Chill, Trap | Bronze Whale – Say It

Bronze Whale, a duo from Austin, TX, just released this sweet trap track. I can’t get enough of it’s tripped out vibes.

Bronze Whale has out lots of other chill remixes too so check him out! This one’s free!

Events | Sunday Of Electric Zoo Canceled Due to “Serious Health Concerns”
Posted by Middy on September 1, 2013
Sunday of Electric Zoo has been canceled. If you are reading this and getting ready for the festival, stop and go back to bed because today is not happening. In conjunction with the Mayor’s office, Made Event, agreed to cancel Sunday after 2 people died over the course of Friday and Saturday and at least another 4 became seriously ill and needed to be hospitalized. The cause for the hospitalizations is not known yet, but it is presumed to be MDMA consumption. Before we start pointing fingers and blaming this person and that person, realize that this is a tragedy and two people died, so our hearts and prayers go out to the families and friends of the those who died, and we hope for a speedy recovery for those hospitalized. However, at some point these needless deaths at festivals have got to come to an end and soon because they are going to bring this to a halt.
Made Event has released a statement on the matter:
The founders of Electric Zoo send our deepest condolences to the families of the two people who passed away this weekend. Because there is nothing more important to us than our patrons, we have decided in consultation with the New York City Parks Department that there will be no show today.
Bass, Trap | The Robot Dentist – Stacks
Posted by VMan on August 27, 2013
Some days I just want to listen to some ignorant trap music, and just rage. Today is that day, and the Robot Dentist has the right prescription for me with “Stacks.” This one goes out to all the college students, all about that FBGM lifestyle ready to tear shit up this semester. The Dentist delivers with a hard bass line, and his choice of vocal samples are straight money. Take this record for what it is, and just vibe with it, enjoy the free download, and make sure you like and follow The Robot Dentist on Facebook, and Twitter! This is a must listen!

Progressive House | Teqq vs Alive&Kicking – Mistake
Posted by Mel on August 26, 2013
Teqq and Alive&Kicking are both producers who I don’t know much about. Teqq is from Germany and Alive&Kicking is American as far as I can tell. That’s really all I know. W8, back in the day when he was into this genre first shared Teqq with me and I have been keeping an eye on him since. “Mistake”, his latest release is in collaboration with the aforementioned Alive&Kicking and I think his best work yet.

Albums, Progressive House, Review, Trance | BT – A Song Across Wires (Album Review)
Posted by Middy on August 22, 2013
BT is not a producer you can put in a box and say he is trance or ambient or glitch, he is all of those things and so much more, so much more. He is one of the pillars of trance with his album “Ima” back in 1994 that helped shape the trance sound that become what so many love and yearn for today. As a classically trained musician, getting his degree from Berklee College of Music, BT when he isn’t producing some of the most critically acclaimed pieces of electronic music, he is scoring movies like Monsters Inc and Fast & Furious (just the first one). His pieces take you on musical journeys, notably his more ambient stuff, like “This Binary Universe”. He is also a great programmer and computer geek that led him to develop the stutter edit that is being used by everybody, and I mean everybody.
One cannot praise BT enough because he does it the right way, has worked incredibly hard to get where he is today, and did not get it cheap, in one case had to sell his car to finish the full project for “This Binary Universe” (2006). He is also a great guy (we got to sit down with him for an interview, coming soon) and he is brilliant.
His 9th artist album is strong departure from the rest of his material, going strictly for music that is accessible in clubs and festivals. It is interesting to hear his interpretation on modern dance music because of BT’s background in music and his strength in composition. With much of mainstream dance music becoming stale, an innovator like BT trying his hat at a more danceable sound is a relief because you know it will be something new and hopefully inspiring to others.
Electro-House | Showtek Feat We Are Loud! & Sonny Wilson – Booyah
Posted by Middy on August 21, 2013
Showtek are just phenomenal. People think they have just come from nowhere in this electro house game. Well first they were a part of Boys Will Be Boys with Tiesto & Anger Dimmas, and then took on the producing role for Tiesto, which they may or may not have relinquished. Now they are cranking out some of biggest tracks today, and “Booyah” is just the latest. Infusing reggae, rock and dnb into one electro house track, Showtek show once again why they are one step ahead of just about everyone else.
House, Pop | Killy Cakes – Magic
Posted by VMan on August 20, 2013
I’ve been a sucker for that nu-disco meets house sound lately, and today’s find of the day falls on the up and coming Russian synth-pop group, Killy Cakes, with their release of “Magic.” I love the guitar, the synths, and the 80’s sound this record has; nothing but great vibes. If you haven’t noticed yet, I’m all about these feel good tunes that keep you motivated, and just throwing it out there, this tune would make a great sample for a hip hop beat… Who would’ve thought great music could’ve came from Russia! Wish I had a download link for you guys!
Also check out their awesome remix of Mana Island’s “Beauty Spot.” Nothing but a good time!
