MARCH MIXES

April is almost here, so I decided to give you an update on what mixes were uploaded in March. I believe that I have a little something for every taste.
Not only that we have some regular monthly sets, which are essential to survive the month like the ones by Timo$, Eddie Thoneick, Patric la Funk, Melanie Morena or Marco Lys. No, we also have some additional sets from Ultra Music Festival 2013 and a promo mix by DJ Silver.
So I'm keeping the intro short and cutting to the chase, starting with a new set by Patric la Funk. I know that it says it's his February mix, but it's not my fault that he uploaded it in March :D the point it that it's an amazing mix with great tracks:



tracklisting Patric la Funk February mix:
klangkarussell - sonnentanz (sascha braemer rmx)
tube & berger - imprint of pleasure
scheibe - achterwaarts
ralph good - nishtyak (belocca rmx)

If you still can't have enough of Patric la Funk's music, make sure to buy DJ Sessions Volume 01 with a mix by him on one of the three CDs. It's really smashing and I can't keep sitting while listening to it, I need to daaaaaance! One word: INTOXICATING!
I was lucky enough to get this CD signed by Patric delivered to my home, so finally, after so many shows, I can say with relief - I have an autograph by Patric la Funk :D

Before I carry on with my selection from Ultra, I have two more sets for you and they are more than just special. The one is by my good friend DJ Silver and I'm not exaggerating when I'm saying that he's one of the most talented young producers and DJs in Bulgaria. Here's his newest promo mix:



The second special set is by another bulgarian shining star - Metodi Hristov. He had a gig in Moscow a couple of days ago and I'm very happy that it was recorded, so that we can listen to it over and over again:





As promised, here are my personal highlights from this year's Ultra Music Festival in Miami:
















This last set was probably the most expected show of Ultra. Not just because is was a set by Swedish House Mafia, but because it was their last show ever. So sad this might be, it's an incredibly emotional set, full with lots of love, lots of great tracks and good memories. I know how it is to see a show of ONELASTTOUR live, so this is definitely worth the download! They came, they raved, we loved it :)

Summer Anthems 2011

I was thinking about doing this article for a very long time and now, at the end of this year's summer, I'm finally done with choosing THE best songs of summer 2011. Just to be clear at the beginning - I'm not saying that everything else, which was released during the summer wasn't good. I'm just presenting you the tracks which made my summer amazing :) And because they were so special to me, I really wanted to share them with you :) There won't be any particular order on how I'm posting the songs, they are all equally good. Let's get started because I have more than 20 tracks for you!

Often, when you listen to a song at home, it's not necessarily love at first tune. But then, you hear it live at a gig or a festival and BANG..it hits you right there and then how amazing it actually is. That is how I felt with "One for me" by James Talk and Ridney feat. Max C. The song was released in April, but I heard it live when Revero played it at his gig at 3001 this June. One word: AMAZING!

James Talk and Ridney Feat Max C "One For Me" (Out NOW) by James Talk


The next song is a great revival of an epic tune. Mark Knight did something unique with "You Got The Love" by Florence and The Machine. Not everyone could have done it, but he did it - his remix is better than the original.



I had a lot of great moments while listening to the next songs. Avicii is the best example for how it doesn't matter how old you are when you are talented. The guy is a genious! Seriously, every track by him is just so damn good, I don't know how he's doing it..and this is why among my summer anthems 2011 you will find not one, not two, but three tracks by Tim:

PREVIEW Avicii - "ID" by AviciiOfficial

PREVIEW Tom Hangs ft Shermanology - Blessed (Avicii Edit) by AviciiOfficial

PREVIEW Avicii - Penguin (Original Mix) by AviciiOfficial


Alesso is also a producer with a great feeling for music. Every single one of his songs, no matter if a solo project or a collab, turnes into gold. Exactly like the following two tracks:

Alex Kenji, Starkillers & Nadia Ali - Pressure (Alesso Remix) *Preview* by Alesso

Sebastian Ingrosso & Alesso - Calling (Preview) by SebastianIngrosso

I'm so glad that Sebastian Ingrosso discovered him and started working with him. The result was a very fresh Swedish tune. What is more, Alesso made also a remix of "Save the world" by Swedish House Mafia. In my opinion, this is the best remix of this song.



