Exams have been here so I thought I would compile all of my favourite songs I've dug up over the past week and deliver them to you in one super sized post to save everyone time.
First, Michael Woods and Chris Lake's 'Dominos'. This is one of those songs you can just get lost in and by the time the hook comes you've started pumping your fist and moving your body to the beat. Very progressive, very 'Woodsy' (a good thing), dark with it's simple drum beat and deep bassline, and overall a large sound that will swallow you up.
Next, Laidback Luke has remixed Moby's new tune 'Wait for Me'. You've probably heard about this song already, as it has been circulating the blogosphere like a rampant swine flu (about half a year late for that reference to be funny). I am and have always been a sucker for a great piano roll (c. Axwell), and Laidback Luke has certainly refined his art. Although I find the second hook to be a little anti-climactic, because of a pseudo-hook a few seconds before, the song is still a gem. That's just my opinion, I've always been a little timid of songs that are more minimal/progressive. Even so, this song deserves a listen no matter what genre you find yourself drawn to. Well done Luke.
Michael Woods makes another appearance with his latest single 'Dropzone 2010'. Once again progressive with a big room feel that Woods seems to be able to capture on all his songs and remixes. Subtle but huge seems to be the theme of the day, so I figured 'why not another?'
Now to destroy any pattern I had going before this last song jumps to the other end of the spectrum directly into a house/dub step genre. Rusko's 'Woo Boost' is certainly the dub step song of the year with its HUGE wobbly/synth bass, but Subskrpt has given it a more club friendly, house approved feel. He has added a nice drum beat along with a quicker tempo and his own take on the song. Although it remains evident the song's roots lay in dub step, the tempo tells another story and will fit nicely into a set without having to change pace too much.
Hope you enjoy these tunes, I know they are at the top of my study playlist.
