Winter (Original Mix) - John Dahlback (GOLDEN BANANA)
I know I'm a bit late on this one, but if anyone has figured out how I post, I throw every track I enjoy into one playlist.  Then everyday I put it on shuffle and grab ten track at random.  I'm happy this one finally made it.  Progressive House.

Stars (Hardwell Remix) - Gareth Emery & Jerome Isma-Ae (Silver Banana)
This is going to be a Prog heavy post.  This one is of course on the Techy side.  This track will be played out at Ultra for sure.  Gonna give a shout out to my boys Jack and David there right now, can't wait to hear all about it.

Secrets in the Dark (Alex Kenji Remix) - Chris Lake
Tech House, awesome.  I used to not be so big on Alex Kenji, but this year he's really won me over.

Sleep No More (Vocal Mix) - Noir & Chris Minus
Some sick Deep House.  Some people are arguing that this will be the next thing after this Techno ressurgence.  Maybe?  But I think that it'll never have the explosive factor that the blog world craves.  Probably why my beloved French House will never come back like it was.

New Philosophy (Original Mix) - Hard Rock Sofa
Big Room explosive Progressive House.  These guys came out of nowhere it seems like, but when Axwell makes a killer remix of your track, your bound to be famous, right?

Jump (Uberjak'd Jump Up Bootleg) - Kris Kross
Electro?  But really more like Dutch/Baltimore Club.  Also is one of those songs that slows down and speeds back up for you.  SWAG.

Funky (Original Mix) - DJ Wady
House on the Tribal side.

Pour Te (Original Mix) - John Dahlback  (Silver Banana)
The B-side to his above track.  More Progressive House from one of the gods, the second buildup is so uplifting Rave perfect.  I really think that this track would have benefited from a Pryda remix.

Spoonazoid (Danny Freakazoid & Strobe Rework) - Strobe, Danny Freakazoid & Dave Spoon
Electro House with that super fun major third sound that's just so ravey and awesome.

What A Feeling (Nicky Romero Remix) - Alex Gaudino (Feat. Kelly Rowland)
Progressive House on the Housey side.

Arias: En Francais

This post marks the end of our little Mau5trap feature, hope you enjoyed it. Julien Arias, commonly known as just Arias, is a French Progressive/Electro House DJ/producer here to remind us that France still makes great House music. This Parisian makes really massive tracks, all of which are beautiful in some way. I could see him getting played by those Swedish bastards we all love, and he's collaborated with Arno Cost as well as remixed David Guetta, Tristan Garner, and Noir. Favorites up top with collection at bottom:

Atlantic (Original Mix) - Arias
If you have somehow forgotten the meaning of the word Drop, this first one in this track will surely remind you. Progressive BOMB, will destroy crowd.

Saira (Original Mix) - Arias
Another bomb, this one way more Electro. I can't really explain this one, all I can say is awesome. It's like Crystal Castles meets Big Room Electro House, since the hook is this incredible chip sound.

Tomorrow Can Wait (Arias Seat Ibiza Remix) - David Guetta And Chris Willis Vs Tocadisco
So much better than the original. Hits really hard.

Sweet Melody (Original Mix) - Arias
So beautiful, I'd love to hear this track live.

Tutu (Original Mix) - Arias
This one is very recent if I'm not mistaken. Disclaimer: contains really catchy/dancey riff, will get stuck in head.

In addition, he has a fantastic remix of Insomnia, one of the most epic House tracks of all time, but there only seems to be one version out there and it has this tiny little glitch, making it not so DJ friendly, but here it is.
Insomnia (Arias Remix) - Faithless

And now collection time. If you like the above tracks, you really should dig through these, worth your time:
