Don Diablo & Matt Nash – Starlight (Could You Be Mine)
Axtone welcomes new names into to their family in Don Diablo and Matt Nash with ‘Starlight (Could You Be Mine)’. Dutch DJ/producer Don Diablo has firmly established himself in the electronic community driven by collaborations with artists such as Diplo, Example, Dragonette and Noisia and most recently on the first single from his debut album, ‘Give It All’ featuring Alex Clare and Kelis. At just 22, UK artist Matt Nash is no slouch himself, having releases on Revealed, Spinnin, Zouk and Diffused along the way remixing Foster the People, David Guetta, Avicii, Dirty South and Thomas Gold.
The now London based set of producers have come together to create the standout track for this summer. Eschewing the current dancefloor trends ‘Starlight’ combines vocoder vocals, a French inspired synth break topped off with a devastating bassline. Debuted by Swedish House Mafia on their farewell ‘One Last Tour’ ‘Starlight (Could You Be Mine)’ was revealed by none other than Don himself via his personal blog saving the online community any digging. Additional early adopters for this record have been no less than Nicky Romero, Tiesto Sebastian Ingrosso, Thomas Gold, Tommy Trash, Avicii alongside Radio 1 support from Danny Howard & the legendary Pete Tong. The extended mix of ‘Starlight (Could You Be Mine)’ is out now on Beatport with rumours of an Otto Knows remix to be released later in the summer.

Hard Rock Sofa – Rasputin (Original Mix)
Having already come up with three incredible releases on the label over the past couple of years, Russian duo Hard Rock Sofa return to Axtone Records for their four tryst with ‘Rasputin’ which serves as homage to the late Russian mystic Grigori Rasputin.
Rich in pulsating bass and raw energy that the Russian duo have become synonymous with, ‘Rasputin’ sheds further light on Hard Rock Sofa’s uncanny ability to produce tracks which go on to become festival favourites and get played by some of the biggest DJ’s on the planet.
The track follows in the footsteps of ‘Wakanda’ and marks yet another fantastic release for Axtone from the heavier side of dance music.
Hard Rock Sofa – Rasputin (Preview)
The Russian duo “Hard Rock Sofa” make their way back to Axwell‘s label – Axtone Records and they seem to be back with a stellar track called “Rasputin”. The title takes inspiration from one of Russia’s most infamous historical figures – Grigori Rasputin, but it’s fair to say Hard Rock Sofa have somewhat of a different agenda to the ‘black monk’, one involving spreading their unique take on house music worldwide.
‘Rasputin‘ is another tailor made track for global dance floors, with industrial beats combined with a turbo charged break and subtle sample, this track has all the hallmarks of what we’ve come to know and love from this duo. This catchy and stomping track is already getting played by the likes of Swedish House Mafia in their #OneLastTour, premiering it in their Sydney show, this track is already making festival crowds rave and it will continue to do that in the summer of 2013. To be out on Beatport : 11th March and on iTunes & all other stores : 25th March.
