IT'S A TRAP!

-M


Exploration of Space (Spencer & Hill Remix) - Cosmic Gate (Golden Banana)
Big Electro House jam with a super German cheese buildup, complete with those detuned saws we all love.


Inside Out (Original Mix) - DBN & Patric La Funk (Silver Banana)
Progressive House on the Housier side.  Also has a sick acid bass that comes in.  Huge fan of this track.

The Music (Original Mix) - Electrixx
Electro House in all it's glory.

Kick Starts (Wideboys Remix Extended) - Example
If you need to drop a commercial Electro House track.

Fucking VIP Bitch (Original Mix) - Electrixx
Moar Electro House!

Wazabi (Original Mix) - DBN & Patric La Funk
Progressive/Tech House with some weird/cool sounds.  Unique, dissonant, and ravey.


Inside Out (Inpetto Remix) - DBN & Patric La Funk
Making the original more Proggy.

Hell Yeah! (Original Mix) - Electrixx
Electro House with a rap on it.  Also, +500 Bastille Love and Admiration Points for whoever names another song that used this same sample.

Diskout (Main Mix) - Deux (aka David Penn & Toni Bass) feat. Sheilah Cuffy
Progressive House

Tik Tok (Club Edit) - Bob Sinclar feat Sean Paul
For those who REALLY want to play pop stuff.

Obscure Video Game Character #14

One of the most terrifying bosses of all time, but is she before YOUR time?  Most probably.  A whopping 1,000 Bastille Love and Admiration Points to whoever knows this name.  You're either a baller that knows your video games, or your a baller for being quite possibly the oldest person to read this blog.  Either way, you deserve the points.

Niton (Treasure Fingers Remix) - Eric Prydz (GOLDEN BANANA)
Treasure Fingers really elevated himself to the level of a Fred Falke or Lifelike with this remix.  It's unbelievably amazing.


Dub Disco (Lucky Date Remix) - Spencer & Hill (Silver Banana)
The guy you all know and love for his incredible set of Reason Refills (check those out HERE if you are a producer or want to be, you will not regret it), has seriously killed it with this remix.  Big ass Electro House.  I wouldn't be surprised to see him sharing the stage with Porter Robinson in the upcoming months, seeing that they're remixing the same guys and I think they'd work well together.  If either are reading this, you should consider a collaboration.


Sfinx (Original Mix) - John Dahlback (Silver Banana)
I needed to have another banana, because this track deserves it.  What I love most about Dahlback is that he's not afraid to experiment with something new.  Electro House.

Don't Hold Back (John Dahlback & Avicii Original Mix) - Jovicii feat. Andi P
If this collaboration doesn't give you a boner, the get the fuck out.  Great Progressive House track.

Dig It All (Original Mix) - JoeySuki
Tech Dutch House would be the best way to describe it.

Pimpin' Ain't Easy (Format B Remix) - Hugo
Techno in all it's fucking glory.

Homeless (Felix Cartal Gross Edit) - Style Of Eye & Slagsmalsklubben
Electro on the Tech side of things.  Dirty ass bass.

Lost In Love 2010 (Dbn Remix) - Kid Kawaii & Legend B
Some Big Room Progressive.

Love No Limit (Zoo Brazil Remix) - Kai, Kyle
More Techno.  Really cool bass in this one.

You know who you are.  Don't pretend like you're making any contributions at all and good luck trying to say anything that hasn't already been said a million times already.

Now House music, that's an original medium.  Especially Progressive House, totally not the same bitch with a thousand faces.  Here are some Prog House tunes that sound like nothing you've never heard before.  Promise.

-M

To start, let's do this incredible EP:


In The Red Light (Original Mix) - CJ Stone And Chriss Ortega Feat Lyck (Golden Banana)
Wow.  Unbelievable.  The drop is just incredible, what a fucking sound they made.  Also the vocal chopping, simple but perfect.

In The Red Light (Stone And Ortega Club Mix) - CJ Stone And Chriss Ortega Feat Lyck
Techy remix while keeping the super cheesy Prog buildup.

In The Red Light (Red Light Mix) - CJ Stone And Chriss Ortega Feat Lyck
More traditional Prog sound, very much like an EDX song.

