Cleavage – Prove (Official Music Video)

By BIGLIFE

Cleavage’s “Prove” on Spinnin’ Records is a tune. Little known secret is that it’s been out for a good while. By good while I mean a year or two. That doesn’t matter, because the video dropped last week and it’s already amassed 400,000 plays, and deservedly so. I don’t understand the video one bit (probably because I’m an American simpleton) but this groovy disco-inspired single deserves all the spins.

A-Trak ft. Andrew Wyatt – Push

It’s so hard to make a festival friendly banger without losing credibility. The line between cliche and timeless is extremely thin. (How Gallants does this is beyond me, but I digress.) Somehow, A-Trak has found a way to balance the two, creating “Push” featuring Andrew Wyatt of Miike Snow fame. The result is truly unforgettable, as “Push” has the potential to break through not only in a dance space full of predictable anthems, but also on American radio as well. A-Trak. Andrew Wyatt. Fire flames.

Nu-disco has gone glitch, and Italian producer Birdee is leading the wave with his latest release “Tornera’ Il Sole,” which literally translates to “the sun will come back.” Reminiscent of old-school dance music, meets French house, at the likes of Justice, Bob Sinclar, or Jadore, a Parisian duo we covered years back, “Tornera’ Il Sole” is one of those old school records you find at a vinyl shop, and you know you’ve got the right sample, vibes obliged, Birdee knew just what to do. This is a must listen!

HAYWYRE to assist ringleader Mat Zo for the North American MAD ZOO Takeover

10518673 10152867017587059 3441287812823682189 o 310x500 HAYWYRE to assist ringleader Mat Zo for the North American MAD ZOO Takeover

Facebook|Soundcloud|Twitter |YouTube

Meet Haywyre. Hailing from oceanside Vancouver, Haywyre is about pushing boundaries and resetting the rules of the game. Slowing down the BPM, Mat Zo has added this heavy bass bumping, beat mashing, pioneer of future electronic sound to the Mad Zoo roster for the label’s Winter Roadshow.

Adding a talent like Haywyre tells us a few things about what to expect from the Mad Zoo takeover:

1. Expect Bass –
With recent releases, Mat Zo is clearly demonstrating that trance won’t be a highlight of this show, although I’m sure the guru of the genre will find a way to incorporate those uplifting sounds into his sets one way or another.

2. Expect Energy –
The video shows it all. Adding Haywyre to the roster is clearly a logical step to facilitate an environment as uncontrollable and unpredictable as a circus. That being said…

3. Expect The Unexpected –
With Mat Zo and his crew, this is a given. This is why we go to a show associated with Mat Zo. This is why we are most excited for Mad Zoo.

We must say, however, that we are sad to see no Canadian dates …read more

Screen Shot 2014 11 15 at 11.25.56 PM 500x497 Oliver Heldens   Heldeep Radio 24

Heeeeey. This is BIG LIFE, and you’re reading another post about another episode of Heldeep Radio. This week, Oliver Heldens brings you tracks from Drop Dopers, Bakermat, Shiba San, and more. Did you read that in Oliver Heldens voice that sounds like Charlie Brown’s teacher circa 1970? I hope so. How no one has pointed this out yet is beyond me. Regardless, Oliver Heldens is my favorite artist at the moment and I can’t wait to catch a show. I wake up every Saturday morning like an excited child on Christmas to listen to a new episode every week. It’s that good. Oliver Heldens. Heldeep Radio. Love to get too deep.

You’re now in the mix. Niiiiiiiice. *Oliver Heldens Voice*

Above & Beyond – We Are All We Need (Ronski Speed Intro Outo Mash)

By JT

We Are All We Need Ronski Speed edit 500x500 Above & Beyond   We Are All We Need (Ronski Speed Intro Outo Mash)

For all those DJ’s who have been on the lookout for that perfect remix to Above & Beyond’s ‘We Are All We Need’ stop your search because we’ve found you a better alternative. Ronski Speed is no stranger to the Trance world, known for his hard hitting sounds and inspirational melodic beatservice. He’s added a little spice to the track by inserting a bass-heavy intro so unexpected its sure to drop jaws left right and center. On top of it, he’s got so much respect for the original that he left it untouched, increasing energy levels once again following its breath-taking melodic progression. This Mash hasn’t lost its Anjunabeat’s touch so for those of you looking to keep Group Therapy vibes consistent throughout your sets, here’s a new addition.

Saje – Lost Tonight (Original Mix)

By JT

Facebook|Soundcloud|Twitter

The Bearded Man has been pushing some of the weirdest, funkiest, ear-catching tuneage out there today. When Saje came to my attention I just couldn’t resist. ‘Lost Tonight’ redefines ‘Chill.’ Combining mellow vocals with an ambiance unfounded, Saje develops a digital dreamscape only accessible to those who want to capture a higher state of mind. The duo has embraced their roots, transporting us to the city of love, Paris, France. We thank them for honouring the scene with this one.

Kanye West – Deep/Slaves/Mercy (SomeOneHad2DoIt Edition)

By BIGLIFE

Screen Shot 2014 11 14 at 7.59.00 PM 499x500 Kanye West   Deep/Slaves/Mercy (SomeOneHad2DoIt Edition)

Well, here we go. Another anonymous producer on our hands. At least that’s the way it’s been billed and pitched to the masses. I can’t blame these producers for posting anonymously. Fans are close minded and will turn on you fast if you release something they’re not accustomed to. SomeOneHad2DoIt steps up to the plate to put his “future house” spin on Kanye West’s signature tracks with impressive results.

Do we have another ZHU on our hands? I’d argue it’s too early to tell. The track is good but not great. What I don’t like is their aesthetic. Using Kate Upton (who’s built like a rectangle) isn’t my cup of tea and cheapens the song in my opinion. Further, it’s less impressive from a creative standpoint now that many are attempting to follow the model that Jake Udell largely pioneered. Just my two cents.