The next song comes from Patric La Funk and Inpetto and it's called "Blizzard". And like its name, it's getting into your system like a blizzard and by turning it upside down you feel so much at the same time...unbelievable. Just like "Momentum" by Ronn Sono & Thice Santoro. And since I know "Momentum" from Patric's sets, this is the place to post it along with "Blizzard". I would love to show you his other project - "Baltic", but unfortunatelly it's impossible to find it unless you listen to Patric's guest mix on Roger Sanchez' "Release Yourself".

PATRIC LA FUNK & INPETTO - BLIZZARD (LQ PREVIEW) by patriclafunk

Ronn Sono & Thice Santoro - Momentum (Original Mix) (snip) by thicesantoro


Another amazing song is the collab between Dirty South and Thomas Gold named "Alive". What can I say - the song is pure perfection and everyone who have heard it would agree with me...

Dirty South & Thomas Gold featuring Kate Elsworth 'Alive' (Clip) by dirtysouth909

The next song comes from the UK. I've always loved everything by Calvin Harris and with "Feel so close" he just proved it once more what a great musician he is:



"Stronger" is very special to me. Not for a particular reason, but because of how I feel every time when I hear it. After two very successful collabs with Erick Morillo, Eddie Thoneick proved once again what a great team he, Erick and Shawnee Taylor are.

Another great track this summer is the very melodic "VMS" by Michael Woods. I love it because it sounds progressive and very soft at the same time.

Michael Woods - "VMS" - [PREVIEW] by michaelwoods

Two more spots on my list are for one producer, which two songs make me unbelievable happy. "Mirage" and "2night" by Eric Prydz are just beautiful:

Mirage (Original Mix) - Pryda by djnickbennett

Eric Prydz- 2Night (Creamfields Live Edit) by MegsRhea


When Tara McDonald and Sidney Samson are working together, the result is explosive. So is their latest track. Good thing they've called it "Dynamite", there's really no better name for it.

Tara McDonald vs Sidney Samson - Dynamite (Club Mix) by Tara McDonald

I'm at the end of my post and as to the last three songs - the music is so much stronger than my words. Listen to them and feel the music. Fedde le Grand, Ned Shepard, Sultan, Swanky Tunes, Arias & Arno Cost - all of them did a great job producing these tracks:

Arias & Arno Cost - The Days To Come (feat Michael Feiner) by Arno Cost

Swanky Tunes & Hard Rock Sofa - Feedback / Spinnin' Records - Preview by Hard Rock Sofa

Fedde Le Grand vs. Sultan & Ned Shepard feat. Mitch Crown - Running (Original Mix) by DailyTunez

I really hope that you will enjoy my taste in music and who knows, maybe one of the songs coulod be your next favourite track :) If you like them, please support the producers by buying the originals at Beatport.

MidWest Music Festival

It's been over a month that I went to the MidWest Music Festival in Neuss. It was THE most important event in the house music scene happening in Germany this year and I'm so glad that I was part of it. The line up was insane: Patric la Funk, AN21, Max Vangeli, Funkagenda, Moonbootica, Martin Solveig, Dirthy South, Eddie Thoneick, Funkerman, Norman Doray, Sebastian Ingrosso, Thomas Gold, Fedde le Grand, Tiesto and Mark Knight. Oh yes, ALL of them!
Behind the organization was partly my favourite club 3001 and this is the time to thank them and the guys from Sushi3000 for making this amazing event possible. GREAT JOB!







Too bad it was raining the whole time and we had the coldest summer day in history, but this couldn't stop the crowd from enjoying the awesome performances.





I really hope that this was just the first MidWest Music Festival out of many and that it will grow bigger and bigger over the years. It was definitely an unforgettable experience. :)

Mark Knight - Yalta Groove

I just realized that Mark Knight's latest song is named after his and mine favourite club - Yalta club in Bulgaria. :D
And since I wanted you to get to know this amazing location better, Mark Knight is giving me the perfect way of doing this.

Mark Knight - Yalta Groove (Podcast Cut) (Mark Knight presents the Toolroom Knights Podcast #043) by dragoe

Just listen to "Yalta groove" and I asure you, it is 100% the sound of Yalta :)

By the way, today is your last chance to vote for the club. In last year's DJ Mag 100 Clubs, Yalta was 62. worldwide, so let's take it to the top now :)
