Exclusive, Pop | Premiere: Melleefresh – Apparition (Original Pop Mix)
Posted by Middy on September 18, 2014
For dance music fans, the name Mellefresh is familiar. She has most notably collabed with Deadmau5 to create Freshmau5 back in the early days of his career on tunes like “Hey Baby” and “Sex Slave”. More recently, the singer, songwriter, producer and DJ has been branching out beyond deadmau5’s twisted mind into drum n bass and tech house / minimal with Alixanderlll, part of the revered Azari & III duo. She is also an accomplished artist in her own right and is taking it out to the world with this self-produced and self-written tune “Apparition”. Melleefresh brings together the modern and the pop sensibilities of the 80s as the robotic voice clashes with the themes of love in the tune. We have the premiere for you until it is released on October 6th via Play Records, so stream away now!
FYI | Is This What A Pre-Recorded Set Looks Like
Posted by BIGLIFE on September 6, 2014
Earlier today, our friends at DancingAstronaut.com uncovered some footage of model / DJ/ Instagram narcissist Natalia Paris “DJ’ing” at a gig in Mexico. Although she claims she’s using Traktor, it’s hard to explain away a video that so clearly shows a lack of mixing aptitude. The model / DJ concept is nothing new. Many in the booking world are smartly cashing in on it. In this case, Natalia Paris picked up a $10,000 check. Where there’s demand, supply will always follow. What do you think of her response? Pre-recorded set, or something else?
Weigh in on the comment section below. Rápidamente!
Progressive House | Dirty South – Unbreakable
Posted by Middy on August 20, 2014
Though he just released an album in March of last year “Speed Of Life“, Dirty South is already prepping another full-length LP for release this fall “With You”. He has unveiled the lead single for the album “Unbreakable”, which shows the new direction of the LA based producer / DJ. A bit different from the Dirty South we are used to with his big storming melodies, the Serbian born producer leans more on instrumentation and vocals from Sam Martin to create an actual song in “Unbreakable”. The album is set for release November 4th, so mark your calendars and pre-order it now on iTunes here.

FYI | What’s The Deal With DJ Support?
Posted by BIGLIFE on August 3, 2014
‘
You heard me right. What’s the deal with bragging about DJ support? I’ve know you’ve seen it… “SUPPORTED BY” in those terrible press releases. Perhaps the most hilarious offender is Spinnin’ Records. I’m sure this will ruffle their feathers, but no one is above reproach on this site. Take a gander at the description section on their Youtube page. They always include “DJ feedback”. This is the worst.
