We Once Had An Empire

Here is the newest song released off of Avicii’s record label LE7ELS. This sounds very much like some Avicii’s older songs. Looking forward to future releases from them.

Hardwell released his newest track on Beatport with Dyro this morning around 6:40 am and if you haven’t been following Hardwell you really should. He is definitely a front runner candidate for DJ of the year. This track is huge and was debuted at Ultra this past spring. If you don’t download this you have no soul.

This song has such an interesting buildup and drop. Personally I like it a lot, because it strays away from the typical progressive house these days. Check it out for yourself below. Full version comes out later this month.

Vocals in this are too nice. Project 46 does a great job of combining the two songs in this nice house mashup. Bump this.

Alesso is back. This time he gives us a preview of his new song coming out April 2nd. The preview is enough to tie you over until then. Hope everyone has an unreal spring break, more posts to come.

Shout out to Muss

Bruno Mars Vocals and an absolutely filthy house remix by The 8th Note & Weekend Heroes. This has been my jam this weekend. Get it.

I know I’m late on this on this one, but I figured that if I missed this one some of you may have as well. This is a nice dance jam by the Stafford Brothers, its also good to see Weezy go in on this track. It has a little bit of everything.
