Dash Berlin & Alexander Popov feat Jonathan Mendelsohn - Steal You Away (Music Video)

Dash Berlin is definitely my favourite Trance DJ/producer and therefore my favourite of all time. His productions are always amazing and his live performances are absolutely unbelievable. Anyone who's seen Dash live will agree. There's a reason why he was ranked #7 in the 2012 DJ Mag Top 100 DJ's list and to be honest I think he should be ranked even higher. 

Back to the topic, Dash Berlin has teamed up with Alexander Popov and vocalist Jonathan Mendelsohn to create a typical Dash Berlin festival feel track. It doesn't disappoint. First played at EDC Chicago, this track apparently made the huge crowd go absolutely nuts. Quite understandable. A few hours ago, the official music video was released. Three women road-tripping to Vegas to watch Dash at EDC. Definitely on my bucket list!

To further treat your ears, here is Dash Berlins EDC Chicago set. Easily one of the best I've ever heard!

Tozz's Top 5 Tunes of 2012

Whatsup young homies. I've been rather quiet on SSSB so far but things are about to change. 2012 was a great year for music and with difficulty I've chosen my top 5 in no particular order. Give them a listen!

 Skeleton Key by Pleasurekraft feat. Green Velvet

Pleasurekraft has a habit of making catchy tunes that you can't seem to get out of your head. Remember Tarantula? Personally I think Skeleton Key is his best work to date. This bouncy tech track with a massive bassline had me listening to it the whole year. The vocals sound like they come from a 1970's pimp daddy and the drop comes out of nowhere to smash you in the brain!

Money Trees by Kendrick Lamar feat. Anna Wise & Jay Rock
If you enjoy hip hop and you havent heard this track by now then your life is a lie. Kendrick Lamar's Good Kid m.A.A.d City is a classic record and Money Trees is definitely the best song on the album. SSSB think this may be the best hip hop track of the year. Kendrick has one of the best flows I've heard and Anna Wise and Jay Rock make this track even better. It has an infectious hook over a beat that samples Beach House's track Silver Soul. That's just how I feel, Ya Bish!

Buzz Killington by Paul Thomas (Funkagenda Remix)
Dubstep is certainly not my favourite genre of dance music. To me 95% of it is noise, but some of it is pure gold. Buzz Killington is pure gold. Funkagenda normally sticks to the tech/progressive side of things but came out with this smashing melodic dubstep track. It took me a while to get into it but it's without a doubt one of the my all time favourites. The build up is huge and the drop is even bigger. Below is a preview. Massive!

Adam Freeland - We Want Your Soul (Klangkarussell Remix)
Deep house over the last few years has grown massively in South Africa and there's some amazing deep house that's being produced at the moment. This track's vocals have an ideological undertone about the government and corporations that feed us information that inevitably leads to them controlling us. This an amazing track. Take a listen.

Giuseppe Ottaviani feat. Betsie Larkin - Toys
If anyone went to watch Dash Berlin Godskitchen in South Africa last year you will remember that he opened with his own mashup of Toys and By The Way by Red Hot Chili Peppers. It was an unbelievable moment that I will never forget. This track is pure trance magic. Its near impossible to find this mashup but the original is just as good. Turn it up!
