2012 is widely to predicted to be the year that the world embraces MOOMBAHTON! And LA-based producer, Valentino Khan, does it with swag. He's got a filthy filthy sound that borders on moobahcore, but he does it in a way that is, if nothing else, quite spiffy, throwing together the darkest dubstep drops with the bounciest of tribal tiki-torch ticks and the funkiest of moombah-drums. He makes jaw-dropping spastic moombahton, straight seizure music, but in way that is entirely danceable and accessible to even the biggest lightweights. With support from Mad Decent as well as the biggest names in EDM, [...]

I don't know if you caught today's killer college game of Duke vs. North Carolina, but here's what rookie Austin Rivers, yes, Doc Rivers, Boston Celtics head coach, son did today. Duke Freshman Guard Austin Rivers makes a game winning 3-pointer at the buzzer to lead Duke to the road upset of North Carolina. River scored a career-high 29 points, including six 3-pointers.
Wistful, soulful disco master, Aeroplane, hailing from Belgium is heading West this February. Having one of the most progressively retro sounds in the game today, Aeroplane makes music that brings to light the lushest of disco and the funkiest of 802s electronica in a fresh, new way. It's passionate, cheerful, and sassy, described by the man himself as invoking a certain "sad happiness," like a smile in a rainstorm. In anticipation for his US tour as well as a celebration for his 'In Flight Entertainment' DJ mix, we caught up with Aeroplane for a quick interview about his sound, his [...]
Born and raised in Northern France, the wild-haired musical wizard, Sam Tiba, has been producing electronic grooves for just a few years, but has already made a name for himself for having one of the most unique, enchanting sounds out there. With a background in all things hip hop peppered with some dubstep and an education in Ancient Languages, he takes what he's learned, mixes it all together and creates music that fulfills all of your basal fantasies. He prides himself in making sounds that "just exhale otherworldliness" with twinkly low bpm dreamtime grooves combined with subtle vocal tracks and [...]
West from Nashville, Cherub, has been releasing tunes for only a few years, but have already made quite the name for themselves. Signed to Elm & Oak Records, they make soulful, synth-pop jams, playful heartbreak music, heartbeat music that's crafted honestly different. It's like synth satin for your ears, but with a cool 802s bounce that promotes movement and ease simultaneously, it's music with sass and lucidity that'll have you grinning ear to ear. In anticipation for the release of their new album, MoM & DaD, the duo has released a high-energy, vibrant little single known as "Doses and Mimosas." [...]
A far-cry from American dubstep, but still incredibly familiar, Dead C.A.T. Bounce out of Luxembourg are two very young producers who are taking bass music and adding some melodious filth. Over the past years they have been releasing strait unrequited grime and the majority of it for free and who doesn't love free tracks? Especially when they're this well-produced! The music is high energy and mature, especially for how young these guys are, with electric bass wobbles and magnetic grind. We were lucky enough to catch up with these two up and comers for a quick interview. - [...]
One of my personal favorite artists and kickass progressive bass champion, Feed Me, is hitting the road with his first headline tour. In tow, will be about a 20 ft wide smirking LED mouth complete with sharp teeth and sinister eyes, all the better to eat you with! Get your tickets soon, I'll be there March 17th celebrating the reopening of The Music Box with some seriously succulent bass wobbles. What You Know (Feed Me Cover) - Two Door Cinema Club [...]
After first bonding over their love of groovy retro jams in a UK club, on an empty dancefloor, the Paris-based coed duo, Jupiter, started on their own musical journey to bring back the funk, only this time with all of the futuristic twinkles and glitter that comes with making electronic music in this fine day and age. However, that is not to say that it's all future-funk and nu disco for these two, they are keytar toting retro-rangers, existing somewhere between the past and the forthcoming, between disco and house, making high-energy danceable jams that'll keep the floor full all [...]
A few months back, UK-based mellow hip hop producer and master of the refix, Star Slinger, dropped a wispy, glittery little ditty known simply as, "Dumbin." Well, he's back, and this time he's brought some unexpected friends along, namely Juicy J and Project Pat, obviously, of the Three 6 Mafia. Can't believe it? I couldn't either. However, the song actually has a certain floaty charm, with melodic synths, trickling drums, and very traditional-style horns. Juicy J and Project Pat are very reserved with flows that are clear, concise, and original. Get down to it! Chain Dumbin [...]
Brooklyn-based, South African, bass legend, MartyParty is at it again. This time with a full length album, "Six Shots of Jameson," locked and loaded to fully evangelize his mission of creating the perfect combination of hip hop infused bass music. He's out to create fresh beats, that really tell a story, that take the listener on a journey of appreciation for the subtleties and electricity that can come from narratively structured bass music. This album will be MartyParty like we have never experienced before, out to create, experiment, and destroy previous conceptions. " [...]
Maybe you have to speak the language to really dig these totally whacky Nederbiet songs... all I know is that I find them totally irresistable. The Softs wear purple pants and grow their hair long, something daddy doesn't like at all, while N.V. Group 65 travels all the way to Morocco to buy that devil weed. Meanwhile, the Dukes go wild in a bar in Turkey, and The Mokum Beat Five (from my native city Amsterdam, a.k.a. Mokum) issues a stern warning against marriage. Wonder what my non-Dutch readers think. Softs - Paarse Broek [...]
It's no secret that when a music savvy soul thinks LA, they immediately think nasty, heavy electro, I like to call this the Steve Aoki syndrome. However, Los Angeles is far more multi-faceted when it comes music genre's and as of late amazing artists like Josh Legg through his new project, Goldroom, have been making noise with something, well, a little bit quieter. Legg, originally of the synthpop trio, Night Waves , is off on his own now creating a tropical dreamscape that is nothing, if not, soothing to the mind's eye. His knack for combing twinkling synths with [...]
The Nth Degree Teaser Video - OVERWERK Lately, Canada has been churning out some serious talent, with sounds that are both heavy in style and progressive in technicality. Ontario's OVERWERK is no exception developing a traditional electro sound with a fresh and buzzier twist. He has been coming out with electro house bangers and remixes since Summer of 2010, bringing in French Touch influences to create complex songs that are intricate, airy, and incredibly danceable. Like a tiny LED bee "buzzin" just outside your ear drum, flooding it with both good vibes and electro grind. Come November 30th [...]

