Jordy Dazz – Claymore (Preview)
After a collaboration with Dannic on "Fuego" and a massive remix of "Fearless Hearts," Jordy Dazz returns to the studio to deliver a ferocious original mix. "Claymore" was first previewed by Revealed Records owner, Hardwell earlier this year -- you may recognize it from his Electric Zoo set or his mash-up laden, Essential Mix. The pulsating build culminates in a massive drop, framed by a horn-like cascade of ebbing synthesis and big room charm. Thankfully we don't have to wait long to get our hands on a 320kbps version, "Claymore" is out December 10th.

Michael Canitrot – Leave Me Now EP
After announcing the formation of Reepublic last week, Michael Canitrot is back on his own and releasing his latest song "Leave Me Now" in an EP complete with two remixes. The original uses vocals to carry the track into a calming melodic breakdown. The first remix by Ryeland adds a dubstep influenced electro bass line while stuttering the vocals to create a completely renvision the original's production style. DJ Meme keeps the feel of the original but reworks the beat to give it a more classical house feel with and without the vocals. You can grab the EP for $2.76 on iTunes or for $9.96 on Beatport which includes an extended mix - the choice is yours.
Alvaro – Make Me Jump (Original Mix)
Alvaro is back with another single after seeing huge support for his last two releases, "Pay Attention to the Drums" and "Make he Crowd Go." "Make Me Jump" starts off with a light synths in a progressive build until the apex when it drops into a heavy horn filled bassline.
W&W – Lift Off! (Original Mix)
Although it has been a few months since W&W released their single "Moscow" and even longer since "Shotgun," it's clear that the Dutch duo has been hard at work in the studio. "Lift Off!" begins with high synths and a spacey melody before culminating in a stutter-laced drop. The hard trance, electro, and punchy bass combine to gives us a genre-blending production - the type of tracks that we have come to expect from W&W. Officially released on Mainstage Records, "Lift Off!" is now available on Beatport.
Avicii and Nicky Romero’s ‘I Could Be The One’ debuted in final stage
After teasing us since April, Nicky Romero and Avicii are finally releasing "Nictim" complete with vocals. "I Could Be The One" is nearly identical to the instrumentals with the removal of Justice's "D.A.N.C.E," creating a different feel from the original.
