Recently, there has been a lot of talk about the 'state' of certain music 'scenes', whether it's growing trends or mainstreamization of certain sounds. As always, the message from this dojo is to chill and stay worry-free. While the saturation of particular genres and sounds may cause some to despair, there will always be artists pushing creative boundaries and providing innovation in their music. These are the people we look to highlight and celebrate in this playlist, who enable us to experience chill feelings with fresh sounds and good vibes. A producer who does just that is London's [...]

This song makes me feel like Selena Gomez in Spring Breakers after she made-love to Gucci Mane. posted by @clarkbs

Last week Bixel Boys unleashed this massive edit of Duke Dumont and Jeffrey Jerusalem that we immediately picked up then forgot to post about until just now. All we've got to say is, hot damn! This is deep, dark, sweaty and exactly the type of track you can rely on to carry you into a successful weekend. It's that peak hours cut that gets everybody onto a whole new level, and the perfect tune for that 4am-but-still-going-strong vibe, all rolled into one shiny tech house package. Scoop this one up without a second thought, [...]
Seth Bogart from Hunx and His Punx has always had a good sense of humor about fashion, and his new store Wacky Wacko (also a record label) might be one of his best creations yet. ... read more

Might Ciara now finally officially be on the "comeback trail" with "Body Party" ? Looking at the all the positive reactions that met the single when it dropped a few months back and the track quickly climbing up the charts to become her first Top 10 R&B Billboard hit since 20102s "Ride" (not to mention the many instances we've seen of various-aged females-of the ratchet vein and not-attempting to recreate the accompanying video 's seductive choreography), it appears so. Montreal's Kid Masterpiece , who has been on a [...]

Let's start off first by apologizing. Last week we had some technical difficulties, and unfortunately couldn't provide you with a banging party playlist to carry you through your weekend's festivities. We're sorry. As you've seen in the past, we like to beef up a party playlist the week after we missed one. With that in mind, we have for you a larger than usual selection of rage inducing tracks. So lace up your drinking shoes (which should also be your dancing shoes), grab a pint of Fireball and get after it! And, no. Fireball is not an official sponsor of [...]
It didn't quite rack up Christmas numbers (yet?), but Michael Buble 's latest set of perky pop-jazz tunes and standards, To Be Loved , still managed to debut at #1 on the Billboard 200 after selling 195,000 copies in its first week. The album contains current single "It's A Beautiful Day" as well as covers of "Something Stupid" (a duet with sometimes-songstress Reese Witherspoon , no less), "To Love Somebody" and "Have I Told You Lately." Over on the Hot 100, Pink [...]

Earlier today, I got on the hotline and spoke with the Thrower of Body Parties, Giver of Fantasy Rides and all-around Crunk-R&B Queen herself, Ciara. You know, as one does. Why? Well, I wanted to talk about her upcoming record Ciara , obviously—but mostly because I had to get to the bottom of this whole "He Reads" business from the "Body Party" video. I also wanted to know why she's apparently featured on her own song ("Super Turnt Up"). Oh, and to demand that "Overdose" [...]

Slava P invented Krav Maga. What's the fastest way to become relevant after suffering through a popularity drought that's taken hold of your career since 2005? In Ciara's case, it's as easy as riding on the coattails of the most popular act of 2013. And since most of the GBE kids were still riding tricycles when Goodies came out, and her lead single with 2Chainz inexplicably failed to work, the next logical choice was Nayvadius Future Cash. In a mastermind chess move overseen by LA Reid, Ciara has traded in her high tempo [...]
So last night we went to a recording studio in New York to hang out with multi-platinum recording artist/ Very Turnt Up Person Ciara and a few other journalists and some people from her label and her boyfriend Future (who is both better dressed and cooler than any of us could ever aspire to be) while taking a first listen to her fifth studio album, Ciara . And good news: It's good! In fact, it's great. It might be our favorite Ciara album to date. That's a relief, because it's no secret that this [...]
