We will have a limited discount list [...]
The 3rd installment of the wave consists of some groovey jams that went over very well last friday when i played @ the Vanguard with Miike Snow. They are timeless, and sure to take you to your special place. Get these on your hardrive and make some sweet sweet love. If last weekend included And-1-ravin' in some sort of wacko outfit, these feel-good numbers should settle your post-Halloween juices nicely. "The Wave consists of hand-picked gems that inspire us, tickling and tempting our creative juices. Some are old, [...]
Our good friend and Producer Tim Nelson AKA BetaTraXx , Electro-House producer, has added an element of hard acoustic percussion to his live set with drummer Nick Gross to form a union described as "More rock than GirlTalk, more flow than Milkman, and more talent than Pretty Lights." ( Westbeach Review ) At a time when electronic music is snowballing with popularity, this electro-acoustic act brings a unique element of unpredictability and visual spectacle that astonishes audiences in all aspects without fail. [...]
Guns In the Sun foreword: It's truly difficult to describe this new young group that seemed to appear out of nowhere onto the Los Angeles music scene. With the band average age being 22 years old, the only conclusions anyone seems to be able to reach is that they are young and fearless. The band's unique ambivalence to a particular genre, raw musical talent and vast music taste leaves most people struggling to think of another band to compare them to; most end up with something along the lines [...]
LDN This Saturday our pals at Pelski are throwing a mammoth night at Counter Culture underneath London Bridge in association with Jackmode .

Room 1 Hosted by Jackmode Christian Martin ( Turbo / Dirtybird ) Zombie Disco Squad ( Made To Play ) Solo ( [...]
Last Wednesday I was lucky enough to attend DJMag 's Top 100 DJs award ceremony at London's highly acclaimed Ministry of Sound . I've never seen a club so rammed, as thousands flooded the streets, in line to catch sets from some of the world's top acts. Afrojack opened up the second room, with a pretty tight two hour dutch house set, but the vast majority were there to find out who'd be crowned the world's number 1 DJ. Armin Van Buuren received the award for the fourth time in consecutive years, [...]
The Caligula dudes have been on a quite a tear since I first featured them a few months ago. They just wrapped up a remix for Swedish House Mafia's 'Miami2Ibiza' , which will be officially released by the 3 man superteam along with their DVD ' Take One ' out November 22. They're giving away their wobbly remix of French babe Uffie 's ADD SUV fo free, so crank it up and go steal some candy from trickortreaters because we all know that candy tastes so much better when you're all [...]
Halloween is approaching fast and what better way to finish off your Friday night than with two of electro's scariest producers: Cheap Thrill's Fake Blood and Huoratron (whose beard could hold its on against Brian Wilson's).

The first reader (21+ only plz) to send an email to tronjeremy at gottadancedirty dot com naming Fake Blood's two side projects will score a pair of tickets to the [...]

We were lucky enough to catch a quick five with Maya, a rising star who at only 22 years old [...]

Happy almost Halloween! It's that time of year when girls dress with less, guys try to come up with some type of clever yet relevant costume, and 'candy' takes on a far different meaning than when you were munchin' those Reese's at 10pm after a serious trick or treating session in the 3rd grade. Well dirty dancers, let me tell you that this Friday will be like no other CONTROL event that you have ever been to. The San Franciscan label known as dirtybird will be doing a full takeover of the [...]

This kid can do no wrong. The up and coming phenom, Porter Robinson , has recently collaborated with electro house expert Lazy Rich to create yet another dancefloor smasher. The track is a perfect amalgam of soothing vocals, hands in the air moments, and downright dirty drops.
