Cover, Hip-Hop | PropaneLv – Blood On The Leaves (Kanye West Cover)
Posted by Jess on June 25, 2013
It’s been 3 weeks since last heard from Lv. Word is, as he confirms in the video above, that he’s been in the studio with D.Shuts finishing up his debut album, Varsity Blues, due sometime in September. On another note, he really goes off on Kanye’s “Blood On The Leaves”. The vocals initially set a tone that is shattered when the beat drops. If you’re the impatient type just go straight to 1:14. Boom! #LTRMN.

Albums | Avicii to Release Debut Album TRUE September 17th
Posted by Middy on June 21, 2013
You thought it might never happen, but barring no setbacks or delays, Avicii’s debut album #TRUE will be released on September 17th through PRMD Music and Island Records. The Swedish megastar shocked the world at Ultra Music Festival this past spring when he played many of the selections on the album live that had a very different direction than what people were used to hearing from Avicii. But it appears he is tired of just being associated with “Levels” and wants to go in a different direction and show his diversity as an artist.
Disruption is good when a scene is half stuck
His new single “Wake Me Up” with Aloe Blacc has hit stores in Europe and will go on sale and the radio in the States June 25th. I am really looking forward to hearing the finished product and the new direction he is taking with his sound with the whole host of collaborators he has on the album. The most interesting thing may be the fan reaction, which thus far has been very luke warm, but I think many will come around September 17th. The one downside is that the hashtag in the album name is a tad cheesy.
Update: There will be no hashtag in the name album title. Good call Avicii.

Pop, Videos | Miley Cyrus – We Can’t Stop
Posted by dshaq on June 19, 2013
What ever happened to Hannah Montana? Miley Cyrus has seemed to take her own Lindsay Lohan-esque nose dive for the worse, except more in control (how crazy does that sound?). Her newest release is produced by none other than Mike Will Made it. Without a doubt, this song is going to be a radio hit, however I really question what’s going on in Miley’s head. Anyways all moral standards aside, peep the video above and if you happen to be a big Miley Cyrus fan then look for her upcoming album.
Albums, Videos | The Making Of Pretty Lights Color Map Of The Sun
Posted by Middy on June 19, 2013
Thump followed around Pretty Lights over the past 2 years during the process in which he has been crafted and developed his upcoming artist album “Color Map Of The Sun”. It goes through his progression of working in two studios in Brooklyn and New Orleans, working with countless musicians and singers trying to capture the most organic, raw, soulful sound he could for his album. This time he did not want to go out and sample records, but rather he wanted to create the samples himself and it took over a year to do so, working with all analog machinery to distort and cut, giving it that sound of a past generation. As I finish this video, I have not been this excited for an album since RAM, and though that was only a month ago, this has the possibility to to inspire dance music in a similar way, going back to the roots of blues, hip hop, folk and rock, imbuing them with an electronic sound. Just take it from the man himself as he talked about his own album,
“I think something beautiful and timeless was created”
Does it seem like he is either always high, or just goofy like that? Those dance moves are a bit much at times, but you can see his passion. Also that kitty may just be cutest DJ cat around, sorry Mr Meowingtons and Mittens Francis.

Progressive House | Stars Above – Soar
Posted by Mach on June 17, 2013
After an extremely successful EP that topped the charts on Soundcloud and HypeM, Stars Above rolls out another House gem. “Soar” is an extraordinary uplifting original that takes you to the edge of the Earth and beyond. Stars Above makes sure to take his time, making his lift-off intro a superb countdown to flight time. The drop is nothing short of incredible, sending chills through my spine and proper dance vibes to my feet. Stars Above is just getting started, he currently has a Kickstarter to help in the funding of his dream to produce a full length album he likes to call, “Black Diamonds”. Keep an eye out for more great productions from him in the future.

Attention iPhone users, come this Independence Day, you guys might be a little salty. According to Samsung, they will be giving the brand spanking new album from Sean Carter (Jay-Z) himself to the owners of the Galaxy smartphone for free. You read that correctly. I’m not sure which one is bigger news, the egregious marketing attempt by Samsung, or the album itself. Anywho, it definitely has my cosign…and I’m an iPhone user! Check back soon cause I’m sure some of the singles will be releasing soon. Big things from Hov and the Roc comin soon.
