After debuting on Powerhouse Music with his electro house gem Amsterdamski, Dutchman and Escape Club resident Frederik Abas returns to the imprint with a heavy duty follow up single: Wild. Whereas Amsterdamski showcases a rocking instrumental track, Frederik Abas now goes full vocal progressive on Wild.

On vocal duties is American songstress Alicia Madison, who previously landed releases on a.o. Mixmash Records, Black Hole Recordings, Brawla, Moda Top and Xtravaganza, working with top artists such as Laidback Luke, Moska, Merk & Kremont, Sied van Riel, Starkillers and Promise Land to name but a few.

Wild experienced its premiere spin during Nicky Romero’s radio show / podcast Protocol Radio and was elected the #1 Fresh Track of the Week.

With a series of high profile international bookings and massive singles to be revealed in the months to come, Frederik Abas is heading for exciting times! 



Dimitri Kechagias review: The top record label Powerhouse Music from the Netherlands presents another instant epic progressive house anthem that will stay in your head for many days after dancing with it intensively in the club near you. The superb producer Frederik Abas composes for us the instant club burner Wild with heavy thumping basslines, pounding rough grooves and very strong melodic euphoric theme. The strongest element and the focus point on this anthem is the exceptional voice of Alicia Madison. Her performance shines and really captures your attention straight away. The lyrics are very inspiring as well and not the usual ohh baby style vocals that make you feel bored to death, The breakdown includes very cool break beat like sequence that is effective and relax your senses until the massive drop kicks in for the ultimate euphoric climax with fluorescent synths, playful basslines and superb funky atmosphere. Wild will have the effect that the title states loudly. To make you Wild and free on the dancefloor! #PureGold Love It

Frank & Jelte have been radio DJ's for Dutch national number one radio station Radio 538 for over a decade. Having DJ's like Afrojack, Armin van Buuren, Nicky Romero and Calvin Harris on their show, Frank & Jelte got inspired by the world, lifestyle and success of international DJ's.

Not being afraid of saying their production skills aren't close to their partying skills, Frank & Jelte recorded this debut track with the help of Dutch legend Sidney Samson. Using their radio show popularity and their exceptional ability to party, they've started a campaign getting votes for the world's most respected DJ ranking: the DJ Mag Top 100. And a single release like Press.Play.Jump might just add a bit of musical finesse to that campaign.

Press.Play.Jump is off to a great start as the track already achieved the “made” status during Radio 538’s daily make-it-or-break-it election with a whopping 94% of the votes!



Dimitri Kechagias review: One of the most successful new house record labels from Netherlands is Powerhouse Music. The latest anthem coming out on this top imprint is Press.Play.Jump by Frank & Jelte. The well known radio producers team up with the legend Sidney Samson and the result is a powerful, energetic, dynamic and absolutely stunning production that combines aggressive hard dirty elements with euphoric feel good synths. It starts bouncy groove and driving pumping bassline along with energetic synths. The first breakdown arrives and reveals the massive euphoric hands in the air feel good old school synthy lead recalling the classic by Alice Deejay - Better Off Alone. The drop is maddening with sharp rocking in your face basslines and cracking squeaky dirty sounds. The 2nd breakdown is longer and will present in full the euphoric synthy leads along with claps and live crowd noise. The 2nd drop starts agressive in your face but in the final sequence the uplifting euphoric synthy melody returns for the final hands in the air feel good climax!  The female spoken vocal sample works really well and would be great to have it available as acappella for fellow djs to use it in their mixes! #PureBanger! Love iT

Dutchman Leroy Styles returns with a brand new solo production after co-producing Chris Brown's global hit phenomenon As Your Friend, a studio collaboration with the mighty Afrojack.

Teaming up with the same songwriter who delivered the lyrics for As Your Friend and the Australian songstress Tania Doko, DJ/producer Leroy Styles unleashes his single You & I. Premiered during the Miami Music Week in March on the Ultra Music Festival, this massive production now sees an official release on Powerhouse Music in August 2014.

