Cider Sky is an up and coming pop duo that has attracted several DJ’s to remix their music. This remix of “We Are In Love,” is a great one. In my opinion, the original is still better, but much different.

“Radioactive (Synchronice Remix)” by Imagine Dragons

June 15, 2013 by Leave a Comment

When I first heard “Radioactive” by Imagine Dragons, I knew it was going to be a huge hit with electronic and alternative fans alike: the sweeping vocals, subtle guitar, and heavy background bass make for a song that appeals to fans of multiple genres.  Synchronice, a DJ duo known for their melodic dubstep remixes, goes heavy on the synth and bass (reminiscent of a Seven Lions remix) in their take on “Radioactive”.  It’s dubstep with heart, and with some serious melody.  Give their Facebook page a like, grab the download below, and keep an eye out for their new EP Countdown, set to release on iTunes and Beatport.

Review: Skrillex’s BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix

June 15, 2013 by Leave a Comment

Yesterday Sonny Moore, aka Skrillex, had the chance to play his first ever essential mix. Skrillex announced his new super group with Diplo, just another notch under his belt, next to being Skrillex and apart of Dog Blood. With in minutes of starting it, listeners knew that this was going to be something else, something unclassifiable as Dubstep, or Drum and Bass, or Trap, or anything that we knew. This was going to be a mix straight out of Sonny’s vault, songs old and new that most of us had probably never heard of. He opened with a brand new Dog Blood track, right into a Power Glove edit by Adam F. Throughout the mix he premiered countless tracks that had me searching the internet until day break this morning looking for download links and any information I could get on them. Read on for more about the mix, the mix itself, and the tracklist…

“Wake Me Up” by Avicii ft. Aloe Blacc

This post is going to be a little different than usual. This post is not going to analyze the song or the choices that Avicii made, but rather, I’m going to talk about something pertaining to my personal life. Recently, a friend of mine passed away. Tomorrow, I’ll be attending a service to celebrate his life. As the press and blogs are giving their own two cents about this song, I realized that we all just have to slow down and look around. Listen to the music, not for anyone else. But do it for yourself.

Life is precious. You make mistakes, and you learn from them. You achieve your goals, and you become a better person. These are the basics. But, what I came to realize is that people are too caught up in the moment. Sometimes, we just need to slow things down. And, this is definitely a song that does that for me. So, from this point forward, every time I hear this song, it’ll be a friendly reminder to slow things down. Tell your friends and family that you love them and be the best person you can be.

This post is dedicated to my friend Ali. Every time I was able to spend time with him, I always had a smile. People know me as being constantly happy. With Ali, I was happy to the point where it was almost unnatural. Always clowning around, this kid definitely one-upped me in being funny. Even now, I think of all the times we messed around and did “stupid” things. These were good times and are times I’ll always remember.

So, for those who have read this, you were able to peer into a small portion of my life. I wasn’t sure if I really wanted to do this or not, but in the end, I felt that this felt right. Any close friends and family of Ali also knew that he was quite a talented DJ (Ali’s SoundCloud). Give it a listen! I recommend the trap remixes. But, for now, thanks Ali for making those days that we hung out extremely memorable. I’m gonna miss you bud.
