It’s been a while since I wrote an upload highlights post, so I figured it was time to share some goodies from this past week’s tracks…

(As usual you can click HERE to conveniently load all of these tracks as a playlist in our media player.)

1. Skin (Ben Coda’s Overcast Remix) – Ned Hobbs [Toes in the Sand Recordings] –> Of course, I have to start my list off by recommending a track from the Toes exclusive pre-release! This track is simply good stuff!

2. Skin (Original Mix) – Ned Hobbs [Toes in the Sand Recordings] –> I’m not sure which of the tracks on the Toes release is my favorite, so I’m putting them both in my list…in no particular order. You can’t go wrong with either one.

3. Mantle (Original Mix) – Greg Clifford [Shiva Records] –> Here’s another tight progressive number that caught my ear…

4. Just Funk Me Already (Original Mix) – Joshua Heath [Salted Digital] –> I have to confess that some labels immediately grab my attention in a way that others don’t. When I see a deep house release on Miguel Migs’ Salted label, my ears prick up. This is good stuff

5. Suitable for Vegetarians (Original Mix) – Greg Clifford [Shiva Records] –> Here’s another track from Greg Clifford on Shiva Records that got my attention. I’ll have to stay on the lookout for releases from this guys. This track has a progressive trancey feel; I’m diggin it.

6. Massification (Original Mix) – Gwith and Sean Godsall [Orbiter Music] –> Minimal anyone? This track has a sort of lull in it, but I really like the overall sound. Kind of subtle, but good stuff.

7. Coming Over to You (Original Mix) – Ronin [Plastic City] –> Here’s an irresistably smooth number for you…with hints of groove and soul.

8. Manimal (Original Mix) – Lsmile [Malatoid Records] –> Here’s a good track…a bit unconventional, but interesting.

9. Mr. Night (Original Mix) – Marco Sarto [Circlemusic] –> When did techno get so progressive? I don’t know, but I like it

10. Sunglasses on the Subway (Midex Remix) – Holosound [Citric Recordings] –> Here’s a fantastic little progressive number! …reminiscent of a Toes or Tilth release; very good stuff in my opinion.

Enjoy!

It’s been a while since I last wrote an upload highlights post, and I figured it was time. I randomly happened to be checking out our current Top 10 Download Chart, and the tunes really caught my ear….so (of course) I figured it was time to share

As usual, you can conveniently load all of the previews for these highlights as a playlist in our media player by clicking HERE. The list below reflects the RV Top 10 Downloads chart as of October 16, and I must say our customers have been downloading some good stuff.

1. Crappy Morning (Original Mix) – Faskil [FeralCode Records] –> FeralCode Records just doesn’t miss! This is a solid progressive release, drifty, melodic, and simply rock solid.

2. Life (Original Mix) – Opencloud [Proton Music] –> Proton plus Opencloud equals dope tuneage….What I find really interesting is that this track comes from our back catalog. I’m not sure why our how it got back on the charts, but it’s definitely a gem.

3. Disco de Janeiro (I Like This Mix) – Space Drums [LATINtronix] –> …nice piece of house with some Latin flair, clearly aimed at the dance floor.

4. April (Original Mix) – DP-6 [DP-6 Records] –> I’m definitely diggin this proggy number. It’s got a cool, mellowed out, contemplative vibe…good stuff.

5. Crappy Morning (FeralCode Mix) – Faskil [FeralCode Records] –> FeralCode adds his own interpretation of Faskil’s tight tune…definitely hot stuff!

6. Digital Space (Silence ‘O’ Phobia Remix) – Matias Chilano [PurpleCat Digital] –> This is a track I probably would not have picked out on my own…but since it’s in our top ten, I opened up and gave it a chance. It’s grown on me…it could have a place in a twisted progressive set.

