Legendary DJ/Producer Tiësto has unveiled his brand new edit of ‘BOOM’, teaming up with rap superstar Gucci Mane to form a potent floor-filling mix of his 2017 track of the same name. Out now on Musical Freedom/PM:AM Recordings listen to “BOOM” here.

Long admired as the man at the forefront of electronic dance music’s rise in popularity, the Musical Freedom label owner brings a heavy bass feel to the production, teaming up with Sevenn, as Gucci - a headliner at 2017’s Coachella Festival - laces the release with his fast-bars, and wittily lyricised flow.
“My track “BOOM” is already a massive club hit, and I figured that it still had some room to grow with the right feature. I’ve always liked Gucci’s flow and music, so I approached him and he was down! This particular collaboration came together organically” says Tiësto. “What I’ve learned about teaming up with other artists is that everyone’s ear is different and everyone has their unique approach to working with a track. I know my sound very well, which can make collaborations difficult because I’m not willing to compromise my style. But, when my collaborations work, they really work. This track is an example of that.”
This cross-genre collaboration comes after the original track’s massive success, garnering over 100M streams worldwide and widely recognized as one of the most supported tracks among DJs in 2017. As a sign of things to come, ‘BOOM’ kicks off what promises to be a hallmark year for the dance music icon. In addition to the music, Tiësto has announced several major tour dates for 2018, including February shows at Festival Hall in Melbourne and Hordern Pavilion in Sydney, as well as a massive day-long event for Steel Yard London in May. Tickets are on sale now.

 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]L’Tric are back in town with their global success The Way You Are. I loved very much the original and now the remixes are the finest you can expect on a commercial oriented release. Firstly the legend Todd Terry does what he knows best. He plays beautifully with metallic old school bassline along with tribal uplifting style drums along with playful application of synths and vocals. The result is infectious to the maximum with that old school house flavour. Zander deliver the very deep melodic smooth and groovy melodic summer chilling house version with great balearic touches and eternal Ibiza sunsets written all over it.  Pirupa goes for the underground minded version by keeping vocals distorted to the minimum and focusing more on the dark grooves and thumping bassline that wiggles and smashes it big time. Max Leise is doing the cool chilling French disco house version with long intro and main part that is melodic and playful with great carefree attitude written all over it. If you like things tough and groovy then you should park on the Tom Starr space. He does a powerful full on banging, booming and shaking full on version with basslines that crank the stereo systems. This is a package not to be missed. #PureGold Love IT[/content]

Up-and-coming, London based producer, Jonas Blue has released a dramatic reimaging of Tracy Chapman’s classic song ‘Fast Car’. Teaming up with incredible young vocal talent, Dakota, Blue has swapped the original’s lilting guitar for an upbeat tropical house sound - and now he’s ready to unveil the official video.

Set in the dusty, sand planes of the US midwest, the visual focuses on the classic story of boy meets girl, as an epic race across the dunes develops. After crashing her motorbike, one of the men, all of whom were trying to keep up on horseback, takes it upon himself to go to her aid. The two then spend the night under the stars in the desert, tapping into bohemian themes of freedom and love, before one last twist ensures adds to the hazy, dream-like nature of the video itself.

With the record itself already a certified global smash - it’s claimed the #1 spot on iTunes and certified Gold in both Australia & Sweden, reached #3 on the UK’s viral Spotify chart, #2 on the US viral chart, #4 on the global chart and amassed almost 10 million plays on Spotify too - the official video is sure to add to the global buzz surrounding the single.

About Jonas Blue
21 year old Jonas Blue has been busy perfecting his craft as a producer, spending time collaborating in studios in L.A, Stockholm and London. Blue takes his musical cues from pop and classic dance music, as well as from the Tropical House sounds of producers such as Felix Jaehn, Lost Frequencies and Kygo.

His latest single came about when he had the idea to recreate one of his mother’s favourite songs that he remembered hearing on repeat as a child. Crafting the music came naturally to him but the difficult part was finding a voice who had the richness and depth that made the original so special.

