Posted by BIGLIFE on September 17, 2016
Aluna George. What can you say that hasn’t already been said about the dynamic duo. It’s already been dubbed as Annie Mac’s “Hottest Record In The World” on BBC Radio 1. Well deserved at that, as “Not Above Love” is a song that lands squarely on the listeners ears. Thanks to Yogi, Rock Mafia, and Reid’s production genius “Not Above Love” is arguably the strongest record on Aluna’s “I Remember” released on the 16th of this month. Sultry and infectious, we expect “Not Above Love” to climb the Billboard charts very soon. Support Aluna’s brand new album below.

FYI | Why Krewella’s Billboard Op-Ed Missed The Mark
Posted by BIGLIFE on December 8, 2014
Every blog is talking about it. Earlier today, Jahan of Krewella released an exclusive Op-Ed via Billboard (with an insanely manipulative click-bait title) that addressed the recent lawsuit and breakup of EDM’s crossover supergroup. There real story here isn’t even the personally penned piece. It’s how Jake Udell continues to gain this kind of traction online for his clients, but I digress.
In the beginning of the Op-Ed, Jahan describes Krewella as “the most hated group in the electronic dance music scene” which isn’t far from the truth at the moment. It’s a shame considering their meteoric rise. However, it’s a lesson everyone should understand: perception is reality in the dance space. While the jury is still out on whether the sisters are responsible for pushing Kris out or not (we’re not making any claims either way) they have an image problem and it seems evident Krewella knows this. That’s why they posted this carefully calculated (tone-def) op-ed on Billboard today to quell some of the backlash.
