There's always the excitement of new Music Ninja programs we're launching, plans of grandeur for the upcoming year, new album releases, and of course, music festivals. We're just out of the gate for 2013, and we have to say, we're really stoked for what lies ahead. First up on our list of festivals is the largest electronica festival in North America. The setting is perfect, as Miami is already a hub for the scene. But when you take the party outside, onto Bayfront [...]
[top_post_splash num="16"] The rise of trap music from the underground to mass appeal is quite fascinating. With its roots in Dirty South rap, trap was already a familiar sound with the youth of America and as it grew more popular we saw it mingle with other EDM genres like moombahton, big room house, and even hardstyle. This chart showcases the genre's leading pioneers that carved out its evolution in 2012.

Dance music's presence in last year's Grammy awards was undeniable, marking the first time a DJ had been nominated for the Best New Artist category. The DJs and producers who were big in our world had finally crossed over into mainstream relevance by way of Skrillex's five nominations and three wins . This year, Skrillex received three nods, each in the categories he won last year. Diplo's nomination for Best Producer is also an accolade that is long overdue. Only three highly-recognizable dance music artists were nominated in 2012, but this time around there's a much [...]

First of all, I know I'm a horrible blogger for barely posting anything in the past month. But what can I say? I was super busy from hearing all these crazy festivals hitting Toronto this summer! I hope my readers will be stopping by to this beautiful (and crazy) city to check out the numerous concerts that are brought to you by fellow music promoters. Within just one month, four major new festivals were announced through social networks with some of the biggest international DJ's and Producers headlining it. Toronto is used to having to accommodate weekly [...]

![[REMIX] Usher – “Climax (Kaskade Remix)”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4238996_lg.jpg)
love is the cloud that keeps raining down ♫ Usher - Climax (Kaskade Remix) If there was one dude I kept hearing about at Coachella it was Kaskade. The guy seems to be taking over the world and fair enough because any DJ cool enough to release their whole Coachella set for free download is good in my book. It doesn't hurt that he just whipped this year's ultimate slow burner into a bit more of a bonfire frenzy. Any good climax is preceded by highs and lows, ups and downs, and [...]

Kaskade jumps on the production for remixing "Climax," released by Diplo and Usher a few weeks back. Firing up the tempo of the track with high energy of his sound, Kaskade smoothly blends his additional production under Usher's lyrics. Download: "Climax" Kaskade Remix

You knew this was going to happen. Usher & Diplo’s “Climax” is already one of the most popular song's of the year. Which meant that a EDM producer would get his/her hands on it and turn it into a club banger. Well, Kaskade jumps in first and refashions Usher’s R&B return a massive EDM club smash. Check it out! Electronic dance music, House, Electro, Disco, Progressive, Tech, Dance, club banger, DJing, Parties, EDM

Kaskade has made Usher and Diplo's track 'Climax' further more uplifting with a tight remix. In all seriousness I love most of this song! Apart from the stereotypical dutch/swedish chorus that is a predictable proddy full sounding flow. Usher's vocals when isolated with the distorted/saturated singular synth and raw cymbals is the best part. take a looksidoodle Download Diplo feat. Usher - Climax (Kaskade Remix) 192 Written by wow