On an autumn night in an East London pub however, Jonas heard a unique, bluesy voice coming from the basement. He immediately knew he'd found the singer for his version of Tracy Chapman's classic 'Fast Car', that singer was Dakota. The very next day she was in the studio with him to record the song, and the results were just as he'd hoped for. 

FAST CAR IS AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE NOW:

A superstar collab made in dance heaven, Wombass is all you expect from two heavyweights like Tiesto and Oliver Heldens teaming up. The melody is a direct hook, based on an addictive bassline, taking on some cool breakbeats and strings, while presenting a straight in-your-face house rhythm. Hot stuff made to raise some excitement on the floor!



Dimitri Kechagias review: Tiesto is one of those djs that doesnt have any complex and you can see that from his belief in collaborations. Rather than being in his ivory tower on his own he collaborates with top talents like Oliver Heldens who manage to bring his own sound. Wombass is an amazing piece of driving future house with pulsating garage 90's basslines, chunky techy drums and great synthy hooks along with ravey style themes. The breakdown is a surprise as we get shinning glowing colorful orchestral strings reminiscent of Tiesto past anthems. The drop is seriously infectious so if you like the bass as I do get on the floor and discover what Wombass hype is all about! Lets hope for a vocal version soon!#PureBassPower Love It

1-Afrojack feat. Mike Taylor - Summerthing (Shapov vs. M.E.G. & N.E.R.A.K Remix)





Dimitri Kechagias review: The awesome summer anthem Summer Thing from the tried and trusted hands of the superstar dj Afrojack featuring the brilliant vocals by Mike Taylor is remixed in perfection by Shapov vs. M.E.G. & N.E.R.A.K who provide the mainstage banging version that will bring mayhem and hysteria without doubts. Deep pounding banging basslines, fat booming grooves, rough drum programming and great arrangement that will have immediate impact on any dj set. The breakdown is packed with euphoric synthy riffs while the climax is full on and in your face with just some snippets of the original vocal. The main breakdown allows Mike Taylor and the tropical summery groove underneath to dominate the atmosphere along with beautiful guitar riffs until the big epic synths will lead the track to the rocking and shaking drop that will be remembered for long. Better dont miss this monster! #PureGold Love it

Dimitri Kechagias review: The Nights is the current Top 10 in UK from the Swedish star Avicii. Now I have in my hands two of the great remixes that are out on all major download shops. Firstly is Mike Mago who does his best to bring the house down and delivers his exceptional Future House version that is upfront and ready for mainstage action. Vintage influences, bouncy old school basslines, tough techy grooves, rave style synths and superb application of the original vocals. Grant Nelson delivers the more dark and twisted deep house version that has elements of what we tern now deep house but actually has Chicago house influences as well. Very classy, functional and rounded version with the vocals stay in the background and the dark bassline driving the action. Top notch remixes for a global smash for Avicii who will perform at this years Tomorrowland festival. Love it

The only 21-year-old producer Philip George from Nottingham does't like styles and substyles of House Music. He creates whatever he likes. In his new single, "Wish You Were Mine," which will be published on 28.12.2014, the young Briton uses clever the famous chorus from the song "My Cherie Amour" by Stevie Wonder.

In his native Philip George celebrates first successes. His track made it to # 7 in the Shazam UK charts. "Wish You Were Mine" reached a daily average of 80,000 Plays online (over 1 million). Also, BBC Radio 1 became aware of the artist and made his track to "Track Of The Day" and took him to the BBC Radio 1 C list.





