I’m not going to bore you with the elaborate reasons why there was no post last week. Instead, let’s dive right in to this week’s tracks. Time constraints, bla bla bla, short post.

     New track from Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo, teaming up with vocalist Greta Svabo Bech to give life to some great electro house. Notice how big a contrast the chorus makes with the rest of the song, giving listeners the chance to rest in between fierce head-bobbing and roof-raising arm movements.

Released on Ultra Records on October 22nd
Beatport – iTunes


     Chris Malinchak brings forth a soothing and catchy tune on French Express. Synths are great, vocals are fantastic (love the background work) and the melody is simply blissful, resulting in an track worth the free download.

     Played during TATW 447, then chosen as the web vote winner for 448, Vintage & Morelli’s bootleg of “Ashes” by Above & Beyond’s Oceanlab project is a clear favorite among trance fans. Fitting the original with some extra percussions and a stealthy bassline, he brings an oldie up to 2012 speed.

     Last offering this week comes in the form of a mix from David La Melza, a.k.a. Tropicool. Somewhat similar to the Zimmer Summer Tape from a few weeks ago, Tropicool’s Dopamine Dreams is a chilled out, disco-infused hour of funky beats perfect for an afternoon of hammock lounging. Transitions can sometimes sound weird, but this is still worth a listen.

     Quick events update, legend Danny Tenaglia is at Stereo and Max Vageli & AN21 and Junior Sanchez are at New City Gas on Saturday night. Dennis Ferrer comes to Muzique on Tuesday (pay at the door) while Birdy Nam Nam and Kill the Noise take the Telus Theater on Thursday. Friday the 16th is Cosmic Gate night at Circus and the following evening is Victor Calderone’s at Stereo and Sky Blu and Sidney Samson’s at New CIty Gas.
     Last, but certainly not least, here's a video to get you through that treacherous last weekday and start your weekend off on the right foot. This week, the clever clip from Duck Sauce’s follow-up to Barbara Streisand, “Big Bad Wolf.”


     I can’t even begin to imagine how awkward it must’ve been to film this.

So it seems like I haven’t posted anything in a while. My bad. This is my first post since going legal so I haven’t acquired super embedding skills yet but hopefully they will come. Let us begin with the music.

Been holding onto this song since TATW 350 and it’s just beautiful. Unfortunately, it hasn’t been released yet but patience, the date seems to be set at May 2nd. Hopefully this rip will satisfy you till then.

Superman – Mat Zo

Funny story, playing Xbox a few weeks back when Justin, Wei and I came across a team composed of Matan Zohar, Artem Soloviev and Synapse Dynamics, aka Mat Zo, Arty and some other dude who named himself after a track. There’s no telling if it was really them, the only guy talking was the third guy. We beat them the first time… then they took to kicking the living shit out of us. My piece of advice: Do not fuck with them.

Up next is a brand new track from Axwell who’s back in Montreal on June 3rd. Here’s hoping we get a taste of this live.

Heart is King – Axwell

You probably heard of Above & Beyond’s great single Sun & Moon that was released recently. Well, some geniuses had the awesome idea to make a dubstep remix of it, a badass remix.

Next, here’s something I picked up at Paul van Dyk a few weeks back. He actually mixed the shit out of it but it isn’t an official remix. But still, here’s a pretty decent mix of the track.

Sunday (Seamus Haji Club Mix) – The Hurts

And finally, here’s something absolutely massive that was introduced to us via Gareth Emery’s Podcast and that I’ve had the pleasure of hearing twice live in concert.

So, I usually end my posts with upcoming shows but Justin did a good job of listing them out, so I thought I’d mention Taco Bell is having a free taco week from April 7th to 13. HELLZ YEAH!

A full two weeks without a post makes for sad times but hopefully you all have been having some fun without us. I’m still grieving about how M. Night Shyamalan completely ruined The Last Airbender but at least I’ve been able to rejoice in the new Eminem album which is seriously sick and worth listening too. Also, I’ve been watching a lot of old school Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and I’m just wondering why I ever stopped watching it. So many life lessons to be learned but so many sexual references in each 30 min episode that it makes you wonder why its a show for kids. So to start it off, here’s the most badass theme song of all time, remixed.

Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (Mustard Pimp Remix) – Will Smith

Aight aight but now to the real stuff. I’ve been listening to hours of podcasts recently basically because I’m bored and because they’re full of crazy music. Like the title says its mostly trance or variations mostly because I’ve been listening to Trance Around the World, A State of Trance and Club Life.

To kick it off here’s some tech-trance by Dutch Dj Marcel Woods.

Inside of Me (Dub Trance Version) – Marcel Woods

Now for some of the chillest shit I own. First of all  Avicii’s remix of Bromance (no intro for all you build-up haters) which I’m truly dying for Tiësto to play on Sunday. Secondly, what probably is one of my favourite tunes of the summer so far, a classic remix by Above & Beyond. And finally, Estiva with one of the hottest tracks of the moment and I’m sure you’re gonna love it.

Bromance (Avicii’s Arena Remix) – Tim Berg

Home (Above & Beyond Remix) – Chakra

The Kingdom – Estiva

And finally, directly from Gareth Emery’s Garuda label,  Ben Gold goes crazy with this track, definitely something to dance to.

Sun Stroke – Be:Gold

Aight and before I forget, Above & Beyond is coming out with their new compilation album Anjunabeats 8 on the 17th and its going to be insane, trust me.

Oh and sorry, once again when I try to tag they give me a stupid error message, sorry…
