SONG OF THE DAY: 3Some & Eran Hersh – “Red Alert”

Sometimes a little tweak is all it needs to make something fresh.? Right now there is an inundation of tracks copying the “Epic” and “Animal” formulas, and they are kind of interchangeable with little setting them apart from each other.? Leave it to three Israeli teenagers to make their mark by bringing in a taste of classical music.? While it is doubtful that they played the violin parts themselves, the surprise of hearing the sounds at the first drop really changes everything.? Remember the first time you heard Wolfgang Gartner‘s “Fifth Symphony” and how quickly it became a buzz track.? “Red Alert” could possible go viral for that same reason.? Yes, a lot of the rest track may seem right out of DJs from Mars “Phat Ass Drop” instruction manual (i.e. the “motherf*king drop” vocal bit, and the rote buildups) – the inclusion of classical musical elements makes everything seem fresh, different, and stand out a bit. DJs can pick up the free download by liking their Facebook page.? Their forthcoming single “Sweat” is worth taking a listen to as well.

SONG OF THE DAY: Max Vangeli & Danny Ray – “Grim”

Surprise is a good thing. The new track from Max Vangeli and Danny Ray starts off with banging electro with hints of classic techno and industrial. After the second build, the drop goes to silence and you start hearing elven chants forewarning something evil is coming. It sounds like the soundtrack to a horror film’s climax. All of a sudden, the dubstep beat slams you in the face, making the perfect backing for increasingly menacing chants. Completely unexpected, here’s a track for DJs that want to surprise their crowds with something a little different. It’s also a great one to keep in your crates for halloween.
