PROMISE LAND RELEASES HIGHLY ANTICIPATED 'X-PRESS'

More than a week ago the artist behind the monstrous upcoming single, 'X-Press' was revealed, Italian duo Promise Land. 'X-Press' has groove written all over it. Though difficult to define under one genre, it combines progressive chords and synths with driving deep kicks, almost reminiscent of the Swedish House Mafia sound. The buildups create a lot of energy and then drop into a groovy house tune. The production highlights the subtle but hypnotic topline turning 'X-Press' into a dancefloor favorite. This original has surfaced for months now as an ID and has created a lot of attention so now that it’s being released, we urge you to go purchase your copy and rock out to the tune in it’s entirety!

Nazario Pelusi and Fabio Ranucci, aka Promise Land, have been absolutely crushing the dance music scene the last several years. They first gained notoriety in 2010 and 2011 from their official remixes of Flo Rida, Akon, Fedde Le Grand, Hardwell, and Chuckie. Since these remixes they’ve collaborated with Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Gregori Klosman, and Yves V and released their originals on Size Records, Mixmash, Flamingo, Smash The House, and in August 2013 made their debut on Spinnin’ Records with 'Rulez'. Even though they didn’t release much music in 2015, their latest single, 'Let The Groove' on Kryder’s Sosumi Records gained a lot of attention. They’ve performed at some of the world’s most prestigious dance music venues and festivals including Webster Hall, Zouk, CUBIC, Tomorrowland, and Creamfields. Keep your eye on them in 2016! 

'X-Press' is available today via DOORN Records. https://pro.beatport.com/release/x-press/1697966

DIM MAK's Free Music Imprint New Noise Releases Senor Roar "Flash Bang"

Rising Aussie duo Senor Roar make their mark on the red-hot jungle terror scene with the mammoth club tune “Flash Bang”. For their New Noise debut, the Brisbane producers feature a dichotomy of sliced vocals and bouncy drum work before surging into a drop of buzzes and blares.
 
Slave to no BPM, Senor Roar draw inspiration from a variety of musical influences, which is clearly identifiable in their remixes for the likes of Major Lazer, Tiga & Boys Noize, Blonde, Grmm, and the nine week #1 Beatport charting “Hey Ho” remix for hometown homies Kronic & Krunk. The Senor Roar originals résumé is similarly impressive; their mammoth tune “Beast” alongside Lil Jon & Kronic did wall to wall damage in both the club and the Electro House chart, whilst the earth shattering “Jenga” was released via renowned tastemaker imprint Main Course. In a short time, their experimental approach to club music has already resonated with industry heavy hitters like Dillon Francis, DJ Snake, Diplo, Wiwek, Botnek, Felix Cartal, The Aston Shuffle, TJR, Tommy Trash, Torro Torro, Mightyfools, Astronomar and more.

Josh Wink "Full Late Night" - free download

If sweaty 3 a.m. dance floors are the cornerstone of electronic music, then Josh Wink is its legendary architect. 

The iconic producer will once again soundtrack warehouse romps with his newest record “Full Late Night.”

The pulsating, monochrome groove is teeming with spacey synths and arpeggiated, minimalistic beats, and available now as a free download via Ovum Recordings.

“Full Late Night” was originally recorded in 2003 for Wink’s “20 to 20” album sessions, but the beatmaker ultimately decided it didn’t fit the sound of that release so he’s kept the tune locked away in his vault until now.

Last summer Wink passed shared the track with some DJ friends, including Ben Klock who loved it and featured it in his Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1 which happened to win Essential Mix of the Year in 2015.

Showcasing the sounds that have come to define his iconic, 25 year career, Wink unveils “Full Late Night” as a surefire staple in sunrise sets for years to come.
