The Bangin Beats’ Top 15 Tracks At Sunburn Goa, 2013

The seventh edition of the festival that sparked the dance music frenzy that’s swept the country by storm, saw some of the biggest names in the industry perform for gargantuan crowds. With acts like Afrojack, Shermanology, Andrew Rayel, Richard Durand, Axwell, Pete Tong, Markus Schulz and Mark Knight, just to name a few, treating people from all over the world to some of the finest music. We at the Bangin Beats decidede to put together a modest list of a few tracks that we feel left an impression on the crowd.

Come join us as we recollect some of the most massive tracks to have dropped at the festival.

1. Blasterjaxx – Fifteen (Hardwell Edit)

This epic sound with the iconic lyrics “Drop fifteen in the EDM scene” has become quite the anthem in terms of festivals all around the world. With the epic build up and devastatingly delicious drop, this is one that is sure to get everyone, anywhere dance like no one’s watching! Especially since it was dropped by Apster, Ummet Ozcan and Quintino!

2. DVBBS & Borgeous – Tsunami (Original Mix)

What started off as a Spinnin records’ anonymous ID has turned into one of the biggest big-room anthems of 2013. The stop after the build up, the threatening utterance of “Tsunami” and the demolishing wave of a stomp drop after, is something you just can’t ignore. What’s more there were tons of versions and remixes and mash ups with the track played by almost everyone at the festival over 3 days. What was most exciting was a mash up/remix that Andrew Rayel had dropped in his set.

3. Tiesto – Lethal Industry

One of Tiesto’s most loved trance hits got a lot of airtime at the festival, with acts like Arnej and Prok & Fitch squeezing the Arnej remake and the Hardwell remix into their sets. This one has found it’s way into our Bangin tracks list purely because it helps awaken memories of yesteryear. This track is bound to hold a special place in every dance music fans memory.

4. Miley Cyrus – Wrecking Ball (Afrojack Remix)

Only Mr.Jack can take a song like Miley Cyrus’ Wrecking Ball and jack it up to an extent where it sends a wave of ravers into a tizzy. Now couple that with one of the biggest stages in Asia, and imagine the kind of impact it would have on a crowd that scale on those huge speakers. What a remix, this!

5. Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike – Ocarina (Original Mix)

India got a taste of TomorrowWorld when Wolfpack dropped its official anthem. The uplifting synth work had everyone follow along with their hands in the air and fingers playing the tune! The fact that we could experience this epic production right on home soil, in India’s fitting answer to the global music festival phenomenon, had most of our hair stand on end.

6.  Tiesto Ft BT vs W&W – Lift Off Comes Again (W&W Mash Up)

This was one of the highlights of Arnej’s set. He had dropped this mash up and grabbed everyone by surprise. What first started as the unforgettable verse to Tiesto & BT’s immortal love ballad, slowly gave way to the menacing build up to W&W’s Lift Off! At the drop, the combination of both melodies was simply overwhelming and had the entire audience literally lose themselves in unison! That coupled with effects on stage, was really one that we could not easily forget.

7.  Eric Prydz  – Niton (Sigma Remix)

One of Eric Prydz most beautiful compilations was dropped in a completely new drum & bass avatar, by none other than Sound Avtar (no pun intended!) That familiar key work layered over a hardcore drum & bass beat, had everyone present at the Love Machine stage jump and dance around with oodles of energy.

8. New World Punx – Romper (Original Mix)

2 of the biggest names in dance music, Ferry Corsten and Markus Schulz, collectively form New World Punx. Their very first song, Romper was dropped during Markus Schulz dynamic set. The massive sound that formed a part of Markus Schulz set was definitely one that had everyone stomp their feet at the bridge. What’s more exciting is that both artists were at the same city, but playing at different venues!

What was regarded as one of the top sets at Sunburn, had this nifty little mash up squeezed in by Quintino. The amalgamation of so many hits into one beautiful product, was absolutely phenomenal and had every champagne/water soaked patron of Quintino’s set jump with joy at the drops and sing out loud at the verses!

10. Nirvana – Smells Like Teen Spirit

Wait, what? What on earth is a 90’s grunge track doing on an article about dance music, you ask? Well, this one caught us equally by surprise too! Dj Fresh at the Love Machine stage, somehow magically fit this in to his epic Bass Heavy set, and it was perfect!What’s more he asked everyone to sit down, and as he mixed in to the track, he got everyone to jump up and flip their marbles the moment that aggressively familiar guitar riff hit us!

11. Mark Knight  & Funkagenda Vs Rhythym Control – Man With The Red Face vs. Jack’s House (Acapella)

Toolroom head honcho, and super stellar DJ, Mr. Mark Knight, (who also happened to be our artist of the month last December) had dropped this oh-so-delicious mash up. The moment the unforgettable saxohphone to Man With The Red Face started, the entire crowd went gaga. And then, the infamous words from what is regarded as the song that kick started house music could be heard…..

“In the beginning, there was Jack, and Jack had a groove, And from this groove came the groove of all grooves”

12. W&W & Ummet Ozcan – The Code (Original Mix)

When the Turkish delight dropped the song that put him on the EDM map, the crowd went all kinds of crazy. Dancing like there was no tomorrow, it was nearly an Earthquake when the drop came about.

13. Pryda – F.A.T. (Original Mix)

It’s always epic when you blast any Pryda track on a speaker system. Naturally, you can imagine everyone’s delight when NO_ID dropped Pryda’s newest bad boy at the mainstage! It was one of the most delightful moments for house lovers at the festival. Such a beautiful composition by one of the biggest names in progressive house today, and a more than fitting end to NO_ID’s amazing set at the main stage.

14. Don Diablo & Matt Nash – Starlight (Could You Be Mine) (Original Mix)

Axwell started his set with this oh-so-delicious tune. It was slowed down at first to get everyone to sing along, and the gargantuan crowd went into a frenzy with their arms in the air singing it out loud. And then the beat kicked in!

15. Axwell & Sick Individuals ft. Taylr Renee Vs. Swedish House Mafia Vs. Daft Punk – I Am vs One More Time vs Save The World [Axwell Mashup]

The audience went into an ecstatic frenzy when this mash up came on. It’s got 2 of Axwell’s biggest hits, and to add to that, one of Daft Punk’s most loved releases. To add to that, the pyrotechnics and effects on the main stage left the crowd in a state of pure wonder and amazement at this splendid combination of such wonderful music.
