While royalty is rarely served on a silver platter, NY native, Kurt Rockmore has his sights set on a gold plated crown. Early in 2013, Kurt released his debut project, Red Carpet Ignorance, which illustrates his opening with red carpet treatment. The project is sealed off with an outro track entitled “To Be King”. Above are the corresponding visuals featuring grammy nominated singer/songwriter Golden Chyl, as they collectively question what it takes to be king. Be on the lookout for Kurt touring the nation with Mike Stud.

Albums, Hip-Hop, Videos | Huey Mack x Mike Stud – Alive (Krewella Remix) (Prod. Judge)
Posted by LoffyG on March 12, 2013
With only two more stops remaining on his UpToNoGoodTour, Huey Mack takes a break in NY to record an all new remix of Krewella’s “Alive” with Mike Stud. They let this one go early since the video for Huey’s first single off his upcoming project, Dirty Laundry wasn’t ready yet. That video is set to drop next week so until then spin this!
Hip-Hop, Pop | Jared Evan – Are We Almost There Yet? (Prod. by Statik Selektah)
Posted by Grubeats on February 22, 2013
One of my favorite up and coming hybrid artists, Jared Evan, shares the first cut off his collaborated project with producer Statik Selektah. At only 23, the NY native has had an adventurous career, initially signing with Interscope, having his music featured in TV spots, to releasing several solo projects and now working on a collaborative effort with one of the game’s most respected producers. With the title of the upcoming project, Boom Bap & Blues, Statik cooks up a beat driven by a heavy bass line, snare kicks and smooth keys as Jared soulfully sings his first verse before bursting into a secondary rap verse. Asking the seamlessly daunting question, “Are we almost there yet?”
“Statik play the record so they hear what I say, I’m from New York but I’m headed west no Kanye,
With a back pack if my fans talk then I chat back and I bogart like the rat pack”

Albums | Is this the future of EDM events?
Posted by BIGLIFE on September 26, 2012
“Fantazia 360” by NV Concepts (explained in the video above) ventures outside the norm by incorporating a theatrical experience into its show. The goal behind their movement is obvious; to supplement the monotonous stage productions seen elsewhere and start a new breed of EDM events. Will Fantazia 360 set a new precedent? Will Tiesto, Avicii, Dada Life, etc start to feature the likes of acrobats and fire breathers? I think NV Concepts is moving in the right direction by trying to add more performance value to shows so I’d like to see this progression come to fruition. However, I’m weary that the unauthentic party goers of our time will continue to settle for less.
If you’re as curious as I am about Fantazia 360, purchase tickets for their shows in NY, PA, MA – HERE.

House | Stereoshock – Feeling That Melody
Posted by W8 on June 19, 2012
NY’s very own Stereoshock amalgamates That Melody by Mark Simmons and Carita La Nina along with Make Me Feeling by Simone Farina, Alessandro Vinai and Andrea Vinai. The result is that track you’ve been yearning for, and eloquently depicts my lack of posts lately as an attempt to maintain this particular echelon of track. This entails that when I do post, you should expect nothing less than absurd. I figure, it’s better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt by posting anything less. Many of you can relate to the endless search for that diamond in the rough, and it’s tracks like this that restore faith and make it all the worthwhile.
Dubstep, Hip-Hop | Bassnectar – Vava Voom (Ft. Lupe Fiasco)
Posted by Mach on March 26, 2012
Today Bassnectar and Lupe Fiasco dropped their collaboration single off of Bassnectar’s upcoming album, ‘Vava Voom.’ The album art (below) is a trippy play with the lettering, took me a few minutes to figure out the working of the letters…not that I didn’t know it says ‘Vava Voom.’ Lupe joined up with Bassnectar last summer to do Bass Island in NY, which I did not have the chance to go to, but I am sure it is what sparked this sick collaboration. The way they have set up obtaining this track is you have to pre-order the album, kind of sucks, but we don’t make the rules. ‘Vava Voom’ drops April 10th.
