Trance powerhouse, ATB has amassed over his 15 year career, 8 studio albums and reputation for excellence, both in the live hemisphere and in his studio output.

Electronic, Indie | Bend – I’m Taking Care of Him
Posted by mimada on April 19, 2013
So now that you’ve got the latest Daft Punk in your sweet possession, add this to your summer playlist in the making:
Meet Bend, an indie synth-pop duo outta Los Angeles who’s previous works prove their versatility on the indie electro front. Their newest single, “I’m Taking Care of Him,” feels a little like an electronic Vampire Weekend battling the AcaFellas over a beautiful grand Steinway piano. This song makes a perfect summer melody as I can just imagine myself listening to it on any occasion, be it on the beach, on a boat, or driving around with the windows down. Or floating in a sea of nebula, you know (see above).
This marks the first of 3 singles to be released until their full LP drops this June. So stay tuned!

Allow me to christen your lobes with the sounds of 1st Round Record’s newest artist, Bridge. The 21-year old singer/songwriter/occasional rap verse spitter, nests among the stars of Los Angeles, but makes it very clear on this track his confidence and talent eclipse’s hundreds of other aspiring artists striving for fame in the same city. “Do Ya Right” is an edgy, confident pursuit of that dreamy dime every man strives for. Stay tuned as Bridge prepares for the release of the second installment of his trilogy series, Creature Of Habit, due out April 10th.

If you’re among the dwindling percentage of the population that considers the Grammys to be a relevant barometer of today’s music scene, this was probably an exciting morning for you. Nominations for the 2013 awards (where we honor songs from 2012; yes, it’s all terribly confusing) have arrived — and in true Grammys fashion, there are some absolute curveballs thrown into an otherwise dull and predictable mix. Chief among them:
1. No nominations for Bieber. Cue mass Belieber outrage. God willing, however, the Biebs will still get tapped to perform, and in doing so will treat us to yet another glorious display of those drop crotch Hammer-pant legging things he so favors.
2. “Levels” was apparently released after October 2, 2011 and thus qualifies for a nomination.
3. Al Walser.
Since we’re assuming that this is the first you’re hearing of Al, we’ve prepared this handy guide to get you up to speed with the man of the hour. Check out the high budget marvel that is the above video, and then join us after the jump.

Progressive House | Clinton VanSciver & Tony Fresch – Sweet Surrender (Original Mix)
Posted by Juicebox on November 14, 2012
Sweet Surrender is the first release from new Los Angeles-based label Prep School Recordings, and what an inaugural release it is. Shooting up to #23 [as of today] on Beatport’s Progressive House release charts isn’t the kind of thing we normally expect from new imprints, but there’s something different about these guys. The package itself contains the original mix and three remixes, rounded out nicely with both gritty electro and smooth house.
The two standouts are the original mix, produced by Clinton VanSciver & Tony Fresch, and the Ultra Foxx remix, which takes those great melodies and mixes them into a complextro sound ready to make any Porter Robinson or Lazy Rich fan drool for more. Check the entire package out here and check out Prep School Recordings official website out here. Keep an eye out for all of these guys & the label itself, big things are coming.
