[Progressive House] Panama Wedding – Uma (Jenaux Remix)

Posted by Brooke Ferguson - July 15, 2014

Panama Wedding
Uma (Jenaux Remix)

It has been quite some time since we last heard a decent progressive house track that hit us right in the feels. Sometimes we like to throw ourselves back to the time where artists like Porter Robinson, Fedde Le Grande, Alesso, etc. took us on those unforgettable and uplifting rollercoasters full of emotive highs and lows. Gosh, we sure do miss the days where dance music allowed us see right into each others souls while simultaneously allowing us to release our problems with each and every kick, boom, and hoo-rah.

Well ninjas, we are about to restore your faith in dance music all thanks to NYC producer, Jenaux. Notorious for his earth-shattering productions, Jenaux has officially outdone himself with his latest remix of Panama Wedding’s song, “Uma”. Starting off with an epic piano intro, Jenaux masterfully uses this stunning piece to his advantage by giving it a boat load of cry-worthy synths, a cheerful build, and an ethereal breakdown that’ll send us all back to our favorite festival moments. There is definitely hope for this genre and it’s artists like Jenaux who give us living proof that feel good music still exists in today’s dance music culture.

Get your free copy today and prepare for some serious throwback sensations because you’re about to be on a progressive house kick for the remainder of the day. Sorry about it, folks!

[Evil House] Rowland Evans – Vigilante (Original Mix)

The Florida humidity is making its rounds today and it has officially made its way over to good ol’ Southern California. Just when we thought it couldn’t get any hotter than it already is, Rowland Evans sends us straight to purgatory with his heat-filled original new track, “Vigilante”.

“Vigilante” is nothing like its title describes it to be, in fact, it should have been called “Villain” based on the evil resonance of this track. With a heaping load of malevolent horns, a sinister bassline, and nasty breakdown, “Vigilnte” is the perfect soundtrack to everyone’s worst nightmare. Evans killed it with this one, however, we recommend you turn on your nightlight and hide under the sheets with this one because you’re about to be sent straight to the fiery pits of your impeding doom.

Well, you all know what today is, so we won’t make note of every writer’s tendency to mention the Monday blues. We definitely understand how most of you are feeling on this ominous morning, but don’t worry, we promise to only bring you the most pleasant of sounds to help sooth those unbearable hangovers.

18-year old Tropical House producer, Jakob Bjorn-Hansen, otherwise known as Bearson, just released one of the most euphoric remixes of the Summer. Taking on the heavy feeler, “Nothin On My Mind” by astronomyy, Bearson takes this ambient chill-wave song to new elevations to which he sends us all soaring above the clouds and into a trance-like state of mind. Honing down on the original guitar melody, Bearson adds a smooth and subtle dash of sugar, spice, and everything paradise. So if you’re suffering the repercussions of your poor decision-making this past weekend and are in need of a mental cleanse, then look no further because we guarantee this song will help alleviate your sorrows and give you a fresh start to a wonderful week ahead.

PS: Did we mention it’s free?

[Chill] Whitney Houston – It’s Not Right But It’s Okay (Sci-Fi Scheme Remix)

It's Not Right But It's Okay (Sci-Fi Scheme Remix)

Soundcloud

Anytime anyone touches a Whitney Houston song, we cannot help but imagine the only two outcomes in this type of situation: (1) Absolutely yes and (2) Absolutely no. Today we have something that falls in the category of “Absolutely yes” thanks to the likes of Sci-Fi Scheme. Sci-Fi Scheme took on the big Whitney number, “It’s Not Right But It’s Okay”, and gave us more the reason to miss the goddess of power-house ballads.

With less than 1,000 followers on Soundcloud and only 9 songs on his SoundCloud, there was something that popped about his style of production the moment we stumbled upon his page. We’ve been keeping our eyes on Sci-Fi Scheme for quite some time now and today he definitely gave us a good reason to share his Whitney Houston remix with all of you. As soon as you hit play you are sent into a lucid state of mind where you are inevitably sucked in with dreamy piano synths, Whitney’s angellic voice, and a sub bass to send us all into chill overdrive. Sci-Fi Scheme truly captured the essence of simplicity at its finest with this remix and we just can’t seem to stop listening to this. As you prepare for your Saturday night, make sure to take some time to catch these chill vibes to get your mind in the right place. Cheers ninjas!

[Indie Funk] Saint Pepsi – Fiona Coyne

We’ve been searching long and hard for that one song that encompasses everything Summer represents. With such great music coming out each and every week, the search has become almost too challenging for our taste, however, despite those grueling efforts, our team here at TMN is happy to announce that we have officially broken our dry spell with the Summer anthem of 2014 and would like to generously give the winning song to Long-Island musician, Saint Pepsi.

Saint Pepsi, otherwise known as Ryan DeRobertis, is one of those artists that synth-fully blends together nostalgia, love, and cognitive dissonace. His music makes your subconscious process the emotive value of his words, but your body is forcing you to dance through the conflicting thought patterns. Talk about a pickle to be in.

Just recently, Saint Pepsi signed with Carpark Records and released his debut single, “Fiona Coyne”. Shifting into more of the indie-pop realm of production, he has taken his sound and redefined everything we know and understand what it means to be elevated to new heights. With the release of this track and with new music on the horizon, Saint Pepsi is preparing us all for what may be the end of the internet as we know it.

“Fiona Coyne” was inspired by a character from an old Canadian teen drama, Degrassi: The Next Generation, in which Saint Pepsi expresses the idea that music is capable of sparking romance in places we may not deem possible. The concept alone has a much more intrinsic value beneath it, but on the surface, this song has an addicting melody, a funky beat, and some adorable nostalgic lyrics to match the summery, groovy vibe. Saint Pepsi has pushed pop-culture into a more positive limelight and “Fiona Coyne” is proof that artistry and eclecticism still exist in our world. We think he has definitely fulfilled his ambitious goal of “creating pop music for freaks”, so why don’t you press play and re-kindle that flame between you and your soul because you might just find yourself floating amidst the clouds.

Pre-Order Fiona Coyne here – Out next month on Carpark Records

[Nu-Disco] Televisor – Neon

We absolutely love when we stumble upon those tracks that make us want to boogy ourselves back into the 80’s synth days full of big hair, bold colors, and a pair of black lungs to match our chainsmoking alter-egos. These scenario-inspired tracks are difficult to execute and extremely rare to come across, however, we always seem to find them because we are ninjas and we have been training for this moment our entire lives.

Disco duo and groove masters, Televisor, recently unleashed their inner diva personas with a new original, “Neon”. This track is the perfect song for any occasion, whether you’re BBQing with your friends at a pool party or you’re getting ready to watch an intense episode of Cops – you can pretty much choose you’re own setting and it will be suitable no matter what. With its strong synth lead and Nu-Disco flow, Televisor takes us on an intense journey back to a time most of us didn’t even exist (instead we act as if we did and call it a day). If you love 80s synths and some Daft Punk vibes, then “Neon” is going to rock your boat more than anything else out on the internet today.

So before you prepare to watch multiple re-runs of “VH1: I Love the 80’s”, make sure to grab those dancin’ shoes, tease your hair the Farrah Fawcett way, and bump this tune all the way up because you’re about to experience a blast from the past.
