The Grammys are this Sunday and if memory serves me right, the general sentiment is kind of "blah" compared to previous years. It use to be an honor to perform, but now you have artists declining (Bon Iver) the opportunity. Adele will win > 2 Grammys and the Beach Boys playing with Foster the People smells kind of desperate. Who knows, Katy Perry might actually go home with an award or Skrillex might be selected as Best New Artist? Kaskade // Deadmau5 - Move For Me (TABS Remix) [...]
Fort Knox Five is neither from Kentucky nor a quintet. They're a group of four dj/producer/musician's from DC. Steve Raskin, Jon Horvath, Rob Myers, and Sid Barcelona are all formidable on their own. Together it's just ridiculous. I first came across them from vinyl. I first came across them via vinyl. In the form of a Bob Marley remix. It's a must spin in any set. Without further ado, Funk the World Mix 02. Funk the World Mix 02 - Fort Knox Five = MP3 [...]

Filed under: Video , Exclusive The song 'Shift' by the Fort Knox Five is pretty infectious all by itself, but the video is simply out of this world -- almost literally. The next-level special effects, animation and surreal cinematography aren't groundbreaking by accident -- they're the result of months of hard work and intensive labor by a team of technicians. While the song itself was conceived last year during the President Obama's inaugural ceremonies, the video fittingly represents a new chapter for what is possible to [...]