Dimitri Kechagias review: It is such a big pleasure to review one of the first house anthems and chart hit for 2015. He is definitely a name to watch and his magnificent old school anthem Wish You Were Mine put him straight away in the map of those to watch and wait big things in the coming year. His track is a great hybrid of deep house, melodic house with electronic synths, chunky groove and old school garage house bassline that sounds large on the right soundsystems. The classic house organ riff is present in it as well to add that Ibiza atmosphere and take our mind, body and soul to foam parties and crazy nights out in the white Isle.  The vocal sample is used stretched and chopped in pieces to accommodate his great foundation of wonderful mesmerising sounds. Of course whenever you hear those lyrics you get goosebumps straight away and he applies them in all the right places. Wish You Were Mine is number 2 record at the UK Top 40 in 2015 and its up to Philip to grow his career on the back of this enormous hit. Now additional remixes are on offer to extend our pleasure with it. First of all is the DJ SKT Remix that moves on the same safe pathway of deep house with bassline that is absolutely mouthwatering and danceable rhythm that makes you wanna dance with somebody even if he/she is not the one that loves you. With 90's rave culture influences and UK garage house elements the remix is pleasurable in its full vocal or dub mixes. Mandal & Forbes remix attempts to inject the track with balearic house elements and turn the track into an uplifting house affair with feel good summery old school piano chords  with airy pads, colourful synths and positive atmosphere that gives you instantly a wide smile in your face. Last but not least Wide Awake remix translates the original into an aggressive future house anthem that djs like Laidback Luke and Oliver Heldens will adore to play. Excellent trap breakdown, weird in your face basslines and huge siren effects for the best club experience ever.  #PureGold Love It

After the incredible success of "The Days" follows now on 01.12.2014 the appropriate EP: "The Days / The Nights"!

In addition to the current hit with Robbie Williams, # 1 on iTunes in 10 countries and top of the German airplay charts, it is also the new track "The Nights" and each a remix of the title. Avicii, undoubtedly one of the most sought after DJs worldwide with enormous success lays with this EP again gradually increases the voltage to be 2,015 highly anticipated second album "Stories" all the more.

A brief history: On Aviciis debut album "True", which has sold over 5 million copies worldwide now, there was in 2013 fastest-selling single "Wake Me Up". The track ended up in an incredible 84 countries at # 1 on the charts and led the modern dance music into a new era. In Canada, Germany, Sweden, the UK and Australia it has been awarded the Platinum Award, in, inter alia, Mexico, Austria, Hungary, Ireland, Russia, Switzerland and New Zealand with gold. His musical talent earned him not only the attention of a diversified, international audience but also the respect and recognition of his colleagues. So it is only logical that Avicii collaborated among other things  on his new album 'Stories' with international superstars such as Coldplay and AVICII is one of Madonna's new album producers too.





Dimitri Kechagias review: Avicii is definitely one of the hottest producers with huge talent and great ideas. His The Days / Nights EP facilitates his ability to compose tracks that move between different styles and manage even to make country music acceptable to a non American audience as well. The Nights doesnt have Robbie Williams on vocals but instead it has great lyrics that follow the "Dont Worry Child" style of father talking to his son and telling him great wisdoms about how he must learn to leave life to the fullest and enjoy every single minute of it in order to remember them. The lyrics are very memorable and will resonate to many males out there. Emotional melodies, uplifting synths, quitar riffs and great country style tone in the singing will definitely turn this track into a very radio friendly anthem. Felix Jaehn delivers the remix and he does his best to impress with his very deep house meets electronic style that includes sunkissed melodies and sunsoaked atmosphere to bring summer in cold winter nights.  The package now includes the superb Henrik B on The Days with Robbie Williams on vocal duties. Henrik B from Sweden slowly rises up high with releases on top labels like Axtone and Le7els. His remix is melodic progressive house accessible to mainstream radio audiences with electro rockish basslines, chunky grooves and euphoric synths to support the brilliant vocals. Finally Avicii by Avicii remix on The Nights  is the more club oriented / festival friendly version that starts with cool melodic intro with quitars and break beats plus the very inspirational vocal followed by agressive electro house basslines in the thumping drop. The main breakdown allows some hints of the American folk song influences to crop up but very soon the fat drops returns to make the crowd go insane#PureGold Love It

After the unprecedented success of crossover chart anthems "Red Lights" and "Wasted" Tiesto now is back with the third single from his critically acclaimed album "A Town Called Paradise". Meanwhile versed what the art of high-end relates to music production, it's a track that arises from a similar formula as it did the LP, which already counts two UK Top 10 hits, and therefore the two highest ever chart positions ever for Tiesto were brought forth. 

