The Wall is On the Rise

You'd be hard pressed to find an EDM artist that @evasimons hasn't collaborated with recently. This time she hooked up with up and coming Dutch house producer @djapster on a new heat rock titled I Need More. Chalked full of uptempo club rocking synths and sultry lyrics, it's about as contemporary club as you get.

As a side note, it's becoming increasingly clear that similar to Hip Hop with Young Money and G.O.O.D. Music, there are a few big time record labels in electronic music that seem to reel in a lot of the well known talent. The first that comes mind is Ultra Records, which used to have @tiesto and currently has @BennyBenassi, @basshunt, @CalvinHarris, @kaskade, @deadmau5, @steveaoki and @wolfganggartner to name a few.

The next label that is starting to build a stable of serious electronic talent is @djafrojack's outfit, Wall Recordings. Holding down the Netherlands like a boulder size paper weight, @wallrecordings now houses (pun?) the likes of Afrojack, Apster and @djr3hab to name a few artists I've recently posted tracks by. Call it a mini-stable or a developing movement to be wreckoned with, either way they're putting out some great music and starting to make some noise in the electronic industry...#YouveBeenWarned

Afrojack Rocks the House

My weekly visit to Beatport turned out to be fruitful this week as I uncovered the new electro anthem Rock the House by @djafrojack. The track has it's fair share of build ups and crescendo's to go with a catchy "Rrrr ra ra rock this house" sample. The original mix below is a marathon of a track eclipsing the 7 min mark, so if you're one who reads the cliffnotes to books, you may want to hold out for a radio edit at some point.

If you forced me to choose between his new one below and his previous single Can't Stop Me Now, I'd have to side with his previous release. Between the beat being a little less repetitive and @shermanology pitching in some high octane vocals, it's the all around better track. Still, tracks don't get to #1 on Beatport by being sub-par, so if you're a hardcore electronic fan, you may prefer the vocal-less track below...#CantGoWrongWithAfrojack
