Dubstep | Konec – The Void (Ft. Anna Yvette) + Exclusive Interview
Posted by Sev on May 24, 2013
It has been a great pleasure watching Konec grow as an artist over the past year and even more exciting to see what the future holds for this young talent. After months of hard work he is on the verge of his new EP release entitled ‘Futures EP’ on Datsik’s label, Firepower Records. It’s great to see an artist work so hard and receive the credit they deserve for the countless hours they spend working on their craft. Up until now we have been getting little glimpses of Konec’s EP through mixes, but with the EP release in four days we finally get a free download of what I consider to be one of the most emotional dubstep tracks I have heard thus far this year. Anna Yvette has clearly been busy working with some of the best producers around and she deserves her recognition just as much as Konec does. With the EP release soon approaching, I recommend everyone listen to the iTunes previews of the tracks and Pre-order the EP right after, because it is going to be worth the purchase. Up to this point I have only see positive responses about the EP and imagine only better things to come. Check out the previews below as well as the exclusive interview with Konec about writing the EP and other matters.

Events, Videos | Watch: Above & Beyond’s Incredible Wynn Promo Video
Posted by Middy on May 18, 2013
Normally I don’t even bother to watch these videos or even given them the slightest thought because they are all the same. It is some DJ saying just “how excited” he is to be playing at X club in Vegas, as they pay him some exhorbinant amount of money to schmooze with VIPs wasting thousands on bottle service. Deadmau5 will be making 850,000 dollars per show at Hakkasan over the next 2 years if you want an idea of the money being thrown around. However, Above & Beyond, never one to follow the trend, come up with an innovative and incredible video, taking James Bond influences and apply it to their promo video for their short residency at the Wynn and their various clubs. Watch it all the way through, it is great to see their personalities and decent acting abilities shine through. Dates for their shows are below and you can get more info on the Wynn website here.

DJ-Set, Progressive House | Avicii – Promo Mix 2013
Posted by Middy on April 10, 2013
On the heels of his very controversial Ultra MainStage set where he premiered a lot of the new material from his new album and there was a kazoo, Avicii gives us a further glimpse into the future with this hour long promo mix that features several of those aforementioned country-house tracks. He starts in the mix with some upcoming more traditional Avicii tracks, including the massive collab between him and Lana del Ray, before launching into some of his more experimental material that put the world on notice at UMF. To be honest I was one of the people who hated on the stuff at the time because mainly I just did not know how to process what was going on and rejected it outright for the moment. But, after listening to it on some nice speakers in a calm setting, it is growing on me and I think it will grow on most Avicii fans as well because I would like to think that his fans are open minded enough to give it a second chance. Maybe that is naive, but I would like to think that is case.

Boston has never been seen as a “birthplace for hip-hop”. Lately, Boston artists have been making an extra push to earn the respect of hip-hop fans worldwide and solidify their city as a reputable grounds for breeding authentic hip-hop talent. Artists such as Moufy and The Dean’s List have earned their accolades from their success of the past few years, but there’s always new talent emerging. The latest MC on the brink of birth outside the walls of Boston hip-hop is Jeff Replay. The 19-year old artist is 1/3 of the collective called ‘Pilot Nation’. The group is in the process of compiling a mixtape collectively which at the moment, is slated for a spring release. “The Runway” holds its place as a promo single leading up to the official releases in the coming months. Knocking production from CPR, excellent camera work from Decriminals and no shortage of depth in his lines from Replay. I think we got one, Boston.

Progressive House | Daddy’s Groove – Stellar
Posted by Middy on January 14, 2013
The lyrics say it all — this one is f*cking stellar. I have wanted this one badly for the past several months with it being played in just about all of the prominent Dj podcasts. Italian trio, Daddy’s Groove ditch their recent gruff electro style and go for a more radio friendly sound with an easy guitar build and infectious melody, combined with the simple yet effective vocals that make “Stellar” destined to be a chart topping hit. With the final edit seeing some variation from the promo we have been hearing for the past few months, look for this one to remain fresh for quite some time.

DJ-Set, Electro-House, Progressive House | Tiësto & Wolfgang Gartner – We Own The Night ft. Luciana
Posted by Middy on April 6, 2012
Tiesto has released another single off of his much anticipated compilation album Club Life: Volume 2 Miami. This collaboration between Tiesto and Wolfgang Gartner displays both of their unique styles. The track starts with moving string elements and introduces the quality female vocals from Luciana who has become known for her work with Laidback Luke among others. The drop hits with a groovy, techy bass line that is almost identical to one of my favorite EDM tracks ever, Wolfgang Gartner – Space Junk with added synth elements over top and vocals from Luciana. If this track and the others that have been have been previewed in some form or another are indication that this album will nothing short of spectacular. Also below is Magnus & Timon’s Easter mix that puts together a range of tech to progressive tracks that will satisfy all tastes and keep you on your toes from one song to the next. Tracklist after the jump.
