The EDM bangers for today, it's some DnB !!

I wasn't sure what to put down here today but I think DnB had been the longest time so I decided to go with that. Nothing much has been happening for me lately, I'm into this girl since last weekend when I first met her and although things seemed to hit off pretty good at the start when we were over there stuff seems to slowdown and become somewhat worse right now. Really frustrating since I want to get at least a date out of her and see where this goes but as it seems now, that date might not even come...

I guess we'll just get on with the music and if anyone has very usefull advice on females, just leave it in the comments.

Everyone that is into DnB should know this one already but nontheless I'm posting it because the tune is awesome and everyone that's new to DnB should start off with stuff like this. It shows everything that is good about the entire genre. Here is one of the legends, Sub Focus - Rock It (Original Mix):



And the second song of today is another legend. He is probably less known but still makes some awesome tunes. Most of his stuff is instrumental but also very different, like it has the DnB speed but at same time is very mellow (at least to me it is) and that's pretty unique. Here is S.P.Y. - Eclipse (Original Mix):



Well, I hope you enjoy today's tunes again and I hope to hear from everyone again tomorrow when I'll be posting some more nice electronic dance music tunes!

Another request, here comes electro !!

So, I went clubbing yesterday (thursday is the night all college kids go out) and it was fun except for I got into a fight. We won though and the fuckers got beat good while they were taunting us. Serves them right, we weren't there to fight but if they mess with me and my mates and want it badly we are kind enough to oblige. Guys were sick pussies too. One of my mates only got a little scratch on his arm from taking them down to the ground. Shame we (and them as well) got kicked out after that incident but whatever, we were about to go home anyways.

I got another request yesterday for more electro house and I hope this will get me visitors because traffic on here has been dead lately. I had quite a solid group of followers grown quick from the start but people seem to be slacking in looking here for great music. Makes no sense too, people need to hear these tunes!

Ok, today's first tune is from the absolute king (in my opinion at least) of electro house. It's Lazy Rich and he pretty much only makes electro tracks and all of them are freaking solid. This is Lazy Rich & Hirshee - Blast Off! (Original Mix):



If you like electro, look his stuff up and enjoy. Particularly like the vocals in that track! The second one is an absolute hit of this summer. At least, all the good DJ's have heard it and played it, still all the small time boys following the trends from the big boys haven't quite picked up yet and aren't really playing this. Heard it in a smaller club only for the first time yesterday while I am already playing it for a solid 4-5 months. Probably a sign I should be able to go big time because I don't follow the trends, I set them! Here is Congorock - Babylon (Original Mix):



No go back up and listen to Babylon again with your subwoofer set to the max. It makes the song at least 3x as good!

That's it for today, got a slow weekend ahead of me so I'll post some more. Keep checking back and give me some love.

Some more Russian candy ??

To the people who haven't been following me since the beginning, I'm talking about more breakbeat. Since it was my first post, it obviously been a long time since I did one on this genre and so I decided to do one on it again. Personal life is good btw and not much to tell about so I'll get to the music real quick.

The first song is by a producer from Belarus (that's still fucking Russia to me) and he made some sick tracks but I don't love all of his stuff. This one is pretty damn crazy though. Here is 4Kuba - Dildoes (Original Mix). Yes, before you ask, this song is really about dildoes, those stuff that women put into their vagina's to pleasure themselves. Although, I must admit, that could be various items...



And here is another track I really like. I think it's actually produced by a bunch of crazy British people but whatever. The fuckers make what is music mainly being played in the old Russia country so I think they can be put here. It's Nursery of Naughtiness - Trip It (Radio Mix):



So, I hope you people like those pearls of breakbeat tracks and are begging for more. Remember, if you have any requests just let me know and I'll be happy to oblige. Until then, stay tuned for the next post with sick electronic dance music tracks!

Back to the old-skool days... At least for me...

Ok, I was planning this for some time now. This is a blog about electronic dance music, still very true but I wanted to tell a little something about my own music development. I started out playing piano at a young age and quite after like 2-3 years. Puberty hit and I just couldn't care anymore. I started skateboarding and you know how that age can change everything. After some time of listening to punk and softer forms of metal I started getting interested in producing that kind of music myself. After some time I decided to pick up the drums (well, not literally ofcourse, they are kind of heavy to pick up all at once) because I was always a very rhythmic person. I obviously love good written melodies but rhythm has always been my main passion.

Now I wanted to post some songs that I'd love to drum (and was actually able to play). I only drummed for 1-2 years so not too long but I was pretty good at it. I stopped because friends went apart and I didn't have any music making buddies anymore. At that time I also started getting into EDM again (I was into EDM even before I hit puberty believe it or not) and once again became interested in picking up the piano (to write melodies for my own EDM tracks) and starting to DJ.

The first song I wanted to post is Soulfly - Tribe. The first concert I ever went to in my entire life so the band still has a pretty special place for me and I love this song in particular because of the massive percussion in it:



The second song is from Cataract. Probably nobody here actually heard of this band before since they are pretty small. It's a hardcore band from Switzerland. I was into hardcore just before I got back into EDM for almost a solid year. This intro has always fascinated me. It was extremely hard to pull off and took me too long to learn (especially the part around 11 seconds in) but was totally worth it, I loved playing it. So here is Cataract - Legions At The Gates:



So, there you have it. This might get me some extra metalheads following my blog and get them into EDM and the EDM fans now know that not every single DJ was always into that kind of music, some big artists were playing other genres before.

