FYI | Your Favorite DJs Before They Made It Big

Posted by on August 1, 2013

Tiesto, Armin & Ferry

You have seen posts before by other blogs with pictures of DJs when they were little kids or even teenagers. That is cute and all, but here we want to show you when they were looking like goons, in that phase of their professional life they would probably rather forget, when they were young and reckless and not always ready for the camera. Some of them do look like they were born for the camera (see Fatboy Slim, Pete Tong & Carl Cox), but others: oh boy, let’s have some fun on this special Throwback Thursday. Before you move on, please bask in how goonish Tiesto, Armin and Ferry look in that picture. Armin had his law degree at that point. Imagine being represented in court by him; unreal.

Electro-House | TJR – What’s Up Suckaz

Posted by on July 22, 2013

TJR - What's Up SuckazThere are few who can survive working with Mr. Worldwide with their artistic reputation almost entire unscathed. TJR did just that because the tunes he makes are so unique to him, that you accept one chance to get paid and exposed to millions of new listeners like that. “What’s Up Suckaz” is his latest single on Chris Lake‘s Rising Music, a relationship that has worked very well for both parties, that evokes the style that we have grown fond of hearing from TJR. With a bouncy bass line, gritty, grinding saws and well placed vocal samples, this track is a unique cut and sure-fire hit in a climate where watered down hardstyle kicks and triplets are easiest road to mainstream dance music success for producers.

Albums, Videos | The Making Of Pretty Lights Color Map Of The Sun

Posted by on June 19, 2013

pretty-lights-a-color-map-of-the-sunThump followed around Pretty Lights over the past 2 years during the process in which he has been crafted and developed his upcoming artist album “Color Map Of The Sun”. It goes through his progression of working in two studios in Brooklyn and New Orleans, working with countless musicians and singers trying to capture the most organic, raw, soulful sound he could for his album. This time he did not want to go out and sample records, but rather he wanted to create the samples himself and it took over a year to do so, working with all analog machinery to distort and cut, giving it that sound of a past generation. As I finish this video, I have not been this excited for an album since RAM, and though that was only a month ago, this has the possibility to to inspire dance music in a similar way, going back to the roots of blues, hip hop, folk and rock, imbuing them with an electronic sound. Just take it from the man himself as he talked about his own album,

“I think something beautiful and timeless was created”

Does it seem like he is either always high, or just goofy like that? Those dance moves are a bit much at times, but you can see his passion. Also that kitty may just be cutest DJ cat around, sorry Mr Meowingtons and Mittens Francis.

DO SOMETHING

Progressive House | Moguai – Champs

Posted by on March 22, 2013

With already 3 huge releases under its belt this year, Size Records brings out its next weapon from German producer, Moguai, who is coming quick out of the gate this year with his chart topping release “Mammoth” and now this recently previewed release on Size. “Champs” provides a subtle toughness, much like that seen in “Mammoth”, while still remaining true to many of the melodic hallmarks we saw on his 2012 artist album “Mpire”. As the 99th release on Size Records, we have to hope that the 100th release during this 100 to 100 campaign will be something from Steve, possibly his collab with Matisse & Sadko.

Dubstep, Preview | FuntCase Ft. MIK – Don’t P*ss Me Off

Posted by on March 2, 2013

FuntCase - Don't P*ss Me Off feat. MIK

 

Those who are familiar with FuntCase know that he has barely made a dent in releases from his music vault. To my great pleasure, he is releasing an 8 track EP titled “Don’t P*ss Me Off,” on March 17th. Good old Saint Patrick’s Day. Today FuntCase released this clip of the EPs title track, and if this one track is any reflection of the EP we are in for a real treat. I love how FuntCase bounces around on this track to keep you interested, jumping from Dubstep to Drumstep with his classic popcorn bass and a few other filthy effects we love. There is mp3 of the track floating around, but it is a low quality  version for radio play. I highly recommend holding out for the official release because this track is just too good to taint like that.

Electro-House | Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Coone & Lil Jon – Madness

Posted by on January 31, 2013

This is what I would call the Showtek effect. Hardstyle has now become cool in electro house because they made some fat tracks. However that does not mean we will see hardstyle break into the mainstream because let’s be honest for most people hardstyle is like that one friend you have — you can hang out with with them in small doses, but too much and you are wondering why you liked it the first place. “Madness” involves a bit too much yelling albiet coherent yelling from Lil Jon and a ridiculous instrumental from the Belgian Djs, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike and hardstyle producer Coone combining big room interludes, hardstyle kicks and powerful synth leads that embody the title of the track. Coming off of an outstanding 2012 and with “Wakanda” on the way on Axtone, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike are making a push into the upper realm of the dance music elite.

Hip-Hop, Rap | Marc Goone – Real Cracker (prod. by Aaron Zuckerman)

Posted by on December 12, 2012

I’m not sure what golf course let Marc Gone film this provocative video, or let him anywhere near a putting green with pants like that, but wherever they are; we thank you. I often receive complaints such as: “not real hip-hop,” “this sux” or “Joseph I hate you so much you broke my heart in 8 different places I won’t ever be able to love again.” You guys need to take this video for what it is, it’s entertaining, and damn entertaining at that. Marc recruits some pretty girls, borrows a set of golf clubs, rents a BMW, and gets Aaron Zuckerman to make him a beat. If you aren’t entertained by this, well, keep scrolling. I’m sure we’ve got something to tickle your fancy.
