Hard Rock Sofa, Matisse & Sadko, Swanky Tunes - Chemistry (Turn The Flame Higher) (Original Mix)

Wow, Sherman and I have been waiting for this collaboration for a very long time. Hard Rock Sofa and Swanky Tunes have come to be a regular pairing but the two Russian groups were joined this time by another Russian group, and another S2L favorite, in Matisse & Sadko. If I'm not mistaken, that means that there were seven different Russians involved in the production of "Chemistry." The song itself is a good, high energy progressive house track, although I must admit I may have expected too much from this long awaited Russian house collaboration. All we need now is for Arty to remix this and we might have the most Russian EDM song in existence.

Cosmic Gate Feat. Emma Hewitt - Calm Down (Omnia Remix)

"Calm Down" is a recently released single off Cosmic Gate's album from last year, Wake Your Mind. The original mix is a beautiful vocal trance track featuring the voice of Emma Hewitt, which I love. However, Omnia does an amazing job here turning it into a more hard hitting trance remix with their signature sounds.

Matt Bukovski - Blissful Time (Original Mix)

I have heard a few remixes of Matt Bukovski's productions, but other than that he hasn't been a recurring name in EDM. However, his new track "Blissful Time" is a solid progressive trance production. It might be that I have been massively biased towards progressive lately (if you couldn't tell from S2L Mix #12), but either way I really enjoy "Blissful Time" and I'll be sure to pay more attention to Matt Bukovski in the future.

Orjan Nilsen - Burana (Original Mix)

This has to be one of my favourite tracks off Armin's Universal Religion Chapter 6 compilation. Orjan Nilsen goes back to his classic trance style with "Burana" and this tune has been played on many different radio podcasts recently. Hope you like it!

Andy Moor Feat. Sue Mclaren - Trespass (Antillas & Dankann Club Mix)

Antillas is back from his recent remix of Dankann's "Unika," and this time the two are producing together again. Antillas and Dankann added some much needed edginess to Andy Moor's latest track "Trespass". Sue Mclaren's vocals are great as always but the original mix felt like it needed a little something extra.However, be sure to check out this remix as well as the original mix to see which one you prefer.

Seven Lions ft. Fiora - Days to Come // Paul van Dyk ft. Plumb - I Don't Deserve You (Seven Lions Remix)

We at S2L aren't the biggest fans of dubstep. However, there is a huge exception to that statement in Seven Lions. After numerous fantastic releases, Seven Lions is quickly making a name for himself in both the trance and dubstep communities alike. "Days to Come" was just released a few days ago on a new Seven Lions mini-album and is a fantastic track followed by some great vocals from Fiora. However, of these two songs, "I Don't Deserve You" is definitely the better of the two. Seven Lions has managed to perfect the dubstep remix of trance songs with his ability to enhance, not blast away all the intricacies that make us love trance so much. No matter what types of EDM you like, keep an eye on Seven Lions.