Stay tuned for my next post with more EDM! So all the EDM fans shouldn't get disappointed by this one post!

I´m in RAGEMODE !! Let´s do RAGEMUSIC !!

Ok, I´m going to keep this one short again because I´m absolutely pissed off and raging hardcore. My PC broke down and just got back this friday, worked good for a day and now it´s fucked once more. Apparently there is still something broken and it needs to get back to repair once-a-fucking-again and my dad is pissed at me for asking help getting my PC back to the shop (what does the retard expect, for me to take it on the back of my bike and ride 25 km over there to get it repaired) so I´m in a shit mood.

Still, I didn´t want this to mean I´m not posting any music today so I will.

We´ll do some techno for this time. We´ll start off with this one, it´s a true hit and getting quite some support overal.

Here is Siwell - 2048 (Original Mix):



And for the second song we got Spiros Kaloumenos - Doom (Original Mix):



Hope you enjoy the tracks and I´ll get back to you with some fresh ones (and hopefully a longer post where I am not completely raging) tomorrow so please keep checking back.

One of Holland's finest... HARDSTYLE !!

So, I'm going to keep this one short again because today I got a family reunion thingie during the day and at night I'll be out clubbing so I need to prepare right now. You know, take a shower, pack some stuff and make myself look good for the ladies.

I am not really sure if people who regularly visit my blog will like this so give me some feedback on this one. It's a genre that pretty much completely originated from the Netherlands and is very mainstream here (while in lots of other countries where it's represented, it's very underground, except for Italy). Basically all the freaking artists who make this stuff even come from the Netherlands apart from an odd few. It's called hardstyle for people who might never heard of it before.

Let's start with the first song. This is one of my favorite and it needs to be played with a load bass. It's Noisecontrollers & Zany - Diavoli (Original Mix):



And here is another one of my favorites. Especially the interlude is fucking awesome. I'll keep it short, it's Dutch Master (go figure where this fucker is from) - Fly Like A Rocket (Original Mix):



So, I'll get back to you either tomorrow or monday (not sure if I even have time to post tomorrow, weekend = busy, busy, busy) and give you some stuff about how my weekend went and some new and fresh tunes.

We forgot progressive house...

Well, almost did at least! Let's first start with the personal stories for today. No university work so that was nice, just went to my best friend and hung out a little and later he's going to come by and help me install my computer because my computer is finally back! Most of you won't know this since I just started this blog but I ordered a brand new computer (if there are any tech geeks here interested in the specs, let me know and I'll post those tomorrow) and the internal memory broke after like a month time. I guess it was a production error or whatever and the memory was just bad. Anyways, so it went back to the shop where I ordered it and they fixed it for me but it took them a freaking MONTH! The fuckers even told me they'd send along a little present for my little waiting time but I didn't get shit, just my PC... Why the fuck do they promise shit if they ain't planning on actually giving it? Whatever I guess, I'm just going to never order there ever again, that's for sure.

So, let's get on with the important stuff. At least, for you guys, because you probably couldn't care less about my PC being fixed. As you can see, today is about progressive house, it's a mix between, well, normal house and trance and since trance is a huge Dutch sausage fest you can imagine a lot of Dutchies also being active in the production of progressive house tunes. So it probably won't surprise you (since I am Dutch myself) that I'm starting off with another track made by one of my fellow countryman. Now I usually think almost all of his tracks are utter crap but this is one of the few awesome tracks he made.

Let's start of with the first song. It's one of the mixes from Erick Morillo even and I truely adore Erick Morillo. He is actually one of the few minds in the electronic dance scene that knows his stuff AND is from the USA. I'm like, wtf! Don't mean to offend people but most Americans that are into EDM don't know utter shit (by coming to this blog you made a huge step of progression though, keep at it, there is still hope). Here is Afrojack - Radioman (Original Mix):



Oooh, and before I forget, if you're interested in where Erick Morillo used it in his mixes, check out Subliminal Sessions 12. Now, to get on with the 2nd track. Yet again, it's one of the tracks Erick Morillo used on Subliminal Session 12. This is one of my favorite tunes of all time. Yes, of all time! You know how they say you got to keep the best for last? That's why I posted this tune as the 2nd instead of the 1st. You might know it already. It's Mark Knight & Funkagenda - Man With The Red Face (Original Club Mix):



Also, if you don't like this last song (give it time though, it's a long track has an intro, it's not going to be a stomper from the start) you should probably have another look at your musical taste because 98/100 shot that your musical taste is actually complete shit. If you did enjoy the last tune than I can congratulate you (even if your an American, you are now of the kind like Erick Morillo) you are one step closer to knowing your stuff in the EDM scene and aren't a complete mongoloid.

Guys, if you have anymore requests on stuff I need to post on (I know I Love Weed wanted even more DnB, he can wait until monday where I promise him I'll post more DnB) just leave a comment underneath and I'll take it into consideration. Enjoy these tunes and especially enjoy your weekend, may the drinks/drugs spill all around and the parties/raves NEVER end!
