Moby drops a monstrous electro mix
Dance music legend, Moby, is not one many would expect to be a technical titan behind the decks, but anyone who has seen him perform live knows that a set from the Grammy award winner is second-to-none. In anticipation of his performance at Hakkasan Las Vegas this weekend, Moby has prepped an hour's worth of bone-shaking electro to cure any mundane evening. With cuts from DJ Snake, Thomas Newson, Congorock and many more, the icon's electro flexing will definitely make his contemporaries sweat. This is how you keep things moving well into the early morning hours.
Good Morning Mix: Martin Garrix Hakkasan Guest Mix
This weekend Martin Garrix makes his Las Vegas debut at Hakkasan. Taking the megaclub's decks on February 2nd, the underage production talent will be bringing his signature electro house style to a crowd all aged older than him. As part of Hakkasan's podcast series, Garrix has delivered an hour and twenty minutes worth of the best that big room has to offer. Clocking in at 27 tracks, the "Animal-sized" podcast opens with Duke Dumont's latest "I Got U," a track that is in sharp contrast to the producer's most infamous hit "Animals." From there Garrix kicks subtly to the curb and pushes the mix into overdrive, bringing the podcast to life with tracks like Audien's "Elysium," Sander van Doorn and Yves V's "Direct Dizko" and Bassjackers & GRX's "Gamer." Classics like Tiƫsto's "Maximal Crazy" make an appearance, but it's Pendulum's "The Island" that evokes a sense of nostalgia for a time when dance music just seemed simpler.
Digital LAB launches Black Label monthly podcast
Miami house poster boy Digital LAB throws his hat in the monthly mixtape arena with the first ever edition of his Black Label podcast. The Size Records representative and "Hit It" co-collaborator opens his mix with a maniacal mash up from Axwell before keeping things decidedly breakneck for the remainder of the mix. Throwing caution (and melodies) to the wind, Digital LAB opts for punchy, main room mischief to define his inaugural podcast. Setting a precedent for whats to come from the producer both in the studio and on the stage, the Black Label podcast laughs in the face of subtlety and puts the pedal to the floor from the moment it it opens. This is one podcast not for the faint of heart.
