AUDIEN REMIXES THE ‘REVOLUTION’

POSTED BY JESSE CHAMPAGNE UNDER BIG ROOM HOUSE

Vive la révolution!

If you thought the original and vocal mix ofR3hab, NERVO, and Ummet Ozcan'smassive big room collab, Revolution, was something, just wait until you hear this new remix from LT3 favorite Audien.

Big, bouyant, and breathtakingly blissful, Audien's remix highlights why, deep down, we all still have a warm, soft spot in our hearts for big room house. It features fantastic synth progression and a climactic melody that you will keep replaying over and over again. Just check out that slight pause before the drop kicks in--it's bloody beautiful. Start a summer revolution, and pick it up on May 26 viaSpinnin' Records' own SPRS imprint.

PREMIERE: GALANTIS – ‘YOU REMIXES’ [BIG BEAT]

Galantis' massive second single You was destined for a remix package from the moment its bright intro chords first fanned the flames ignited by Smile.

The duo has already treated us to the Brillz, Still Young, and Tiesto vs. Twoloud remixes, and today, LessThan3 has the exclusive premiere of the You remix EP in all its glory, featuring six big takes on Galantis' compelling "Exhibit B" track in their case for stardom.

Third up after Tiesto vs. Twoloud and Still Young comes the Tom Staar remix. Staar sets the tone in a tense, high-energy fashion before easing up off the throttle to let the initial verse shine atop a trance-y synth melody. The arpeggiated notes lead to the build and the pitched-down vocal line signaling the drop, which offers a stadium-sized take on the original.

Ivan Gough & Jebu have their shot next, which reveals itself as a bass-and-kick-heavy mix in a taste of the main section preceding a foreboding build that, once again, bows to the beauty of the verse before rocketing up into trance altitudes for a single euphoric drop.

As is the popular approach with a vocal track this enchanting, Wax Motif allows ample open space for the singsong chorus to aid in the build, which leads to a big room electro drop with a pinch of sawtooth bass.

Brillz brings us home with his space-age trap take for a bit of diversity in an otherwise big room remix EP tailor-made for the mainstage. Considering the overwhelmingly positive reception this tune has received so far, these six new mixes should add to the lifespan ofYou, for which the only concern in terms of success should be the risk of playing out.

The remix EP comes out May 26 on Big Beat Records, and you can pre-order here.

THE BEATPORT BOX 08

POSTED BY JOSH BENNETT UNDER BIG ROOM HOUSE, DEEP HOUSE, ELECTRO HOUSE, TECH HOUSE

This week we've got the highly anticipated return of Oxia, plus new big room bangers from Nom De Strip and Wiwek, Tommy Trash, Otto Knows, and more. Put your rage face on.


Deep/Tech | Oxia - Perception EP [Saved]
It’s been a minute since we’ve seen any new output from French techno leader Oxia, but the wait has been more than worth it. This time appearing on Nic Fanciulli’s Saved Records imprint, Oxia delivers Perception, a two-track release crammed full of percussive, party-rocking goodness. A perfect blend between the techier sides of house and techno, both tracks are essential for those underground-leaning jocks. Pick upPerception here.

Big Room/Electro | Otto Knows - Parachute (Original Mix) [Refune]
Huge track alert! Sebastian Ingrosso’s Refune Records imprint has struck gold with their latest offering, a vocal bomb calledParachute from Otto Knows. Already boasting huge support from David Guetta and Nicky Romero and over 40k plays on SoundCloud in just 3 days, we’re pretty confident this single is going to be a big time summer festival anthem--but we’ll let you decide for yourself. Check it out now.

Big Room/Electro | Nom De Strip & Wiwek - Annihilation (Original Mix) [Rising]
With names like Nom De Strip and Wiwek on a track, you know it's going to be full of heavy tribal chants and rhythms with a techy electro undertone. Annihilation, out now on Chris Lake's Rising Music, is a surefire move by both of these producers to continue to put their names on the house music map, and it should work out quite well for them. Get annihilated here.

