Preview: Swedish House Mafia - Save The World (Style Of Eye & Carli Remix)

Preview: Swedish House Mafia - Save The World (Style Of Eye & Carli Remix)

Still riding on the remnants of 2009's peerless Leave The World Behind, the trio propelled themselves through 2010 with the devastating force of the vigorous One and their Fall contender Miami 2 Ibiza alongside Tinie Tempah. They have branded themselves as an uplifting, energetic and influential group of superstars and entered 2011 as nothing but. As premiered by Steve Angello in Australia during March of this year, Save The World came into the light of day as the eagerly anticipated 3rd single from the three members of Swedish House Mafia jointed. Graced with the sensitive voice of fairly unkown Swedish singer John Martin, the single busted iTunes' and many other digital stores' global charts within the hour on May 13th. Still being on an ascent, a remix package was announced just days afterwards. In front of two million listeners, the world heard Pete Tong giving hugely talented Alesso's remix a world exclusive spin in his weekly Essential Selection on BBC Radio 1.

It's now time to shed light on the next challenger for the upcoming remix package. Hailing from Sweden capital, Style of Eye and Carli - a couple of producers known for their distinguished sounds and with releases on Refune and Universal under their belt, they are now firing across their remix to EMI headquarters for the awaited release on June 10th in Europe and Australia and 14th worldwide.. Whilst maintaining the stripped piano lead of the original, the two Swedes deliver an offering, crammed with immense catchy tones and sounds, enhancing the tripod's original to a full-on, feel-good club peak-timer.

Preview: Roger Sanchez feat. MC Flipside & Mobin Master - Worldwide

Preview: Roger Sanchez feat. MC Flipside & Mobin Master - Worldwide
Release Date: June 7, 2011
It is a select group of people that can say they have traveled the world, and an even smaller group will find themselves in a different city almost every night.  For Roger Sanchez, it is not uncommon seeing him in 2 or 3 different countries in one week.  As Sanchez states, his life has become a series of 'flashing lights'.  As the lights settle Roger finds himself in a new country, in a new club, leading another epic party.  Thus Roger’s theme for 2011 'flashing lights', and the debut of his highly anticipated single, “Worldwide” in collaboration with Mobin Master ft. Mc Flipside.
“Worldwide” starts with Roger’s signature percussion, only to dive into a bass-heavy club beat.  The song picks up momentum as MC Flipside's vocals enter creating the songs catchy hook.  The lyrics, representative of Roger's global lifestyle, will no doubt become an anthem chanted at clubs “from Ibiza to Roma, London to Barcelona”.  The track is a steady builder, with Mobin Master adding production to lead the track into a frenzy.  Buzzing synths keep you on your toes and maintain the high level of energy.  "Worldwide" is Roger returning to his club roots, a track that again proves why Roger remains one of the most in-demand DJ’s across the planet.
“Worldwide” is a celebration of what Roger Sanchez has always believed.  No matter where you are around the globe, music has a way to bring everyone together.  And with the smash that is “Worldwide” Roger unites the world into one major dance floor celebration.
Besides the original this package contains a slammin' Dutch remix by Bobby Burns.  Part 2 will see Santos and Adrian Lux on remix duties.

Balance 019 mixed by Henry Saiz

Balance 019 mixed by Henry Saiz

The Spanish electronic producer Henry Saiz brings his unique formula to the esteemed mix series with an exciting conceptualized approach. Through attempting to occupy the creative space closer to that of an artist album, rather than a club mix, Henry has delicately created an odyssey in sound for the latest installation, Balance 019.

CD1 explores how music has the power to contain and store personal emotional experiences. This is the characteristic that Henry loves most about music, that ‘evocative power to send you back to your childhood or to a specific moment of your life’. In order to create that evocative and psychedelic atmosphere, this CD has an elaborated crafted lo-fi sound through the use of varying analogue formats such as cassette or vinyl. Saiz expertly harnesses his intricate knowledge of sound through the use of a multitude of layers, sampling, edits and the use of lot of vocals to create a melodic and intense experience that attempts to connect with memories and complex emotions.

Following the same concept, but offering up a balance is CD2, which is more geared towards the dance-floor. As ever, the track selection is eclectic in its outlook, but has a definite tech-house feel that is tinged with the influence of House, melodic Techno, Disco and Detroit alongside the plethora of styles Saiz uses for his musical motivation.