Designed around the powerful, heartfelt vocals of DBX, "Light Years Away" delivers exactly the euphoric energy that the fans expect from Tiesto and still shows a  tangible emotional depth that distinguishes his pieces currently. Delicate piano harmonies and exuberant melodies provide the perfect counterpart to DBXs voice, which is in the early stages of the song in the central foreground followed by the explosive bass and Tiesto typical dance and synth lines.  Wonderfully balanced and chart focused dance Music is created.

With the two hits "Red Lights" and "Wasted", that already celebrated their peak at # 6 and # 3 in the UK Singles Chart. The new single "Light years Away "is now ready to continue the chart successes in similarly impressive fashion.



Dimitri Kechagias review: Tiesto is considered to be the first dj who manage to capitalise on his success and translate his domination of the dancefloors and festivals into mainstream chart success. Of course it took him a long way but success comes after hard work and focused productions like the ones included on his latest album A Town Called Paradise. The 3rd single coming out from the album that Tiesto announced in his interview at the last years ADE is the fantastic Light Years Away. Superb vocal with lyrics that stay in your mind for long and manages easily to crawl under your skin and become part of your musical DNA. The performance has that indie rock edge that seems to work perfectly with the fat banging grooves, heavy energetic basslines, uplifting euphoric synths and superb emotional breakdown with sweet piano and classical music strings. Cinematic dreamy atmosphere mesmerise the audience and the optimistic hands in the air synths will bring them closer to feel the beauty of being one on the dancefloor indifferent from race, gender and sexual preferences. Music will always unite us even many Light Years Away! Quality progressive house bomb that shines fr0m the first minute till the last. #PureGold Love iT

From a youth spent sneaking into Stockholm’s underground nightclubs to the ardent support of Swedish House Mafias’ assorted members, Otto Jettman is undoubtedly the next in a line of explosive new talent to emerge from the Refune Records stronghold. Welcomed into the charts and global clubbing circuit alike, his Otto Knows moniker has come to embody the true potential of passionate creativity within global dance music.

Brought to the attention of Sebastian Ingrosso thanks to a chance meeting in their native Stockholm, his development as a DJ and producer came through the first hand experience of touring alongside the Refune head honcho. Debuting alongside none other than Tim Berg and Swedish peer Oliver Ingrosso, the time between ‘iTrack’ and his breakthrough single ‘Million Voices’ was a period of considerable development under the watchful eye of Sebastian Ingrosso. Created in the back room of the studio whilst Ingrosso and Alesso penned festival favorite ‘Calling’, ‘Million Voices’ would propel the young producer forwards, proving a consistent favorite both across the airwaves and on the white isle of Ibiza throughout 2012 and setting the benchmark for his productions at an all-time-high.

Otto Knows is quickly becoming one of Sweden’s most popular exports, the next in the country’s rich lineage of musical talent.

Thanks to this wide attention, "Million Voices" manage to  breakthrough into the mainstream. The track sat down at the top of the Shazam charts and was inducted into the prestigious A- playlist of BBC Radio 1, where he received a flood of new fans with every appearance.

Meantime "Million Voices" was among the top 15 of the UK singles charts and reached gold status in Australia , Ireland, the Netherlands and Sweden, and platinum in Belgium. Pete Tong , the British DJ and internationally recognized opinion leaders,  declared him as one of the " Young Stars" of 2012. "Million Voices" has what it takes to be a true classic. This song clearly entered the new producer at the international stage , who has since reliably proves himself as an exceptional talent from which the dance floors of the world can expect a lot more .

