Electronic, House | Carnage & Tony Junior – Michael Jordan
Posted by mimada on July 23, 2013
The latest release by Carnage proves that he is mercilessly conquering the festival house game. “Michael Jordan,” a collaboration with Dutch DJ Tony Junior, is already a raging hit that has spread like fire across the board. Even prior to it’s release though, the track was already pretty ubiquitous, packing heat in big name sets such as Martin Solveig, R3hab and Steve Aoki. Now my social media feeds are filled with “Michael Jordans,” a new sort of Harlem Shake where you just gotta get as pumped as possible when the beat drops.
“When we were testing out the track, people jumped like crazy on it, so we thought about someone that could jump really high,” claims Tony Junior, according to Billboard. “Then Carnage said, ‘Let’s call it ‘Michael Jordan!’ And the name was born.”
So there you have it. Now everybody get up, it’s time to slam.
“Michael Jordan” is available for purchase via Beatport

Events | Making Good Decisions at Global Dance Festival
Posted by mimada on July 18, 2013
This weekend marks the 11th running of Global Dance Festival at Red Rocks, presented by Colorado’s own electronic pioneers, Triad Dragons. Now, this may come off a little strong, but Global is honestly the reason why I fell in love with electronic music in the first place. Not trying to sound like a total n00b to the electro game because quite frankly I was listening to Basement Jaxx, Ace of Base and Fatboy Slim’s “Sun Is Shining” before I could even read the lyrics so the point I’m actually trying to make here is that Global made me fall in love with the electronic music of our generation (I will NOT reference the E-word, ugh gag me). But the unique thing about Global isn’t the elaborate stage production, yoga circles or 12-hour long DJ sets but the fact that founders Ha Hau and Kostas Kouremenos have stayed true to their mission, and that is bringing in fresh talent and keeping up with the changing tides of the music industry. Not only that, it’s a beautiful amphitheater with natural yet incredible acoustics, with the nicest, most genuine, borderline eclectic crowd out there in the festival circuit. The fans, the producers, the shot callers, there all there for one thing, and that’s the music.
In fact, if there’s one thing you can take away from Global be it that you are presented with the opportunity of witnessing some of the most talented upcoming acts mere moments before their career takes off. Take a look at past lineups and you’ll see what I mean. Even looking at this year’s, you might roll your eyes and pout, But, ehh, where’s Deadmau5? No Armin? What about Porter? Well, you’re a few years too late for those guys, but hey, without further ado, I’m gonna clue you in on everyone you need to see this weekend and why. So when your friends show you some average Instagram photo taken from only the 1,000th row back at Sander van Doorn’s Tomorrowworld set, you can shit on them with your epic, close-up, well-filtered, brilliantly contrasted shot with the Denver Skyline in the background. You’re welcome.

Electro-House | Carnage & KillaGraham – Mr. Lover
Posted by Middy on March 8, 2013
Carnage has been on a roll recently with tracks like “Incredible” and his festival remix of “Spaceman” still seeing a fair amount of air time and KillaGraham has been quiet this year, but with a bevy of productions to finish out 2012, the former DEFEP member has shown plenty of promise coming into this year. Showing their appreciation for the fans, Carnage & KillaGraham have given out for free this high energy electro track that sneaks up you with a slow progressive build, emphasizing the female vocals and then crescendoes into a high powered drop of driving pitched synths and thumping bass.