Big Room/Electro | Sultan & Ned Shepard vs John Dish - Renegade Master (Back Once Again) [Musical Freedom]
Those who have been around the scene for awhile will recognize this familiar Renegade Master vocal, which has graced many genres and styles in the dance music world. Now with a huge update, Sultan & Ned Shepard and John Dish provide a new home for the vocal sample over a beast of a track, complete with big peaks and valleys--the perfect ingredients for a prime time bomb. Grab the track here.

---

Big Room/Electro | Tommy Trash - Lord Of The Trance (Original Mix) [Hysteria]
Though not definitively a trance track, Tommy Trash's Lord Of The Trance is a step in the right direction for the prolific producer. We're loving the drop in this one, which sits somewhere between tweaked-out booty bass and big room electro. Here's hoping the originality streak continues for Mr. Trash on his subsequent releases. Purchase the trackhere.

SANDER VAN DOORN & FIREBEATZ GET THE GUITAR OUT

POSTED BY MIKE DAVIES UNDER ELECTRO HOUSE

Often the most difficult part of writing a track is naming it, so Sander Van Doorn andFirebeatz have kept things literal with their long-awaited collab, simply entitled Guitar Track.

Leaked months ago on Spinnin'sSoundCloud page--either by accident or as a clever PR stunt--the track created a lot of hype. With its big, brash electro grooves and the mellow, electro-acoustic axe-riff the song takes

TIESTO REMIXES JACK EYE JONES’ ‘PLAYGROUND’

Rarely does a producer break into electronic music with a name as gargantuan as Tiesto(head injury or no head injury), yet Scotsman Jack Eye Jones realizes a major milestone in his bubbling DJ career as Tiesto's Remix of his anthemic Playground releases on his very own IBZ label through Beatport this morning.

While an unknown in the States, Jack, whodescribes his sound as "the harder end of progressive electro house," has built a respectable presence in Europe. His monthly podcast series Ibiza Sessions is a regular on the Top 10 iTunes UK Chart, he's shared the stages of Ibiza's hallowed venues with the likes of Mark Knight, Dyro, and Dannic, and he made his way to Creamfields' Cream Friends Arena last year.

The release of Tiesto's Playground remix comes at the perfect time for big room fans making the sacred pilgrimage to Miami this week. The track announces its arrival with a monstrous bassline pulled along by screaming synths and deep, resounding saws. The euphoric violence transitions into voluminous melody filled with the essence of electronic beauty, a beauty that unexpectedly drops into the perfect mix of earth-shattering four-on-the-floor thumping and an insanely addictive horn synth.

Playground marks the arrival of Jack Eye Jones onto the world-wide EDM stage--expect for this anthem to crowds into a frenzy at a festival near you. Keep on the lookout for the Scotsman and be sure to pick up your copy of Playground on Beatport today!

FEED ME TO RELEASE NEW EPS, LP, NEW SPOR AND SEVENTH STITCH TRACKS

POSTED BY NICK POLIZOS UNDER DRUM & BASS, DUBSTEP, ELECTRO HOUSE, NEWS

Jon Gooch, better known as Feed Me, recently confirmed via Facebook that he is finishing up two new EPs followed by a full-length album and new material from his two alter-egos Spor and Seventh Stitch. Although the two Feed Me EPs were originally planned for Christmas of 2013 and January 2014, it's good to know that we will finally be able to hear what this spritely music deviant has cooked up. Five months ago, Feed Me released his epic 15-track LP titled Calamari Tuesday, which was every

THE TOP 15 BIG ROOM HOUSE TRACKS OF 2013

Combining the melodic and uplifting builds of progressive house and trance with the hard-hitting energy of electro house, big room house has quickly come to dominate the EDM world. When people think of "hands-in-the-air" anthems and sold out festivals, they're thinking of big room. 2013 has seen so many massive releases this list could easily have been twice as long, but we've done our due diligence to bring it down to 15.

