Electro-House | Clinton Sparks ft. Mike Posner- IDKurName

Posted by on September 5, 2012


After the success Clinton Spark’s “Ambiguous” featuring Mike Posner and Big Sean, the dynamic duo team up once again to release, “IDKUR Name,” an anthem all too familiar after a long night of raging. Posner’s silky-smooth, “I don’t know your name, you don’t remember mine do you?” combined with Clinton’s powerful production details the inevitable amalgam of awkwardness that often unfolds the next morning when waking up from last night’s party. Stock up on Vitamin Water and Plan B, the video is coming soon.

It is not too late to add one more banger to your epic Friday night plans. Krftkds really brought the noise with this Electro Trash bomb.

Featured, Review | Lollapalooza 2012

Posted by on August 14, 2012

As a first timer at Lollapalooza, nothing could prepare me for what I witnessed last weekend. 3 days worth of 100,000 people, 130 acts, 8 stages and one astounding Chicago skyline adding the finishing touch to every night. Lollapalooza 2012 reeled in artists from almost every possible genre of music and every corner of the globe, with a crowd of all ages that was alive every second from start to finish.

Friday welcomed the weekend with open arms and clear skies. Perry’s Stage, known for featuring electronic artists, was stripped of its roof and enlarged to accommodate the recent growth of EDM fans. With artists such as Madeon, Porter Robinson, Zedd, Nero, and Bassnectar all in one day, it’s no surprise the stage and entire surrounding area was packed to the brim. Of the most memorable, 18 year old Madeon managed to squeeze in every one of his crowd favorites, from “Finale” to “Pop Culture” in one hour of solid fist pumping, while the underrated duo, Nero, blew the crowd away with their “Feels So Close” remix and “Promises,” featuring live vocalist Alana Watson. For the more laidback audience, there was Passion Pit, M83 and The Shins, never failing to deliver an uplifting show. And for those who just wanted to get down, Wale, Black Sabbath and The Black Keys finished off the day, rocking the night away into the after shows, which kept the music going across town until 4am.

Hip-Hop, Rap | Chiddy Bang – Paper and Plastic

Posted by on July 18, 2012

Chiddy Bang is here once more, a fellow Northfield Mount Hermon psuedo-alumni, him, Converse and Xaphoon create a dope mix of synths and spits. The drums behind the rhymes chill like another member of the band. It’s all around a good song to cruise to late at night. Maybe a preview of a harder Chiddy Bang…who the ef knows.

Hip-Hop | Bei Maejor – Party at the Crib

Posted by on July 16, 2012

All you need to know is that this is produced by Diplo and Bei Maejor. Traces of Diplo’s style are all over this, you can tell that he put in some serious work on. I originally thought this song was obnoxious after first listen, but then I got to the end and had the strange feeling that I needed to play it again. And again. And again. After my 4th listen, the song was etched in my brain for the rest of the night. And let me tell you, pretty girls don’t take kindly to dude’s whispering “Party at the Crib” all night. Grab the download in the description and wish me better luck tonight.
