Events | Feed Me Brings The Teeth To Terminal 5

Posted by on September 3, 2014

feed me terminal 5

When you kick off a tour, you want to do it with a bang. Picking NYC for your city and Terminal 5 as your venue is a great way to kick things off not just me as a biased observer being from the area, but also with its size and impact on dance music. Terminal 5 has one of the best sound systems in the city and that was evident on this night. The low end was so strong during the show that the hairs on my body did not sit still for a second that he was playing. Not sure how the kids up front handled it (lots of drugs probably), but it was one of the most intense bass experiences I have felt, but with the clarity of Terminal 5’s speakers it was easy to take in.

Posted by on May 22, 2014

Facebook | SoundCloud | Twitter

Dave Edwards drops his electro-pop touch on Kentö’s “Complicated” and packaged it all up in the form of a video for your listening and viewing pleasure. The more I listen to this remix I can only imagine the fun Dave must’ve had making this track in the studio, it’s so funky, and glitchy, it’s impossible not to feel! Mr. Edwards doesn’t release many remixes but when he does, you know you’re in for treat. I’ll let you tell it. This is a must listen!

Moombahton | Making Movies – Lo Que Quiero (Secret Sauce Remix)

Don’t get me wrong – I’ve been digging a lot of the more popular genre choices by artists today. With that in mind though, there are a lot of styles I really wish would make a comeback – especially Moombahton. Hot out of the studio with a remix of Making Movies’ “Lo Que Quiero,” the homies over at Secret Sauce have begun their own quest in raising the Dave Nada-inspired sound from the dead; and they seem to have done a pretty damn good job, knocking out a chilled track with clean reggaeton vibes. Shout out to our friends at Do Androids Dance for snagging the exclusive on this one – looks like we missed out.

Progressive House | Tiësto – Red Lights

Posted by on December 18, 2013

We are seeing a trend here with dance music stars. Now that the biggest and most important music market in the world has bought in to dance music, DJs want a piece of the very lucrative pop pie. This is convenient because pop music is going in the dance direction, notably since the inroads made by Guetta with his tracks in the late 2000s, but it also requires DJs to meet the pop scene half way.

Hits like “Alive”, “Clarity” and “Get Lucky” didn’t sound engineered for radio, but ended up there anyway, but recently tracks like Afrojack’s “The Spark”, Armin van Buuren’s “This Is What It Feels Like”, Ferry Corsten’s “Many Ways” and now “Red Lights” all demonstrate the move to try and appeal to much wider audience. DJs no longer want to be the anonymous guy in the corner spinning tracks, they want to be brands, superstars and with commercial, crossover appeal coming easier every day, you can expect that to become more and more the norm.

The song is incredibly catchy and destined for radio; undoubtably its original purpose. It is the first of three singles from Tiësto’s upcoming album signed to Universal set for release next year. It will be his first album since “Kaleidoscope” back in 2010, so expect something very different. You can get a sneak peak at the process behind it including his producers Matt Nash & Dave Silcox in the studio, and how tracks were chosen on the fifth episode of In The Booth.

Hip-Hop, Rap | G4SHI – No Favors (Prod. Myles William)

Free Download: G4SHI – No Favors (Prod. Myles William)

Facebook | SoundCloud | Twitter

The homie Myles William never stops working, whether he’s in the studio with Reefa and Irv Gotti producing records for the likes of Ja Rule, Maino, French Montana, and more, he also takes the time to work with up and coming artists like Brooklyn Albanian rapper G4shi. “No Favors” is a dark hip-hop record where G4shi vents of not doing favors for anyone anymore, explicitly saying “real friends don’t count favors,” ever since his small come up. Big up Myles, keep blessing us with dope beats, and working with talented MCs. This is a must listen and a must download!

Pop, Videos | Timeflies – SMFWU [Live]

After lighting up the country with their Warning Signs tour, Timeflies will be back in the studio, clocking the hours (pun intended) for their debut full length album.  I can’t speak first hand on every tour stop, but based on their performance in Boston, it’s without question the level of production going into each and every one of their live shows has skyrocketed since the last time I saw them.  Lights, fog, more lights, huge sound, energy, live freestyles, and much more of everything on an even larger scale.

The video above is a compilation, chopped up and blended together by Mike O’Brien Films, of several live performances of their radio ready single, “SMFWU”.  Without question a fan favorite anthem off of their recent EP, Warning Signs, but this visual gives you an idea of how live these shows get.

Grab the EP below and check out a few photos from Timeflies homecoming show in Boston.