7. Real Love (Terrence Parker Instrumental Mix) – Sinai [Parker MusicWorks] –> Very Nice! …just good ol’ fashioned house baby, a little soul, a little warmth…overall nice groove

8. Sands of Time (Mastercris Mix) – Nuno Rozz [Next Dimension Music] –> Great track here. We get a lot of releases from Next Dimension Music, and this one stands out above the rest.

9. Kavuki (Unreleased Mix) – Diogo Ribeiro [Progressive Grooves Records] –> I really like the Progressive Grooves Records label…yet another fine piece of craftsmenship from their release vault.

10. Burning for You (Hadi Burpee Remix) – Steve McGrath [Source of Gravity] –> We’ve been carrying Source of Gravity releases for a long time, and this track is another real pleaser. I haven’t heard of Hadi Burpee, but he’s on my radar now.

Enjoy!

Some of our customers may feel like the Resonant Vibes progressive catalogue fell off a bit in the early part of 2008. …and you know what…this is a blog, and Eddie B will shoot you straight…our progressive catalogue did fall off for a while (…although I should point out that our techno catalogue has grown stronger than ever). HOWEVER, let me be clear in saying that those days of slacking on the progressive catalogue are over. As you can see from the track recommendations below, we’re back baby

As usual, you can click HERE to load all of these track recommendations as a playlist in our media player.

1. Just Another Memory (Python Remix) – SATeN [Swordtail Records] <– This release from Swordtail Records is seriously on point. Nice, melodious, gelatinous prog from SATen, who certainly has a reputation for getting the job done.

2. Step Into the Light (Dark Mix) – His Boy Elroy [Proton Music] <– We went a while without having Proton’s tunes on our site, and I’m really glad they’re back. Great track here!

3. Hangdown Sorrow (Original Mix) – Logiztik Sounds [Proton Music] <– See previous comment …this track has a nice driving sound…it definitely takes you where you wanna go.

4. No Identity (Original Mix) – Bs As Deep [Progressive Grooves Records] <– More killer progressive sounds…this time from Progressive Grooves Records…this track fits right in the sweet spot for the progressive crowd.

5. Blue Room (Original Mix) – Chris Drifter [Plastic Fantastic] <– Plastic Fantastic seems to never miss the mark. This is a solid track from Chris Drifter.

6. Fast Life (Christian Fischer Remix) – Christian Fischer [Definition Records] <– This track is old, but it’s a MONSTER …you’ve got the Nancy Sinatra vocals from that song in the Kill Bill soundtrack…I think this would destroy a dance floor if you dropped it at the right time.

7. Twang (Groovy South Remix) – Hugo Cipres and Lucas Vidal [Tapas Recordings] <– This one starts out kinda tame and works its way into a veritable jam.

8. Elite (Original Mix) – Claudia Cazacu [Couture] <– I like the driving feel of this track. It’s got a good feel to it.

9. A Day That Fades (Inpetto Instrumental Edit) – Cosmic Gate feat Roxanne Emery [Black Hole Recordings] <– I’m super pleased to have Black Hole Recordings on our site. They continue to put out solid trance releases.

10. Outside the City (Dave Dk Remix) – Morgan Page [Sugarcane Recordings] <– I don’t know Dave Dk, but this is an impressive remix of Morgan Page’s "Outside the City."

Enjoy!

All right, I’m keeping you guys current on the goodies…

We had a serious influx of more varied content this week. For the past several months, our uplaods have somewhat dominated by techiness. This past week’s upload was well-rounded…which, of course, is not at all to say we left out the techy gems

As usual, you can load all of these track recommendations as a playlist in our media player by clicking HERE.

1. Ytaca (Manuel de la Mare’s Stealth Mix) – Alex Kenji [Hotfingers] <– Now this is what I’m talking about…it’s been a while since we uploaded a Manuel de la Mare track, and this one gets it done for me.

3. Fractures (WeKi Remix) – Deepchild [Beef Records] <– Who is WeKi? …this is a hot track…be sure to also check out the Soledad remix on this release…I almost recommended that as well.

