0492 - Throw That Banger Tantrum

Two big banger tracks for you today.  The first comes from Tantrum Desire, with a song building up to the release of their first album "Diversified".  Get It On is a huge track with a little dash of bounce thrown in, great progression, and a really catchy chord sequence.  I can see this one absolutely killing it mixed in at a festival or just in a mix.  I hope to do something with it once I figure out why my laptop won't record audio!
Second up is a new track from James Egbert called Underdog.  A heavy hitting intense track, this one is perfect for Banger Wednesday.  Usually not my style but I really like the direction he took, still keeping good tonality and then throwing in a killer bassline.

0442 - Club Ready

Banger Wednesday is back after the week off focused on Swing, and I have been sitting on some really great stuff.  First up is a track from James Egbert, the only person I have ever heard make a "perfect track", a quote from one of my fellow DJs.  His tracks are always amazingly composed and this one is no different, Jettison is beautiful.  Great tonality, amazing progression, and a catchy and memorable hook.  Another great track from one of the most consistent artists today in my opinion.  Speaking of consistency, Dzeko and Torres are pretty high on that list for me as well.  Always putting out quality tracks that I may always not enjoy, but can appreciate.  For You has big drops, beautiful matching vocals, and just an overall festival flare.  I can see this one killing it in mixes and live in sets!

0349 - Post-Halloween Halloween

First up today on this much needed friday is a track from Lazer Lazer Lazer and Helix High called Mr. CrackSpider.  It takes samples from that youtube video about what happens when you give spiders different drugs and the kinds of webs they weave.  Its very dark and I honestly wish I had it for my Halloween week posts.  Oh well, it is still very cool and very bizarre but for sure worth checking out!

Second up is a Free Halloween Bootleg Remix album from Whiiite featuring redone versions of both old and new classic Halloween tracks.  Everything from Thriller to The Walking Dead Theme to Jaws.  Since I can't share the entire pack here, THOUGH ITS FREE AND AWESOME, I will share my favorite.  They put the Legendary track Thriller in the hands of one of my favorites, James Egbert.  Its different but still has that classic feel to it.  Give it a listen and check out the rest of the free album!

0274 - Just Stay You and Me

First on the agenda is a free song from James Egbert off his new album dropping in just a few days.  It is called You and Me, and if you like it you can pick it up for free!  The song features some very gritty and chilling vocals, along with a chill/funky vibe that carries it through the end.  It is very much his style, and a great teaser for his new album!

The second track up for today is another Stay With Me remix, but this time from Throttle.  Not only is the song really good by itself, but every remix I have heard so far is really solid.  Funky elements along with the great vocals from the original.  Give it a listen, and let me know if you like it!

0118 - Voraciously Vocal

As I have said, good vocals is usually enough to sell me on a track, and in the next few days I have some of my favorite vocal work in songs coming up.  Today I bring you my two favorite incredible and new contribution to this category.

Though I have heard of Audien, I had never heard of Ruby Prophet before this song but I will for sure be on the lookout for more tracks featuring her.  Her voice is the perfect mix to this track that plays out almost like progressive trance, which just the idea of gets me excited.  I will for sure be on the lookout for more stuff like this to share it with you all because this is honestly one of my new favorite tracks.
Audien feat. Ruby Prophet - Circles

 The second song that I have for you is just too much.  Seriously, its one of the best songs that I have heard all year, and easily in my top 5 for the year as a whole.  This track was shown to me by my good friend DJ XMFD and I was so blown away I knew that it had to be shared with you all.  Before I talk about it though, if you haven't heard of James Egbert, you are seriously missing out on one of the best artists out there.  He doesn't know how to do a bad song.  Seriously.  Everyone of his songs is always high energy, engaging from start to finish, and he incorporates an incredible amount synergy and energy.  Lets talk about the track Exit Wounds, and everything that is OH SO RIGHT with it.  The builds are great, and the drops are unexpected but fit incredibly well, especially because all the drops arent the same and each has different qualities depends on where it is in the composition.  BUT REALLY THOUGH, THE SECOND DROP *melts*.  The vocals are chilling.  I had never heard of Nina Sung before, but she may be my new favorite feature.  I want more of this, and you will too.  Listen up, and I will see you back here tomorrow for more music!
ALSO.  Discovered how to schedule posts for release, so like when I am gone over new years, I can schedule the tracks ahead of time to still have music every day!
