Our Top Tracks from April are in! From Armin Van Buuren’s ASOT600 opening track ‘This Is What It Feels Like’, to Maor Levi and Pierce Fulton’s monster collab ‘Wanna Be’, you can say April was a big month. Perhaps the biggest news in EDM for quite some time was the release of Daft Punk’s newest track with Pharell, ‘Get Lucky’. Nothing gives us goosebumps more than hearing a new Daft Punk track. What others do you think should make our Top Tracks of April list?

VH1′s SMIRNOFF’s Master of The Mix

DJing is such a hot profession that practitioners of the craft are now getting their chance to make it big via SMIRNOFF’s Master of The Mix show, which is well underway into its 3rd season and airs every Monday at midnight on VH1. A slew of DJs, including the Electronica Oasis supported DJ Brian Dawe, are having their 15 minutes of limelight and a real shot at spinning their way into the mainstream. EO has partnered with MOTM for the next six weeks to bring you fresh coverage of the competition in action, right as it goes down. By last night’s episode, judges Kid Capri, DJ Mia Moretti and Ben Maddahi had managed to narrow down the field to just nine top DJs vying for the coveted title of victor.

We saw Dawe totally nail the competition on the head last night, which was to design a set as an ‘Ode to Miami.’ His success in the 5th episodes means that he will be staying around for another round (and hopefully many more after that!) Dawe killed his song choices, utilizing a diverse and frenetic song selection that ranged from ‘Ice Ice Baby’ by everyone’s favorite rapper Vanilla Ice, to ‘Culo’ by Pitbull, the heavily Latin influenced ‘Danza Kuduro’ by reggaeton master Don Omar and ‘Take It to Da House’ by Trick Daddy. Despite having only a three minute set, Dawe
managed to get the whole crowd dancing, leaving them wanting more. Judge Ben Maddahi called it a ‘great overall set’ and when Dawe returned backstage, sought approval from fellow competitor Tina T. Do we smell a love match?? Dawe probably had a leg up capturing the Miami flavor as a native Floridian, but there is no disputing that he crushed the competition with his all encompassing set.

More about the Electronica Oasis supported DJ Brian Dawe after the jump and make sure to tune in every Monday at midnight on VH1!

Walden – Machine Land EP

7305842 Walden   Machine Land EP

Rising Australian producer Walden releases his newest EP ‘Machine Land’. Walden has gained an incredible amount of support after ‘Intropial’ off Big Beat Records, and he continues to gain momentum. The sound of ‘Machine Land’ is a little different then we were expecting, showcasing Walden’s talent. With darker beats and electro synths, he really took a different approach with ‘Machine Land’. ‘Only Invader’ and ‘Mono World’ also bring unique sounds that will be incorporated into radio shows across the world for the Summer. ‘Mono World’ reminds us a little of a Daft Punk type of track, giving goosebumps all around.

Walden stepped away from his progressive house style with this EP, but we like it. Electronica Oasis has been a supporter of Walden for a long time, and can’t wait for him to be playing main stages at music festivals. Keep it on killing it Walden.

Above & Beyond – Walter White

WalterWhite Above & Beyond   Walter White

The ever impressive Above and Beyond never fails to create flawless concoctions of sounds that send chills of pleasure down their listeners’s spines. With their latest track, ‘Walter White’, there is no exception to the trio’s pattern of tasteful production.

Since its premier as an ID track at the final installment of Trance Around The World from Bangalore, India in November of 2012, the official drop of ‘Walter White’ has eagerly been awaited by A&B followers. Those of us who tune in to satellite radio to get our weekly A&B fill had the pleasure of first hearing “Walter White” on Above & Beyond’s radio show, Group Therapy; Episode #001. (Group Therapy is the successor to A&B’s former radio show, Trance Around The World). Interestingly, ‘Walter White’, which is off of Anjuna Beats Volume 10, was named in tribute to the TV character from the Breaking Bad series. Already a club hit, ‘Walter White’ comes roaring in with a tech-like rhythm. The melody then flows into long, deep bass lines that are almost hypnotic, before erupting again with piercing synths. The song emulates the captivating charisma A&B always brings to the table. Give the track that goes out to “Walter White aka Heisenberg” a listen and see if it can leave you spellbound.

Hook n Sling – Dont You Know

Dont You Know Hook n Sling   Dont You Know

Anthony Maniscalco, better known as Hook n Sling, is always good for a song that can make one feel jovial, as if they have encountered a transcendental experience simply by listening. You know? The Australian DJ/Producer’s latest track off of Spinnin Records, ‘Don’t you know’ does exactly that. A funky disco-esque beat kicks the track off, with delicate, cheerful vocals. Next, the song blasts into a dirty grinding electro-house sound. This is a roller coaster of styles that are strung together beautifully to make a perfect dance track.

The last six years have been a confirmation of Maniscalco’s skill as a producer and a DJ. He started out with his ARIA Awards Nomination in 2007 and grew to fame with chart topping hits, as well as bringing the house down at renowned clubs from all around the world. It is no wonder that he is currently highly demanded to display his abilities for his thousands of yearning fans.