Now for some more totally unique and original Prog songs:


Major Tom (Coming Home) (Adam K & Soha Club Edit) - Shiny Toy Guns (GOLDEN BANANA)
This has become one of my absolutely favorite remixes from this already very established team.  On loop for weeks.  Oddly fast tempo, does that make this Trance...?  Regardless, it's hard to get more beautiful than this track.

My Belief (Jean Elan Remix) - Syke N Sugarstarr & DBN Feat Cosmo Klein
Really sick bass and drums on this one, sort of Able Ramos like but more interesting.  Hate the vocals though, but what can you do.  I just thank God that this is the only Prog song with terrible vocals.

Sometimes (Johan Wedel Remix) - Dim Chris, Amanda Wilson
I just hear this one exploding on a massive sound system, this bass is meant to be felt just as much as it's meant to be heard.  In other words, MASSIVE TUNE.

Shine A Light (David Tort Remix) - Kurd Maverick
More on the Techy side, a lot like Swedish Tech Prog.  The most Proggy track from David Tort I've heard actually.  And the chords, so original!  Never heard these changes before, it's incredible.

Some People Will Never Learn (Original Mix) - Dinka
A track from the hero of Swehouse.  This is one of those Prog tracks that takes me to my mental beach place.  I'm surfing, gliding my fingertips along the face of the wave.  A bombshell in a red bikini smiles at me as a gentle breeze rustles her golden hair.  She climbs onto my board and we ride tandem into the eternal sunset.  There are hi fives and thumbs ups all around.  It's pretty fuckin sick, you should totally check it out sometime.

D.O.N.S. Part 2, I love Progressive!

Another part 2 in the same day...Gee Whiz. I'm back with that champ D.O.N.S., who we posted about here, and DBN's on a lot of these back him up (will do a post on him at some later point). This is electro house but not to the same extent that Miles Dyson is. It's very calm and I feel in some ways progressive. I would have hated this guy a few months ago when all I really listned to was electro bangers. I would have said in confidence, if he only put an electro sound under some of those lines, we would get a masterpiece. Oh well, Enjoy.

Taking Control of You (D.O.N.S. Remix) by Greg Cerrone Favorite Favorite Favorite. Such a catchy line. I have been seeing Greg Cerrone a lot so I'm going to go look for him today. Cool voice too, both the vocoder and the actual one. It's taking control of me.

R U Sleeping (D.O.N.S. Remix) by Indo My Favorite of this batch by far. So fucking cool. Those crazy progressive buildup with a heavy ass bass dropped into.

Blink (D.O.N.S. & DBN Chainsaw Remix) by John Dahlback Very ravey and well produced, so cool.

Bouncing in Draut (D.O.N.S. & DBN Remix) by Feel Good Productions, Fish & Chips Really cool guitar line, not my favorite of this batch, but definitely up there.

Can You (Take Me Away) (D.O.N.S. & DBN Remix) by Damian Wilson This is a song where you really gotta wait for the big buildup. The beginning is good but the buildup and the drop are the best part, though the drop isn't an explosion that's fine though. Love Organ House, this is similar in a way to Show Me Love (aside from having the organ).

Feel The Love (D.O.N.S. vs DBN Mix) by Klaas Very calm. Nothing too special. Good but I'll forget this soon.

Get Up (D.O.N.S. Remix) by Niki Belucci Feat. Charles Salter The first buildup to this song just makes me so happy, Axwell like. It doesn't drop into something Axwellish but it's still cool, especially after the second buildup.

Happy Today (D.O.N.S. & DBN Remix) by Seany B I just like that sound being used.

Invincible (D.O.N.S. Remix) by Greg Cerrone Feat Claudia Kennaugh Great.

Listen To the Voice Inside (D.O.N.S. Remix) by Yves Larock And Steve Edwards Good but nothing too special. But it still catches me getting into it.

No Love Lost (D.O.N.S. Remix) by Skye 'N' Sugarstarr

Publish Post

Rap Das Armas (D.O.N.S. Remix) by Cidinho & Doca Gotta Love Organ House, though this organ sounds a little different.

You (D.O.N.S. Remix) by Inaya Day Great, what more could be asked for?


Expect a John Dahlback Post before the end of the day, just to continue with the electro house/ progressive.
