Pitbull adds new flavor to Deorro and merengue star Elvis Crespo’s “Bailar”

Mr. Worldwide himself, Pitbull, brings new flavor in the form of his signature flow to Deorro and Grammy/Latin Grammy Award-winning Merengue singer Elvis Crespo’s summer collaboration “Bailar.”

“Bailar” has already taken the world by storm, landing at #1 on iTunes in 4 countries and Top 5 in 8 countries, #1 on the Shazam overall in 3 countries, as well as peaking at #2 on the iTunes US Latin Chart, impacting the Spotify Global 100 and hitting #1 on Beatport’s Electro-House Chart and #4 on Beatport’s Overall Chart. The track’s official music video boasts more than 16 million streams to date.

The newest iteration of “Bailar” is anchored by Pitbull’s unmistakable fiery vocals, paired with Crespo’s chorus croons to make for a bilingual dance-floor igniter that leaves listeners wanting to “bailar” all night long. No stranger to stepping outside the traditional electronic sphere, Deorro’s production of “Bailar” bolsters his already diverse musical catalogue, blending his signature electronic music style with uptempo 3-step Merengue beats and lively horn riffs.

Since bursting into the limelight in 2014 as the highest new entry spot on DJ Mag’s top 100 list, Deorro has rapidly gained attention worldwide as one of the most sought-after producer/DJs in the business. Currently one of Spotify’s top 95 most streamed artists in the world, the Los Angeles native has compiled a genre-bending discography including numerous originals as well as collaborations and remixes with heavy-weights such as Diplo, Steve Aoki and Axwell. In addition to producing his own music, Deorro devotes his time to his PandaFunk label where he’s signed some of the newest upcoming acts in the industry.

CONTEST: Paul van Dyk & Alex M.O.R.P.H. "We Are" - VANDIT

We are not lost. We are not afraid. We are not filled with hate. We are the most technologically advanced civilization in human history and we will not be cowed by ignorance nor fear-mongering. We are loving. We are strong. We are one.

The time is right to join together in peace and humanity. “We Are” (VANDIT) is the new collaboration from trance kingpins, Alex M.O.R.P.H. & Paul van Dyk. “We Are” is out now.

The Original Mix of “We Are” kicks-off with a hard-hitting 4/4 beat and booming, low-end bass that makes bodies move. The energy and excitement of the track gradually build in layers as synthesizers stealthily enter with their minor-chord commotion until....bang! Melodic progressions of sunshine-filled synths arrive while distorted stabs add accent and the energy builds. By the time the bassline fully appears, listeners know they’re in for something exceptional. It’s a testament to Alex M.O.R.P.H. and Paul van Dyk and their innate skill at reading a crowd that the first big chord change utterly grabs one’s attention. Here is a track to remind today’s EDM-saddled youth what quality electronic dance music really is and why so many people fell in love with this sound in the first place. “We Are” is electronic dance music as it should be, at its purest and best. “We Are” unlocks something within the listener’s brain and commands the body to react in a reliably ecstatic way. The Radio Edit of “We Are” takes the essential elements of the original and boils them down into a tight package suited for radio.

The time is right to join together in peace and humanity. Trance titans Alex M.O.R.P.H. & Paul van Dyk want to see who you are! 

IT'S EASY:

1) Take a pic or 6-second (max) video clip (sans audio)

 Hurry! Contest ends at 11:59pm EDT September 12th, 2016.

Gudrun Von Laxenburg’s ‘Revolution’

The people’s courage has been ignited. Ignited to revolt against the system built on oppression and police violence. The result of love in a dystopic future. Revolution. - GVL

Austrian electronic band Gudrun Von Laxenburg step into unexplored territory with their audio and visual project, “Revolution.”

The trio bring heavy instrumentation to their musical offerings, backed by a sensory live performance. Nailing down visual representation, “Revolution” plays out more like a Hollywood blockbuster action film than the standard music video.

Directed by Sebastian Mayr, “Revolution” illustrates an uprising ignited by love in a dystopian future, where military personnel and civilians clash to capture the aesthetic set by Gudrun Von Laxenburg.

RUDIMENTAL REVEALED AS THE CREATIVE FORCE BEHIND UNDERGROUND IBIZA CLUB HIT ‘HEALING’

BRIT Award-winning collective Rudimental have been revealed as the creative force behind the huge underground club hit ‘Healing’ (https://BigBeat.lnk.to/Healing). Originally white labelled, then listed as fictional artist Major Tom, (after the band’s Hackney studio and new record label), Annie Mac revealed the true origins of the track on her Radio 1 show, commenting “this is so perfect for Café Mambo at sunset; it couldn’t be more perfect”.

