After working in the electronic music scene for quite some time now, I have seen so many acts so many times that occasionally the repetition of over-saturated artists in Los Angeles can create a strong sense of redundancy. But now, with the emergence of the VS. party in Santa Monica, GDD™ and DANCEiSM have vowed to bring the West Side of Los Angeles a breath of fresh air by trying to insert exciting, top notch acts that will smash all notions of duplication. With this in mind, we are very proud to be hosting our second [...]

The time has come for The Magician to stand on his own. Forget the past. Everyone knows the story: a duo at the height of their popularity choose to go solo...it was the biggest shocker of a break up since Wham! But that story has already been told time and time again. So much so that the disbanded duo won't even get name checked in this post. Because this year, it's all about Stephen Fasano , aka The Magician . 2011 is now his time to [...]

Insomniac and Go Ventures did it again! Together As One boasted a festival to remember, which it certainly was.

This year I wanted to get the full [...]
The beautiful love child of 80's Chicago warehouse parties and the Roland TB-303, acid house is one of the defining sounds of electronic dance music's history. With Boys Noize Record's forthcoming SUPER ACID Compilation only a few short weeks away I've decided to give you dirty dancers a four-part listening lesson on some acid house classics, each volume complete with one throwback track and one recent release for your aural pleasure. This week's classic from 1987 is the granddaddy acid track of all acid tracks, mainly because it's [...]
A few months back we featured the collaboration of Martin Solveig and Dragonette's lead chica vocalist "Hello," a fun dance track for sure. But with the official release of the remix package to come out on the 18th, the Dada Life boys have proved that they can take a club track from happy to smash. Whenever I hear a dada life remix I immediately imagine the original track being produced in a studio only to be hit out of no where with a barrage of bottles of champagne and and [...]

In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this mix with some fresh material as well as a couple of oldies in there for good measure: [...]
