In their latest tribute, Vinyl Life remakes the Techno Classic “Energy Flash” by Brooklyn’s own Joey Beltram with new lyrics by Phaze Future. This was made from the ground-up with no samples. The band-made video, however, is all sampled clips that are jacked from youtube. Take a trip back in time with us to the warehouse days.

If you’d like to download the track, guess what, we’ve got a high quality mp3 completely FREE for you from the boys themselves! Hit us up after the jump and get yourself a copy!

Daniel’s been featured on our site a handful of times, and his sheer ability to make club friendly trance tunes is obvious to anybody’s who has the chance to listen to radio shows or livesets from some of the world’s top jocks over the past year. Straight from the horse’s mouth:

I made this track for the people who supported me this year. This year has been amazing and I achieved many things, like Trance Energy next year for example. I couldn’t do this without all the votes and support. That’s why I made “Daniel Wanrooy – Dream with me”, the title is because my dreams came true this year. I am giving this track away with Christmas on my new website, Myspace and Facebook. The track is already played by Armin van Buuren in ASOT and Markus Schulz in GDJB.

Head on over after the break for a direct download link to the entire track in it’s 320kbps glory!  Merry Christmas to all!!!!

is something missing on this record?

This remix, a remix of Here Come the Drums by Dr. Willis & Mark Sherry, was sadly not considered ‘good enough’ for the label’s release.  Though I loved the original, I don’t understand how adding Paul’s sound to it could possibly have made it any worse in the label’s eye.  Shame on you Detox, that was truly a mistake.

Regardless, thanks to Detox’ mistake, we get to enjoy a free download from Paul, even though it is 2 years overdue.  Read on past the jump for your direct download link and be sure to tell Paul you’re glad he posted this remix for you to enjoy.  Leave him a kind word or two in the comments, he deserves that much!

FREE 16 TRACK ALBUM!

This free album landed in my inbox a few weeks ago, and after giving it a few listens, I couldn’t help but find my inner dancing transcending my inner self and manifesting itself in my legs and head.  It’s definitely on the simple side of house music, but what it might lack in complexity it makes up for in the fun department.

The tracks are funky, deep and bouncy.  They remind me old school house music, when times were simpler and dancing was infectious.  Check out some samples after the jump and be sure to grab yourself the entire album in 320kbps!
