Dubstep, Interviews, Mashups | Featured Artist: Exceed
Posted by Sev on February 6, 2012
Exceed, aka Brett Stovall, is a DJ and Producer out of Austin, Texas. Having shared the stage with Tiesto, Rusko, Glitch Mob, Steve Aoki, Wolfgang Gartner and many other big names he is working his way to the top. Having seen him this past week and being blown away by his live performance I knew I had to hear more from this producer. Here is a little more about Exceed.
“Better known as the new breed of Texas DJ’s, Exceed aka Brett Stovall is not only known for his skills behind the decks and for his impeccable track selection, but also for the intense crowd connection he builds on every dance floor. That is what truly makes him stand out from the rest. Starting on the streets in 2003 this Texas born DJ has been holding down multiple residences from the age of 17. Since then he has become a Texas favorite and has taken the Electronic dance music scene by storm performing at clubs and raves all over the state as well as Ultra Music Festival, Nocturnal, Electric Daisy carnival and making appearances in Nevada, Florida, Colorado, Kansas, Maryland, Arkansas, Utah and Alaska.”
We were also able to ask a few questions to the Texas native about how he got into DJing as well as producing.

Electro, Interviews | Twibak: On The Rise
Posted by W8 on November 14, 2011
Coming from across the pond in Sweden, Twibak is set to carve out his unique path in the world of house music. Here is a brief interview with Twibak:
With so many genres to choose from, why electronic music?
I first was introduced to electronic music when I went off to study at university. I found Armin van Buuren’s ASOT and that helped me concentrate on studying. As time went on, I became more passionate about music.
The future looks bright for you, what do you envision?
Right now, the goal is to create remixes for other more established artists, and later release records under my own name. I’ve got a lot of passion for music. It’s more than just a hobby for me, so if I can continue making music, I’ll be happy to do so.
Earlier this year american magazine Joonbug gave Twibak and Avicii a shared first prize in a list of artists likely to watch out for.
”This will be Avicii’s other half, because this artist does not even have a track up on Beatport, but his recent mix of friend Martin Lundblad’s ID has exploded to popularity on internet blogs. Mainly progressive, Twibak’s catchy, swooning build ups are broken by a nicely harmonized electro bit, the kind popularized by Bob Sinclair, Dirty South, and David Guetta. Twibak is someone to watch for 2011, particularly with the number of superstar DJs coming out of Sweden.”
Twibak says he is inspired and appreciative of the recognition, and now works even harder thanks to it. The track below is a symbol of his talent and makes you ponder what his future may hold. I predict big things from this guy – you now know. (Martysounds also deserves credit on this track as well.)
