Thomas Gold is back, riding on the infectious wave of positive vibes from his recent Alive single alongside Dirty South, to preview a 2011 rework out of his tremendous drum and piano-driven Marsch Marsch single from last Fall.

Ever since the launch of What’s Up (with Alex Kenji) in post-summer of 2010, the rise of Thomas Gold has been indispensable. Merely a few months after his aforementioned instalment on Spinnin Records, the inspiring German could proudly showcase his release marathon that included nothing but full-on hits such as Areena, AGORa, the remix on We Want Your Soul and the Toolroom piece, which is now well on its way back to make another go at a pole positioning on the charts. Not only was 2010 a complete and utter success for the golden producer, but as this year was kicked off massively with the outing of his monstrous remix on Blow Up with Axwell, the expectations from all progressive-house heads as to whether his talent was sufficient enough to establish him amongst the very forefronters of clubland. And now, a bare 8 months and prominent remixes of Lady Gaga’s Judas, Reach Out and Set Fire To The Rain later, Gold contemporizes one of his first break-through singles which is still being supported strongly by the likes of the entire Swedish House Mafia into a killer cut, hard to equal. Having the storming and long-anticipated Sing 2 Me release coming up on Axtone, the Disney-inspired drum lines and common synth filled chords are set back in the game, to be released as part of Toolroom Records‘ 2011 Amsterdam Dance Event sampler on October 3rd, have a listen!

Since they initially combined forces in 2009 for the remix on Steve Angello’s signature single, Monday, AN21 and Max Vangeli have found themselves caught in a loop of continued partnership and prosperity. Debuting their first single early last year on Size, followed by the ground-breaking release of Swedish Beauty on Refune, the pair comes off a fleet of hit remixes to tease their upcoming artist album on the record label of Steve Angello further. Having given us tasters of the two lead singles – People Of The Night and Whisper – as premiered by Pete Tong on BBC Radio 1, another offering that has been a regular in their recent shows has come into light. Mainly notable for the soulfulness they’ve managed to render in their top notch outlet over the past year, featuring takes on That Sound, Nothing Better, Always, The Island and, most recently, Save The World, Fresh Start evokes the signature sound they’ve built for themselves brilliantly with numerous, harmonically adapted to one another. As we’re still eagerly awaiting the name of the ID, which many have believed to be a remix of Sweet Disposition, to reveal itself, be sure to get your dose of this glorious piece.

Although there may ever again come a track, sufficiently capable of outshining the stainless Space Junk, Joey Youngman, better known as Wolfgang Gartner, does certainly not yield his firm and relentless crusade towards global acclamation. Recognized by his high standards and the characteristic merge of gorgeous break-down melodies and asper beats, Mr. Youngman has recently come out with his freshly squeezed debut album, entitled ”Weekend In America”. Despite the fairly short period of time the Los Angeles-based producer has spent within the walls of electronic dance music, his reputation proceeds him and has steadily immersed into the very heart of clubland to now be undoubtedly classified as one of the big guns.

Striking Beatport with his first release in late 2007 through the San Francisco-residing OM Records, it was not until 2010 and the indenture with the regally influential Ultra Records that the genuine and extraordinary creativeness of Gartner faced prosperity across the scene. Releasing such anthemic pieces as Conscindo (with Mark Knight), Animal Rights (with Deadmau5), Undertaker, Illmerica and the aforesaid Space Junk, 2010 became a fruitful year for the American and ended with a nomination at the Grammy Awards for his remix on Andy Caldwell in 2008. Followed by numerous months spent obligatedly cooped up in the studio to prepare his first album release, which was given an early-bird taste earlier this year with the release of Forever, featuring the voice of Will.I.Am, ”Weekend In America” has arrived and it sure was worth the wait.

Amongst the eleven released and unreleased single tracks, I encountered a hit of great measures that made me utterly aware of my strong indulgence for unprecedented and harmonic break-downs. The Way It Was – the single that heavily borrows and enacts elements from the late 1900’s, to many, cumberless lifestyle – augments these signature dynamics and unfolds an exceptional merge of sounds. Harmony, euphoria and powerfulness are all weaved together into a downrightly uplifting melody of catchy chords that gears up to be replaced as the drop climax emerges and emits a setting of vigorous, warped beats – just the way Gartner likes it!