4. Hardstick (Original Mix) – Remote [Kill the DJ] <– This track has an underlying roll to it that I like…and I’m diggin’ the way the beat comes back in after the breakdown.

5. So Deep Inside (Original Mix) – Pete Gust [Plastic City Play] <– Nothing wrong with a little warm, uplifting soul! This is a solid down-the-middle-of-the-fairway house track.

6. What a Feeling (Original Mix) – FREq [Iboga Records] <– I should’ve labeled this as progressive trance…ooops…I really like this track…beautiful melodic elements and a real punch to it….definitely takes you where you wanna go.

7. Exabequerel (Bjoern Stolpmann Remix) – Digital X [Fassade Digital] <– Wow! …this track is tight as hell…that rising sound in the background really gets good to me.

8. Whip Girl (Original Mix) – DJ Timeline [Live to Tape Recordings] <– This is some groovin’ decadent stuff…soft S&M vocals and an edgy feel that steer the dancefloor in a darker direction.

9. Routed (Original Mix) – Flutance [11 Hz Recordings] <– Good ol’ techno…told ya we didn’t leave it out…this track gets it done for me.

10. Nightly News (Karran and Porter Remix) – Holosound [Citric Recordings] <– I like this groove. I think it make a good track early in a set.

All right, it’s been a little while since my last upload highlights post, and we’ve definitely uploaded some goodies! These recommendations span various genres, and they’re all quality tracks.

As usual, you can load all of these tracks as a playlist in our media player by clicking HERE.

1. Space (Radio Slave’s Panorama Garage Remix) – Minilogue [Traum Schallplatten] <– Radio Slave is the man! I wrote a blog post earlier for one of his mixes. This track gets the job done.

2. Liquid Beats (Original Mix) – Soundstorm [Morphosis Records] <– Morphosis Records has emerged as one of our better labels. I’m really happy we have these guys on board, and this Liquid Beats release is rock solid.

3. Hunter (Original Mix) – Martin Buttrich [Cocoon Recordings] <– I know this track from somewhere….maybe I heard Sam drop it or maybe I heard it in a podcast…whatever the case, I’m definitely into it.

4. Poko Chick (Christian Fischer Remix) – Tattoo Detectives [Definitions Records] <– I must confess I’ve never heard of Christian Fischer, and I don’t know many of Definition Records’ releases…but I do know this track is buttertastic

5. Spiderpig (Original Mix) – Klangfrequenz [Beat Monkey Records] <– Ok, first of all, the reference to Homer’s "spiderpig" is funny stuff. (I haven’t seen the Simpson’s movie yet, but my girlfriend told me about that part.) …and of course, I’m also diggin’ the beat.

6. La Forza Del Destino (Radio Slave Remix) – Soylent Green [Playhouse] <– See comment #1 above regarding Radio Slave’s status as the Man. This cat plus Playhouse equals the uber dopeness.  ….seriously, if I didn’t work for Resonant Vibes, I’d buy this track!

7. I Can Do It (Bini and Martini Remix) – Tying Tiffany [Ocean Dark] <– I’m not sure why we have this one labeled "minimal"…it doesn’t seem too minimal to me…I guess I slipped up when I approved it…in any case, it’s tight.

8. Ptah (Masque Remix) – Smokin Circles [Segment Records] <– We’ve been stocking content from Segment Records for a long time now…this is just good stuff…a little somethin’ for our prog heads.

9. Genesis (Original Mix) – Photek [Basement] <– Ok…so all of our consistent blog readers should know by now that Eddie B has acquired the taste for intelligent drum and bass….I like this track.

10. Driving to Heaven (Mat Zo Remix) – Tisesto [Nebula] <– This track is great…smooth uplifting trance from a solid artist, Mat Zo…and Eddie B doesn’t care if you wanna call him "commercial" ….I don’t fear the dreaded "C" word…if it’s good stuff, it’s good stuff…and I’m not gonna overlook it just because it’s on a Tiesto album! …c’mon, you know you love it too!

Enjoy!