#15

NICKY ROMERO VS KREWELLA - LEGACY (VICETONE REMIX)

When you look at back at 2013 it's clear that Nicky Romero, Krewella, and Vicetone all had an incredible year. We were hard-pressed to choose between the Beatport-toppingoriginal mix and this explosive remix, but in the end we decided to go with Ruben & Victor's version. Take everything you loved about the original and then turn the energy level up to "11". A year ago they were relatively unknown. Next year? Watch out.

CASH CASH FEAT. BEBE REXHA - TAKE ME HOME (ORIGINAL MIX)

This New Jersey-based trio first popped onto our radar with the Madeon-esque Overtimein early 2013, and since then they've done nothing but impress. Fast forward to now and they have produced Krewella's Live For The Night single and dropped their own fantastic EP. Blending catchy pop choruses with big room beats, the boys managed to land the #1 spot on Billboard Dance Radio with their smash hit, Take Me Home. Who would have thought a pop-punk band would take the EDM world by storm?

Cash Cash feat. Bebe Rexha - Take Me Home (Original Mix) [Big Beat]

#13

MAT ZO - LUCID DREAMS (ORIGINAL MIX)

The eclectic and outspoken Mat Zo can pretty well crush any kind of track he wants, and if you don't believe us, check out his genre-bending debut album, Damage Control. The highlight of the album is unquestionably Lucid Dreams, an elegant and exquisite progressive anthem that really showcases his talent and panache. It also features throwback vocals from his old D&B alias MRSA, a great touch for long-time listeners. It's a song that's meant to be heard in a big crowd, so head here to grab tickets to his current world tour.

Mat Zo - Lucid Dreams (Original Mix) [Anjunabeats]

#12

W&W & UMMET OZCAN - THE CODE (ORIGINAL MIX)

If you're looking for some "oomph" in your big room, you need look no further. This massive collaboration between W&W and Ummet Ozcan features relentless drops, in-your-face synths, and that signature Dutch big room sound that festival crowds cannot get enough of. Have you cracked the code?

W&W & Ummet Ozcan - The Code (Original Mix) [Revealed]

#11

DVBBS & BORGEOUS - TSUNAMI (ORIGINAL MIX)

"Massive" might be the understatement of the century for Tsunami. Powerhouse drums, stampeding synths, and a sing-song build make for one of the most memorable tracks of the year. Unless you were living under a rock during the summer festival season, chances are you heard it in numerous main stage sets, and chances are you freaking loved it.

DVBBS & Borgeous - Tsunami (Original Mix) [Doorn]

AVICII FEAT. ALOE BLACC - WAKE ME UP (EXTENDED MIX)

When Avicii debuted his electronic-country amalgamation at Ultra Music Festival last March, everyone was laughing. When we finally heard the finished product most of us realized, "Hey, this is actually pretty good!" 165,000,000 radio plays later (all numbers approximate), it has become one of the biggest songs of the year. The reason? Aloe Blacc's infectious vocals and Avicii's easily digestible and highly memorable sounds. "So wake me up when it's all over. When I'm wiser and I'm older..." aaaand we're hooked again.

ARTY FEAT. FIORA - GRAND FINALE (EXTENDED MIX)

It ain't a party without Arty! Words to live by, if ever there were any. Born Artyom Stolyarov, the 24-year-old Russian has risen from a small-time producer on Anjunabeats to one of the biggest artists in the industry. He released a slew of hits in 2013 such as Together We Areand Flashback, but none were bigger than Grand Finale. Arty's exceptional piano work and maturation as an artist are on full display with this banger. Party on, Arty.

HARDWELL FEAT. AMBA SHEPHERD - APOLLO (ORIGINAL MIX)

The newly-crowned #1 DJ in the World has had a monstrous year, and as such we had a very hard time including only one of his tracks on this list. Featuring the awe-inspiring vocals of Amba Shepherd, best known for her work on Porter Robinson's Spitfire EP,Apollo contains everything you have come to know and love about Hardwell--euphoric melodies, beautiful synths, and elements of both progressive house and electro. Long live the king.

