0678 - Welcome Back, I've Missed You All

I'm hoping this is the start of more daily updates.  My life has been absolutely insane lately with my job search living situation, and life is just chaotic.  But I realized I wasn't giving myself time to relax, and writing these posts has always been one of my favorite parts of the day. So lets get thing goin again.

Faded by Alan Walker is one of my favorite songs, Period.  Now, finally, everyone is getting their hands on it for the official remixes.  One of my favorites is Tiesto's Deep House remix.  Right from the beginning I could tell I would love this.  The intro was so smooth and just went perfectly into the main sequence.  Smooth, beautiful, and my favorite remix (but still behind the original and the restrung version).
I've said many times how much I respect people that can play music live using beatpads, the memorization and coordination is incredible.  I love watching people play on them and I feel the music they produce has so much more power because you aren't just watching someone push play.  This mix is from Nev highlighting some 250 songs from the Youtube channel MrSuicideSheep.  It is incredible, enjoy!

0432 - Keep the Busters Low

Banger Wednesday is here agian, and its time for one of the first influences of my own musical tastes to step up to the plate.  Tiesto is back with another track, collaborating with both KSHMR and Vassy to bring a really great piece to the table.  Secrets is a great track that keeps the tonality and catchiness that made Tiesto big with the signature style of KSHMR.  A big track that clubs will love as well as just dancing by yourself alone or interrupting the office party.

Also, I was going to save this for Mashup Monday but next week will be Electro-Swing Week so this needs to be shared.  What does the Ghostbusters theme need to make it better?  Did you say Lil Jon?  If so you are damn correct.  This is the most unlikely mashup I have heard in years but wow does it flow and work so much better than I ever imagined.

Give both these tracks a listen and let me know what you think!

0287 - You Can Hear Bangers Anywhere

Two bangers for you today both of which are great and should see club time for sure.  The first is a Tiesto and Dzeko & Torres Remix of John Martin's Anywhere for you.  They still maintain the beautiful vocals and combine then with some great low key stuff, slowly building until the drop hits hard and heavy.  It hits hard but it still maintains tonality and sounds excellent compared to a lot of remixes now that take out the sequences in the drop and just replace it with big room garbage.

Second up is the Audien Remix of Armin Van Buuren's legendary track, This is What It Feels Like.  I love the original and am usually a fan of Audien's work, but every other remix of the song I had heard was absolutely garbage.  This one was strange though, as it was a very subtle rework instead of trying to make it into an entire new track.  Give it a listen!

0228 - Strangely Fantasmic

First up is from Millions Like Us.  This song is strange, not my usual pick for music that I like.  Its heavy and extremely bouncy, and that is something I like.  After checking out the EP, this is still my favorite song on it and it is for sure worth checking out.  I can see this one making a killing in festival/convention play.  Millions Like Us presents Poltergeist.

Millions Like Us - Poltergeist

Your second dose for the day is the Ummet Ozcan Club Mix of Tiesto's track Wasted.  The original was high on my list of liked music, but this mix just takes it up to a whole different level.  The vocals are perfectly framed around an incredible progression and just a catchy chorus, leading into a pretty nasty big room-esk drop.  Check it out.  For the record, I like people better when I'm wasted too.

0148 - John Legend is the King

Ever since my DJ mentor and music buddy DJ XMFD told me that John Legend electro remixes existed, I have had to change my pants every time I hear a new one.  Seriously.  He has a voice that just makes you want to melt, and the thought of him doing vocals for a top house song is enough to make me want to throw money at my computer screen.  Well Tiesto got ahold of one of my favorite songs by John Legend, All of You, a seriously moving song all about loving every inch of someone for who they are not based on the stereotypes of society.  Listen to it, let me know if you love it as much as I do, and I will see you back here tomorrow for the last post of the week!

049 - That Noise is Happiness

Tiesto is the man.  I know it, you know it, everyone does.  Sadly they forget this from time to time as he is the old timer of the genre, constantly being overshadowed by the new youngsters (like Skrillex).  He really is the big name and face of the genre as a whole though, like myself, I am sure many people heard him first and Tiesto is the reason they listen to the music they do today.  This song has been on my favorites list for far too long, so I figured I would finally release it to you all.  Dyro really takes this song, and puts an awesome spin on it, leaving us wanting more.....but nobody has the key....(listen to the song).  Enjoy, and get ready for a very special BONUS free Friday tomorrow for all my people head nodding in the gym.
