Review: Trickster by Grube & Hovsepian plus Avalon Ticket Giveaway

Contests, Music, News, , , , , , , , , ,

The time has finally come for a track to be released that we’ve been hearing in live sets for nearly six months. “Trickster” by Tim Grube & Mike Hovsepian is now available on on Beatport under Coldharbour Recordings and can be purchased here http://bit.ly/tricksterbp. It is also available on iTunes http://bit.ly/13BDlyO. The track was debuted to the world on March 1, 2013 at A State of Trance 600 San Paulo by Markus Schulz as an ID and quickly had everyone wondering which Coldharbour name had produced the massive track.

“Trickster” has been getting played in just about every Markus Schulz live set because it’s by his Coldharbour pals but also because of its unicorn slaying aggressiveness that is perfect for a peak time set. The track was also played during A State of Trance 626 by Armin van Buuren.

Continue reading for your chance below to win a pair of tickets to the Coldharbour Night at Avalon on August 24, 2013 along with some Coldharbour merchandise.

TRICKSTER-SCHULZARMY

Grube & HovsepianThe magic in “Trickster” is after the first build up as it breaks down and a snare drum sound takes over in the background and it continues to build again and will have hands in the air on the dance floors moving fingers to the beat. This is a song produced for peak time sets regardless of the size of the crowd. Any DJ who takes their time warming up a crowd can easily use this as one of those songs to take a night to that next level with a full dance floor.

Grube & Hovsepian have showed their versatility this summer with two big tracks, this dance floor styled “Trickster” and the more radio friendly “Memory Lane” featuring Vice that was released earlier this summer (read our review here).

For those looking for a more progressive style of music you will not want to miss the “Trickster” remix by Italian producer Gai Barone. You’ll hear familiar elements of the original production of “Trickster” but Gai Barone did what a great producer can do, come close to creating an almost completely different track. The Grube & Hovsepian original will have a dance floor stomping their feet while the progressive and melodic Gai Barone remix will have a crowd in a trance early in the morning. The Gai Barone remix debuted on the August 8, 2013 edition of the Global DJ Broadcast and was voted the Global Selection of the episode. The progressive style of the track is a perfect fit for the Ibiza Summer Session episodes of GDJB.

New Release: Memory Lane by Grube & Hovsepian featuring Vice

Music, News, , , , , , ,

The most recent release out of Southern Florida today is “Memory Lane” featuring Vice by Grube & Hovsepian on Audio Cargo Recordings. Audio Cargo Recordings is is the first record label from The Schulz Music Group. In the press release about Audio Cargo they state, “The Schulz Music Group is proud to announce the lift-off of their first record label. SMG’s new imprint will afford the artist collective – as well as other vocalists and producers, a dedicated radio-angled music release platform.”

Tim Grube and Mike Hovsepian partnered with vocalist Vice to produce Memory Lane and it’s a track that Schulz Army members have likely heard before on Grube & Hovsepian Radio or an episode of Global DJ Broadcast. The original version of the track starts with a great beat as the vocals begin and progresses into more of a bouncy sound as you sing along “I’m walking down, I’m walking down memory lane.” The catchy and repetitive vocals are what make this track angled towards getting played on a radio station.

Depending on your tastes in music the real magic could be in the remixes which there are three of. Skytech delivers the beat that would fit perfect during a peak time set with some great energy as it builds up to the vocals that will have a spot in our memories when heard from the dance floor. That Skytech remix is what most have probably heard before end enjoyed. Elevation has two variations with a remix and a dub mix. The dub mix takes all of the vocals out of the track if that’s what you’re looking for and the remix focuses more on the vocals early on in the track before progressing into the beat behind it.

There’s probably a purist out there who’ll cringe reading “radio-angled music release platform” but we all need to admit that it’s a massive market for music and a great gateway towards those late night sets many of us enjoy. Do not be alarmed when you hear one of these tracks on your local radio station, it’s a great sign for dance music to have found a way into those playlists. Audio Cargo Recordings will certainly open up a new path for Schulz Music Group vocalists and producers to reach a new audience and expand their range of recordings.

The track will be available on Beatport and iTunes.
