Monday Choon: Armin van Buuren vs Shapov - The Last Dancer

Following the trend of featuring new hits from Ultra Miami, here is another one that just came off the production line. It's the new one by legendary DJ Armin van Buuren which he worked with Russian producer Shapov to make this track. The track it self is great and you can identify the high energy style from Shapov with the uplifting trance from Armin's side. The multiple drops are the kicker to me, added to that the violins plus the bass just ties the entire song up so well. Armin dropped the track at the main-stage at Ultra where her invited Shapov onto stage to share the moment with him. We have that moment for you today, enjoy!

Monday Choon: Axwell & Shapov - Belong

Axel Christofer Hedfors, most of us know him as Axwell, one of the former members of the Scandinavian trio, Swedish House Mafia and has been doing really well since. He and the other member of SHM Sebastian Ingrosso came together to form Axwell Ingrosso who've been hitting the globe with great success these past few years. Axwell has now embarked on some solo projects, one of which is today's featured track. He's teamed up with Russian DJ Shapov, formerly part of Hard Rock Sofa for the track belong. It's blends in their two styles quite well and seems to be one of the popular tracks around a the moment. 

Monday Choon - Ultra Countdown: Zedd - Papercut ft. Troye Sivan

In just about 3 weeks, South Africa will be taken over by some of the worlds biggest names in electronic music. We continue our Ultra South Africa Countdown this week with another superstar DJ that will be headlining the countries premier dance music festival, Zedd. The Russian-German DJ is one of two Grammy award winning DJ's that will be playing at Ultra SA 2016 and it will be his first time in the country. 

I am a big fan of Zedd's previous stuff, his collaborations with artists like Matthew Koma, Hayley Williams, Salena Gomez and Foxes did phenomenally well and which ultimately led to his Grammy Award nomination and win. In his most recent work he still finds himself working with artists from around the spectrum, this week's featured track has the vocals of South Africa's very own Troye Sivan. Troye popular for his starring role in the SA movies Spud, based on the popular noval has been concentrating a lot on his singing of late and it's great to see him team up with Zedd on the track papercut.
