PROMISE LAND RELEASES HIGHLY ANTICIPATED 'X-PRESS'

More than a week ago the artist behind the monstrous upcoming single, 'X-Press' was revealed, Italian duo Promise Land. 'X-Press' has groove written all over it. Though difficult to define under one genre, it combines progressive chords and synths with driving deep kicks, almost reminiscent of the Swedish House Mafia sound. The buildups create a lot of energy and then drop into a groovy house tune. The production highlights the subtle but hypnotic topline turning 'X-Press' into a dancefloor favorite. This original has surfaced for months now as an ID and has created a lot of attention so now that it’s being released, we urge you to go purchase your copy and rock out to the tune in it’s entirety!

Nazario Pelusi and Fabio Ranucci, aka Promise Land, have been absolutely crushing the dance music scene the last several years. They first gained notoriety in 2010 and 2011 from their official remixes of Flo Rida, Akon, Fedde Le Grand, Hardwell, and Chuckie. Since these remixes they’ve collaborated with Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Gregori Klosman, and Yves V and released their originals on Size Records, Mixmash, Flamingo, Smash The House, and in August 2013 made their debut on Spinnin’ Records with 'Rulez'. Even though they didn’t release much music in 2015, their latest single, 'Let The Groove' on Kryder’s Sosumi Records gained a lot of attention. They’ve performed at some of the world’s most prestigious dance music venues and festivals including Webster Hall, Zouk, CUBIC, Tomorrowland, and Creamfields. Keep your eye on them in 2016! 

'X-Press' is available today via DOORN Records. https://pro.beatport.com/release/x-press/1697966

twoloud & Cranksters work their magic on 'Work It'

Twoloud and Cranksters’ latest single, 'Work It' has club banger written all over it. The female vocals in the breakdown saying 'watch me when I work it' set the tone of this electro tune leading into a buildup filled with vocal chops. The vocal chops then lead into a driving kick throughout the drop. The kick mashes well with the groovy synths creating a beautiful combination of electro house music. This new single will rock the dance clubs in 2016 so put your dancing shoes on and get ready to work it!

Twoloud were on fire in 2015. They had releases on Size Records, Wall Recordings, Revealed Recordings, Skink Records, and Fly Eye Records to name a few. They also collaborated with Tiësto and Qulinez. They’ve had their own label, Playbox, for just over a year and it has been super successful featuring originals from the likes of Danny Avila, Kaaze, and David Puentez. Twoloud’s latest original, 'One More' reached over 500.000 plays on Soundcloud and YouTube. You can expect a lot more from this German duo in 2016.

The up-and-coming U.S. duo, Cranksters has been producing electro house bangers since 2012. Since then their remixes and originals have garnered continuous support from the likes of Porter Robinson, W&W, Deorro, Blasterjaxx, and now twoloud. 'Earthquake', their last original was released on twoloud’s compilation, Music Matters Vol. 2 at the end of 2015. A great way to end the year…and this collaboration will be a huge start for the duo.

Daddy’s Groove & Mindshake – 'WOW!' featuring Kris Kiss

The Italian duos of Daddy’s Groove and Mindshake team up with London-based singer/songwriter, Kris Kiss on the incredibly groovy, 'WOW!'.

'WOW!' combines Daddy’s Groove’s deep basslines with Mindshake’s wobbly, electro sounds turning this single into an Electro/Deep House masterpiece. Kris Kiss’ clubby vocals add a very unique spin onto the song, putting the icing on the cake. The buildup features steady snares, which progresses the song into a wobbly, drop. Genre bending is a great term for this one because it’s difficult to categorize. It has Miami vibes written all over it so when you’re walking out in the snow this winter, put this tune on to heat you up!

Daddy’s Groove have always been known for hopping genres, producing tunes from Deep and Electro House to Progressive House. Somehow they always seem to maintain a groovy vibe throughout each song, though. They’ve had multiple releases on Ultra Records such as 'Blackout', 'Pulse', and 'Black Sun', a single on Dim Mak, and a few on Spinnin’ and DOORN as well. Daddy’s Groove have collaborated with just about everyone: David Guetta, Axwell, NERVO, and Congorock to name a few. Their bi-weekly podcast 'Genesis' has come a long way since the first installment in 2012. In 2015 'Genesis' surpassed 100 episodes, which is a huge milestone for the Italian duo. Stay tuned to see what happens for Daddy’s Groove in 2016.

The other Italian duo, Mindshake are on the rise right now due to the success of their collaborations with Daddy’s Groove on 'Surrender' and 'Back' (a rework), and Congorock on 'Nok Nok'. They have now had two originals released through Ultra Records, the Daddy’s Groove rework via Spinnin’, and 'WOW!' will be their debut release on DOORN. It’s been almost a year since they’ve released any music as they’ve been gearing up for a big year in 2016. 'WOW!' looks to be a promising start for Mindshake so don’t turn away because they are only just beginning. 

Kris Kiss has been around the Hip Hop scene for a few years now after releasing his first mixtape, 'King of Hearts Volume 1' in early 2013. Similar to Example and Tinie Tempah his British accent is profound, which has served as a definite crowdpleaser. He made his dance music debut in May 2014 after being featured on Chocolate Puma’s hit, 'Step Back', which quickly amassed over 1 million views on Soundcloud and YouTube. Since then he has been featured on tracks from the likes of Chocolate Puma, Don Diablo, and Laidback Luke to name a few. 

'WOW!' is available now via DOORN Records.
