THROWBACK THURSDAY: Tiesto & DJ Punish - Shocker (Original Mix)

This is a classic example of a progressive house song. I believe Guru showcased this one about a year ago, but I feel like it deserves to be brushed off and brought back to your senses for eargasmic listening pleasure. Like all great progressive house songs, there is a steady build in perceived tempo, booming bass, fantastic synths, and a massive drop. I mean, at this point it's essentially a formula, but textbook precision isn't always possible. Here it is though. Fantastic song. Check it out and DL below.

Trademark - Stay Free (3LAU x Ke$ha, Afrojack & Tiesto x Naian)

Hot damn. I wish there was a legitimate radio station for house music, not just pop bullshit. This is the kind of song that brings me joy to discover. I love when progressive house mashups just seem so smooth and like they should have been an original single. Listening to this just makes me feel happy. Side note, I hate Ke$ha, but any house song that samples Timber for the most part is straight fire. Check it out and DL it below.

Tiesto ft. Matthew Koma - Wasted (Ummet Ozcan Remix)(Music Video)

Might I just say... WOW. Oh. And also, sorry for the wait. Packing my life up and moving 500 miles back to the good old North took some time. Exams. Etc. Screw you guys, my life is hard. Anyway, WOW.

I'm sure most, if not all of you are familiar with the original track to "Wasted." It's great, and is probably one of my favorite tracks released in the last 6 months. This remix though, it's not half bad either. The music video makes me sure of it. Check out the video and track, above and below respectively.

Tiesto - Wasted (feat. Matthew Koma)

Well, isn't this the song for me. I like me better when I'm wasted, I like life better when I'm wasted. Where do I even start with this song? Probably going to be the anthem for the summer. It's got all of the ingredients to be a hit. Tiesto on the beat, Matthew Koma on the vocals, and it's a party song. I love it. Nothing says summer here I come like getting wasted and jamming out to some house music. Cheers, to good music.

Tiesto - Red Lights (twoloud Remix)

I'm dreaming of Spring Break this year. As are we all. Even though I won't make it to a beach this year, even though I won't sink my toes into the sand, and crack a cold one watching the sun rise over the ocean, I'm going to post songs as if I was prepping myself to do exactly that. Now that the polar vortex is mostly finished, and temperatures are starting to creep back above the 40's (or negatives depending on where you live), I'll be posting more and more spring break type of songs and mixes.

This is as good of a spring break house track as any. It's just a feel good song. "We could just run them red lights..." is exactly the type of lyric that makes me really just wanna sporadically drive to a beach, and run every red light along the way. Oh, Panama City, the haven of alcoholics, how I miss thee. Track and DL link below.