Interview: Bart B More In the Electronic Music scene today the artists that stand out most are those who cannot be easily genre-defined. Down from the Netherlands, the dirty dutch drummaster, Bart B More, makes music that just can't be pinned down. Bart goes hard with earsplitting bass and uncompromising drums, he grinds with his own original brand of loopy electro synths, but at any time he can smooth it all out with a funky discohouse bassline and a crackly upbeat twang. Put simply, Bart can do it all; he's collaborated with the likes of Drop the Lime, [...]

As you readers probably remember, we released a free download (right click and "save as") of Luke Da Duke's in our first article about the bass music prodigy on Tuesday, and now we have a full 3-track EP [...]
Church Of Noise - The Bloody Beetroots Ft. Dennis Lyxzén It's been awhile since we've heard anything from the Death Crew 1977, but thank the rock gods Rifo is back and he's got a new friend, Dennis Lyxzén, Swedish hardcore punker and frontman of Refused and The International Noise Conspiracy. They're new project, "Church of Noise," is a fullblown movement, it's message is opaque and conspiracy-ridden, but generally it is believed that Rifo is out to push boundaries, the boundaries of hardcore and electro, the boundaries of dark imagery and positive messages, the boundaries between dreams and reality, [...]
The Duke Westlake Cypher was put on, featuring many from the Knocksteady crew, as a way for the rappers to all flow over the same beat produced by Duke and then to call out the next rapper creating sort of a YouTube competition. Intuition was most recently featured, you can watch him kill it below, but also check out the others Dumbfoundead, The Palmer Squares, Traphik, and coming soon George Watsky. Up first was Dumfoundead: Then The Palmer Squares: [...]

Alongside that mission we have also launched our own label with the goal of presenting to the world talent that is sealed with our stamp of approval and more importantly, pioneers who will take the EDM we know and love and push it into new interesting dimensions, forging the future of the genre and the industry as a whole. You've heard of Kid Alien and Starchild , but today it is my [...]
Mike Posner has been on the blog before. Don't believe me? Just search above and you'll find a dope Coldplay cover. Yes I just used dope and Coldplay cover in the same sentence… Anywho, Mike is from Michigan and intelligent at that. A graduate of Duke University with a GPA of 3.59, damn son. I dig his covers and remixes and so you get to enjoy the few songs below as a result. Rocket Man - Mike Posner ft Bun B - Even Elton John isn't safe from Mr. Posner. Mike [...]
