A$AP Rocky – Fashion Killa, Wild For The Night & Phoenix

hands down — Mon, 28 Jan 2013 01:56:35 +0000

Rap/Hip-Hop

These are easily my favorite new songs off A$SAP Rocky’s new album LONG.LIVE.A$AP. He’s the hottest rapper out there right now and ever since his smash hit Goldie hit the Internet, there’s nothing stopping him.

Sebastian Ingrosso & Tommy Trash – Reload

crocc8 — Mon, 08 Oct 2012 13:21:47 +0000

New Progressive House

Some tracks you know are going to be amazing simply by looking at the combo of artists who create them. ‘Reload’ is certainly one of those tracks. Ingrosso and Trash are two men who need no introduction as both are at the top of the game right now and have no plans of slowing down. I like most have been loving this track for a few months now and it is great to have it finally released. The [...]

Size In The Park & The Steve Angello After Party @ Pacha NYC [9/22/12]

Eazy — Wed, 26 Sep 2012 23:29:11 +0000

September 22 was a date I’d circled on my calendar the second I caught a glimpse of Steve Angello’s management team posted a clever little image featuring the Size Matters logo in Central Park with the aforementioned date listed alongside the artists and the iconic venue. With news of the separation of the greatest Electronic Dance Music trio in existence to date fresh in our minds, I was immediately intrigued to see what stops Angello would pull out on his [...]

Tommy Trash & A-Trak – Tuna Melt [Preview]

crocc8 — Mon, 24 Sep 2012 16:59:57 +0000

New Electro House

This track is a collaboration sent down from the EDM Heavens for me. Right now I am on a huge high with both of these artists. A recent back to back play from Trash and A-Trak at the Fool’ Gold Tent Friday night of Electric Zoo can certainly be to thank. Right now Tommy Trash is on an absolute run with productions. The amount of high quality music he is involved with is astounding. His collaboration with Sebastian [...]

John Dahlback – Sing That [Preview]

Eazy — Wed, 19 Sep 2012 19:19:53 +0000

New Progressive House

For as long as HandsDownMusic has been in existence I’ve preached that Swedish producer John Dahlback is one of the most underrated talents in the electronic music world. I don’t know what it is, maybe his sound doesn’t translate well to bigger festival crowds or maybe he just doesn’t enjoy making the trip over seas to play American festivals or maybe I’m just looking at the wrong ones, but whatever it is I don’t seem to see [...]

Project 46 & DubVision feat Donna Lewis – You & I

crocc8 — Wed, 19 Sep 2012 02:42:31 +0000

Progressive House

Another new duo is emerging from the ever giving music factory known as the Netherlands. It seems everyday some new up and coming producer is emerging onto the scene, but I promise you DubVision is the real deal. They bring their own sound to every production. It is a combination of high energy synth work accompanied by an emotional drop. Yes that sounds like every other producer, but that’s why we actually listen to the music and don’t just [...]

Wolfgang Gartner – Love and War EP

Eazy — Mon, 17 Sep 2012 22:05:40 +0000

New Electro House

American dj/producer Wolfgang Gartner just dropped his second two song EP package of recent months and, yet again, his efforts have resulted in the affirmation of his unique aptitude toward refreshing electro outfitted stylings. The ‘Love and War EP’ sees Gartner return to his roots in a fantastic pair of offerings featuring the haunting and ominous style that we’ve all come know and love. ‘Love and War’ is an energetic house-y track, and an easier listen, [...]

9/13/2012 | SEE UMD Presents: Back To School Slam featuring 3LAU, XV and Carousel

Concert Announcement/Preview

When I first heard about this back to school concert featuring 3LAU, XV and Carousel, I couldn’t have been more excited. I’ve never had the pleasure of seeing 3LAU in concert, but there’s been non-stop praise for his festival sets all summer long. It’s crazy to see DJs evolve from when they first start out to now and I’m proud to have been there since the very beginning. What’s even more impressive is that 3LAU is only 21 years [...]

Sultan, Ned Shepard & Sagstad – Somebody To Love (Third Party Remix)

crocc8 — Thu, 13 Sep 2012 18:44:41 +0000

New Progressive House

Its hard to believe Third Party has been at it for such a short period of time. The London based duo is one of a few great up and comers on Steve Angello’s Size Records. The Londoners pride themselves on meticulous studio productions that are melody driven and emotional. Their big break came when Angello discovered their track ‘Release’ and Third Party have taken off since. I quickly lost count of the amount of times I heard their [...]
