SONG OF THE DAY: Markus Schulz ft Ana Diaz – “Nothing Without Me”

Another standout track from Marcus Schulz’ incredibly strong release ‘Scream,’ “Nothing Without Me” is a haunting tale of obsessed love gorgeously sung by Ana Diaz.? The track has a progressive-yet-pop feel which is suitably brooding and melodic with a dark beauty which foreshadows the story.? As strong as the song is, the track works just as well as an instrumental with pretty breakdowns crescendoing into powerful, thunderous explosions of energy. The extended mix will work on any mainstream club floor and the Antillas & Dankman, Beat Service, and Coldharbour mixes all go in different directions – electro, big room/stadium, and progressive.? The video translates the song as an obsessed fan moved to mental breakdown as it unwinds.? This is some dark source material, especially considering the video starts with the phrase “based on a true story.”

SONG OF THE DAY: Antillas & Blinders ft Jenson Vaughan – “Top of The World”

Italian duo Luca Moretti and Ricky Romanini produce under the guises of Triple X and Motivo, but are best known for their trance-edged work as Antillas.? Recently scoring a club hit with their cover of Plumb’s “Damaged,” after they remixed a different cover version by Plumer, the duo return with the uplifting progressive pop “Top of the World.”? A truly international project, they worked with Polish production duo Blinders and Canadian singer/songwriter Jenson Vaughan. The result is spiritually uplifting, with feel-good lyrics that don’t devolve into cheese over a production that rivals any of Swedish House Mafia’s recent efforts. The video, reminiscent of Faithless’ “Why Go,” tells the story of two unique individuals who find each other through music.? Ok, two hot nudists hook up when they find each other in the street.? Keeping with that international flavor, the female model is top-ranked Spanish beauty Sandra Falga, whom you may recognize from Esquire magazine.? Here’s one of those videos that could easily go viral and become another Gotye.
