Lancelot – We Can Dance EP

Aussie newcomer Lancelot is making a hell of a splash with his first release, his We Can Dance EP released on Beatport Monday (2/20), which boasts a killer remix package with familiar indie-dance names Goldroom, Fabian and Moonchild, and another aussie newbie Frames. Lancelot’s sound fits perfectly with the slow-house, disco and tropical house currently gaining momentum with those of us who still like our beats electronic but are in need of some that soothe rather than hype. His original Spoken Word was even featured in The Magician‘s latest Magic Tape (#20) Of the 3 originals, we’d recommend Spoken Word and Daphnis The Nymph to fill you up with that daytime sound. Don’t sleep on the Goldroom remix either – one of the top remixes we’ve heard all year! He’s absolutely killing it of late.

Laidback Luke returns with his long awaited new single “Speak Up” featuring Wynter Gordon. Destined to be one of the most talked about tracks of Miami Music Week and the entire spring, “Speak Up!” is Luke at his finest – massive energy and stomping builds are matched with gentle melodies and a flawless vocal from Wynter Gordon. The perfect recipe for a chart crossover club anthem! “Speak Up” is released March 12th on Beatport and March 27th at all other digital partners.

To celebrate the release of “Speak Up!,” Laidback Luke is set to embark on his biggest adventure yet – a bus tour across the North America. Commencing March 9 in Las Vegas, Nevada and ending April 22 in Bloomington, Indiana this seven-week tour brings Laidback Luke and his Mixmash cohorts GTA and Oliver Twizt to cities of all sizes; many of which Luke’s never visited before. “I’m so about my Speak Up! Bus Tour. It’s a first for me and so I am looking forward to a completely new experience, performing at places I’ve never been to before now. It’s set to be a big adventure and hope to see you all on board soon!,” Luke says.

Already well known for a multitude of collaborations with various big names including David Guetta, Diplo and A-Trak, Laidback Luke more recently hooked up with Sander van Doorn on the stellar track “Who’s Wearing The Cap”, a mash up of trance, progressive and electro. Luke’s latest collaboration with Arno Cost and Norman Doray “Trilogy” went successful on charts in no time. 2011 also saw Luke enjoying chart success on UK Top 40 hit, Natural Disaster with Example, as well as his work with Steve Aoki and the master of crunk Lil’ Jon on Turbulence that took over Radio 1 airwaves.

In addition to working with fellow stalwarts of the electronic music industry, Luke has also remixed stellar pop acts from Black Eyed Peas, David Guetta, Calvin Harris, Tiësto, MSTRKRFT ft. John Legend, Dizzee Rascal, Avicii, Moby, and most recently, Pitbull Ft. Marc Anthony “Rain Over Me” and Madonna “Give Me All Your Love.” It’s not just producing music that has keeps Luke busy. With his very own Super You&Me tent at Creamfields and a residency at Cream Ibiza last summer where he hosted the Mixmag Terrace on six dates, we can only wonder when he ever has any time to be “Laidback”..!

The Original Mix of “Speak Up!” is out exclusively on Beatport from March 12. In April, be on the lookout for the “Speak Up!” remixes package featuring new interpretations of the track from Chris Lake, Mark Knight, Oliver Twizt, Moska and Das Kapital.

Nero Remix For EA Games ‘Syndicate’ | FREE MP3 Download

In the final installment of their remix series celebrating Starbreeze’s re-envisioning of the classic video game ‘Syndicate’ this February 21st, EA Games is releasing an exclusive remix by the UK’s premiere dubstep duo Nero on the Syndicate Facebook Page.

Now one of the biggest names in both dubstep and drum & bass, Nero are gearing up for a triumphant return to the U.S. in March for their headlining “Second Reality” live tour with their singer Alana Watson, as well as eagerly awaited appearances at the Coachella Music & Arts Festival in April 2012.

Coyote Kisses – Acid Wolfpack

Coyote Kisses has conjured up their unique sound in a relatively small amount of time, coming with hard originals and remixes. Childhood friends, Bryce Bresnan and Joseph Sussingham, formed Coyote Kisses in 2008 but had to put the project on hiatus in order to pursue formal education. Now that those days are well behind them, the duo has come back with a vengeance. Their Acid Wolfpack EP was released today (via Beatport) and has surpassed all expectations. They also included a special “treat” with the EP and that is their remix of Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used To Know”. We’ve got the EP to stream below along with some great songs that they’ve released for free in the recent past.
