Winter Fantasy Drop: Showtek ready the launch of Skint Records; Nom De Strip releases 'I Can't Believe'
The third annual Winter Fantasy is right around the corner bringing world renowned talent to the State Farm Arena in Hidalgo, TX on Monday, December 30th. Tickets for this year’s winter wonderland featuring deadmau5 (unhooked) are available online, buy your tickets today!
For today’s Winter Fantasy Drop, we’ve got Showtek launching a new label and Nom De Strip giving the world some new music.
Showtek ready the launch of Skint Records
Showtek have had an amazing 2013. Their latest single “Booyah” with We Are Loud and Sonny Wilson, has been a worldwide success climbing up the charts in the UK and South Africa; and the boys followed up with an Essential Mix back in November. But the Dutch duo are not the ones to rest on their laurels.
Closing out the year with a bang, the brothers have announced the launch of their next project Skink Records. Drawing its name from a species of lizard, the imprint will be just like its reptilian inspiration. With its elusive and hard-to-pin-down nature, the skink is a survivor, making it the perfect mascot for Showtek’s continuing musical evolution. The Dutch producers will officially launch the label to the world with their forthcoming single “We Like To Party” out on December 30th.
You can expect plenty more music from Showtek and a selection of other artists in the new year.
Nom De Strip releases ‘I Can’t Believe’
With the dust not even settled from his latest collaboration with Congorock in “Minerals,” the ever eclectic Nom De Strip returns to Chris Lake’s Rising Music for the first time since summer anthem “Devil’s BBQ” alongside Nezza.
First premiered back in September when Chris Lake and TJR took over Diplo and Friends on BBC 1Xtra, “I Can’t Believe” is another stellar track to add to Nom’s discography. Packing in the energy, “I Can’t Believe” is a dance floor ready electro house tune. Equipped with intense high pitched synths, the gritty, ominous vocals guide you throughout track. With a bass line that just won’t quit, “I Cant Believe” just solidifies Nom’s reputation as a genre-blending artist and will fit into any high-energy set.
Grab the release today – we’re sure you’ll hear this track when Nom De Strip heads to Hidalgo for Winter Fantasy.

The Gift Drop: NERVO, R3hab, and Ummet Ozcan premiere music video for 'Revolution'; Nerd Rage drops 'Horns Up' EP
The Gift featuring deadmau5 (unhooked) is right around the corner and will soon take over Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium next week on Thursday, December 26th.
For today’s Gift Drop, the revolution will be televised with one of our duos and recent lineup addition releasing a killer EP.
Tickets for The Gift are still available online so grab your tickets today!
NERVO, R3hab, and Ummet Ozcan premiere music video for ‘Revolution’
Hot of the heels of their world wide smash hit “Revolution,” The Gift duo NERVO alongside R3hab and Ummet Ozcan are keeping the momentum with some visual stimulation.
Back in November, the Aussie sisters had an open casting call in Los Angeles looking for 10 and 15 fans to be extras in the music video. Premiering on Dancing Astronaut, the official music video for “Revolution” is a great accompaniment to the Beatport chart-topping hit. The selected fans joined the four artists in a desert showdown between some hologram infantrymen. By the end of the video, you’ll definitely want to start a revolution.
Nerd Rage drops Horns Up EP on Subhuman
Nerd Rage has had a very eventful year turning out originals and remixes left and right with tracks like “Power Treaty” and OCTiV’s “Fatality.” So it comes as no surprise that he would close out 2013 with a bang – or some bangers.
Out on the Subhuman imprint, Nerd Rage released two high energy tracks on the Horns Up EP. The title track “Horns Up (The Movement)” is relentless often changing between drumstep and drum and bass. Ridden with rock and metal influences, “Horns Up” needs to be played loud. The second track “Yeah Right” switches the tempo to 128 BPM but never relinquishes any intensity. With bleeps and 8-bits soaked in the in-your-face tune, this song does not disappoint.
Grab the Horns Up EP today – we bet you’ll hear it when Nerd Rage performs at The Gift.

Day After Drop: Dannic climbs Beatport charts with 'Beam' remix; Sidney Samson releases 'Make The Club Go Like' with Alvita
We’ve still have weeks left on our countdown so that means we have plenty of time to stay up-to-date with our amazing Day After Festival lineup before they make their way to Panamá City, Panamá on January 10-12th. For today’s Day After Drop, we’ve got two releases of our talents that are hot and fresh off the press!
Buy your tickets today and be a part of the celebration!
Dannic climbs Beatport charts with ‘Mako’ remix
Though relatively new on the scene, Dannic is making up for lost time by releasing some stellar productions as of late. On his latest remix efforts, the Day After Festival talent returned to his Revealed Recordings family and released a take on Los Angeles duo Mako’s “Beam.”
Dannic turns the original vocal nature of the track into a progressive dance floor banger. From start to finish, you feel the high-spirited vibe of “Beam.” The vocals pairs nicely with the big room strings that the Dutchman weaves in and around the track. “Beam” is undoubtedly festival-ready and comes equipped with a hard drop that is sure to get crowds moving.
We aren’t the only ones who are fans of Dannic’s transformation on “Beam.” The track has been climbing up Beatport’s main chart ever since it was released December 2nd and now sits at #2. Grab the track today and let’s get it to #1.

Sidney Samson releases ‘Make The Club Go Like’ with Alvita
Sidney Samson has been a mainstay in house music for quite some time now. “Make The Club Go Like” is the newest electro offering from the talent and for this release, he’s teamed up with Alvita.
Originally premiered on Hardwell’s On Air radio show, “Make The Club Go Like” in a phrase, this track is crazy insane. The build incorporates some piercing bass pads that lie on top of relentless snares. With a windup that lasts for a full minute, the two certainly have no problem with taking their time to tease the audience. And the grime on the bass line is just offensive.
Out on Sidney’s Rock The Houze imprint, “Make The Club Go Like” will have The Day After Festival go like…
