Sidney Samson – Get Low

By MichelleKUPP (@MichelleKUPP) on April 16th 2012

No – this is not the ‘Get Low’ that put that other guy Lil’ Jon on the map. Coming out on his own imprint Rock The Houze is Sidney Samson’s newest single. Chock full of the bleepiness that makes Dutch house so distinctive, the kicks are high and the drops are hard and seductive, and remind you why Samson is one of the more underrated producers of emblematic Dutch house out there. ‘Get Low’ is an endorphin inducing, dance floor banger if there ever was one.

Released unexpectedly in preview form at the beginning of the month, Hardwell first featured the full version in his post-Miami radio show March 30. Now you can enjoy ‘Get Low’ in its pure, unadulterated form, so get listening!

PREVIEW: Afrojack Feat. Eva Simmons vs. Diplo – Pon Di Control (Gianni Marino Edit)

By Joey Joey Joey (@JoeyJoeyJoeyy) on April 14th 2012

Hilariously good edit from Gianni Marino.

If you aren’t up on Marino then you have much to learn. Already a favorite of Afrojack and Laidback, Marino has came up over the last couple years with some of the wildest dirty Dutch music your iTunes will ever posses. Yep, yes and absolutely. One more for good measure.

Marino’s latest invention flaunts his production mastery. Using Diplo’s classic ‘Pon De Floor,’ he recreates the legendary drop of Afrojack’s ‘Take Over Control.’

Dropped a few days ago by Laidback Luke at the Ministry Of Sound, the dirty Dutch community will be eagerly awaiting the full release.

Coming soon on Marino’s Asia Take Over 2 mix tape.

Lil Jon feat. LMFAO – Drink (Sidney Samson Dirty Remix)

By Lumbajack (@LumbaJack_EO) on March 30th 2012

If you are into those ridiculous overly suggested ‘get drunk,’ ‘party your ass off’ Lil Jon songs then this is a match made in heaven. Something that would be heard in your local college saloon, the most dutch inspired version goes to Sidney Samson. Along with Lil Jon shouting, ‘DRINK! DRINK! DRINK!’ the drop goes hard with all of those lovable dutchey bleeps and bloops. Give it a listen while you pop open the jose cuervo and bud lights.

PREVIEW: Nilson & The 8th Note Feat. Fenja – Looking For Love

By MichelleKUPP (@MichelleKUPP) on March 20th 2012


Get on the bandwagon for Nilson, a Dutch producer who got a start a few years back producing with a name you might recognize, Nicky Romero. We’ve been following this guy for quite awhile, and now his new single with the 8th Note and Fenja ‘Looking For Love’ has been given a release date of March 26 on Cr2 Records. Nilson has a unique personal sound that blurs the lines between tech and progressive, take a listen and watch for the full track next week.

Julian Jordan – Rock Steady

By MichelleKUPP (@MichelleKUPP) on March 19th 2012


Julian Jordan is coming up with the new wave of young producers. Before Pete Tong introduced the track during his Essential selections show, he noted that the Madeon-phenomenon has now posed the question – how young is too young to produce? The answer, if Jordan (aged 16) is an indication, is there is no such minimum. Unlike drinking in the States, you don’t need to have an age requirement to create great music. Hurrah!.

Previewed after its feature on BBC1, today the full version was released on Spinnin’ Records. Introing with a strong, distorted violin chord-esque bassline, the track quickly transitions into a pounding electro-house banger with a Dutch spin.

Angger Dimas & Bassjackers – RIA

By Lumbajack (@LumbaJack_EO) on March 19th 2012

ANGGER DIMAS & BASSJACKERS – RIA
Released today as the third installment on Doorn Records, ‘RIA’ is quite the doozy. The newly popular dutch sensation, Bassjackers and the young prodigy Angger Dimas have teamed up together to make a 2012 juggernaut that fans have been long anticipating.

Just in time for Ultra Music Festival, ‘RIA’ is everything you’d hope it would be. With those eerie dutch synths leading into a destruction of sound (aka Afrojack’s ‘prutataaa‘ on steroids), it is definitely meant to cause some commotion on the dance floor. Be sure to grab your copy via Beatport and hold on tight!

PREVIEW: Willow Smith – Whip My Hair (Dustin Lenji ‘Is Whipping It’ Bootleg)

By Joey Joey Joey (@JoeyJoeyJoeyy) on March 16th 2012

Best known for his ‘Tokyo’ bootleg and its Sander Van Doorn stamp of approval, the rising Dutch artist formally known as Dustindl brings us a playful yet banging track.

With the Willow Smith sample from her inescapably annoying ‘Whip My Hair,’ Dustin Lenji gives us a Dutch-tribal retouch that works on many levels.

Something says he should get this to Laidback Luke ASAP.

No release information yet, but we’re eagerly awaiting the full release. Keep tabs on Lenji by liking him on Facebook and following him on Soundcloud

PREVIEW: Firebeatz – Miniman

By Lumbajack (@LumbaJack_EO) on March 16th 2012

A featured teaser via Spinnin’ TV showcases the dutch natives, Firebeatz‘ brand new upcoming track called ‘Miniman.’ Apart from the electro inspired tracks, Firebeatz loves to recreate such as ‘Where’s Your Head At‘ and ‘Funky Shit,’ this preview begins more towards the progressive side with catchy yet intricate synth leads. Followed by a steady bassline, it quickly reaches the peak. This time around, Firebeatz came at a different approach with ‘Miniman’s’ drop. It is much less ‘in your face’ than their other tracks, but still extremely fun to listen to. This track will be released on Spinnin’ Records, April 9th, 2012. Stay tuned!

Afrojack – Fatility

By Joey Joey Joey (@JoeyJoeyJoeyy) on March 12th 2012

How random!

On a day of huge releases that were lurking for weeks, Afrojack and Wall Recordings pull the carpet from underneath us and give us a release with little heads up.

And what a release it is.

In retro-Afrojack style, the 24-year-old gives us back the dirty Dutch bloops that put him on the map.

Sort of a new take on his fiendishly clever ‘Killer‘ remix, this updates the breakdown and adds the regional bleeps.

For fans of his ‘Killer’ remix, consider it back in rotation with ‘Fatility.’

Out today on Wall Recordings.

PREVIEW: Hardwell & Dannic – Kontiki

By MichelleKUPP (@MichelleKUPP) on March 7th 2012


Dutch sensations Hardwell and Dannic have teamed up to announce an imminent official release date for the collaboration ‘Kontiki.’ This just has the feel of an arena banger, with its intricate synths. In this case, Hardwell and Dannic create a yin and yang of uplifting electro.
