“Without music, life would be a mistake…. I would only believe in a God who knew how to dance.”
-Friedrich Nietzsche
The moment I turned twenty I began having a religious midlife crisis. I realized that the only place of worship that I would find suitable at this point in my life would be a dance floor and the only pastors I would listen to would be quality djs that were sending positive vibes to those listening. I did not have the privilege of attending neither Coachella or UMF, however, it seems that to those that went to either event, the memories made and the moments they experienced were almost comparable to that of a religious experience. Yep, I’m jealous. Anyways now on to the music!
Hardwell just released an epic after-movie of his experience at Ultra and it is a goose-bump inducing film. As the winner of 2012′s International Dance Music Awards “Best Breakthrough DJ” he did not fail to deliver an epic performance.
Watch for yourself below:
The songs featured in the Hardwell video go as followed:
1. Kontiki – Hardwell & Dannic
2. Raid – Rene Kuppens & Dyro
“Nobody likes Deep House”
- My younger brother
If you agree with him, then skip the following song suggestion…
Noir & Westboy – She’s Got My Heart (Larse Remix)
This post wouldn’t be complete without a some of my favorite kind of medicine aka deep house. If you’re a sucker for synth lines that speak to the soul and aching vocals earning for understanding then look no further because Larse, Noir, & Westboy will be delivering the goods. The bass line that drops at 3:42 will do you dirty. Be warned.
In my previous post, I mention Sound Pellegrino as label to follow. They have just released their podcast which contains some of their favorite tracks from the label and some of the friends of the labels. Give a listen to Episode 65 of their podcast below:

Here’s a little indie/dance from no other than Hot Chip to balance out the underground house I just threw in your direction. Night And Day is the first single from Hot Chip’s forthcoming album, In Our Heads out June 11/12.
I’ve noticed I have been lacking in Trance songs so here’s one of the newest releases.
Here’s the music video for Dash Berlins’ “Go It Alone” (Yes, I know I’m pointing out the obvious). Like almost every Trance song, I feel like I’m watching a mini-version of The Notebook or any other romance movie featuring Ryan Gosling. It’s cute, it’s inspirational, it’s Trance. In all seriousness though, Armada Music is an awesome label follow it on any of the various social networks that they’re on for some top notch Trance and non-Trance tracks like this one.
This video always makes me want to sell an organ in order to attend Sensation White.
Lastly, I would hate to not include a track from some of the biggest bros in the EDM industry…DADA LIFE! Chuckie’s remix of Rolling Stones T-Shirt is the type of dirty, dutch banger we’ve all come to know and love. Download this remix for free below:
