Mats Mattara feat. Rockman - Opera

Here's a very interesting post I think. The last days there are some videos that buzzing the music sites. These videos shows Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso and Laidbcak Luke playing a mysterious opera house track. Yes, you heard right, opera house! The sound of the track is progressive with bigroom synths and some weird opera vocals. Well, actually the videos are FAKE (the DJs confirmed it) and of course the track is not the new Swedish House Mafia single. Because of the sound, many people from the first time thought that it's the next SHM single, then Laidback Luke's video appeard with another version of the track and some others believed that it's LBL's remix. To clear it up, this song is called 'Opera' and it's from an Italian DJ and producer, Stefano Mats Mattara feautirung the vocals by Rockman. Whoever made these videos clearly was trying for some feedback, because it's huge thing when SHM is playing a song! We don't know the responsible person, who did this stupid thing, but this is a big lesson for all of you! Don't believe anything you read on the internet, make a research and don't be naive! :) Anyway 'Opera' was released a few days ago on Move Club Records and you can check it on junodowload. Ripoff of 'One' or whatever, listen and judge by yourself!

Leave The World Behind (Christos Fourkis & djSaint Remix)

I don't believe that there is someone who don't know 'Leave The World Behind'. I'm telling it all the time, this track is an anthem and it will be after years too. The swedish trio Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso & Steve Angello teamed up back in 2009 with the dutchman Laidback Luke to create a real bomb featuring the famous vocals by Deborah Cox. Two fellow guys from my country, Greece, Christos Fourkis and djSaint (Kostas Daskalakis) made a very 2011 version of the song. It's in a totally different way, more deep, melodic and chill. I really love it and for this remix you can understand how amazing voice Deborah Cox has. I highly recommend it.

The tracklist is available to download it from here.

Also I got Laidback Luke's Bootleg Pack for 2010 with twelve really nice bootlegs/mashups/edits by himself from his twitter. Two of them are my favourites, the first one is an edit of pop's king, Michael Jackson and his hit song 'Beat It'. We all miss you Michael, rest in peace! The last one is another edit by LBL of Tommie Sunshine's single '5AM (A Girl Like You)'. LBL insists it's a tribute to French-touch legends the Buffalo Bunch. He takes us back to Buffalo Bunch days withthis large edit.

Nouveau Yorican - Chiuso

Nouveau Yorican is a project formed of Gina Turner and Laidback Luke. It is the duo’s modern interpretation of Latin-inspired New York house. Mixing the vibes of the past Dutch & New York underground scenes with current dancefloor sensibilities, this latest track finds that elusive spark of magic that elevates a merely good track to the upper echelons of class.

'Chiuso' embeds its simple, yet devastatingly effective hook deep into your consciousness while it’s techy, driving beats and relentless groove urge you to the dancefloor with irresistible force. Destined for legendary club status, this should only be avoided if you have a severe allergy to true house music anthems.

'Chiuso' is an EXCLUSIVE to Daft Sound, it was released today 8/11/2010 through Defected Records and you can buy it on defected.
