FIVE picks for FRIDAY (SEPTEMBER 21)

It's a Deniz Koyu kinda day... I had the chance to see him in Croatia at "Beat The Heat" and MISSED it. I'm still kicking myself about that one. He's a must see on my list - so high energy, aggresive, smart - Fedde's right hand man. Lot's of you are probably familiar with his collab with Winter Gordon "Follow You" which is sad, because I think he's got a huge amount of stuff wayyyyyyyy better - follow you is cheesy.. (we'll hear it on the radio, cuz their good like that) sometime next year.. 

He's got a channel too, check it: http://www.youtube.com/user/denizkoyuofficial?feature=results_main



5. Deniz Koyu - Lose Control (Original Mix)

1. Yenson - My Feeling - (Deniz Koyu Remix)

I don't care that this song's over 2 years old, I just discovered it so its fresh for my ears - this track gives me goosebumps. Standard way I know if a song is good - I can close my eyes and imagine it blasting through my car, windows down, sunshine just pouring in. This is still my favorite remix..I imagine it would be a good set closer too...it's got that energy ya know?

norin & rad unleash another banger, is that a surprise to ANYONE?

I found new Norin & Rad – and, as usual, it’s rock solid.

In all honesty, what isn’t amazing by these two lately?…..Starting with Pistol whipped, which instigated a #hashtagging mania for fans (myself included), followed with the tracks B-side entitled ‘ZION’, and finally delivering the energetic – ‘FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH’, these producers have proven over and over again that their consistent - consistently good. Above and Beyond have self-titled themselves as “Fan-boys”, declaring Norin & Rad “ producers that manage to really capture and define the sound of now”….Their unique sound takes trance in a different direction, hitting you with low, hard bass and a unique sound that’s recognizable almost every time. I thought saying I wanted to get ‘pistol whipped’ was too aggressive (creating your own verb is bad ass in itself), but when you go to a show like A&B's 'Group Therapy' and a track like 'Pistol Wip' is dropped, the only way to describe a crowd response as high in intensity as what I’ve witnessed is just that. In the same vein, ‘Five Finger Death Punch’ is all that it claims to be – an uncompromising punch of bass, right to the face. And finally, with their newest release, ‘DeVas’ (a touch softer than its predecessors, but a drop just as aggressive as ever), their firmly securing themselves as inspired producers with an incredibly creative sound. I’m convinced more and more of their genius. If you want to experience the same violent death punching, pistol whipping bass I’ve been enjoying from this Californian duo, check out the links below. Also, I’ve included their Guest Mixer from TATW. DON'T TAKE MY WORD ON IT - LISTEN and love!

it's about time.

So, after months of blowing up my friends twitter and facebook accounts with a non-stop influx of musical info that probably only I find interesting, I've decided to start a blog. My friends are now released from the curse that it is to be my friend on any type of social media outlet. I'll try to keep the shit that you probably don't care about off your facebook newsfeeds and keep it confined to my own blog. If someone reads it and digs what I'm saying/posting/sharing/spamming, that's great. And if noone does, it'll just be like it was before anyways, where I'm fairly confident 80% of my facebooking "friends" have ignored my posting's. This way, we all win.
