[Dance / Trance:] Martin Garrix feat. Usher – Don’t Look Down [YT Music Awards] & [Throwback Trance:] Armin Van Buuren feat. Ana Criado – Suddenly Summer (Norin & Rad Remix) [ASOT 556]


Featured in the Youtube Music Awards is dance trackDon’t Look Down” by EDM artist and DJ, Martin Garrix with vocals from R&B sensation Usher. The result is a quite uplifting dance track with an equally interesting, fun and silly music video embracing feeling the music and letting yourself go. Check it out above and more from the YTMAs in the aforementioned link above.

Our next throwback and trance tune is one of my favorites from Armin Van Buuren’s trance megamix series, A State of Trance, this track from its 556th edition is an absolutely stunning and excellent remix of “Suddenly Summer” by Armin Van Buuren featuring female vocalist, Ana Criado. The Norin & Rad Remix takes this trance tune to the top with a simply transfixing repeating synth melody that begins around the 4:30 mark. Take a moment to sit back, relax and let this song take you away

[SAXUAL REMIX:] Milky Chance – Stolen Dance (Alex Brandt’s Saxual Edit)


[Chill/Ambient:] Stolen Dance (Alex Brandt’s Saxual Edit) – Milky Chance

The smash-hit single “Stolen Dance” by alternative electronic band, Milky Chance gets yet another remix, this time a Saxual take from EDM artist and producer, Alex Brandt. This particular “edit” doesn’t change a whole lot from the original song but, it doesn’t need to. The addition of some saxophone riffs and melodies further complement the extremely chill vibe of the original and the song as a whole. You can’t go wrong with what sounds like a Jazzy Club remix of Milky Chance! Check out more from Alex Brandt below:

[Dance / House]: Kygo – Stole the Show


New release from Norwegian DJ and producer, KygoStole the Show” has a very original dance, house feel with what sounds like rainforest or pan flutes accentuating it’s calming, but funky rhythm. We’re left with a very chill track, perfect for rounding out a long day or relaxing at the end of one. The song’s music video is also noteworthy for a very different aesthetic approach featuring two “in love” astronauts and lots of breaking, waving, popping and locking. Check it out above and hear more from Kygo below:

[Creds to Mint Tunes]

We also have another house floor-filler in the deep house groove “Funky Sh!t” by Deniz Wanazama. A sick and grimey bassline drop segues into more dance like melodies before returning to the something that would immediately fit into any night clubs / venues “deep cuts” section of the night.