Adding to the experience is the fact that Henry has chosen to use only unreleased productions and exclusive collaborations with other artists. So there are plenty of rare inclusions on the track-list that make for a completely fresh listening experience.

Notable highlights are Saiz’s own new downtempo version of “Lady in the Mirror” and new tracks from him like “Eterno Retorno”, which effortlessly fuses the past and present. Exclusively made for this are collaborations with Marc Marzenit, Dosem and Pional. New tracks like “Together” by Border Community’s Ricardo Tobar and Petar Dundov aka Solar Sailor’s “Horizons” revisit Henry’s musical journey with their distinctive progressive and futuristic sound.

Additionally Henry’s new moniker ‘Hal Incandenza’ is featured here for the first time and offers up some amazing productions in the form of “Little Mountain” and also “Mystical Tree”.

Following the precedence set by previous featuring artists such as James Holden, Agoria and Joris Voorn, Balance 019 is another truly breathtaking outing from one of electronic music’s gifted proponents, and fully lives up to the forward-thinking expectations of the seminal mix series.

01. Intro – Taped memories, voice notes, still moments, through an old radio in a ghostly artificial paradise

Maya Jane Coles - new queen of the underground

Maya Jane Coles - new queen of the underground
New 2020 Vision Release For Hot Young Prodigy
She’s one of the biggest success stories in electronic music over the past 12 months. Nominated in DJmag’s Best Breakthrough Producer category at the Best Of British Awards at the end of 2010, Maya Jane Coles is one of the hottest DJs in the world right now. But behind this meteoric rise, there has been a lot of hard work over the past few years.
“I never expected this much hype in such a short space of time,” the 23-year-old tells DJmag, “but I've been making music for a lot longer than a lot of people realise, so for me it's been a much longer journey. A lot of people think stuff like this happens over night, but that's not the case — it takes a hell of a lot of hard work over time.”
 She started making music in her mid-teens on her dad’s primitive equipment, and soon was enrolled on music production courses in east London. She started going to trendy east London parties like Mulletover and Secretsundaze at 16, and began to devote all her spare time into producing her own music. She scored releases on Real Tone — ‘What They Say’ — and Dogmatik, then Hypercolour and Mobilee, and now has a new EP on Ralph Lawson’s ever-consistent 2020 Vision label.


 “Ralph got in touch with me after hearing my release on Real Tone and asked if I could do an EP for 2020,” she says. “Unlike a lot of the other labels that were getting in touch at the time, Ralph wasn't just looking for club/house tracks and I liked his open minded attitude to what I could include on the release.”
 “I have a lot of respect for 2020 as a long-standing solid label and was happy to be part of the roster,” she continues. “I sent him four tracks — one which was an older production, and three that I had started much more recently — and bam, we had an MJC EP on 2020.”
 The genre-defying title track on the ‘Focus Now EP’ shimmers magnificently with a bleepy twilight synth sitting atop intricate percussion. ‘Little One’ is more of a deep house groove, with distant vocals by Maya herself, while slower electro-pop ditty ‘Senseless’ has a full ethereal vocal from Maya that highlights this added dimension to her prodigious talent. EP closer ‘The High Life’, meanwhile, is an aching soulful deep tech string-y end-of nighter with a great under-the-ground bassline, rounding off a package that demonstrates what a diverse talent Maya is.
 The EP is already out on vinyl, and gets its Beatport exclusive on May 30th before a full digital release on June 13th.
Maya Jane Coles - new queen of the underground
 “A track for me can take anything from a couple of hours to a couple of months of going back and forth,” she tells us. “Usually the stuff I'm most satisfied with is the stuff that comes naturally and quite instantly. It's not as satisfying when something becomes a chore to finish.”
 As befits such a breakthrough talent, Maya’s DJ gig diary is rammed at the moment, and she says she’s especially looking forward to playing at the Exit and Glastonbury festivals as she’s never been to either. She hopes to finish her album by the end of the year, and has some collaborations coming up that she’s very excited about.

Sebastien Leger to debut live show at Ministry of Sound 28.May

Sebastien Leger to debut live show at Ministry of Sound 27.May

There is no reward, without risk. French DJ and producer Sébastien Léger knows this. On Saturday, he’ll be debuting a brand new untested live show at London’s Ministry of Sound nightclub this Saturday, something that he admits will be a bit of a challenge.