Otto, who focuses on quality rather than quantity, is waiting for the next release and is currently working in his studio on new pieces. After the two impressive and frequently played remixes of Dada Life and Burns in 2012 thet put the young producer in 2013 in a big way and after he produced a number of new , fascinating pieces . His remix of the track " Starlight " by Don Diablo and Matt Nash,  Axwell released on the label the Axtone earned him more laurels and was played in heavy rotation . How wide is the range of his ability , he proved with the pop dance anthem "Work Bitch" , the first single from Britney Spears' new album "Britney Jean " . With further releases of original material in 2014 are quite Otto year.

And outside the studio is Otto Knows not idle , but internationally on tour. In 2013 he graduated with an India tour in December , where he was traveling together with the international star Avicii . Among the variety of club and festival appearances this summer include gigs at the Electric Zoo Mexico, the Bravalla and Light Festival in Las Vegas and a headlining appearance at Emporium Festival in the Netherlands , which is just another proof of Otto's success.

The much-anticipated new single from Otto Knows " Parachute " appears in early summer 2014.

Dimitri Kechagias review: Million Voices talented producer Otto Knows from Sweden strikes back with  big bang and is ready to move and shake big crowds worldwide with his exceptional anthem Parachute. The track is  magnificent full vocal progressive house banger with electro and even rock fusions. It starts all bouncy and banging until to land on the first short intro breakdown where we hear the cool sing a long chorus line and then the kick returns along with aggressive rock guitar influenced basslines. Very energetic and pumping will be hard to resist the immense energy that this massive sounds vibrate to the world. The breakdown is really balearic and summery with rock guitar licks, sun kissed melodies and the fantastic feel good inspirational vocals that make you think of early morning sunrise or late afternoon sunset in Ibiza. The track slowly builds up the tension and pushes the adrenaline levels to the limits until the bouncy rough and rocking manic kick drops for the full on hands in the air in your face climax that combines cleverly driving rough basslines with rock guitar riffs and uplifting synths. The final drop is rough, wild and super dirty with acid funk edges. Parachute is destined to become one of the hottest anthems for the summer of 2014! Just wear it and let yourself go with its magic flow! #PureGold Love IT

Tiësto's new single "Wasted" premiered in the UK l at Pete Tong's celebrated BBC Radio 1 show.

The song features a rich, pop-influenced sound, but also retains the euphoric energy of the harder club anthems that Tiësto is known for. With "Wasted" he presents his precise production talent and masterful sense of chart hits again. An incredibly infectious hook, melodic synthlines, anthemic crescendos and a throbbing bassline - "Wasted" has all the typical features of a further crossover chart Smash Hit.

After the stunning success of his single "Red Lights" - the first of his songs ever to reach # 6 at the top 10 of the Official UK Singles Chart. With the prospect of his new, long awaited album, "Wasted" is another hit guaranteed  that will impress the listeners.



From the new album "A Town Called Paradise" pre-order coming 13th May, released 13th June





