Cover, RnB, Videos | Mario – Let Me Love You (Rendition) by SoMo
Posted by J_Salzer on June 11, 2013
Let me start this off by saying that Mario’s Let Me Love you is arguably one of the most famous R&B songs of the 2000’s, and it is most certainly my favorite. That being said, SoMo’s version is better. Of course, Mario’s will always hold a special place in my heart as the ballad I crooned to multiple unwilling females as they struggled out of my grasp through the halls of high school. This week, SoMo let the fans decide what song to cover, and the choice was between Let Me Love You and Mirrors. Of course he did a bit of the latter at the end of the video, but the emotional, passionate feel of Let Me Love you was begging for the SoMo rendition treatment. Check out the video above and let yourself love SoMo.
Events, Featured | Sean Lives On Ft. Kapslap, Aylen, & Nammo
Posted by Mach on May 21, 2013
Sean Lives On was founded by Zach Kardisch in 2012 in memory of his late friend, Sean Riley. Sean passed away in high-school from a rare form of cancer, but while being treated by the excellent staff, was forever grateful to Winthrop Children’s Hospital. Because of that, donating to Winthrop was a no-brainer for Zach. The inaugural event, held in 2012, was able to raise over $10,000. During the year, he was able to partner up with Limitless Entertainment, and this year plans on raising $20,000 to donate.
Headlining this great event is recent Lehigh University graduate, Kap-Slap, with support from Aylen and Nammo, who is a cancer survivor himself. Sean Lives On is a non-profit event, with 100% of the proceeds going to the Winthrop Children’s Hospital. The event is taking place at Warehouse5, in Island Park, Long Island, NY. The event is 16+, and will be held on Thursday, May 23rd.
Indie, Progressive House | Say Lou Lou – Julian (The Chainsmokers Remix)
Posted by Mel on May 20, 2013
So you know how when you were 15 and instead of playing football outside with the rest of the guys in gym class you went and chilled with an okay looking girl that obviously likes you at the lake behind the school. You and the biotch were lying in the grass looking at clouds and generally being kind of gay (not that there’s anything wrong with that) when you looked down and it dawned on you that the shorts you had been wearing casually for the past two months perfectly shows the outline of your penis. Nervously, you get up and attempt to leave. The girl was like “wtf u doin” and ran over to you whilst you were walking away.
She then kissed you for like half a second and you became erect and your friends saw and they still tease you about it today.
That happened to me.
Looking back on that day gives me the same response as the one I got from listening to this song.
“Not bad”.

Dubstep | Nostalgia – The Hero VIP
Posted by Sev on May 1, 2013
Nostalgia might not be one of the most well known artist, but man does he know how to write some sick tunes. ‘The Hero’ was the first tune I heard from him, taking the Zelda theme and giving it his own heavy spin. Now releasing the VIP, he showcases just how much his production has grown as an artist. Listening to the original, then this VIP we clearly get to see the progress dubstep has made. In the original he showcases that old school one wobble/Nero sort of drop, but in this VIP he goes all out with a new crazy synth and melody. The kick and snare in this VIP have a much more punchy transient as well compared to the original, which helps add a more thunderous impact.

Exclusive, Featured, Interviews | Andrew Bayer talks past and future with “If It Were You, We’d Never Leave”, producing with Above & Beyond, future works and more
Posted by Middy on April 15, 2013
American producer (we can’t even try to put him in one genre), Andrew Bayer may seem like a new name to many of you, but this veteran has been in the dance music industry for 10 years now and finally getting the credit he deserves. Starting back in 2003 when he was just a teen in the now on hiatus group, the Signalrunners with Alan Nimmo, before striking out on his own in 2008. An alum on Berklee College Of Music in Boston, Massachusetts (we are all pulling for you guys), he is one of the few DJ / producers with a professional music degree, an experience he calls “amazing for my growth as a producer”.
Andrew Bayer’s music crosses genres and styles. His 2011 artist album, “It’s Artificial” made waves with its wide variety of styles, from glitch-hop to silky smooth techno to eclectic electronica and progressive, that made the whole experience very cerebral. The experimental 8 track debut artist album signaled his arrival as a solo artist and put the world on notice that he was to be reckoned with. His upcoming album “If It Were You, We’d Never Leave” is a beautiful piece of work. Set to release April 22nd, it may be my favorite album since “Group Therapy”, I am willing to go that far. The subtle layers and samples that create the soothing emotions and sounds are unparalleled to what other producers are putting out right now. You can download “It’s Going To Be Fine” for free here on XLR8R, but to be honest it would be a disservice to the track because this album needs to be heard as one contiguous piece of music, just as it was originally constructed, and each single by themselves will not make as much sense without the context of the album.
We had the chance to get him on the phone today, to talk everything from, working and producing with Above & Beyond, the Signalrunners, the album and more. Pre-order and preview the album below and then click the jump to read the interview.
