Pirupa – Snatch035 EP
The one and only Riva Staar is bringing his fellow Italian national Pirupa on his label “Snatch Records” for a special EP Snatch035!
This EP comprises of three tracks that are crossing over both the genres of regular house and tech house. The first track “Do it” has a very strong party flavor towards it. One can easily see this track getting the dance floor buzzing. Then we have “Everylife” that clearly is a super track for all tech house lovers. Perfect basslines are supported by the word “Everylife” being belted out again and again. Finally, we have the EP being finished up with the track “The Base” which comes across with a very mild tune towards it.
All in all, the EP shows the diversity behind the music of Pirupa as he is not only experimenting with new tunes but at the same challenging himself by making melodies that have never been tried before!
Skrillex – Leaving EP
Skrillex has uploaded a new 3 song EP, “Leaving” to his YouTube account. The surprise EP which has come out without any prior notice to fans was also made available via The Nest, Skrillex’s $12-monthly membership service on Drip.fm, but it seems the musician wanted his fans to have an even easier time getting to the new material.
In a statement on The Nest Skrillex said, “This is not about changing the music industry now, It’s about supporting great and forward thinking tools like drip.fm to connect us on a more personal level. The fact that we have a direct way to give you guys content without any of the red tape that the normal distribution mediums have makes it really easy fun for us and gives us a new platform to be creative and spontaneous.”
As for what’s on the EP, the Leaving EP sees the DJ Mag #10, Sonny Moore dipping his fingers into unorthodox music distribution channels. It contains “Scary Bolly Dub,” a song that’s been part of his DJ sets for some time, along with two new tracks that recently recorded on the road, according to Rolling Stone.
We at Bangin Beats further give you a track by track breakdown of the 3-track EP!
Up first the title track, “Leaving” is a downtempo song that was recorded in a Mexico City hotel room, and its ambient nature might have some people wondering where, exactly, the drop in the track lies. Could its muted tone, not to mention its title, mean that he’s written his post-Ellie Goulding-split dubstep breakup song? To this Sonny says, “I guess it’s just kind of a reflection of how I’m feeling right now,” he said of his new material.
Up next, “Scary Bolly Dub” has a nice bounce that makes for the introduction of the infectious melody (and a screech saying “Yes, oh my gosh!”) from “Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites” even more surprising.
Rounding up the EP is “The Reason”, the vocals for which were apparently finished an hour before Skrillex let the EP loose on the Internet and are clipped and stretched in a way that evokes the sadness which is proclaimed in “Leaving,” although they’re laid over a squelchy beat with more muscle than the title track.
All in all the EP is surely a great surprise new year gift for fans of Sonny across the planet and makes for some great listening from the man who has become synonymous with producing some great music over the last couple of years and generating a superb fan following. Keep surprises like these coming Sonny!
DANIEL PORTMAN – RADAR EP (UNRELEASED DIGITAL)
Daniel Portman was born and raised in the suburbs of Zurich, Switzerland. He fell in love with electronic music at a very young age. It was the late 90s, with all its ups and downs, when young Daniel started to test his musical abilities on an Akai 2000 sampler and an old sequencer.
Over the years Daniel’s sound has formed into a forward thinking and unique style of house music, which can be described as a mixture of progressive house and techno. But also with an ability to infuse cutting edge machine music with soulful grooves.
After a short break from releases during the European summer, Daniel Portman gets back on Unreleased Digital with a new 3 track EP, titled, “Radar”. Apparently, it was hard to pick a title for the EP as it was believed that all 3 tracks carried great potential to make it big out on the dancefloor’s. Finally in cooperation with Daniel, Unreleased Digital picked “Radar” to be the title track.
Starting off the first track on the EP, the title track, “Radar”, is a progressive house anthem that has a dark driven beat and a bass section which builds the basic structure of the track, some analog pads sweep up from time to time, leading into an euphoric pre-drop that further crashes down to a breakdown part with some pitch shifted vocals on top. Finally, the track goes on to a huge and unexpected drop.
Second track on the EP is called “Your’re Not Alone”. Some minimal & techno elements surround this track. 808 toms and distorted percussions build the melodies and add on’s, first only played as random single notes, but in the breakdowns filtering up as a full melody that will get stuck in your heads like glue instantly!
“Something In The Air”, the third and final track is another master piece that is maybe the most “Daniel Portman style” like track, that everybody expects from him on this EP. Swinging hi-hat pattern, a punchy kickdrum hammering through and some staccative synth stabs that get the track rolling. The breakdown holds a hypnotic melody that even makes it all go round when it drops after with some deep synth shots and gated vocal glitches.

DINKA – INSEPARABLE EP
Before I start to write about Dinka‘s new EP, “Inseparable”, I can’t help but mention how excited I’ve been about the release and I’m so glad it’s finally out !!
Taking over the industry with massive tracks Dinka as is said, can kick-start a broken heart sending fans on a musical journey unlike any other. Supported by the iconic legend, Tiësto to begin with, Dinka has created a massive stir with her recent EP’s on Unreleased Digital. The Swiss extraordinaire has been collaborating with vocalists on mind blowing tunes, seeing releases with Julie Thompson, Hadley & Danny Inzerillo and now Angelika Vee.
Join in as this amazing Producer/DJ takes you on an enthralling musical journey all over again, track by track!
“Inseparable (Original Mix)”, the first track on this amazing EP is yet another highlight on Unreleased Digital, Our favourite swiss goddess of progressive house, Dinka teams up with vocalist Angelika Vee from Los Angeles to bring out an incredible collaboration to create yet another massive anthem on the imprint. A feel good track with great energy and Angelika’s unique vocals. Powerful synth lines create a hypnotic ambiance in the main drops, as well as some filtered chords that support an undisputed huge breakdown section.
The club mix of “Inseparable”, which is the second track on the EP is drawn to be an even more uplifting peak time weapon. With a taste of rough square pads, a live recorded piano and blissful chord melodies this version recreates the feeling of the original mix in its own way but still fit perfectly with Angelika’s beautiful voice.
On the other side this EP holds a special present in the form of the last track on this wonderful EP. The story behind it is that as part of Dinka’s facebook interaction, which called her fans to mark and tag their country of origin on the world map. The most tagged country in this competition was Brazil, and so this track, the third and final one on the EP is dedicated to and named after the lovely South American country.
“Inseparable” is definitely an EP to keep!

John Dahlback – Panic EP
John Dahlbäck brought out his amazing new EP called, “Panic” today on Chris Lake‘s Rising Music Label and we at Bangin Beats give you a track by track review of the 2 track EP !
The first track on the EP is the title track, “Panic”. A solid track carrying in itself coarse leads and intense beats which play out particularly well. “Panic” is a club banger/dance floor filler for sure. Hit the play button now!
“What’s Up Now” which is the second track on the EP comes with some gritty instrumentals intelligently mixed with an super vocal line to round off an EP that furthers the widespread belief that the swede’s sound has never been confined to one solitary genre and never will be.
