Look out Kygo, Norway has a new rising star, and 18 year old Bearson is it with his melodic deep house remix of Tristan Prettyman’s “Song For The Rich.” Still in my Summer chill phase, it’s track like these that make my day run smoothly. A subtle melody, a light beat, and unique vocals that resonate is all it takes nowadays to tickle my fancy, and if any producers are listening I would say: less is more! This is a must listen and a must download!

Events | Electric Zoo Releases Trailer, Extra Security Measures & Pre-Sale Tickets
Posted by Middy on April 30, 2014
The big news coming out of Made Event today is that Electric Zoo finally was issued its permits by the city of New York for this year over Labor Day weekend August 29th – August 31st. That means all of the wild and ridiculous speculation that E Zoo wouldn’t be back can end and the attention can turn to who will be booked and the new safety measures put in place. Speaking of those safety measures, a quick run down: drug sniffing dogs, lots of extra cops & medical personnel, including undercovers in the crowd, big marketing & social media campaign about safety and most importantly, a shorter festival cutting two hours of the day from 11am – 1pm.
So the question now arises, with all of the extra security, will it become suffocating and cause problems or be a net benefit and will you get your money’s worth for you ticket since prices are not going down, even with less acts. Pre-sale tickets are on sale now for $335 so check it out and make the decision yourself. We had a blast day one and two last year, but everyone knows this year will be different.
Dubstep, Trap | Skrux – Escapade
Posted by BP on March 8, 2014
Skrux is killin’ it with the lovetrap! “Escapade” is an original track which could be called something like melodic trap. Emotions run strong in the vocal samples chosen and chord progression. The chords crescendo into a melody that will stick with you long after listening, and Skrux threw in a surprise around 3:50. I’m happy to see Skrux getting more recognition lately. He clearly deserves it. Grab this one for free!

Throwbacks | Valentines Slowjams Chapter VII
Posted by mimada on February 14, 2014
I’m gonna go ahead and say this mixtape is either exactly what you’d expect or quite the opposite coming from Hudson Mohawke (probably the former if you’re a regular of this mixtape series), but I can say with certainty it is exactly what you need on this special day. Take a trip back in time and find out what love sounded like when your parents were gettin’ their groove thaang on, complete with all the sexy saxophone and backup singers you could ever ask for. Light the candles, sprinkle some rose petals, run the bath water and let the fun begin…

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
Events, Featured, Review | RECAP: Alesso @ The Aragon Ballroom 11/23
Posted by dshaq on November 25, 2013
A brisk Chicago night seemed very fitting for the show that Swedish sensation and top DJ Alesso would soon play. A sold out show awaited us as we arrived to the beautiful Aragon Ballroom venue, with an array of personalities passing by. The line for admission went back a good couple hundred people deep and even curled around the alley next to the venue. Everyone stood freezing in line, anxiously awaiting to step into the warm building.
By the time we got situated at the venue, the opener, Luminox, began his set. We all remember him for the huge remix to Bingo Players’ “Rattle”. Showing a wide variety of sounds and styles, Luminox threw one hell of an opening set, even dropping in some Cashmere Cat “No Lie” a personal favorite… With the crowd getting into it, Luminox created a great atmosphere going into Alesso’s set.
Finally it was time for Alesso to perform and the crowd went nuts. Beginning with one of his notable singles, Years, he started it off with a lot of energy that really got the crowd engaged. Everything about the set was phenomenal. The drops never disappointed any of the great build-ups he created, and all the transitions were smooth and clean. He also made sure to highlight his brand new single with Calvin Harris, “Under Control”, by playing it as appreciation to the crowd for such a great show. With a relatively longer set at around an hour and forty-five minutes, Alesso never once lost his audience’s focus. A big round of applause to the Swede for putting on a fantastic show and set, and really look forward to his new songs.
Also, I would like to send a huge thank you to React Presents, who ran the show. I can’t say enough good things about how the concert was run so efficiently and smoothly. Make sure to hit them up on Facebook and Twitter as well because they have some pretty sweet upcoming shows in Chicago during December.
Hip-Hop, Rap | G4SHI – LAUGHING

iTunes: G4SHI – Laughing
Facebook | SoundCloud | Twitter
Brooklyn rapper G4shi is back with a mad dope music video for his latest single “Laughing,” produced by UK producers Success Music, and directed by Definate Films. After shaking up the music industry by getting his record spun on NY’s Hot 97.1 by Peter Rosenberg, and appearing on MTV’s Rap Fix, G4shi understands his value as a talent, and is deciding to run solo for now. The MC is straight up laughing, with no fux given, going from the underrated underdog to King of the New York underground rap scene, and believe me, the man has come a long way. If you’re not familiar with G4shi, get familiar, the mixtape is on its way! This is a must listen and support the movement by copping “Laughing” on iTunes!
