For his latest release, Arty teamed up with Chris James, of Deadmau5′s “The Veldt” fame, to produce this solid trance track. Adding this to the recent “When I See You”, and it’s looking to be a good year for Arty…

★ Arty feat. Chris James – Together We Are ↓

It was a very good year for Russian trance wiz Arty, who performed for the first time stateside on New Years Eve last year, opening for my other favorite deej in an ultimate Pier 94 throwdown for my 10,000 best friends and I. After returning to my Nice List twice this past year, with just-as-amazing performances at Pacha NYC and a sold-out Governor’s Island, the king started up a crazy-good podcast. Well, Arty’s back for another New York New Years, this time at Pacha with fellow tranceman Sander van Doorn… headed for the EDM history books!

♬ Paul van Dyk feat. Arty – The Ocean (Original Mix) ↓

There are only a few things I’d get my ass up outta bed to do at this time of night… Posting this was one of those. Adorable Rooskie Artem Stolyarov, aka ARTY, has been producing some immense podcasts lately, titled “2gether We Are“. The most recent featured his very own remix of Zedd‘s Spectrum, and it is beyond excellent… Enjoy the track below (particularly Arty-ish around the 2-minute mark), followed by his podcast #7 in full!

★ Zedd – Spectrum (Arty Remix) ↓ or $

Thank the lord for all this sunshine… tiring, but revitalizing all the same. Here’s a mix of possibly some of the best sunny weather beats I have ever sought out, from the heavenly echoes of Allein by Eric Prydz, to Human Agency and DJ Kue‘s amazing remixes of old classic faves, to bangin’ reboots by Tommy Trash and Bring the Noise…

I have a list of favorites, I do. I’m by no means organized enough to share said list with you, but if I were to create such a list, let me say without a doubt, Arty would be on it. Check ze arty-archives (lol) for more of his stuff; all of it gives off this unearthly aura I just adore. You hear his music among the thousands for which it’s routinely played, and you feel incredibly, impossibly tiny — but at the same time unbearably important in the overall production, a piece of something much, much bigger. So enjoy a preview of his latest release, aptly titled “Open Space”, followed by an extraordinary mashup of his song with Mat Zo, “Rebound,” by up-and-comer masher Ken Loi.

♬ Arty – Open Space ↓ Preview
★ Arty & Mat Zo vs. GTA (ft. Zashanell) – U & I Rebound (Ken Loi Mashup) ↓

+1 for adorableness.

Okay, this one’s been in the works for quite some time now… a whole mixtape of MASHES! A series of brilliant homages to our favorite indie and pop songs.

I’m really diggin’ the flashback videos artists and their labels have been producing lately. This first one comes from the boys of At Night Entertainment and is a recap of our glorious New York New Years Eve, hosted by Glenn Morrison, Cazzette, Avicii, and Swanky Tunes. “Epic” is one word you could use for the night when 11,000+ of my closest friends and I danced our butts off…

The second video is from New Years Eve Eve, when I tracked down Alesso to Pacha Nightclub and raised my head, arms, and occasionally entire body into the air. Ah the memories…

♬ Alesso – Raise Your Head ↓

Besides being a fantastic trio of musicians in their own right (recently garnering them a spot at #5 on DJ Mag’s Top 100 list for 2011!), Above & Beyond also host a weekly radio show, Trance Around the World, featuring some of the best trance music out there — or not yet out there, often sampling tracks soon to be released on their highly-successful, self-founded trance label, Anjunabeats. Yesterday’s TATW broadcast had some particularly amazing tracks — find my favorite selections below or hear it in its entirety right here!