ALESSO VS ONEREPUBLIC - IF I LOSE MYSELF (ALESSO REMIX)

If ever there were a sing-song tearjerker to get the crowd on their feet, this would be it. Whether you're a OneRepublic fan or not, you can't deny that Alesso's remix is out of this world. It's catchy, it's radio-friendly, and it's undeniably emotional--everything one needs to have a big-time hit. If you happen to see one of us grab a tissue when this hits the speakers, don't tell anyone.

ARMIN VAN BUUREN FEAT. TREVOR GUTHRIE - THIS IS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE (EXTENDED MIX)

This should probably come as a surprise to exactly none of you, but Armin van Buuren is good. Like, really, really good. 2013 has been yet another mammoth year for the EDM titan--he celebrated ASOT 600 at Madison Square Garden, launched yet another world tour, and dropped Intense, his fifth studio album. This Is What It Feels Like, the lead single off the album, is signature Armin--warm, inviting vocals, massive, euphoric builds, and just a hell of a good time. Nearly 20 years after his first release, Blue Fear, hit the airwaves, the talented Dutchman is still going strong. Here's to another 20 years, Armin.

TIËSTO & DYRO - PARADISE (ORIGINAL MIX)

Say what you want about his recent foray into big room progressive, but it's hard to deny that Tiesto knows how to make hits. None were bigger this year than Paradise, his collaboration with Hardwell's BFF, Dyro. Boasting an unforgettable melody and incredible sub-bass, Paradise is, put simply, a progressive masterpiece. It also served as the opener for the majority of his colossal sets, enthralling thousands of fans across the globe.

Tiesto & Dyro - Paradise (Original Mix) [Musical Freedom]

#4

KNIFE PARTY - LRAD (ORIGINAL MIX)

Best known for the face-melting collection of dubstep, moombahton, and electro, Rob Swire and Gareth McGrillen, aka Knife Party, aka two-thirds of Pendulum, flipped the EDM world on its head with the release of LRAD, the final track on their Haunted House EP. Inspired by songs like Sandro Silva & Quintino's Epic and Showtek & Justin Prime'sCannonball, LRAD is a big, bad tune equally at home in a club, a stadium, or a festival.

Knife Party - LRAD (Original Mix) [Earstorm/Big Beat]

#3

DIMITRI VEGAS & LIKE MIKE - WAKANDA (ORIGINAL MIX)

Released in early February, the runaway success of Wakanda spawned numerous emulators and copycats and served to launch Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike into the upper stratosphere of the EDM world. "Tribal" is the word here--the chants, the drop, the bass kicks, everything hearkens back to the fictional nation in the Marvel Universe. Often imitated but never duplicated, Wakanda is one of the signature songs of big room this year.

Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike - Wakanda (Original Mix) [Axtone]

#2

MAT ZO & PORTER ROBINSON - EASY (ORIGINAL MIX)

Almost a full year later and we still can't get Easy out of our collective heads. Crisp, clean, groovy, uplifting, feel-good, amazing--take your pick of the litter, because this song is all that and more. We've seen zilch from PR since the release of Easy, but don't worry, a full album is on the way.

Mat Zo & Porter Robinson - Easy (Original Mix) [Ministry Of Sound/Anjunabeats]

MARTIN GARRIX - ANIMALS (ORIGINAL MIX)

Surprise! OK, maybe not. While Helen Of Troy may have been "the face that launch'd a thousand ships", Martin Garrix's Animals was the song that launched a thousand imitators and a thousand more remixes. Not only does Animals currently sit at 83 million plays on YouTube, it has also helped Martin become the youngest producer ever to hit the #1 spot on Beatport. Last we heard, Tiesto himself wanted to do a collaboration. Not bad for a 17-year-old, eh? Congratulations to Mr. Garrix!
