Exclusive, Featured, Interviews | Hard Rock Sofa On Album “Most Important Thing For Us At Moment”
Posted by Middy on May 6, 2014
Hard Rock Sofa need little introduction. Though their rise to prominence has only been in the past 3-4 years, coinciding with the dance music boom Stateside, they have been making music since 2005. Approaching a decade of making music and it appears that they are hitting their stride (take notes kids, this does not happen overnight, unless you buy it), making tunes in a wide variety of sounds and styles.
We were supposed to sit down and chat with them the third day of E Zoo, but well I think we all know what happened. But we got the chance after “Arms Around Me” released to chat with them, so of course we did. We got to chat about their latest single “Arms Around Me” that was just released on Axtone, the impact of Sergey (the former third member of the group) leaving, their upcoming artist album and much more.
Progressive House | Lush & Simon – Banshee
Posted by Middy on May 4, 2014
Though Simon from Lush & Simon left the duo, the hot in demand duo live in on with a new member with Lush as the veteran and grounding member. To celebrate the fact they have a tune coming soon on Protocol Recordings, they are giving out a brand new freebee “Banshee”. The tune starts with a more minimal clubby feel and then elevates into the powerful melodic type of style that we have come to expect from Lush & Simon. Also included is their vocal mix of “City Of Lights”, featuring Swedish group XOV that was released on Monday.
Progressive House | September – Cry For You (Live City Remix)
Posted by Middy on May 3, 2014
2014 is starting to shape up into something great for Live City. They have already unleashed a boatload of free remixes, in addition to some tunes on Tommie Sunshine’s Brooklyn Fire Records & The Disco Fries Liftoff Recordings. The duo continue to write more and more music and it is starting to pay off with approving looks from big labels coming. They tide us over with this remake of an absolute jam, September’s “Cry For You” giving it the upbeat melodic energy that is fit for present day, while still paying proper homage to its brilliance.

Dubstep | Seven Lions – Worlds Apart EP
Posted by Middy on May 3, 2014
Whenever Seven Lions releases new music, you immediately stop what you are doing to take a listen. His sound is so unique, enthralling and well put together that every time you hear new something him it is a totally different experience. Recently signed to Universal’s burgeoning dance imprint Casablanca Records, which has artists like Tiësto, TJR, Martin Garrix and Chase & Status in its stables, Seven Lions was given access to top of the line topline writers like Ellie Goulding and Kerli.
All five tunes show the mastery of Jeff Montalvo and the hard work he has put in over the winter break he took from touring to focus on just making music. The aforementioned Ellie Goulding kicks off the EP, featured on the first track. It is fitting that someone whose career is largely owed to producers remixing her songs, Ellie Goulding, hopped on this EP to provide her instantly recognizable vocal talents to the trancy opening tune, “Don’t Leave”. Only “Strangers” is a previously released track, with each record having its own feel and sound, yet remaining true to the Seven Lions ethos. This may be his most complete EP to date and this will hold us over for quite some time as we know the perfectionist takes a while to release material.

Events | Electric Zoo Releases Trailer, Extra Security Measures & Pre-Sale Tickets
Posted by Middy on April 30, 2014
The big news coming out of Made Event today is that Electric Zoo finally was issued its permits by the city of New York for this year over Labor Day weekend August 29th – August 31st. That means all of the wild and ridiculous speculation that E Zoo wouldn’t be back can end and the attention can turn to who will be booked and the new safety measures put in place. Speaking of those safety measures, a quick run down: drug sniffing dogs, lots of extra cops & medical personnel, including undercovers in the crowd, big marketing & social media campaign about safety and most importantly, a shorter festival cutting two hours of the day from 11am – 1pm.
So the question now arises, with all of the extra security, will it become suffocating and cause problems or be a net benefit and will you get your money’s worth for you ticket since prices are not going down, even with less acts. Pre-sale tickets are on sale now for $335 so check it out and make the decision yourself. We had a blast day one and two last year, but everyone knows this year will be different.
