Digitally Enchanced Vol. 5 – Mixed by Will Holland
The annual update of the critically acclaimed Digitally Enhanced series has now cemented itself as a highlight of the year for trance fans around the globe. As ever, Volume Five contains two discs of exclusive, unreleased material from ‘arguably the most consistent trance label on the planet’ (DJ Mag), and is mixed by the man at the helm of the label group, Will Holland.
Disc One continues its focus on the more progressive releases, opening up with the huge new single from Will Holland & Jeza, remixed by Beat Service. The disc builds through new originals from the likes of label favourites Audien, Norin & Rad and The Madison, whilst new vocal offerings are delivered by Estiva & Tania Zygar, Exostate, Ignas feat. Julie Thompson, Tritonal and C-Systems. Further highlights are delivered by new originals from Juventa, Beat Service and Falcon, and top drawer remixes from Estiva, Rafaël Frost, Maor Levi, Norin & Rad and Mike Shiver.
Following suit on the past volumes, Disc Two increases the BPM and opens with the epic Karanda Intro Mix of Fast Distance’s ‘Alpine,’ and progresses through new originals from Audien, Alan Morris & Sequentia and Store N Forward. Further fresh-from-the-studio tracks come from the likes of Vast Vision & Fisher, Daniel Kandi, Suncatcher, Juventa & Answer42, Stonevalley feat. Shannon Hurley, Ost & Meyer and Sequentia & Jaco. Hot remixes by Temple One and Johan Malmgren, and a huge new version of Tritonal’s “Still With Me” by Suncatcher continue to deliver the memorable moments throughout the disc.
With 29 fresh tracks from ‘the label that delivers tune, after tune’ (Mixmag) Digitally Enhanced Volume Five is another essential instalment in this must have series.

Kaskade & SHM Live Sets Coachella 2012
Coachella weekend numero uno was a raging success, as the masses moved to the music safely. People from all over the globe travelled down to palm springs CA to attend what is sure to be one the best 3 days of 2012; why can’t all festivals be like this?
Since not everyone was able to attend, I’ve got 2 of the top sets from the weekend by 2 of the biggest names that spun for the crowds: Kaskade & Swedish House Mafia. The only downside to either of their sets was that it was 45 degrees with heavy wind and rain for SHM’s performance, but you can’t hear that through your speakers. So enjoy these two for now, and be on the look out for my personal favorites of the weekend that, if I can find copies of, will shared shortly. Cheers

Energy 2012 – The Album
Now established as the first key tent-pole event of the new EDM year, ID&T’s Energy is clued-up clubbers first encounter with the sound-designs that Europe’s electronic dance top-tier are going to be sending their way throughout the coming year. The best of the world’s top-tier producers. The most cutting-edge remixologists. The newest, hottest studio stars of tomorrow. They’re all gathered, they’re all here… for Energy 2012 – The ALBUM!
Before WMC, before UMF, before the White Isle or the summer month’s festivalism, right here is where the starting gun sounds! The titanic Utrecht-based Energy event is the launch pad for each new beats/bass/synth-packed EMD year,
With their finely-tuned lone-range radars scanning studios near daily, ID&T & High Contrast sign the tracks that capture the essence of the event straight off the mixing desks. Their track-packed 2012 edition has sourced music from heavyweight operators like Tiesto, Fedde Le Grand, John Dahlback, Marco V, and Marcel Woods, as well as nu-skool heroes including Hardwell, Dada Life, Jochen Miller, Chris Lake, and Funkagenda. It also selects white-hot sonics from the prospecting superstars of tomorrow, Nicky Romero, Deniz Koyu, Manuel De La Mare being just three.
Every event of standing requires an official anthem and every mix-comp needs a big kick-off. This year Energy’s audio-emblem is served up by Hardwell, who following his runaway success over the last 12 months, springboards into 2012 with ‘Cobra.’ fulfilling all the requirements of the anthem mandate, it’s a huge, bass-powered, squelch ‘n’ distort fest, topped by a wickedly infectious ‘n’ irresistible organ mainline. Continuing to mine a rich seam of music, it’s followed by the marching drums of Denzal Parl‘s ‘Militia,’ Ted Nilsson‘s heart-pounder ‘Runaway’ and the big-room culture of Fedde Le Grand & Patric La Funk‘s ‘Autosave’ – all of which nitro-inject the mix. Hardcoding the event’s dance-DNA, you’ll also find Dahlback‘s high-wire tense ‘Feel It,’ ‘Work Hard, Play Hard,’ Tiesto‘s weekender-aimed anthem and Dada Life‘s deliciously looping (and loopy) ‘Cookies With A Smile’ all continue to flesh out the event’s ethos.
From its outset fisc 2 sets about securing Energy’s groove credentials and ensures those quotas are kept sky-high! Building more house rhythms into the mix are EDX’S ‘D.A.N.C.E.’, the warped bass of Chris Lake & Michael Woods’ ‘Domino’s and the big piano drop moment of Jerome Isma-Ae and Daniel Portman‘s ‘Flashing Lights.’ The mix’s midpoint lets loose the first-time collaboration of Marco V and Marcel Woods. The team behind ‘Scream’ team have watched a litany of DJs rally to their track’s cause, turning it into one of 2012′s first must-owns. As the disc reaches its conclusion, the nu-skool performs a takeover.
The electro-bounce of Joey Suki‘s ‘Zomp,’ Ostahnhof & Ugo Platana‘s ‘Evensong’ (in its drum-dramatic Michael Woods remix form) and the whooping uprush of Tim Mason album endgame ‘Anima’ collectively, conclusively seal Energy’s audio-ideology.
Every bit your gateway to spring’s arena season (and beyond), ID&T’s ‘Energy 2012 – The Album’ is a future-perfect vision of the pulse-quickening floor anthems coming our way this year.
Forward thinking dance denizens, buckle up and get your clubbing shoes on! It’s going to get a whole lot fiercer before it gets any calmer!
