Hardwell releases ‘Apollo’ music video, previews upcoming 4-track remix package
Just in time for some serious Miami Music Week exposure, the remix package for Hardwell's "Apollo" makes it's Revealed Records debut. As the label continues to dominate the release circuit, Hardwell's budding imprint delivers a 4-track package featuring Dash Berlin, Noisecontrollers, Lucky Date and Psychic Type. Each producer lends their own unique style to Hardwell's anthemic original, using Amba Shepherd's vocals as a creative springboard for their heavily remixed iterations. Dash Berlin's 4am remix pulses with ethereal trance progressions before it's thunderous drop, while electro-duo Noisecontrollers intertwine dub and electro into a twisted shell of frothy bass. Lucky Date arrives with his signature frantic bass lines in tow and reminds us why -- when it comes to energy -- electro house reigns king before Canadian newcomer Psychic Type subdues the tempo and develops his own swinging dub-trap hybrid.
Dash Berlin ft. Chris Madin – Fool For Life (4 AM Remix) [Preview]
While the original "Fool For Life" was a soft, emotive vocal track off #musicislife, Dash Berlin has revamped the tranquil trance original with a "4 AM Remix." Preserving the arcing melody and yearning vocals of the original, the true difference surmounts on the track's ramping build up and gated, distorted electro drop.

Dash Berlin feat. Kate Walsh – When You Were Around (Ferry Corsten Fix) (Preview)
Trance fans suffered a hard loss this week following Above & Beyond's announcement that the next episode of TATW would be their last. Hopefully, Ferry Corsten's remix of "When You Were Around" will relieve some of that sadness. Ferry's deft production skills breathes new life into the Dash Berlin original. Emotionally evocative with airy chord progressions, Corsten gives the track a sound facelift allowing Kate Walsh's silky smooth vocals to breathe amongst energetic kicks and enchanting synth pops.