You & I displays the angelic vocals of Tania Doko combined with a mint production in which a variety of musical elements are fused. You & I hits the progressive button whilst having hints of electro and even a pinch of techno. Overall, You & I is most effective when it's dropped in a peak-time main stage festival set; dance floor massacre guaranteed! 



Dimitri Kechagias review: The top  record label Powerhouse Music from The Netherlands presents the full on epic progressive house anthem You & I by the beloved Leroy Styles featuring Tania Doko exceptional vocals. The heartfelt lyrics performed in true perfection by Tania who has one of the most emotional voices we have heard lately. The track follows faithfully the classic arrangement of cool intro melodic breakdown that allows Tania to shine with her performance supported by airy synths followed by the rough, aggressive but very melodic and euphoric climax as well. The second breakdown is even longer with piano melodies and cool synths while the drop is coming thick, fat and super strong to rock your body hard and make you jump with wide smile instantly. The package includes the instrumental mix as well for the non vocal lovers! #PureGold Love it

Power woman Made In June is one of Amsterdam’s finest up and coming female producer / DJ’s. In a male dominated DJ world, Made In June stands her ground and earned her stripes by turning every club she plays into a mad house.

You And I can be best described as an uplifting, yet atmospheric peak-time tune with a distinctive feminine feel, an angelic vocal and a powerful melody riff.

Superstar Nicky Romero became an early adopter of You And I as he featured the track in his Protocol Radio podcast, which immediately started a big buzz on the worldwide web when the tracklist was revealed to the masses.

On June 20th, You And I will see a full commercial worldwide release through Powerhouse Music. 



Dimitri Kechagias review: Powerhouse Music is the top new label that slowly builds an impressive rooster of great artists and delivers fantastic tunes for clubs and radio playlists. The latest one comes from Made in June and is called You and I. The feedback is  very encouraging so far and the track has the strength to become a worldwide success story. It's a very beautiful melodic progressive house banger that follows the path of the Swedish prog house sound represented by stars like AVICII with great punchy intro and fantastic breakdown that is very melodic and blissful with retro sounding female vocals that add that shinning romantic glow to the track. The lyrics are very sweet and easily particularly young teenagers can easily identify with them and learn to sing them back by heart. The climax is absolutely stunning with energetic uplifting synths upon the bouncy driving groove that carry away the listener for an unforgettable emotional ride. When you listen to it you are immediately transferred to your favourite holiday destination. It sounds like summer without doubts. You and I is an Ibiza  Anthem guaranteed! Love iT

Young Dutchman Asonn, only twenty years of age, is a brand new name to the game but is determined to change this stigma by establishing himself amongst the big league.

As a producer, Asonn is officially adopted and guided by the GLOWINTHEDARK boys who catered the industry with high profile singles in collaboration with David Guetta and Chuckie, and forthcoming collabs with a.o. Nicky Romero, Deorro, Tommy Sunshine and Carnage.

Under the guidance of GLOWINTHEDARK, Asonn already unleashed tunes hammered by the likes of Nicky Romero, Afrojack, Steve Aoki and Dyro. Now welcomed by Powerhouse Music, Asonn’s big-riffed peak time crowd pleaser Keep Rocking marks the next step in his young career. 



Dimitri Kechagias review: Powerhouse Music is always Rocking so it's not a surprise that the brand new release by Asonn is an awesome super strong club banger ready ready for mainstage sets and djs who want to bring earthquakes with their dj sets. Keep on Rocking adopts very cool tribal techy groove along with distorted vocodered vocals on top that add the needed Daft Punk touch. The first breakdown is used mainly to raise the tension to its limits. The cool vocal sample Keep on Rocking introduce us to the huge hardstyle infused drop with fantastic euphoric synths, marching drums and heavy slamming kicks to slap in your a** without mercy. The main breakdown includes nice synthy plucks and very soon the euphoric hands in the air sequence comes in for the full on sequence. The track closes with the last headbanging body shaking drop that will be super hard to stand still.With Asonn the only WAY IS UP! Love iT

Powerhouse Music is proud to welcome Basto to the roster. Whether it’s the sympathetic Belgian’s big room tunes Gregory’s Theme and Again And Again, his production work for the global hit Scream & Shout by Wil.I.Am & Britney Spears or Azealia Banks' breakthrough single 212, Basto productions always equal high quality and innovativeness. 

