FUEGO FRIDAYS 13
Sorry it’s been so long since you’ve felt my heat but now it’s crush time as the volcano is about to erupt with copious amounts of liquid magma! It’s been a few weeks for releases so that translates into many electro cherry poppin’ eargasms, 15 to be exact.
Swedish House Mafia – Save The World (Zedd Remix) What is it with these ‘Save the World’ remixes? Each release is better than the former. I had the pleasure of seeing Zedd at a show near Detroit where he played with electro powerhouse Porter Robinson and the killer Skrillex. It was an unbelievable show and to be honest, Zedd was my favorite performer. Being the first out of three to perform, he arguably brought just as much energy out of the crowd and came out with the most intensity. The University of Michigan is making big moves in landing the top producers like Avicii, Laidback Luke, and Zedd (click their names for tickets) so you definitely want to get your tickets ASAP. As for the song it’s just an unreal combination — there are elegant and blissful moments followed by his signature gritty electro bite! Get this song on beatport.
Ash – Let Me Show You Love (Ash & Avicii’s Hype Machine Mix) You may recognize this track as “Tom Hangs Feat. Yolanda Selini Don’t Give Up On Us (Avicii Who Is The Swede Mix)” but this is what sources have been going by. If I’m correct, then Ash (Ash Pournouri) is Avicii’s manager from At Night management who has been producing a few tracks and has been chief in Avicii’s success. Avicii has been rocking this track and the next one at top tier festivals such as Tomorrowland in Belgium.
ASH vs Coldplay – Revolver (Original Mix) vs Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall (Avicii Tour Mix) It’s extremely difficult to do justice in describing this track but that’s the beauty of music and of Avicii, you shouldn’t be able to fully describe a song in words. This track is squeaky subtle goodness with fuego sooo hot it will melt your face off.
Goodwill & Hook N Sling – Take You Higher (Club Mix) Building off that momentum gained from their throttling remix to Hard Rock Sofa’s “Blow Up”, Australian front-runners and partners in crime Hook N Sling & Goodwill just dropped this smasher today on beatport. We all know how easily these guys can speed up the tempo with their talented remixing skills, but this track is a beautiful display of their craftsmanship in the production field.

Authentic DUTCH imports from my three favorite Dirty Dutch DJs. It seems like the old style Dutch sound that originally lured us in is coming back — with those low-key clubby progressions that lead to obnoxious and explosive drops of Dutch magma.
Eva – Ashes (Chuckie Remix)
FM Audio – Killer 2K11 (Afrojack Remix)
Sidney Samson – Duplex (Original Mix)
Dirty South & Thomas Gold – Alive feat. Kate Elsworth (Original Mix) Coming off the success of his summer anthem remix to “Coming Home”, Dirty South collaborates with German producer Thomas Gold, who’s also been crushing it this year. This bomb has a similar structure like “Coming Home” with it’s soft and trippy builds but different in its piercing progressive-style drops. Go ahead and call me crazy because Thomas Gold was on my top 5 list for DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs. You can buy this song on beatport here.
Fresh out the oven, though unreleased, is Calvin Harris‘ studio quality third single “Feel So Close” (You can preorder is here). To switch things up and add to the diversity we all seek in life, here’s a killer dubstep remix by Nero.

AxisONE – Waiting For You (Original Mix) I swear EDX’s “Embrace” is living vicariously through Chinese producer axisONE on this spacey and harmonic track. Tilt your head back and catch that lustrous rhythm.
Whiskey Pete & Sporty-O – Heard Of Us (PeaceTreaty Remix) I don’t know how this bomb snuck by me when it was released but thanks to BeatMyDay I was able to check out tracks that were in some sets from Tomorrowland.
Fadi – Ticket To The Sky (Original Mix) Yup, eBUNNY called it on Fadi and came up with our nickname for him, the Hungry Hungarian. Fadi brings you the euphoric elements from feel-good house and electro dance. I’m excited for his emergence and am expecting great things.
I know I’m late on “The World” this but others may be as well. When I’m looking for bursts of energy and intense big room synths I immediately turn to Dutch producer Hardwell, who has had a monster year and deserves a spot in DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJ’s 2011 poll. In addition, the “Louder” remix is Hardwell’s latest installment that brings you more of a bass-heavy (REALLY heavy) electro feel combined with his chaotic Zero 73 synths. Can’t wait to see him at Electric Zoo.
