Hip-Hop, Rap | Vonny del Fresco – Noir Designer
Posted by admin on January 12, 2014
With the sheer volume of new rappers emerging every day, it never ceases to amaze me how small the hip-hop community actually is. The interconnectivity of all us youngins’ once again came around full circle when “Noir Designer” graced my inbox earlier this week. Although I was familiar with Vonny del Fresco, I never had sat down and truly listened to what he had to offer.
The distorted voice and harsh passion he brings with every line, helps del Fresco paint a vivid picture of a woman caught up in the materialistic glitz and glamour. The almost-satanic sounding song is the antithesis of a typical ballad. As del Fresco explains,
“Noir Designer” tells the tale of a night’s encounter with a female living in a materialistic world, feeding off of greed inspired by her surroundings.
A beautiful exterior disguises inner ugliness.
The finer things allow her to feel secure, indulgence in excess–drugs, sex, sparkling nights–helps her cope.
She meets someone who understands her urges–a man who wants nothing more than to use her in exchange for giving her everything she desires.
A powerful message put forward in a strikingly blunt and confrontational manner is all summed up with a thought-provoking question: Is this modern love?
DJ-Set | Kap Slap – SnowGlobe 2013 Set
Posted by Juicebox on January 8, 2014
SnowGlobe was one for the books, there is no doubt about that. As expected, Tiesto crushed the first night, Kaskade did his thing the second, and Cut Copy brought in the New Year with a vibrant live set. What was unexpected was what happened when Kap Slap took the stage. His set was on the second stage, earlier in the night (5:15 PM), and was competing with the legendary hip hop group Zion I on the main stage. Regardless of the circumstances, come 5:45 PM, the Sierra tent was at capacity with every festival goer dancing their hearts out. Kap Slap kept the entire tent jumping, dancing, & singing for an entire hour and fifteen minutes. The highlight of his set was when he debuted his first original production which left the crowd with their hands in the air and ears asking for more. The transitions were flawless, his stage energy was unmatched, and he closed out his performance with one of his signature stage dives. Relive SnowGlobe 2013 with this heart racing heavy hitting hour and fifteen mix.

The young duo, Louis The Child, most recently featured as #11 on Dubstep.net’s “Top 14 Artists Primed For A Break Out Year”, also just released their debut EP this month “Dimensions”. “Dimensions” has become a huge success, especially with their lead track “Ember”.

Electro | Disclosure – Latch (Stwo & Phazz Edition)
Posted by yabishcic on December 16, 2013
Phazz has to be one of my favorite musical installations in the industry in the last couple of years and his remixes really do it for me. This isn’t only funky, but feel good as well and the original Disclosure song has a run for its money with this Stwo & Phazz edition; “Was the other night with my bro @stwosc on skype and we suddenly decided to do this edition of Disclosure … Hope y’all like it folks.” -Phazz