Teaming up with the angelic Dutch songstress Maruja Retana - who previously worked with Fedde Le Grand, Marco V and Robbie Williams’ producer Guy Chambers amongst others - Basto presents the single Electric Stars. The single will be released as the official theme for the Heineken Ibiza Final 2014: an Ibiza based event held at Ushuaia where Heineken celebrates both the closing of the UEFA Champions League tournament as well as the start of the Ibiza summer season. 

An additional remix was handed in by Belgian producers Alvar & Millas, rapidly emerging talents who officially remixed Britney Spears and Beyoncé. The duo’s tunes may count on the DJ support of a.o. Steve Aoki, Ferry Corsten, Showtek, Chuckie, Cedric Gervais, Nari & Milani, Yves V and the world’s #1 DJ Hardwell.





Dimitri Kechagias review: Powerhouse music is considered to be one of the most promising new record labels coming from the Netherlands. Basto from Belgium joins the label but not with the sound we know him already. His track Electric Stars moves on the modern drum  n  bass / dubstep style with soulful pop touched vocals by Maruja Retana. The melodies are touching and sunny perfect for Ibiza parties. It's great track with big potential. Of course the festival house crowds have their share of happiness as the single includes the brilliant Alvar & Millas remix. Tough bouncy grooves, heavy loaded electrified basslines and summery sunkissed warm synths in the breakdown that enhance the top vocals even more. The climax is fantastic with energising uplifting euphoric synths upon the pumping beats and pulsating basslines. Future Feel Good Anthem guaranteed. Love iT

Disco Fries have gone from making tunes in their dorm room to performing over 70 shows from coast to coast and across the globe. The duo delivered signature tracks which have been co-signed by some of the biggest names in EDM like Tiësto, Hardwell, Kaskade, Steve Aoki and Armand Van Helden.

With support from some of the biggest players and after recently being named one of VIBE Magazines "30 DJs to Watch in 2013", the duo has hit the Hypem #1 spot multiple times with their releases on legendary labels such as Musical Freedom, Cr2, Strictly Rhythm and Sony Music.

Loopers is one of the most promising upcoming producers in the electro house scene, signed to Laidback Luke’s label Mixmash Records. With more than 30 tracks released on the world’s biggest imprints, Loopers is receiving major support by well-known jocks like Tiësto, Diplo, Laidback Luke, Hardwell, Axwell, Sidney Samson, Nicky Romero and more.

We’re proud to welcome these amazing talents to Powerhouse Music with their collabo production Exposure, a rather humongous electro house festival pleaser! 

Dimitri Kechagias review: When the USA based duo Disco Fries and the upcoming fresh face from Amsterdam Loopers come together in the studio the result can only be the energetic and totally chaotic Exposure. The production abilities of all the parties involved are well documented in their tracks so far and Exposure is the mammoth size anthem that continues their good reputation. Powerful energetic basslines, tough drums and very strong euphoric synthy leads combined to create the next big room / summer festivals favourite. The track combines uplifting hands in the air sequences with the rougher and more bass focused drops with distorted vocodered vocals and full on in your face attitude to bring mayhem and destruction without delays. If you search for a track that has the ability to unite and drive thousands of clubbers crazy Exposure is going to do the business perfectly for you! Its one of those tracks that can have big impact so handle it with care! Amazing stuff indeed. Love iT

As the resident at the Amsterdam based legendary Escape club, the Loveland events and all Dutch Hed Kandi events, Dutch DJ/producer Frederik Abas has been active in the dance scene for well over a decade. With releases on the Big & Dirty imprint (Be Yourself Music) and Pyro Records, Frederik now makes his Powerhouse Music debut with the peak-time dance floor destroyer Amsterdamski.