The house-infused track is layered with Rudimental’s signature horns and an addictive baseline, reminiscent of their previous releases, “Baby” ft. MNEK & Sinead Hartnett and “Rumour Mill” ft. Annie-Marie & Will Heard With vocals from Roc Nation’s rising star, J Angel, ‘Healing’ has fast become the soundtrack to clubs around the world this summer, particularly the home of dance music, Ibiza, with DJs including Calvin Harris, Groove Armada, Roger Sanchez, Crookers, Oliver Heldens, Todd Terry all dropping the track in their sets.

Rudimental embarked on their first ever headline world tour earlier this year, which saw them play live to as many as 80,000 people a night across Australia, America and Europe, including a sold out show at London’s O2 Arena. They have since spent the summer working on new material and taking the Rudimental party global, DJing and performing live in clubs and festivals around the world.

Rudimental’s second UK #1 studio album, “WE THE GENERATION,” which featured their single “Lay It All On Me” ft. Ed Sheeran (along with a VIP Mix edit that included Vic Mensa & Big Sean), was released last year to rave reviews and poignantly included the very last vocal recordings from the late, great Bobby Womack. It followed the band’s debut album “Home,” also released to critical acclaim back in 2013, earning them a Mercury Prize nomination and a BRIT Award.

Autoerotique Drops "Kids Don’t Care" Remix Package

 Autoerotique’s wubby Kids Don't Care EP gets a facelift (or bass-lift, if you will) in the form of four insane remixes. Autoerotique kicks off the package by flipping "Ratchet" on its head with a nasty trap VIP edit beforeEXSSV delivers a dubstep-influenced monster. Salt Lake City’s own Heartsprovides a thumping bass-house rework while TheElement goes a similar route, closing out the package with a rhythmic low-end banger.
 
Since Autoerotique’s original Kids Don’t Care EP reached #1 in Beatport’s Top 100 Electro House releases, the Toronto-born bass producer hasn’t missed a beat this year. After kicking off 2016 with a Juno nomination for “Dance Recording of the Year for “Badman (Torro Torro Remix)” with fellow Dim Mak slugger Max Styler, he dropped “The Sound” with dancehall barons Major Lazer. He followed with the bass house heater “OTF” on Fly Eye with fellow Toronto native Hunter Siegel, rapidly gaining support from Calvin Harris,Skrillex, Martin Garrix, Hardwell, Oliver Heldens, Kaskade, Afrojack, andThe Chainsmokers, who dropped it live at Electric Daisy Carnival Las Vegas. Keeping the momentum alive, he then unleashed his massive Steve Aokicollaboration “ILYSM,” which appeared on the Dim Mak label head’s 4OKI EP and has been streamed nearly 4.5M times on Spotify.
 
While the above-mentioned tracks are appearing frequently at big shows nationwide, so is the man behind them. Just this year, Autoerotique has thrown down at Mad Decent Party in Fort Lauderdale, HARD Summer in Los Angeles, and the world-renowned Red Rocks Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado. He is also set to make an appearance at The Talking Stick Resort for Dim Mak’s official 20th Anniversary show in Scottsdale after dropping a killer set at the tour’s Miami stop.

Flosstradamus releases “Came Up” featuring Post Malone & Key

Blazing hot trap duo Flosstradamus releases “Came Up” -- a shock-value collaboration with FKi 1st and Graves that features Post Malone and Key!. The project is a step forward as the duo cross their trademark bass with vocals from one of hip-hop’s hottest acts.

Flosstradamus performed “Came Up” at Lollapalooza with Post Malone, Graves and the track’s collaborators, and closed out night one of the festival with the Bud Light Moment that included Chicago-bred special guests Dwyane Wade, Chance The Rapper and Michelle Williams. The duo will headline HARD Summer this weekend, expected to deliver on another shock-value festival appearance.

The track’s production is delivered in tandem with Hawaiian producer Graves and FKi1st, member of the production two-some FKi who’s worked on records for the likes of 2 Chainz, Young Thug, Lil’ Yachty, and Post Malone, including the chart-topping “White Iverson.”

Post Malone brings his in-demand rhymes to play with a hook that pairs carefully with the heavy-hitting composition, as well as splitting duties on verses; Malone flows through the first and passes the baton to upcoming rapper Key! for the second.

"I'm just happy to have been a part of this record. Key! has been my guy from day 1 and with Flosstradamus it's just a perfect fit" - Post Malone
