“Yo Mel! I know you don’t have many friends and still don’t have a girlfriend  and also stay home most of the time so I’ve got the perfect site for you, edm-date.com”. That’s (roughly) what Middy said to me a week ago and I was admittedly intrigued. The thought of meeting a girl who loves Avicii, Zedd, Calvin Harris, Alesso, and that one Swedish House Mafia song as much I really got me going! Could I even find a girl like that at school?  Not a chance! I was stirring at the opportunity to sign up and finally get a gf at last! I figured it would be a bit of work though and I was already pretty tired, just had a piece of cheesecake ya know (super filling), so I took a nap. I woke up in a different state of mind however. Do I really want to look for love online? I don’t know, that’s what losers do… What about if things go well so we decide to meet up somewhere and it turns out we actually have a great time. We laugh and tell stories, spend the night telling each other about our childhood and what not. I then pay for dinner, drive her home, and she lies in bed thinking about me. I, on the other hand, lie in bed and cry because she has Megan Fox thumbs and a slightly askew left eyebrow so I have no other choice but to never talk to her again. There were many similar questions buzzing around in my head so I was unsure as to whether or not I wanted to go through with it. A sticky stomach and a shameful shower later, it was time to get to work.

 

So… I did it. I signed up and attempted to get a date. Does this EDM exclusive dating site actually provide people with a chance to find love with likeminded individuals or was it all a waste of time? Read on to find out.

Hip-Hop, Videos | Dylan Owen — My Name Is Dylan [Freestyle]

Posted by on November 13, 2013


Over the past few years of closely following the trajectories of upstart artists (rappers in particular), one of the most important characteristics of the more enduring artists I’ve found is their versatility. Dylan Owen has rightfully received a tremendous amount of praise since 2011’s Keep Your Friends Close, all synonymous with his innate ability to gratify a variety of listeners with equal ease: honesty-craving singer-songwriter fans, lyrically-focused hip-hop heads, punchline-loving partygoers. While his most recent release, “The Window Seat”, is what he’s best known for—the maturity of perspective, the resonance of his songwriting, the lasting substance—here he concocts a quick reminder that he, too, can playfully rap with the best of them. Reminiscent of the verse he premiered prior to our interview together a year ago, this track is punchline-heavy, and shows off his wittiness and love to play with language. A must listen, regardless of your preconceived genre-affiliations.

FYI | Justin Bieber Filmed By Brazilian Prostitute

Posted by on November 6, 2013


It just keeps getting weirder. Just hours ago, PerezHilton.com released exclusive video of Justin Bieber purportedly asleep after doing the no pants dance. I’d have a lot of respect for the biebs if he manned up and owned it. Instead, he denies he was even there when pictures tell another story. Isn’t all that surprising. Here’s the sordid plot twist though…

Apparently, the woman in the video is Tati Neves, one of Brazil’s most famous transexual? prostitutes that just so happens to work at the brothel in question. Bieber was said to have picked her because “she looked like she could suck a golf ball through a garden hose.” I’m usually of the opinion that the biebs is bullet-proof. I’m not sure how he’s going to get out of this pickle.

UPDATE: Another woman from Paraguay has tweeted a pile of money thanking Justin. The plot thickens!

Electro-House | Dirtyloud Ft. Sirreal – Needle (FTampa Remix)

Posted by on November 1, 2013

Dirtyloud Ft. Sirreal - Needle (FTampa Remix)FTampa is one of those artists I feel has never gotten the amount of love he deserves. He dropped this raver’s fantasy today as a little thank you to the fans he has had and the support they have given over the years. I have had a little trouble listening to House and Electro-House lately due to how the festival scene has forced upon artists repetitiveness in production. Since my first days with FNT up to today, FTampa has never disappointed me with a track. This remix is no exception to that either, enjoy.

Drum & Bass, Dubstep | Black Sun Empire & Noisia – Hideous (Audeka Remix)

Posted by on October 31, 2013

Black Sun Empire & Noisia Remix ContestVoting doesn’t open on Beatport until November 12th and I feel like Audeka already has one the top remixes. This Neuro-hop take on the Neuro-funk original is one hell of a dirty remix. The way the bass pours into your ears is like watching lions hunt, every thump is a gazelle being taking out. Make sure to show Audeka some love on this track, they are more than deserving to dominate the contest with this remix. Voting opens Nov. 12th and closes Nov. 25th.
