Davi: Rising Star in the Night Scene

[wp_ad_camp_2] By Damen Smith-Draeko — Davi of Perspectives Digital is a lucid dreamer. Although his Progressive House tracks take us on a wandering journey through id, ego, and libido, there is a fundamental grounding and stability to his productions. Tracking down any video on any of his performances or studio sessions was almost not happening. I was only able to procure one.  It is true what I’ve heard about him being “LA’s best kept secret”. But oh! What a great secret! I was able to locate some of his tracks…

Ché Armstrong Kills It With Assassin Release on Axon Recordings

[wp_ad_camp_2] [wp_ad_camp_1] A new release from Axon from the hands of label manager/A&R, Ché Armstrong. Having previously released on labels such as Full Tilt and Neuroscience, his releases have seen the support of DJs including Dubfire, Paul Oakenfold and Chris Lake. Two tracks. ‘Onda Fuerza’ doesn’t really move us. This release is all about the second track ‘Assassin.’ What can we say? Definitely a chunk of thumpin and bumpin tech house with some haunting chords and a rhythm section that has a bit more of a tough sound to it.…

At the age of 16, it’s obvious that Matt has a great future ahead of him. He’s been supported by DJs such as Above & Beyond, Jon O’Bir and Paul Oakenfold. Léa is a decent tune.

Mariano Favre: Progressive House Paragon

[wp_ad_camp_2] By Damen Smith-Draeko — Progressive House is EDM’s emo family member. It’s the music of dancing in angling boughs of sunshine in a damp room on the northern side of the house. Mariano Favre captures that sunshine with Universe (original mix). This was my first impression of him and of his talent, the first track of his where I actually sat and just listened as I began my research into this extraordinary young man . Universe (Original Mix) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWmTNKcBZOU So far, I liked him. I wanted to hear more.…
