Night Sh!ft is back at it again with another killer podcast for us! Coming off their first performance at Pacha NYC the duo delivers with tons of electro/progressive choons. They’ve entered the Hardwell’s Mix Competition, and if chosen the guys will get to open for Hardwell along with the rest of the Reveal crew. Big Congrats on their recent success and check out the dope mix for yourselves below!
For those of you unaware of the radio show called “The drop” I highly recommend you begin to tune into their weekly podcast. Every week, hosts mass7 (Matan Segal) and 15 Step (Brett Schupack) carefully and masterfully combine the hottest progressive, electro, dubstep, and house choons together for our listening pleasure while informing the Philly, dC, and NYC area of the latest shows, reviews, and latest news from the electronic music industry. I love the podcast and the effort the guys put into it and tune in as often as possible. This past week, they were lucky enough to celebrate their 50th episode with massive guest mixes from Leon Bolier, Lazy Rich, Maor Levi, Gabriel and dresden and a 50th episode mix from mass7 to end out the week long celebrations. Congratulations on the amazing show boys, can’t wait to see what the future holds in store. We’ve got all of their sets here to listen, along with download links for them. If you love them as much as we do give them a like on Facebook, follow them on Twitter, and subscribe to their podcast on iTunes!
Man, I am DYING to see Chuckie live. The wild Dirty Dutch king has given us this mashup of Alesso and dirty South’s “City of Dreams” with Dada Life’s “Kick Out The Epic Motherfucker” that SERIOUSLY goes off. And it’s a free download too? HYFR. Grab it for yourself today!
I’d like to introduce you to the phenomenal British Dj/producer Electric Joy Ride. The new talent caught my attention with this awesome light progressive-electro track he worked on alongside of Russian producer Dynamics. This melodic track will have you grooving the second you play with the synth melody definitely having the potential to be stuck in your head for a while. Check it out and download it for free!
I heard this song this past weekend and I knew I had to share it ASAP. LKiD gives us one of the bounciest house tunes I’ve heard in a long time. Crank up those speakers and get ready for 50,000 watts of that funky house music.
Literally get goosebumps hearing this vocal sampling everytime. Vicetone absolutely slayed this remix of Hook N Sling vs. Nervo that would have any fan of progressive house in love with it from the moment they hear it played, masterfully combining the beautiful vocals with incredible synth work that make everyone happy. Check it out for yourself and grab the free downloads for yourself!

2012 has been a musical awakening for me in so many ways, being introduced to electronic dance music as well as finding a new found passion for the entire art form itself. It has allowed me to meet a multitude of incredible people as well as given me some of the best tracks that an iPod could ever ask for. I was able to attend a bunch of big and small concerts that I never would’ve been to before, as well as opened the doors to many festivals that I have begun to plan for 2013. These 5 tracks can truly define the type of year I had with music and after difficult deliberation I was able to come up with these as my favorite from 2012.
5. “Spectrum” – Zedd feat. Matthew Koma
Possibly one of the biggest breakthrough artists of the year, Zedd was put on the map with his incredible EP of Spectrum that was an anthem in thousands of sets around the globe. Incredible beautiful vocals driven by a crazy electro house drop that stuck with thousands!
4. “Original Don” – Major Lazer (Flosstradamus Remix)
This has to be one of the remixes that brought trap music to the forefront in a mainstream sense and one of the first trap songs I listened to myself. Flosstradamus killed Major Lazer’s Original Don, adding a grimey bassline that would literally get any party raging and had me shouting “RUN THE TRAP” whenever someone was changing a song at a party. Blast this and drop it loooow when we hit the trap.
3. “Arc” – Tritonal vs. Super8 and Tab
Trance has to be the genre that I can truly say I identify with entering into 2013. From countless podcasts and radio shows ranging from A State of Trance to Global DJ Broadcast, “Arc” has gotten a considerable amount of airwave time and for good reason. An incredible uplifting track that’ll bring a smile to anyone’s face guaranteed and one that I wasn’t able to get out of my head all year.
2. “The Veldt” – Deadmau5
Probably one of the most incredible DJ/Producers I’ve ever listened too (and the Dj I’m most excited to see at Ultra Music Festival 15) Deadmau5 has been killing the game for as long as I can remember. The Veldt evokes such raw emotion from anyone who hears it and truly had a special place in my heart from the second I heard it.
1. “Everyday” – Eric Prydz
Probably the production of the year in my opinion is “Everyday” by Eric Prydz. I have heard from multiple sources that the Roseland Ballroom performance may have been the performance of the year with production, sound, and atmosphere to be rivaled by nothing else. I truly hope that progressive house producers have taken what Pryda has done with this song and work to return to the roots of the genre creating unique and uplifting music that can be differentiated between.
