Posted by Meezy on July 26, 2016
Come August 21 the windy city will be taken over by the one and only Diplo, and a handful of supporting acts, for Chicago’s take on the Mad Decent Block Party. The venue for the event is the First Merit Bank Pavilion on Northerly Island which is located just south of the city on a narrow strip of land along the coast of Lake Michigan, making it a very unique and sought after location. This is one of the many venues that is home to a Mad Decent Block Party this summer… Check out the entire schedule of Block Parties here.
For those that do not know, Mad Decent is a record label that was spearheaded by Diplo back in 2005. Aside from the music that they publish, the label is most known for throwing “Block Parties” in various major cities throughout the US. These Block Parties are single day festivals showcasing numerous acts affiliated with Mad Decent and are known for exposing upcoming talent to the public. Mad Decent Block Parties have been a major success and only prove Diplo’s dominance in the industry.
The bill of artists for the Chicago Mad Decent Block Party consists of Diplo, Drezo, GRYFFIN (DJ Set), Justin Martin, Kesha, Oshi, Rae Sremmurd and an additional surprise guest that has yet to be announced.

The mashup; one of the hardest concepts to pull off as a producer, however, the one guy that can undeniably do it is the renowned Trademark. Trademark has never let us down, and he does not plan to anytime soon. His latest “Where We Fit In” is pure gold mixing in the vocals of “Where Are Ü Now [Ember Island Cover]” and “Cool Kids” with the electrifying progressive house track “All the Way”. This a tune that can undoubtedly get a party started the right way. Best part about it… Download is FREE.99. Make sure you show the always dependable Trademark some love and nab this track and blast it loud throughout the summer months.

Electronic | The Remix ‘This Could Be Love’ Needed
Posted by Juicebox on March 9, 2015
It’s always exciting when you come across a track you can’t really put a label on or place in a genre. For his (or her) first release ever, AVNU has delivered a very ‘mellow’ and ‘chill’ remix that is rooted in 808s that has left all of us struggling to really define what sound this is. The one thing we do know is that this track is just beautiful and exactly what the original needed. The vocal cuts, the melodic but simple builds; everything about this track is what seemed to be missing in the remix competition Borgeous & Shaun Frank launched last month. Our hats are off to you AVNU.
Future House | Jack U Recruit Tchami To “Take U There”
Posted by BIGLIFE on December 18, 2014
Diplo and Skrillex recruit enigmatic priest-garb wearing future house purveyor Tchami to put his incredible touch on “Take U There” featuring IDJ’s Kiesza. This remix is so good, it makes me want to pound a million shots of that anti-freeze laced Fireball and throw myself out a high-rise building. Just when I thought he would utilize those Tchami snyths we get an entirely new sound. Just incredible. I can’t wait to go deep with this tune all weekend. Tchami’s “Take U There” drops December 23 via OWSLA / Mad Decent, which can’t come quickly enough. Tchami. I need more Tchami! Tooooo good. [H/T HT]
House | Pep & Rash – Fatality (Quintino Edit)
Posted by BIGLIFE on November 24, 2014
This is for all you kids in the chat box with absolutely zero taste in dance music. You know, the one’s who b*tch and moan about there not being enough progressive house slash brostep posted. I’ve pretty much had it with progressive house at this point but Quintino’s edit of Pep & Rash’s “Fatality” is a huge tune. There’s just no getting around it. The video is horrendous, but it doesn’t matter. Spinnin’ Records continues to pump out hit after hit. Incredible really. Pick this up on Beatport below.
