[Future/House] Zeds Dead & Oliver Heldens – You Know

Posted by TMN Staff - January 29, 2015

Zeds Dead & Oliver Heldens
You Know (Original Mix)

At its base, future house evolved as a genre when it drew from the elements of established genres like funk, deep house, tech-house, disco, and many more. Oliver Heldens saw the lack of groove in big room music when developing his trademark style and saw a possibility for it to be combined with house to be suitable for the main stage. Zeds Dead, on the other hand, have played a monumental role in the development of harder dance music styles and have released tracks of too many genres to count. When we heard they collaborated on a track, we immediately speculated as to what it could sound like.

The musical baby of Zeds Dead and Oliver Heldens, “You Know,” rides the coat tails of the future house movement but exudes a special charm. The Dutch young gun and Canadian producers keep listeners on the their toes as they guide a future funky house train that contains various components of drum n bass, cheery synth dabbles, and scraping bass snarls. Overall, “You Know” presents a combination of the best of both artists and sets both Oliver Heldens and Zeds Dead for massive 2015.

[Electro House] Borgeous & Tony Junior – Break The House (Original Mix)

Break The House (Original Mix)

Buy

LA-based DJ/producer Borgeous has always been a crowd pleaser when it comes to his hardstyle music. This time he teamed up with Dutch producer Tony Junior and released this rave banger called “Break The House”, and the track is everything the title suggests and more. The hardhitting bass combined with the catchy synth melody throughout the whole track provide us with a neverending eargasm. The drop gives you an adrenaline rush that makes you want to just get up and dance your pants off, start a shuffling pit, or fistpump your arm off, what have you. It almost reminds us of the Showtek banger “Bad”; it is just that memorable.

Borgeous continues to reassure his status as an electro powerhouse with this new release. We are excited to see what else he got in store for us.

[House] Mike Mago ft. Dragonette – Outlines [TMN Premiere]

Outlines [Available August 15]

Fresh off of a debut with dance giant Spinnin’ Records’ newest sub-label, Spinnin’ Deep; Mike Mago returns to TMN to premiere what will perhaps be the biggest record yet from the Amsterdam based house producer: “Outlines”. If you’re familiar with his late 2013 single “The Show”, then hopefully the weight of those words resonates a bit, because we aren’t blowing smoke in any way shape or form here. “Outlines”, which features an utterly shiny and stirring vocal contribution from Dragonette’s lead singer Martina Sorbara, plays more like the “pop/club-house” anthems which have gained such a strong footing in the U.K. behind acts like Disclosure and Hot Natured amongst many others- as opposed to the more classically house-tinged deeper soundscape which shot Mago into the limelight. No standardized four-four kick drum on this one (save for a club edit which will undoubtedly be released as well), just a lovely pad fill leading into Sorbara’s inimitable croon, segueing gracefully into the tune’s heart; which comes in the form of a hypnotically addictive lead synth line. By the end of Mike Mago’s three minute jam, we wanted nothing more than for there to be another verse. But that’s the beauty of “Outlines”; it’s replay value seems infinite and is a more than worthy addition to an already stellar catalog. We’ve obviously got a serious musical crush on the new sounds the Dutchman has been tinkering with, as it’s always refreshing to see highly skilled artists not pigeonholing themselves in one style or genre. Mike Mago’s signature quote comes into play symbiotically in regard to “Outlines”: “it’s not about the genre, it’s about the taste!”.
Well said sir.
