Jul 18 2011 update. I’m so busy lately i haven’t been posting because it’s just too time consuming. I will be back eventually but for now follow me on twitter its much more convenient and i still post tracks. =)
Josh Gabriel from Gabriel & Dresden, Andain, and Motorcycle is busy at work on his own label “Different Pieces”! His latest work consists of his collaboration with vocalist Meredith Call on an artist album after the success of 2009 single “Deep Down” and this years “Hot as Hades”. Winter Kills was also featured on Armin’s album for “Take A Moment” and was probably one of the best singles on the album in my opinion. Today I’m taking the time to listen to the whole album and give some thoughts. These are my opinions though, and I don’t think that’s all that matters. I sort of don’t like doing album reviews because they are just one persons opinion and people are different! but what the hell listen to what I have to say and listen to it for yourself if you’re interested. If not there’s something on this blog for everybody and we try hard to do so, so keep scrolling or read more. Also, I decided that I’m not going to post download links any more for songs unless they are bootleg, rips, or free tracks, or samples. Sorry these people work hard and they kept asking us to remove stuff and….well respect & what kind of fan would that make me?
I’m obsessed with Andain. =). Awaiting this June release anxiously!! there are so many remixes for this track! Marco V, Nitrous Oxide, Maor Levi, David Call, Kris O’Neil!! oh my! Keep em’ coming!!!!

My trance prayers have been answered and there are new Above & Beyond tracks featuring the amazing Zoe Johnston. Zoe has worked with artists like Faithless and Delirium and always provides the most beautiful angelic vocals. She’s most memorable from the Above & Beyond tracks like “No One On Earth” (Which is a masterpiece to me) and “Good For Me”. I cannot wait for this release.
You’ll remember Iio from the oldie “Rapture” which was released ten years ago! (Also in honor of today ((Judgement Day)) I figured this post would be appropriate). Anyway, I was always a huge fan of Iio and loved pretty much every release. Iio is Markus Moser and Nadia Ali and was a NYC based house music group responsible for many house and trance oldies and bombs! Again this is another collaboration that I grew up on and IS without a doubt responsible for Nadia Ali’s huge success in the EDM world. After releasing a few singles and waiting out a couple delays, Markus and Nadia released their debut album “Poetica” in 2005. “Poetica” featured their huge hits like “Rapture”, “Smooth”, and my favorite “At The End”. Nadia Ali went off to pursue her solo career and the group eventually faded away, besides the remix album released in 2007.
Now Markus Moser and Nadia Ali have teamed up again to bring another whole new album called “Exit 110”, but after listening to it I have to say I am a little disappointed. There are some tracks that are good and many with the potential to be good if it gets remix treatment. Some of the tracks though completely fell short. I honestly think this album will be so much better if it gets a remix album, or at least some remixed singles. One track that really stands out from the rest and is the first single from the album is “It’ll Be Like” which definitely has that old school NYC Iio sound. Check it out.
Hope it gets some remixes, though this is pretty nice. Sarah Howells still is one of my favorite vocalist for EDM, especially when she collabs with First State or Lange. “Brave” was an absolute stormer and I don’t think Sarah Howells and First State will ever top that again for me. Though, this is still very enjoyable. Also I think “Skies On Fire” is house music friendly, it seems like First State is kinda heading in that direction.

This has so many old school vibes in it it’s crazy!!! Heard this a while back on ASOT and couldn’t wait for its release to share it with everyone. It just sounds like something from the late 90’s with it’s “Voodoo & Serano – Blood Is Pumpin'” (the Blade song) sounds and old school hard-trance bass.
I’m totally feeling this dancefloor stomper by Armin…that’s all it is isn’t it? this is supposed to make you dance. Enjoy this bangin remix of Irish superstar beauty Nadine Coyle.
In early 2000, legendary producers and San Francisco duo Gabriel & Dresden joined forces with vocalist Mavie Marcos and David Penner (Guitarist) to create Andain. Releasing “Summer Calling” and the amazing classic “Beautiful Things” they quickly made this collaboration memorable in the trance scene forever. Read the rest for more info and Tracks.
I mentioned this last night, but I figured this deserved its own post. EZ is three days this year and Identity is a new nationwide electronic tour with a lineup that’s an awesome complement to EZ’s lineup without much overlap. Absolutely planning on going to both. Dates and the preliminary lineup for Identity as well as ticket prices for EZ after the jump.
oh dear sorry everyone for not doing a post in a while, had computer business to take care of and then shit hit the fan. Also I have to get used to these new way of posting things so we don’t get in trouble! Anyway I’m a little behind on the music updates myself but I plan on doing some major catching up and some major posts in the next week. One of my favorite vocal tunes in the past few weeks is this new one by John O’Callaghan which is his third single taken from his album “Unfold”. Betsie on the vocals again which is fine by me. Absolutely hooked on the Gareth Emery remix. Check it out, buy the EP, buy the album. it’s a pretty good one!
