Free Download: Paul Webster MP3!

is something missing on this record?

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!

Just another reason why this up and coming producer rocks.  Read on past the jump for the direct link download!

Since we reviewed Anhken’s latest release on Enhanced Recordings, I thought it would be fitting to provide our readers with a free remix he’s provided to us!  The track remixed is an original production by HiQ, and I wish I had some info on the artist.  Anyone?

The track is a slice of progressive trance that includes some sublime vocals in the midsection and its 100% balearic.  Check it out after the jump!

m_d9028a02cecd4a1a990861be965ab7e2We covered one of Invisible Sounds’ releases earlier in the year on Insatiable Records, and well, I’ve fallen in love with the master’s sound! Aaron’s been hunting for his latest works and he stumbled across two excellent free tracks!

The first is a bootleg remix of the theme to the video game Mirror’s Edge.  It’s progressive done at its best, and this young Russian producer re-inforces the latest Russian based progressive trance movement!

As a second treat we’ve got a completely brand new original piece of work by Igor, titled ‘Monte-Carlo’.  Read on past the break for direct download links and be sure to show Igor some love!

Freebie: Beyonce – Me, Myself & I (Laidback Luke Bootleg)

Posted by Andre on May 26 under Downloads, Tracks | Be the First to Comment | 81 views

In typical Laidback Luke fashion, he’s just remixed yet another mainstream song and given it the full laidback treatment.  Follwoing in his Notorious B.I.G. remix, this remix proves that otherwise tasteless talent can, under the best of circumstances, sound good.  (I’m not dissing Biggie here, just Beyonce…)

So check after the jump for the direct download of this stellar little bootie!
