[House] Chris Lake & Chris Lorenzo – Nothing Better

Insomniac Records just may have dropped the hottest track on their catalog so far. Aptly named “Nothing Better” by Chris Lake and Chris Lorenzo, is a historic house record. They nailed everything you look for in an extraordinary song.

“Nothing Better” is no doubt a timeless record despite just dropping today. No matter the release date, it would succeed as a monumental piece of musical art. It’s got some classic undertones that will grab the attention of veteran dance music fans, while bringing in some new flavors for the recently initiated. Catchy and energetic, “Nothing Better” makes a statement with its name and quality. Get your copy of the single from digital stores today.

[House] Sinden & Hotfire – Twiddle

Sinden & Hotfire
"Twiddle"

Insomniac Records recently dropped a completely free compilation centered around Sinden. Not only did Sinden curate the compilation, adding friends including R3LL and LO’99, but he had several collaborations on the project. One of those collaborations was on “Twiddle” with the San Diego duo Hotfire.

“Twiddle” is a techy, old-school driven funk machine. The bouncy basslines have groove written all over them. Underground house-heads will hold this dear like the treasure it is, while anybody who jives with some bass and a four-to-the-floor kick pattern will surely be dancing away to this sweet collaboration. We wanted to highlight this single, because it was one of our favorites off the entire compilation, but don’t let that stop you from checking out the whole thing. Like we said before, the entire compilation is released for free, so you can get this and plenty of others goodies for you digital library.

Gladiator – Bonk ft. Metric Man [TMN Premiere]

Insomniac Records continues to build it’s impressive catalog by adding a project with the duo Gladiator. Their EP is due out on Friday, but we like to give you sneak previews in the dojo when we can. This is why today you are getting a first listen to the single “Bonk” featuring Metric Man.

Get ready for something a bit different with “Bonk.” It’s OG feel, twisted together with subtle nuances taken from jungle, this single has a lot going on. It’s a medley of several sounds that have influenced the duo, brought together with their own signature flair. They’re aiming to bring this one to pop off at festivals, which is a goal we believe they are going to reach quite easily. “Bonk” will be available this Friday alongside another single, both of which will be purchasable at that time. Check out the single below as well as what Gladiator had to say about the tune.

Bonk was a dark, after hours type of record inspired by our love of classic house tunes. Once Metric came on board with his large, booming voice and call to the dance floor, it gave the tune a truly massive feel that made it perfect for the festival stage.

El Dusty – TLC feat. DJ Blass [TMN Premiere]

EDC Mexico is having more than just the festival. As a part of the experience, the people over at Insomniac have put together the festival compilation, featuring a multitude of talented artists from the lineup. One of the songs on the project, “TLC,” is by El Dusty and DJ Blass. Instead of waiting for the full compilation to be out, we partnered up with them on giving you a first listen through this premiere.

“TLC” is a Latin flavored house record that is sure to go off well with the massive crowds down in Mexico. The deep, groovy style makes this one perfect for clubs, but it’s got enough energy and power to satisfy all the ravers in the festival atmosphere. It’s nice to hear something a bit different, but given the festival we’re focusing on, it’s a perfect match. The full EDC Mexico compilation will be out on February 17th, with works from the likes of Kayzo, UNIIQU3, G-Buck, Happy Colors and more.

Worthy – Pull It [TMN Premiere]

ADE is just around the corner. To honor this special week in dance music, Insomniac Records has put together their ADE Compilation that will be released tomorrow, on October 14th. Today, we give you a first listen to one of the singles off the project from Dirtybird’s own Worthy.

It’s not hard at all to imagine “Pull It” being played aloud through a Dirtybird Campout. It’s chill, yet groovy mood is perfect for the atmosphere. Worthy put together an original that is both wacky and straightforward. Not sure if it’s the San Francisco in Worthy our what, but the dichotomy of those two things in this track is positively uncanny. On a compilation with tremendous talent, Worthy stands out with “Pull It” in a big way. Stream it exclusively through this premiere, and ready yourself for the full LP tomorrow!

[House] Go Freek – Call Out

Go Freek
Call Out

Go Freek isn’t fond of the generic. On their Soundcloud they state they are “About as fond of generic club music as they are correct spelling.” We can agree with the first half of that, but spelling is important to us as journalist, but we appreciate their identity. We also appreciate their latest release, “Call Out” that was released through Insomniac Records.

“Call Out” is a quintessential electro hit that was designed for clubs. Most of the time, electro is aimed more at the festival audience, but here Go Freek pays attention to the nuances that makes an exceptional club record. There’s no shortage of groove in this single, and the vocal is just what the track needed to be taken to the next level of awesome. Go Freek themselves didn’t need the vocal to make the track, instead what they created around the vocal is a masterpiece in and of itself. They just wanted to add the tasteful cherry on top. “Call Out” is a necessity in your digital library, so head over to iTunes to add it to your collection.
