NYE Miami: New Year’s Eve 2015 Party Guide

It’s that time of year again, where we reflect on our failure to commit to last year’s resolutions (what gym membership?), and celebrate the oncoming year’s impending and inevitable resolution fails with copious amounts of alcohol and dancing into the early hours of the first virginal sunrise of 2015.

Tomas Barford feat Nina K – Pulsing (David August Remix) [Unreleased]

[soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/175434957″ params=”color=ff2a00&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false” width=”500″ height=”90″ iframe=”true” /] With a tune as gorgeous and easy to get lost in as David August‘s remix of Thomas Barfod’s “Pulsing,” it’s a shame that, along with his other artistic works on his recent Boiler Room set, they will likely never be released, as he stated himself. While…

Probably best known for his amazing, breathtakingly beautiful collab with Maher Daniel for “Farewell…

Plastikman – Expand (Tale Of Us Remix) [Unreleased]
