Selectro Vol.2 And Its New 'Savage' Sound

-
Blog post by Coldbeat

 Recently I had the chance to put my eyes (and ears) on a new set of Electro House tracks from some fresh new talents from different places in the globe. 'Selectro Vol.2' came out 4 years after the Vol.1 but it was totally worth the wait.

With a massive support from test-makers DJs and radios all over the world, 'Selectro Vol.2' is a great step forward to the Coldwave Records team, let's see below the release description:

"Coldwave Records goes full force with the massive Electro House 5-track compilation entitled 'Selectro Vol.2'. 4 years after the Vol.1 release, Coldwave strikes with a ultimate crowd-pleaser. Firstly we have 'Machine City' by Andrew Khorolsky, a track with a Techy Electro beat with groovy rhythm and deep sound effects. Second we have 'Our Instincts', collaboration within Charlyfive & Visho, this track combines an emotional breakdown with a drop with a lot of energy, mixing melodic leads, nice synthesizers and a vocal chop. Track number 3, finding its origins in wild tribe fest percussions, 'Savage' has grown into a physical Electro House track, driven by powerful chords and trap-orientated sounds. Fourth in line we have Manuel Trujillo's take on 'Big Dream', originally by Rufhino, a track with a lot of power, excellent bass and EDM sound to boost the dance floor. And last but not least we have 'Level 14' by ToKeL, an explosive track made of powerful basses, drum pads and leading synths. 'Selectro Vol.2' is ready to blow up speakers, the perfect soundtrack for parties, dancefloors and festivals."
It's a great pleasure connect with great artists, from different places and with different styles, 2 of these artists I had the chance of having some further conversation and I had a better insight of their work. I asked them to write some text about them and how they came up with the track 'Savage', track number 3 of this dope compilation. Ladies and gentlemen, meet Hardnex and Muuglii, the 2 characters of our latest 'New Music' blog section:

"Italian jack-on-all-spade Hardnex and Russian/Lebanese young genius Muuglii teamed up to offer you the sound that will bang hard this fall: Savage! After meeting up in June 2015, the two creative minds, after spending a few months taming each other's music tastes, the idea of a collaboration came naturally. It’s with a Muuglii's draft that everything started: wild percussions, hard drums, and powerful sounds recalling Rambo's adventures. All that coupled with Hardnex's devotion to tough music constructions and Muuglii's talent for sound design gave, after 70 hours of work this hymn, progressive driven, but also floor-filling with hints of trap music, that make everyone go... Savage! 
Hardnex says:
‘Well, when Daniel (Muuglii) walked to me after a party I was hosting near our campus in June 2015, his first reaction was to ask “Is this dubstep ?” (he has got a slight obsession with dubstep and used to have issues to differentiate genres) talking about a Julian Calor track. He then started to ask me about my mashups and bootlegs and he admitted he was just beginning to use FL Studio. I gave him a few tips and that was it. But in September it appeared that we would be hanging together for a couple of courses, this is when we began to exchange tips and fresh music whenever we could meet! Around October, he showed me his first drafts, and the “Epic Woodsticks” definitely hooked me. During the production, even though he is relatively new to music, I discovered his talent and accuracy for sound design and his great knowledge of musical theory, which was definitely helpful compared to my rough understanding of all this. It is the first Original that I completely finish, and I hardly believe that it has given me an idea about whats after the construction: mixdown, mastering, communication… Such sides of producing I was not familiar with. I am definitely happy with what we both achieved by making and now releasing on Coldwave Records our track Savage, and I truly hope you will enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it.’
Muuglii says:
‘At the beginning, in October 2015, I created a simple project including a wood hit sample and a kick playing some notes in about 10 minutes. I entitled it “Epic Woodsticks” and sent it to Antonio (Hardnex), a friend of mine I met back in June 2015, to get some pieces of advice. The project has turned into a collaboration after Antonio’s response. To be honest, I wasn’t expecting this song to be finished, but the more we met and produced together, the more I could see the final result. Too, we acquired more and more production knowledge throughout the months and that we became familiar with a lot of new things. The sounds we were making became cleaner and tighter, the song's construction also became clearer for us. We were exchanging lots of tips. I really appreciated making this song with Antonio and I think wouldn’t have managed to finish Savage without his valuable help and his incredible motivation ! I really hope that you will enjoy Savage !’

 'Savage' by Hardnex and Muuglii was just released, November 11 exclusively on Beatport, and November 25 it will be available everywhere, alongside another 4 Electro House bangers, which you can listen and download from the following link:

I hope you enjoyed the post and the reading as much as I did, once again I have to say that it has been a great pleasure to work with those guys, and now, of course, without further ado, tune in with 'Savage':

5 Reasons You Should Never Buy SoundCloud Plays, Likes And Followers

Post originally from Omari MC . Buying SoundCloud plays has become a popular thing to do with aspiring artists, DJ's, and producers on the site. Everyone is in a mad dash to be heard, and sometimes they may even sink to the level of going unheard in order to make it look like they were heard. With this I mean that most of the services that offer SoundCloud plays use bots or fake plays in order to fulfill the requirements they tell artists they can give. Here's 5 reasons why it's a bad idea to buy off these services, and also what to do instead when you're trying to get more listeners. 1. HOW TO TELL WHEN THE PLAYS ARE FAKE There's a few ways to spot a fake service out. If they give a hard number of plays instead of a range (Fake) If they talk about them being 'safe' plays (Fake) If they guarantee likes, comments, and re-posts (Fake) Why are these fake indicators? Real promotion services usually give a range of plays that will be delivere...

Learn about Native Instruments exciting new music format, STEMS

Most informations were originally from a Symphonic Dist .'s e-mail and from the SymBlog . First, a personal note from me, Coldbeat. Coldbeat: "-I've recently been talking with a few artists about this subject, but it seems that most people don't have a full understanding on how STEMS work, and what are this new format of music file, hell.. I'm still not fully aware. But let's see what we know and what information we have so far. Most people will associate the word "STEMS" to remixes, right? Because those pieces you get from the Original Mixes, in order to reorganize them and make your own version of the song, those files are usually referred as STEMS. You're not wrong, those are the STEMS. But this new music format created by Native Instruments (I'm assuming) is quite different from those STEMS you're used to know from the remix packs and remix competitions. So, let's see what we know so far." About STEMS. Native Ins...
