Weekend Wonders

Well it's been quite a while hasn't it? This will be a variety post, deep house, trance, electro and a bit of DnB (kinda). Lets not waste anymore time. Enjoy!

Pryda - Power Drive

The name of this track couldn't describe the song any better. Eric Prydz, the guy that made that track "Call On Me" about 10 years ago? If you don't remember it, its got that video of an aerorobics class of women in tights and one very happy guy. That pretty much sums it up. Yeah this is the same guy, just under his Pryda alter-ego. Let me tell you, this guy is definitely one of the best producers in dance music today! The production quality on his PRYDA album is unbelievable and this track is no different. "This makes me wanna punch a bear through a wall" (As seen on twitter). It's got a dark melodic build-up and then all of a sudden it drops into electro goodness!

DNS Project - Shatter/Gauntlet

Estonian Rene Pais aka DNS Project under Coldharbour recordings released an unbelievable two track EP. I honestly can't pick which one is better. Both are melodic trance masterpieces! Definitely will be listening to these for a long long time.

Maya Jane Coles feat Karin Park - Everything

The first single off her forthcoming album, Comfort. I love this so much. MJC's productions are always slick and this one is no different. "Everything" has one of the sickest basslines I've heard in a long time. Its a very dark yet very groovy deep house track. Bassssssss!!!

Atapy feat Louisahhh - Get Familiar (Original Mix)

So I was checking out my mates blog (www.deepjams.blogspot.com) (SICK BLOG, CHECK IT OUT!) and I came across this and it made me a very happy chap. I had to steal it, sorry mate ;) Huge wonky bassline and some wonderful vocals from Louisahhh. This is groovy and funky and I like it. You will also like it.

Sub Focus feat Alex Clare - Endorphins  

Sub Focus, aka Nick Douwma is back with another sick tune! I seem to enjoy the music this UK DJ makes, even though I'm not a big DnB/dubstep listener. Alex Clare, UK singer/songwriter takes care of the vocals which are very enjoyable. This song also has a video, which is also really cool. Really loving this! Check out the music vid!



Tommy Trash has taken care of the remix with his signature uplifting, festival kinda vibe. Also enjoying this! Good work Tommy!

On Repeat. Tunage of the Week

Top down chillin'. Ideal for some new tunes. There were a few tunes that were on repeat for this week.

Mac Miller feat Kendrick lamar and Iman Omari - Fight The Feeling

Mac Miller makes some of the laid back hip-hop I've ever heard. And it's sick! Fight the Feeling is off his independent mixtape Macadelic released in March 2012. Produced by Iman Omari who also lays down the hook and Kendrick with another verse. I don't even need to talk about Kendrick's mad skills. Overall, sick track besides for the porno part at the end (good heavens!)

BT - Skylarking (Original Mix)

Easily one of the beautiful and well produced progressive house/trance tracks I've ever heard. BT has been around forever and you can hear it in his production quality. Skylarking is almost 11 minutes long and it's a masterpiece. And that's the end of that.

Dinka & Leventina - Elements (2013 Reload)

Dinka and Leventina , two Swiss Dj's have taken their classic progressive track from 2010 and turned it into a track suitable for 2013. Its absolutely crazy!

Gabe - Downer (Original Mix)
This one is for all the deep house fans. This sick organ based deep house track has been played many times in the last week. You definitely have to turn the bass up for this one!

Ultra Music Festival - A State of Trance

Ultra Music Festival is without a doubt one of the biggest electronic dance music festivals in the world. Held every year in March, hundreds of thousands of people from across the globe gather in Miami to party with argueably the biggest DJ lineups there have ever been. This year, the festival takes place over two weekends (March 15th-17th and 22nd-24th) at Bayfront Park in Miami. And yes, the lineup is bigger then ever before. Think of a DJ and they'll probably be playing at Ultra this year. Dont believe me? Check out the lineup so far. Hard to believe that its not even complete yet.

A huge attraction for many is the "ASOT" stage on Sunday in the megastructure. Hosted by the worlds number 1 DJ Armin van Buuren, this part of the festival draws huge crowds due to it having the best trance lineup in the world with the likes of Ferry Corsten, Cosmic Gate and Gareth Emery taking to the decks. If you are a raver then this surely has to be high up on your list of things to do before you die. Take a look at this video from the ASOT stage last year! That shit cray!

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!

Pleasurekraft feat. Green Velvet - Skeleton Key (Original Mix) [Great Stuff]
 

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!
Money Trees - Kendrick Lamar

 

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.
We Want Your Soul (Klangkarussell Remix) by Klangkarussell

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!
Giuseppe Ottaviani & Betsie Larkin - Toys
