Electronic, Videos | Carte Blanche – Gare du Nord
Posted by yabishcic on November 25, 2013
Can we all just stop and take 2:48 to remember this amazingly ridiculous (because of the video) / actually-good (because of the music) song released back in 2010 by Ed Banger duo, DJ Mehdi and Riton, off their EP “Black Billionaires EP”. Even though the video features a super hyphy 80’s crowd getting down to some original electro, don’t let the retro get to you; this song is pretty epic. Taking you back in time, the beat is absolutely perfect. Gare du Nord (“North Station”) is one of the six large terminus stations of the SNCF mainline network for Paris. It offers connections with several urban transportation lines, including Paris Métro, RER and Buses. By the number of travelers, at around 190 million per year, it is the busiest railway station in Europe and outside Japan. I can only imagine people in Paris going beserk to this song in their world-renowned clubs… Like I said, epic.

Electro-House | Kylie Minogue – Skirt (GTA Remix)
Posted by Middy on June 28, 2013
One of your DJs favorite duos, GTA have joined an outstanding cast of remixers taking on Kylie Minogue‘s recent single “Skirt“, taking it from a radio friendly hit, to a club ready track. In a package with Nom de Strip, Hot Mouth, Switch and others, GTA find a way to stand out once again for their originality and potency as they bring they make the most of this track. Using just the right amount of vocals from Kylie Minogue, the Miami duo add a powerful kick, churching synth chords and booming horns to create a surprisingly powerful offering for the original. The duo, who are in the midst of a tour in Europe with David Guetta and Rihanna, show that even in the midst of mediocrity (Rihanna isn’t so bad), they can still come up with original music.

House | Avicii ft Aloe Blacc – Wake Me Up
Posted by Middy on June 25, 2013
Rejoice, Avicii is making it cool for you to wear cowboy boots and your neon YOLO hat in the same outfit to your favorite mediocre local festival! First premiered on the Mainstage during his unpredictable set at Ultra Music Festival, Avicii‘s lead single “Wake Me Up” from his upcoming album “TRUE“, has finally hit stores worldwide. It has been released in Europe for a week now, but as of today it is available worldwide on Spotify and iTunes. It is exciting to this change in direction from Avicii and the possibilities of what he can bring in the future since he has inspired so many copycats in the past few years. Whether or not his fans will be supportive of his new sound 100% remains to be seen, but you can expect September 17th to be a landmark day for one of the titans in dance music.
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.

Posted by Middy on June 11, 2013
We have given you a small taste of what Flume has to offer the past few days and if you have not gotten his album go and do so immediately. Flume has already taken Australia by storm with his Infinity Prism Tour and now looks to expand his horizons beyond the Aussie coasts.
He will be in Europe this summer for a substantial tour, but this fall he will be arriving stateside a 17 date tour, spanning from San Francisco and Vancouver, to Toronto and New York in August and September. Technically the tour is at the end of Summer, but in dance music seasons, it is the fall. Expect the tickets to fly off the shelf with the growing popularity of Flume, so be ready when they do go on sale.