Dimitri Kechagias review: Tiesto is one of those artists that manage to write his own chapter in the history of electronic dance music. He is very lucky to have in his career many first ideas that other djs followed them. For instance he was the first to organise a concert with him playing at the stage not in his natural place that is the dj booth in the  club but in a stadium in front of thousands clubbers who came to stare at him as they do when they go in a concert to watch an orchestra or a pop artist. In that way he immediately raised the profile of dj profession as a job that deserves the rock star status. Also he was first to release those concerts on DVD's and in that way to spread their influence all over the world. Tiesto is the first for trying new ideas and his track Wasted is definitely not something you expect from a dj who plays fat banging beats and booming heavy basslines. He decides to release a track that doesn't target the clubs but clearly targets the radio stations and the audience who is not very familiar with EDM and definitely with this track he focus in the USA market. With 112 BPM the track is very slow for a club track but we all hope for a massive remix package that will allow the fellow djs to play it in their dj sets. One of the highlights is Matthew Koma who has one of the finest voices in EDM and his performance in every single track he takes part manage to elevate the instrumental to another higher level. Rough beats are included, tough basslines are smashed in, euphoric synths are injected and nice rock guitar riffs are melted into it. Chart HIT 100%  with American flavour! Now the package comes complete with additional fat club remixes. Mike Mago is on remix duties and he does his best to take us deep down with his awesome deep tech translation. Minimal techy groovy beats, deep haunting basslines, 90's acid house influences, pitched down vocals and great atmosphere perfect to relax and drink your favourite fruit punch in a cool beach bar. It smells summer holidays and dark sleazy Wasted nights out. TST remix turns the original into a power stormer with heavy hard house drums, aggressive punchy basslines and cool breakdown with piano chords and the outstanding vocal along with euphoric synthy stabs. The drop is hard as nails so better get all the precautions needed cause you are about to rock n roll hard with hands in the air and you guessed it right. You will feel totally and utterly Wasted. Last but not least the beatport chart hit man Ummet Uzcan. His version is playful and perfect to party hard all night long. He applies melodic pop touched breaks with summer party guitar riffs combined with twisted euphoric synths folled by harder electro house drops with wonky basslines and bouncy kicks that work like a treat in any summer festival situation. Excellent remix package to create havoc on any dancefloor! #PureGold Love iT

"Ten Feet Tall" , is the brand new single from Grammy winning producer Afrojack. 

" Afrojack has proven time and time  again that his musical range is limitless ," says David Massey , President of Island Records. " There is no better platform than the Super Bowl and we 're thrilled to partner with Bud Light to Afro Jack's new single" Ten Feet Tall " featuring our latest signing " Wrabel " to get to the start."

Grammy Award winner, producer and DJ Afrojack is now one of the most respected and best-known artists of the electronic dance music scene ( EDM). Forbes magazine had him in 2013 to number 7 in its ' usually paid DJ in the world ' - topped the list and this year  the Hollywood Reporter named him a global icon , which he  is on track to conquer the world. After a three year residency at "The Wynn" Afrojack in 2014 begins a new chapter in the hot spot and leading nightclub in Las Vegas, " Hakkasan " . He returned also to Miami to headline  the Ultra Music Festival and to offer to his devoted fans a first taste of his hotly anticipated debut album.





Dimitri Kechagias review: Afrojack never stop to amaze with his fantastic singles. Taken from his forthcoming album Forget The World, the track Ten Feet Tall is a magnificent euphoric prog house beauty with the brilliant Wrabel vocal that has the most appropriate voice to elevate this track to a higher level. The remix package is the finest that you can wish to get. First of all the good Afrojack's friend and ex number 1 dj of the world David Guetta who service his highly energetic version that pumps hard with tough drums, in your face basslines and great breakdown with rock guitar licks, piano chords and the emotional vocal that shine bright. The drop goes totally out of your head with aggressive basslines and festival house atmosphere that whenever you hear it brings to your mind pictures of huge.crowds that jump and dance without any objection or reservation. Afrojack & D-Wayne remix is an energetic prog house meets dirty dutch house version with melodic sweet and very fragile breakdown followed by the thunderous in your face bass line that attacks like blood hungry lion without mercy.  Borgeous remix follows his  Tsunami single style with very emotional breakdown with full vocals and uplifting trance synths to raise your spirit and make you dance as hard as you can when the hardstyle groove returns along with euphoric synths on the top. Brennan Heart & Code Black remix is the perfect antidote to boredom with its happy melodies and the super hard beats and basslines that will blow the speakers. Get ready for a harddance anthem for this summer.  Quintino remix continues on the epic festival house style that is euphoric, feel good and positive with hard smashing basslines and in your stomach drums to cause earthquake on the floors. Last but not least twoloud remix is awesome version with fat and meaty tough beats, distorted playful energetic basslines and massive breakdown with colourful euphoric synths that excite the crowd and builds anticipation like fireworks. The drop is unstoppable, uncontrollable and absolutely body jumping! Love IT
