After one day of torrential rain, two days of ankle-deep mud, and countless ruined shoes, the third and largest incarnation of New York's Governors Ball Music Festival wrapped up last night with a headline set from Kanye West. Although West did treat the audience to some brand new Yeezus tracks — and also let everyone know know the album is coming out sooner rather than later because he "doesn’t give a fuck" about album sales — his set was mostly a compilation of crowd-pleasing hits and surprisingly cheesy visuals. Compared to Friday’s shortened sets and canceled [...]
The budding social networking site, Vine , has taken a life of it's own recently and an influx of DJ / producer users are beginning to surface. The quick 6 second clips can be looped, cut, and put together in an extremely tedious fashion or a more non-chalant first person view of a situation. Here's a brief description of the app thanks to Wiki , if you're not familiar. Vine is a mobile app that enables its [...]

MD Crew just added a bunch of artists to select dates. Among the culprits are Matt & Kim, Action Bronson, Flosstradamus, 3BALLMTY, Kito &Reija Lee, Anamanaguchi, et al. The bummer of the whole deal is, Brooklyn's event already sold the fuck out. If you're not in the know, 2013 marks the 5th year of Mad Decent Block Parties and the tradition is halfway between a festival and a tour -a few more events and it'll be pushing into Warped Tour territory. 7/19 - Calgary Major Lazer Zeds Dead [...]

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of spending the day with four fine French individuals by the name of Pitchin, Charlie, Thomas and Pho. It was a unique situation for two reasons: First, because when else does a girl get to spend the better part of a day out on the town with four hot French guys? In Paris, anytime. That’s when. But I live in California, and ethnic melting pot aside, that kind of thing doesn’t exactly happen everyday. So, even though I sincerely apologize to all of you male readers out there, you’ve got to give [...]

UK Based Jon Gooch, better known as Feed Me, announced on Twitter that he would stop DJing this fall, stating he didn’t want music making to to take the backseat to DJing. Beyond the music, Feed Me is well known for his intricate live visual displays. His mischievous set of teeth is a mesmerizing collaboration of his art combined with countless hours of coding to create a fully synced visual interpretation of his music. It’s a sad announcement, but without the music there would be no teeth and we commend Jon for keeping his priorities [...]

Another banger here from Not Some Kid's favourite young gun, Glitchcr4ft. The overall feel of the song is reminiscent of something Dillon Francis might create. The level to which this 15 year old producer is making these tracks is pretty astounding. Keep your eye on him for more releases this year.

Wouldn't be a surprise if Max Pote (aka Protohype) gets his goal of world domination a little sooner than later, especially with mixes like this. The "ShellShock" LP mix, created for you guessed it, the soon to be released ShellShock LP from Firepower Records for its 1 year anniversary contains so much good, unreleased stuff, I wish I could take over the world and make it available already. The mix opens up with "ID" (an unreleased track from Protohype himself ) that's perfect for summer jamming and already making some serious waves on Soundcloud. Just yesterday I heard [...]

A slightly different string of artists will be performing at each city, including Major Lazer, Flosstradamus, Baauer, Dillon Francis, RiFF RAFF, Zeds Dead, and others, with even [...]
Dillon Francis , Taco Bell-enthusiast and alleged Tiësto doppelgänger, has released his delightful moombahton remix to "Carried Away" as a free download, just as he did with his recent trap remix to Justin Timberlake's " Suit & Tie. " Reworking Passion Pit's summer anthem, Francis splices and transposes the vocals, accentuating the carefree vibe of the original with charismatic chords. The ensuing drop employs a feisty torrent of barking acid synths, and might just be one of the first (and best) well-known cases of acid moombahton. In regards to the tune, Francis remarked: "this and my suit and tie remix might be [...]
In our current musical landscape artists have been asked enough generic and standard questions to drown in and than drown some more. I felt it was time to switch it up and ask some off the wall questions for an off-the-wall kind of guy. That guy is Dillon Francis . On his webstore for only $499 dollars and 99 cents, he will have dinner with your mom or if your budget isn't that big for only $100.00 dollars he will bake you cookies. And if you have money to throw around for a cold $10,000 he will remix any [...]
As Summer approaches, I thought it would be a cool idea to share some of my favourite artists, and their top songs. Dillon Francis, or Dill Dill, produces some of the happiest, endorphin releasing music known to man, so I figured, 'Hey, why not start with Dilly'. So here it is, my personal view of [...]
