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.

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

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

With WMC/Ultra approaching there has been a major music drought over the past few weeks.

Luckily for us the popularity of EDM and surge of new producers always leaves us with new and underappreciated artists that have never crossed our sights.

Cramp who hails from Russia was a complete unknown to us until stumbling on his Soundcloud page via Anjunabeats. His productions have been highly acclaimed and have received praise from the likes of Above & Beyond, Tiesto, Paul Van Dyke, Armin Van Buuren and many more.

Among his portfolio of original’s was this bootleg of Super8&Tab’s ‘Empire’ with his own ‘Deadline’. A true progressive trance tune that really sets the mood for a good time.

Check out more on his soundcloud and d/l ‘Dead Empire’ below.

Hazem Beltagui has been on our radar for some time now and after our Rising Star feature a few months back, the Egyptian born DJ has only reaffirmed his status as a producer on the brink.

His two latest originals- ‘And Time Stood Still’ & ‘Sun Goes Down’ embody the progressive touch that he consistently delivers with the trancey breakdowns that we all crave.

Download both of these for FREE and hit Hazem up on Facebook & Soundcloud

Hazem Beltagui – And Time Stood Still (Original Mix)

Tim Mason has been flying under the radar for some time now and with remixes like the one below, that is all going to change in 2012.

His ‘Stars Come Out’ remix is a beautiful proggy house number that accentuates the vocals like no other remix has been able to do. Of all the tracks in the remix pack, this one stands out and is in my professional opinion, better than the original.

You can buy this track as well as the star studded remix pack on Beatport

Zedd- Stars Come Out (Tim Mason Remix)

Following the career of The Dirty Tees has been one of the cooler backseat experiences I’ve had since starting this blog.

The guys have always been super talented and as their releases increased people started to take notice. Originally hailing from Oakville, Ontario the duo produced a remix of Natasha Bedingfield’s ‘Touch’ among other things in their first year. The track led to huge internet buzz and the songstress reached out to the guys. Suddenly they found themselves flying out to LA to work on some tracks with her and pursue a full time career in music. 

Flash forward a year and they are on the verge of taking things to the next level. A win in the Beyoncé remix competition would really help and with your vote we can make this happen.

Listen to their remix below and if you’re feeling it, go Vote and watch as one of Canada’s most exciting acts blows up.

Beyoncé – End Of Time (The Dirty Tees Remix)

Is it just me or has there been a house music drought?

I’ve been waiting patiently for something special to drop and not to my surprise, Tom Fall is the one to end the winter blues.

He teamed up with fellow Fin Heikki L and singer Ben Andreas to create this epic masterpiece. A true progressive house cut with all the fixings and the support from Armada to propel it onto the next level.

You should probably go BUY this and support some of the finest new music on the planet.

Moguai dropped his two year in the making masterpiece on Mau5trap yesterday and it lives up to the expectations.

His first album- We Are Lyve destroyed the charts in 2010 and won over the hearts of EDM aficionado’s with tracks like ‘Blau’ and ‘Oyster’. ‘Blau’ in particular really stood out and was quickly added to my ‘songs that make me feel warm and fuzzy inside’ list.

Mpire is a 14 track EP filled with progressive melodies, bouncy baselines and a feel good vibe. The opening track- ‘Smyle’ makes you wanna do just that and is a testament to the rest of the album.

Do yourself a favour and buy Moguai-Mpire. It’s value and impact are comparable to that of regular sessions with a therapist, minus the cost.
