Hollidayrain's Mile-High Uplifter #2: Cold Blue

Hollidayrain here again with another awesome uplifter. This time, it's a perfect track for winter time from German Cold Blue. After a long night of homework the other week, I was walking home from campus and started listening to this track. Small snowflakes started drifting down on the empty streets, and the only thing disturbing the peace was an occasional passing car. And boy did the smooth uplifting melodies of this track and the deep bass suit this scene perfectly! When I got home, it was exactly midnight, and when I checked the temperature, it was exactly 30 degrees. Doesn't get more perfect than that, does it?

Hollidayrain's Mile-High Uplifter #1: Mat Zo

Hollidayrain here with the first of hopefully many posts on the Press Play blog. I'm going to be focusing almost exclusively on progressive/melody-driven electronic music in hope that I can do my part in making it an even bigger part of the Boulder electronic music scene.

A common misconception that I've noticed people have about progressive tracks is that they don't have huge drops or bangin' basslines that will make you completely lose control. WRONGGGGGG! To show you what I mean, here's an Anjunabeast....errr....Anjunabeats release from earlier in 2010 from an absolutely brilliant British prodigy named Matan Zohar, aka Mat Zo. This dude was born in 1990, and he's been cranking out amazing tracks and remixes professionally since the release of his Tiesto - Driving to Heaven (Mat Zo Remix) in 2006.

In the following track, he remixes a piano-driven track by Reeves (aka Andy DuGuid) called Call of Loneliness. Take a listen to this monster:



Keep a look out for this guy! He's already one of the youngest members of the DJ mag top 100 (#66), and has hinted at an artist album in the near future.