“You never know what can happen with a new live show,” he says. “A computer crash, random bugs, MIDI drop outs. But that’s what makes it really exciting!”

For his live show, the Frenchman will be bridging old technology, the machines that were first used by producers in Detroit and Chicago at the very beginning of electronic dance music, with modern software and computers. 

At the heart of his set up will be an Apple Macbook Pro with Ableton Live 8. “It is divided into three main parts, the tracks, the loops, and the drum machines,” Sébastien Léger says.

He’ll also be using a Lemur, the touch-screen MIDI controller, which will be configured as a step-sequencer to program drums on the fly. “It’s set up just like how the old Roland TR909/808s used to work,” says Leger, with obvious excitement in his voice.

The Lemur will also be used to control some of the parameters in Ableton, such as Beatrepeat, track volumes, and tools. Léger will also be using two UC33e MIDI controllers. “One will control Ableton’s internal mixer, FX and filters. The other one is dedicated to control the sounds from the step sequencer of the Lemur.”

The pièce de résistance of Sébastien Léger’s live set up will be an original Roland TB303, the legendary sequencer/synthesizer which features in so many classic dance tracks.

“I’ll use the TB303 to produce acid baselines which I can combine with the Lemur's sequencer for the beats. It’s very special as it is the first USB TB303 ever created,” he says.

Sébastien Léger will unveil his debut live show on Saturday night at Ministry of Sound for his Mistakes Music party. The Frenchman specifically chose the famous London nightclub, “as it has one of the best soundsystems in the world”.

His set will also differ significantly from his usual DJ sets. “The live show will consist 100% my own music,” he explains. “I’ll be playing some new music, some unreleased tracks, and some classics that I’ve re-edited just for the show, and I’ll be freestyling with my drum machines and 303 over the top.” For fans of Sébastien Léger then, it will most certainly be a night to remember.

Carl Cox will release new album "All Roads Lead To the Dancefloor" on USB Stick

Carl Cox will release new album "All Roads Lead To the Dancefloor" on USB Stick

Carl Cox uses new USB technology to release an updatable album...
Carl Cox has concocted a real treat for his fans. This summer, his new album ‘All Roads Lead To The Dancefloor’ will be released through a pioneering USB format.
“The USB will not only give you the album, but it’ll also be your key to everything I do in the next 12 months or so,” said Cox.
This project is unlike any that have come before it, creating an album that virtually keeps giving. The USB, which will be sold for £20, will be continuously updated with new and interactive content.
In addition to receiving the album, those who purchase the USB will have priority access to footage from Cox’s video interviews, tour rehearsals and gigs, album remixes, exclusive sets recorded from Space Ibiza and access to the entire Intec Digital catalogue.
The USB stick will also include pertinent info for aspiring DJs, including tutorials, tips and tricks with Carl, behind the scenes at a sound check, a Pioneer Rekordbox tutorial, and more.
“I’m asking people to buy the USB, and I’m promising that with the singles, the videos, the actual album, plus all the extras – they won’t be disappointed,” said Cox.
The album took Cox one year to record in his Melbourne studio and contains 20+ tracks. Made exclusively for the dancefloor, the album showcases several different musical styles, including vocal house, dubstep, drum & bass, Latin and techno.
“I didn’t want to just put it online and let that be that. I’ve spent too long on it, and it’s too important to me to be degraded that way,” said Cox
The first phase of the release will be available on 1st August via the updatable USB stick. Pre-orders will be available online via www.intecdigital.com.
“This is how it works: The USB interface is essentially a website home page, where most features don’t require to be connected to the web, making it usable on the train, in flight and in remote locations. It allows you to stream, as well as download my album and remixes (set over the three phases), but also gives you access to the entire Intec Digital catalogue, videos from my gigs and behind the scenes, as well as tips & tricks. It also comes with an awesome Pioneer Rekordbox tutorial, with content, news and extras being continually uploaded to the USB. There are also plans to feature my shows LIVE this autumn. Why you may wonder? Basically, I wanted to make something extra and something really forward-thinking to mark the release of this album, which as some of you may know I’ve been working on for some time now. And I think we’ve achieved it.said Cox.