Superstar Nicky Romero exclusively aired Amsterdamski for the very first time during his Protocol Radio show last October (as 'Frederik Abas - ID') as his Freshtrack Of The Week, resulting into an avalanche of comments asking when this would see the light of day…

Out on Beatport on March 10th!



Dimitri Kechagias review: Powerhouse music slowly builds up its release schedule with awesome productions that will be played for long and will satisfy the festival house followers. Frederik Abas offers to the festival family the magnificent powerbanger Asterdamski. Its one of those tunes that have bright future ahead of them and the success is pretty sure as well. Heavy powerful drums, rocking and shocking hard basslines and absolutely maddening atmosphere that will transfer you to your favourite open air festival. The breakdown includes really euphoric feel good uplifting synths that will excite and raise your adrenaline levels to the maximum. The drop takes us nicely on the harder more dangerous powersmashing sequence that nothing will remain the same after dancing along to this. After another breakdown we are taken on the more euphoric sequence again with melody that recalls hardcore / hardstyle tracks and groove that will make you feel huge behind the decks. You are the Lion King of the night when you play the massive Asterdamski. Banging to the maximum without strictly for party hard clubbers not for the weak hearted, Love IT

Uplifting, energetic and solid. Three words that perfectly describe the up and coming EDM talent SL8. His first releases made sure SL8 had a massive jumpstart. The Jochen Miller collaboration South Point was aired on the biggest dance radio stations and was supported by the likes of W&W, Eric Prydz, Ummet Ozcan and Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike.

Shortly after his debut, SL8 teamed up with La Fuente to revamp the all-time classic Fancy Fair, released on Doorn Records, hammered by Knife Party, Nervo, Fedde Le Grand, Calvin Harris, Nicky Romero, Dash Berlin and Sander van Doorn.

For his third offering Drippin’, SL8 turned to Powerhouse Music and it’s a peak-time rocker! 



Dimitri Kechagias review: The superb record label Powerhouse Music slowly builds its reputation and it seems to be one of those labels that will have first role in 2014. The brand new release by the very talented SL8 is definitely an anthem that will crack the codes and create havoc on the dancefloor. It combines elements that are popular at the moment on the dancefloor by delivering a huge PowerBanger that will be hard to stop its attack on the dancefloor. Sweat thirsty club animals will have amazing moments on the mainstages of the big open air festivals that this amazing track has secured a position without second thoughts. It starts all bouncy and pumping until to land on the breakdown that this sweet bells like melody appears to offer the mellow moment of the track. Very soon the beat is coming back for more and on top for it the cool percussion melody like Animals appear but in a very surprising and unique way. Its straight forward epic house anthem with recognisable elements and undeniable strength and immediate impact on the dancefloor. Love iT

Nowadays he performs at the biggest festivals worldwide like Electric Zoo, Tomorrowland, Ultra Music Festival, Creamfields and many more, released tunes on labels such as Revealed, Hysteria, Spinnin, Musical Freedom and Ultra Records and did previous collabs with Tiësto, Lil Jon, Quintino and Blasterjaxx.

Production wise, GLOWINTHEDARK are coming fresh from producing massive tracks with David Guetta, Chuckie, Stargate, Lupe Fiasco and most recently the winner of The Voice of Holland Ben Saunders, with future collaborations scheduled with Nicky Romero, amongst others. 

When locked up in a studio, Alvaro and GLOWINTHEDARK create heavy duty floorfillers and this killer tune Charged, which reached over 20.000 plays on Soundcloud within one day, is just one of more to come...



