Manchester-based group MDNGHT came out with an amazing single titled “Breeze”, which definitely deserves more attention. Today we give you a remix of that tropical goodness by Finnish producer Tontario with saxophone performed by SaxoKid, spicing up an already juicy tune. The track starts off with smooth vocals from their frontman J, followed by percussion that gives off a summery vibe. The deep house edit with the killer saxophone further accentuates the complexity of MDNGHT’s style of music.

Bringing disco music live, these talented musicians are said to resemble the sound of Clean Bandit and Disclosure. We are excited to see what else MDNGHT brings to the table.

We get real excited every time Felix Jaehn releases new music, and the German producer certainly did not disappoint with this one. Featuring Lost Frequencies‘ co-production and Linying‘s vocals, “Eagle Eyes” epitomizes quality music and mass appeal. The tune starts off with a catchy flute riff,which is a rare choice of instrumentation. These sturdy piano chords and xylophone quickly steal the spotlight, creating a joyful and upbeat experience. Linying’s vocals are clear and pleasurable which further lightens up the mood.

Felix Jaehn is definitely establishing himself as a frontrunner in this genre and popularizing melodic house. Together with tropical house, it will most likely become a household sound very soon. We cannot wait to see what else Felix has to offer.

Sam Feldt has come out with another big-time track! Collaborating with fellow producer Chris Meid who is also making a name for himself in the melodic house scene, the Dutch producer remixes Jose Gonzalez‘ “Stay Alive” and totally hits the jackpot with this one. The mellow vocals fit perfectly with the tropical style of the tune, and brings a smile to your face no matter how much you listen to tropical house. The killer saxophone solo performed by Ben Rodenburg dramatically sealed the deal and made this song stand out like a sore thumb.

Sam Feldt always manages to work with different talented musicians to spice up his work. Filled with such diversity and creativity, his music never gets boring. We would love to see more international collaborations from these European producers. Stay tuned for more!

Labelled as “emotional music”, Addal‘s sensational reworks always manages to capture everyone’s heart. Remixing Christina Perri‘s “Burning Gold”, the Italian producer puts out a juicy track that is both catchy and memorable. The tune starts off with these piano chordal cadences, soon followed by an upbeat ukulele that fills up the mood. Christina’s vocals are encouraging and exciting as shown in her song lyrics. The hollowed humming at the beginning and during the middle of the tune accentuate the “emotional” element of the song, almost like a hymn. The housey beat definitely spiced up the already poppy track without being overdone.

This tune will have everyone clapping their hands and singing along. It it just that powerful. Addal wows everyone once again with this release. Hats off to the talented musician and we are beyond stoked to see what else he is bringing to this genre.

It’s always amusing how producers manage to completely flip the mood of a tune and add their own spice to it, and this track certainly exemplifies that. Canadian group Kayliox released this remix of a Shawn Mendes song titled “Life Of The Party”, and the interesting acoustic-house fusion works amazingly well with this Canadian connection. The tune starts off with a pleasant housey beat, followed by the smooth vocals from the singer/songwriter that give off a rather mellow vibe. The drop comes in unexpectedly and immediately leaves you headbanging to this future house goodness. The bizarre selection is turned into instant gold.

Make sure to grab a free download of the track on their Facebook page here, and we’ll definitely be expecting some big moves coming for these talented artists.

LA-based DJ/producer Borgeous has always been a crowd pleaser when it comes to his hardstyle music. This time he teamed up with Dutch producer Tony Junior and released this rave banger called “Break The House”, and the track is everything the title suggests and more. The hardhitting bass combined with the catchy synth melody throughout the whole track provide us with a neverending eargasm. The drop gives you an adrenaline rush that makes you want to just get up and dance your pants off, start a shuffling pit, or fistpump your arm off, what have you. It almost reminds us of the Showtek banger “Bad”; it is just that memorable.

Borgeous continues to reassure his status as an electro powerhouse with this new release. We are excited to see what else he got in store for us.
