maison & Dragen are on a serious roll this week following their release of “Wet Dreams” on Zouk Recordings. Now, I invite you to enjoy their latest masterpiece, a remix of Cerf, Mitiska & Jaren’s “Starting Right Now”. They employ that big-room, festival-inspired melodic house that EHusky has come to associate with them, but then drop the track into a slightly heavier get-up than normal. Overall the song is a nice touch of familiar character and a peak at something new. Watch out for Maison & Dragen; they have truly been doing BIG things recently.