Dimitri Kechagias review: The brand new record label Powerhouse music presents the brand new magnificent collaboration between  Alvaro & GLOWINTHEDARK that is called  Charged and one thing is for sure. After listening this maddening booming club track will be impossible to stand still and not start jumping and shaking your body without thinking about the consequences. If you play EDM progressive meets electro meets hardstyle /hardcore house tracks then don't miss this BOMB. Its energetic and powerful with constant changes and constant twists and turns in order to keep the clubbers dancing with hands in the air! It starts quite minimal with just the vocals and kicks until to land on the intro breakdown with the magnificent urban dance style vocal to appear and then  the beat to drop and move to the main sequence with hey enthusiastic vocals, sharp basslines, heavy drum beats and unstoppable energy rush taking all over the place. The main breakdown reveals the immense synthy lead that bytes you like a snake and push you right in the middle of the dancefloor. Summer is not so faraway and expect this bomb to land on festivals like Tomorrowland, Hey!! Come ON Love iT

The Blasterjaxx boys are storming the international clubs, festivals and charts like madmen and their current Beatport #1 record will only add to their ever growing status.

In anticipation of their new Powerhouse Music release, to celebrate them overtaking the Beatport charts and with the original version of Faith on the verge of being released worldwide, we reveal two extra remixes we have been hiding in our vaults.

One of the most in demand Dutch DJanes, Lady Bee, delivers a big phat trap rework of the successful original version. South Africa meets The Netherlands in the slamming Bassanova & Dirty Herz Remix which takes the drop to a whole new level. 




Dimitri Kechagias review. The brand new record label Powerhouse Music delivers the goods with another must play big room anthem. Faith is an excellent epic prog meets electro house anthem with addictive vocals. Now the remix package has landed and includes two very surprising remixes. Lady Bee service a very dynamic trap remix with the full vocal ad nice rework of the synthy layers. Trap followers will get trapped to it for sure. Bassanova & Dirty Herz Remix combine their superpowers to provide the magnificent epic prog house meets hard house version with massive drop that will be impossible to stand still. Euphoric synthy leads upon the banging beats followed by hardstyle melodies upon heavy booming maddening basslines. You can not stop throw your hands in the air, sing a long and jump as high as you can. You must have faith on Blasterjaxx they are on FIRE at the moment. Love iT

Releases on a.o. Tiësto’s Musical Freedom, EMI Music, Ultra Music and Ministry of Sound, remixes for the likes of Bloody Beetroots, Lil Wayne, Mightyfools, Sandro Silva, Di-rect and more, performing on festivals such as Dance Valley, Mysteryland, Way Out West Festival and Lowlands, playing Privilege Ibiza alongside Tiësto and during the MTV Awards, UK and Australia tours under his belt: Dem Slackers surely is a Dutch youngster with an impressive track record to say the least. 

 His Powerhouse Music debut release Rocks n Stones, a contagious full vocal gem featuring the angelic vocals of Jerusa van Lith, comes with a fierce package. 

Toby Green (Megaton Records, Denmark), SL8 (known for his Beatport charted Fancy Fair release on Doorn Records / Spinnin) and Asonn (the young protégé of Chuckie’s co-producers GLOWINTHEDARK) handed in fine reworks of the original. 

Dimitri Kechagias review: The brand new record label Powerhouse Music established to bring you only the finest anthems presents the massive Dem Slackers vocal house gem Rocks N Stones. The extended version is a powerful uplifting progressive house slammer with punchy basslines, pumping beats, warm melodies, uplifting synths and the sweet  and so fragile voice of Jerusa who elevates the track to the next level. Toby Green remix is a much more playful harder rework with melodic breakdown and rougher wonky bass focused drops to cause mayhem on the big rooms and festivals. SL8 remix is super effective and absolutely must have if you play festival house and EDM style tracks. The breakdown is calming, sweet and sexy while the climax includes the melodic uplifting euphoric sequence but soon moves to the ultra fat and banging with earthshaking mindboggling hardstyle basslines and full on and in your face jumping beats to start dancing like there is no tomorrow. Last but not least Asonn goes big room to the maximum with party hard version that is pretty unstoppable and totally uncontrollable. Its the kind of version that djs are looking forward to play and the crowds will request it again and again. Top release not to be missed. Love IT
