Press Play Bitch: Hydra Productions Creating A Tidal Wave

Hydra

You probably haven't heard of Hydra Productions before and that's ok.  Neither did I until about 9 months ago when a long time pal of mine Shawn Winstian got in contact to tell me he was releasing a dance CD with his songwriting partner Shane Condo.  Naturally I was curious.  Shawn is a talented songwriter and has worked with many of my favourite pop stars from yesteryear inclulding Tiffany, Tommy Page, Stacey Q, Expose and even one of my current favourite voices, Nic Kat.

Well the day has finally arrived and Hydra Productions have officially released their first CD called "Liquid" and the results are rather amazing.  You can listen to a sampling of their perfect pop dance tracks over on their MySpace page now or you can just press play below to hear the stunning "Dust Off And Dance" featuring Tiffany.  I won't go on and on about this track, but you just imagine how much I love it.  I'm shrieking from excitement and I played it four times on the way to the office this morning - it's that cool.

If you are interested in purchasing the CD, make sure you visit their official website and if you're an artist interested in having Shawn and Shane write some incredible original songs for you - definitley get in touch with them - they are EQ approved.

Press Play Bitch : Sergey Lazarev "Flyer (Under Fire)"

Sergey_flyer

I got a little overly obsessed with Sergey's Eurovision track "Flyer (Under Fire)" last night and found that it was all over the web and has the Russians and a certain EQ going crack crazy.

So here it is in HQ format for you to listen to - just press play bitch!

Sergey Lazarev - "Flyer (Under Fire)"

Sergey really needs to get his ass over to the UK to do some promo - Pronto. His english-speaking fan club beckons. It's time for a talented international popster to bring some quality synchronized dancing and performance back to the masses.

Music On The Verge - Viktor : The Boy Who Cried Wolf

1526896278_e1e474b8ac

We can't get enough of this song lately.  It's called 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf' by Viktor.  The premise of the song...well it's happened so many times in our youth.  You start sleeping with a guy who claims to be straight.  It's exciting, it's thrilling - it's annoying when he won't go the club with you and then calls you at ungodly hours of the morning wanting some boo-tay.  Viktor and EQ say "LOSER". 

Viktor's track is a total throwback to the 80's when dance music was raw and passionate.  This song really reminds me of Paul Lekakis' 'Boom Boom' and even a little pinch of a-ha's 'Cry Wolf' mixed in.  It really gets us going and Viktor totally tears up this anthematic track.  His unconventional style and confidence is truly inspiring and we hope Viktor breaks out into the open.  Hey if Jeffree Star can do it - so can Viktor.  Viktor's unabashedly electro-pop album 'Dance Like No One's Watching' is available on iTunes now. Take a listen to our latest 'Music On The Verge' track below.

Music On The Verge: Wideband Network - Anatomy Of A Human Bomb

Human_bomb

Those boys known as The Wideband Network never cease to amaze me.  Check out their upcoming single for 'Anatomy Of A Human Bomb' which is full of electronic goodness and pazazz.  I was going on about them awhile ago as their song '95' is still one of my faves this year.

Take a little listen below to hear what all the fuss is about...if you are interested in remixing the track for the guys, take a look at this link.
