Posted by: Pete Kistler on: December 30, 2009

So, you a want a dancefloor-friendly electro house track that’s funky enough to shake booties, and gritty enough to make your subwoofers scramble brains? Enter Felguk’s “Do You Like Bass 2009,” six minutes of electroyumyum.

Play it, spin it, pass it on.

I first heard this Myon & Shane 54 mashup On A Metropolis Day (OceanLab vs Gareth Emery) listening to Above & Beyond’s A State of Trance podcast on the treadmill. Wait for the breakdown at 3:11… and let it take you away.

Meet Me In Montauk

Posted by: Pete Kistler on: July 14, 2009

Check out Meet Me In Montauk by Signalrunners. Earlier this year at club Pacha in NYC, Above & Beyond played this and launched a burst of white mist onto the dancefloor right as the crescendo came to a climax around the 4:20 mark.

Recoil (Mat Zo Remix)

I have a confession to make: I love Mat Zo. His mixes never cease to amaze… “Silver Lining (Tell Me) (Myon at Albion Vocal Mix),”  “Moonset,” and “Rush” are just a few examples of his other killer tracks. But his remix of Signalrunners‘ Recoil is currently at the top of my list. (And Signalrunners alone are probably within my top 10 trance artists).

Genre

Trance

Listen To It

Or check it out on DJDownload (be sure to preview [Matzo Remix]).

Track Info

Name: Recoil (Matzo Remix)

Original Artist: Signalrunners

DJ Info

Length: 7:30

BPM: ~132 beats per minute

Suggested Use:

Since this track has no lyrics, make sure the dance floor is already balls deep and in the zone before laying it down. Then watch the mayhem ensue.

Halfway Love (Original Mix) by Cedric Gervais & Second Sun is a trance track highlighted by a deep and driving beat, mixed-era synths and male vocals that carry you from on measure to the next.

Dive into the track at the 1:00 mark.

Deep and vocal trance

Listen on iMeem

Listen on YouTube

Track Info

Name: Halfway Love (Original Mix)

Artist: Cedric Gervais & Second Sun

DJ Info

BPM: ~128 beats per minute

Length: 8:08

Suggested Use:

This deep trance track shouldn’t be played too early in the set – make sure people are already moving, then queue up Halfway Love (Original Mix). Although it’s not particularly upbeat or a sing-along song, don’t be surprised if strangers start dancing to its driving beat. As always, read the mood of the dancefloor, and make sure to transition out before any signs of energy drain sets in from repetition.

These Shoulders (Club Mix)

Posted by: Pete Kistler on: November 28, 2008

These Shoulders (Club Mix) by Signalrunners feat. Julie Thompson is a deep trance track and excellent addition to any rave. Signalrunners lays down melodious synths and piano, which Julie Thompson accentuates with melodic, syrupy vocals. Tune in at the beginning to start moving or at 1:30 to begin where the climax starts building.

Deep and vocal trance

Depending on your friends, a sober crowd might find These Shoulders (Club Mix) too cerebral to dance. Queue this track up when your dancefloor has been going for at least an hour and a half.
