Ambassador Beats

Ferry Corsten’s WKND brought us the standout track ‘Live Forever’ among a plethora of big room trance/house bangers.

Today the official video was release (watch here) alongside a stellar remix pack featuring Michael Woods & Shogun. The video is your typical dj/crowd footage mixed in with babes and vocalist-Aruna. But the remixes, released on Ultra Records take ‘Live Forever’ on a completely new journey.

Our favourite from Woods amps things up with his signature progressive touch, stabbing synths and dirty drops while keeping the integrity intact and the beautiful vocals enhanced.

Ferry Corsten- Live Forever (feat. Aruna) (Michael Woods Remix)

Hazem Beltagui is quickly becoming notorious for delivering these silky smooth proggy house summer jams.

Today he released ‘Staring At The Sun’ and it really makes me wish it wasn’t 7 degrees outside. Either way throw this on in anticipation for the lovely summer months to come and check out tons more from Hazem on Soundcloud

Two weeks of vacay has passed and here I am, writing a post to make everything alright again.

Consider this one an apology letter filled with driving basslines, proggy buildups, luscious vocals and the most pleasing ear milk to grace the airwaves since mid April.

Flux Pavilion ft. Example- Daydreamer (Danny Byrd Remix)

Collin McLoughlin has done the unthinkable.

Not only did he keep the best parts of Icarus intact but he recreated Madeon’s breakout hit with new vocals and a monstrous buildup.

Check out more from Collin on Soundcloud and get yourself reaquainted with ‘Icarus’.

This feature started as a random post to catch up on missed mashups/bootlegs but it has quickly turned into your average ‘Mashup Monday’.

And how could it not? With guys like Kaskade, 3LAU, Kap Slap & Basic Physics all releasing FREE tunes on the same day… eat your hearts out

‘The Veldt’ has been unleashed tonight airing on Pete Tong’s radio show.

If you’ve been following Deadmau5 on Ustream you’ve seen bits and pieces of it but the final product is stunning. The bassline is magical and the Chris James twitter hook-up was genius. It doesn’t get much more euphoric than this…

Tiesto’s Club Life Vol. 2 is four days away from being released in North America but thanks to our friends over in Sweden/Germany we have an early sneak peak at the star studded album.

The highlight for me is the collaboration of two of Canada’s finest producers with vocalist Quilla to create this beautifully crafted proggy house number.

‘Walls’ is much aligned with Sultan & Ned Shepard’s previous work such as ‘Call My Name’ & ‘In The Air’ and will satisfy both the softer house heads and raging club-goers alike. 

Grab ‘Walls’ below and pre-order your copy of Club Life Vol. 2 Miami HERE

Paul David always has something new up his sleeve.

This time around he gets his filthy little electro house hands on the ‘Toes’ single from Lights. This has the Burner Records certified club banger written all over it.

I don’t know about you but music selection is 100% contextual for me.

It’s sunday night, you’re chilling after a big weekend and the only thing you need is some deep house from Martin Roth.

His new EP dropped on Anjunadeep and it’s phenomenal.

Maison & Dragen have been a tear with their Martin Solveig remix (see below) and things don’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon.

They dropped the Miami Bootleg today on Soundcloud and it’s exactly what you would expect from the duo- bouncy feel-good house music.

The Dirty Tees have unofficially released the FIRST single off their forthcoming EP and in one word… WOW!

They completely blindsided me with the club banger calibre vocals/baseline/drops and midway electro change-up. These guys continue to impress and if this is a sign of things to come, we are all in for a big tasty Canadian made treat.

The Dirty Tees- Maestro (Original Mix)

Every week the Ambassador Beats inbox gets filled up with music submissions and every week there seems to be proportionately more mashups than any other genre.

The appeal has been on a steady incline since pioneers like Girl Talk and The Hood Internet kick started one of electronic music’s greatest sub-genres. Call it art, piracy or a guilty pleasure- either way it’s in our face and i’m not arguing.

When it comes to tech-house D.Ramirez and the Toolroom Records family are untouchable.

Their latest EP ‘Get Down’ features two humongous tracks including the infectious anthem featured below.

‘Won’t Give Up’ has a tribal edge filled with the classic ‘I can’t give in I won’t give up’ sample and some epic buildups.

This has a straight up ‘still raving at 5am let’s kick this party into overdrive’ feel to it so turn it up and don’t give in…

When Morgan Page released ‘The Longest Road’ back in 2008, nobody could have predicted the amount of miles the track would get.

Four years later, it has gone through countless hands including the grammy nominated remix from Deadmau5 and hip hop mogul Birdman.

Thankfully Mobin Master takes it to yet ANOTHER level with Joe Garston’s ‘The Promise’ mashed in with the infectious vocals from Lissie.

I’ve had a close eye on the mashup world since the inception of Ambassador Beats and not many days have gone by without something new to listen to.

Many of them have come and gone but KapSlap, 3LAU and D.Veloped have d.veloped into household names among a sea of competition. Their consistency ranges up there with the likes of GirlTalk and Earworm and the innovation that continues to fuel these guys is damn impressive.

The A + B mashup formula is child’s play when you look at the latest installment of Bangers & Mash (with a side of spicy sauce from Nick Thayer & A.Skillz)

Armin Van Buuren has been destroying club after club with his entourage of A list dj’s to celebrate his 550th episode of ‘A State Of Trance’.

The tour started in London and has since made stops in Moscow and Kiev, Ukraine. Among the artists to perform on the opening night was Ambassador Beats favourite- Tom Fall. With a recent assault of new originals and remixes, Mr. Fall had a full arsenal of big stuff to play out.

One of tracks that stood out the most from his set was this melodic but yet aggressive mashup from Myon & Shane 54 which combines his remix of Blake Jarrell- ‘Dubai’ with Jessie J’s- ‘Domino’. The soothing vocals from Jessie J alongside Blake Jarrell’s tantalizing buildup are followed by a barrage of King Kong sized slaps to the face courtesy of Tom Fall. 

Warning: This track may cause uncontrollable fits of rage and temporary brain damage
