La vorágine de especulaciones terminó y el cónclave organizador del Corona Capital 2013 reveló de manera muy original el cartel oficial de este año mediante un video en reversa que develó una a una todas las bandas que la Ciudad de México verá tocar en vivo.
In the late 90s and early 2000s, electronic music experienced a brief but influential revival on US airwaves, championed by the big beat sounds of Fatboy Slim, The Chemical Brothers, The Prodigy and others - each of whom's aggressive approach to dance music took our popular culture by storm.

The charm of this era of dance music speaks to most dance music fans - it sparks nostalgia [...]

The Crystal Method , the Los Vegas-based, Grammy Award-winning electronic duo, have been forced to push back the release of their new studio album, and a number of upcoming tour dates have been canceled, as co-founder Scott Kirkland continues to recover from brain surgery. As Kirkland explained in a lengthy statement issued to fans, he began to experience painful headaches a few months.

He had surgery on April 11th, 2013 and [...]
The Crystal Method's Scott Kirkland (pictured right) has issued a statement revealing that he has undergone brain surgery, resulting in the delay or cancellation of the band's fifth album and tour dates. No tumor was found but doctors did find a benign posterior fossa arachnoid cyst. News of Kirkland's health scare comes after New York DJ/producer Peter Rauhofer succumbed to a brain tumor. “Many months ago I started experiencing short, but painful headaches. Thinking they were related to too many flights (or one too many flights of tequila), I didn’t think too much about it, [...]
Get you V-Tech and NOS ready 'EDM' fans, the dance world is set to meet car culture on the new Fast and Furious 6 soundtrack!

EDM News: On February 2nd of this year, The LA Times published an article detailing the drug-related deaths of 14 people who attended dance music events.

Así que he preparado una lista con las que considero las principales innovaciones en cuanto a materia de producción musical y DJing se refiere de 2012, [...]

What the hell happened last week between DJ Sneak and Tommie Sunshine on Twitter? Within the blink of a tweet the two DJs squared off and threw down on the social media network in a heated exchange.

Regular readers of Big Shot will remember that in March, Sneak, the self-described House Gangster, got into a bitter Twitter feud with Swedish House Mafia's Steve Angello over [...]
