The Week(end) Mix Up is here. A collection of the best new mixtapes & live sets from the past week in electronic dance music. All mixes are downloadable & ready for you to enjoy tomorrow on your drive into work. Nothing better than starting off the week with some fresh new tunes.
This week: Edwin Van Cleef returns with his newest October Mix, Russ Chimes impresses as he always does & Chuckie goes back to back with our good friend Betatraxx in Amsterdam.
Our good mate BetaTraxx will be releasing a highly anticipated 4-track EP titled Mercury on the famed Big Beat imprint on the 25th of this month. The Los Angeles-based producer has included a couple of collaborations on the release, including “Out Of This World ft. Charles I” and the production that we are premiering for you today, “Get Static;” a joint effort from BetaTraxx and Danish producer Morten Breum that BetaTraxx called “a perfect combination of [their] two sounds.” He went on to explain that “often with collaborations the sounds can be a confused compromise between two producers trying be respectful of each others techniques, but with ‘Get Static’ everything just fell into place; with Morten’s Deep House vibe that he loves infused with my harmonies and mix choices, we just both liked it. Really that simple.” 2013 should be the biggest year for BetaTraxx yet; with a full album and live show in the works, we’re thrilled to see what the new year brings. √+

The extremely talented photographer/filmmaker, Alexander Jacob, will be working alongside the rest of the GDD™ team to create artistic, provoking video content that can’t be seen anywhere else in dance music media.

Earlier this week, we featured a new remix from our pal, BetaTraXx, for the ever-popular Indie Pop band, fun., and I mentioned that he’d be releasing another remix for the powerhouse label, Big Beat, in mid-May. Well, today we are fortunate enough to premiere that aforementioned remix, and leaving eloquence aside I can say that it’s very, very good. The release takes a percussive, almost breaky journey through the new single, ‘Arms,’ from Philadelphian singer/songwriter/babe, Christina Perri. ‘Arms’ features beautiful, powerful vocals and lyrics from Christina that BetaTraXx percipiently featured in the remix while simultaneously adding in an undeniable dance aspect. Pick it up on Beatport May 15th. √+

You’ve all heard it, and like it or not, this song is everywhere. I happen to enjoy the happy hit from the NYC-based American Indie Poppers, fun., and today our good pal, BetaTraxx, has released his hard-hitting remix of ‘We Are Young’ on Big Beat Records. We’re happy to hear that BetaTraxx is going to have a busy summer, with another remix coming out on Big Beat on May 15th, an EP coming out sometime in June, and of course, his massive Electric Daisy Carnival debut in Vegas next month. Big ups to ya bud!
