In conjunction with their “Crossing Wires” EP and full length compilation, My Favorite Robot are releasing a full length studio mix that’s indicative of the house, techno and nu disco sounds that make up the collection. The names of the Toronto trio are strong enough on their own (James Teej, Jared Simms and Voytek Koran), but the comp adds original tracks by the Revenge, Stefan Z, Inxec & Droog, Timo Maas, Tim Paris, Alan Fitzpatrick and more. Running at just over an hour, the mix slow burns for about the first 20-minutes until it opens up with Jonny [...]
There's a new Pet Shop Boys album, Electric , due out mid July and from the sound of their first single "Axis" (a rather awesome video was released at the end of April), the synth-pop champions are back in prime form. But you don't necessarily need to be a fan of the 802s band to enjoy this Boys Noize remix. Love the little acidic flourishes and nasty baseline. Tip of the hat to Mixmag for posting this up…good stuff, indeed. Follow Boys Noize on Facebook [...]

Among them was Demi Lovato , who brought fans a bunch of songs from her latest album Demi, including the above performance of "Give Your Heart a Break."

There are probably a ton of people waiting to work with Miley Cyrus , but there is one in particular who might get that chance.

Of all the things Justin Bieber can be accused of being, he can now add "cartoon" to that list. This evening, the Biebs will appear on an episode of The Simpsons per Rolling Stone in an episode titled "The Fabulous Faker Boy." Idolator previously reported on this last year , as Justin prepped his vocals back in 2012. Bieber will play himself, as Marge urges Bart to become more creative and attempt piano lessons.

While Chris Brown is blasting his ex Rihanna all over Twitter, she seems to be having the time of her life. HipHopWired put together a nice collection of flicks from Rih Rih's Instagram, showing the Roc Nation songstress getting crunk in New York City.

Apparently the business of knock-offs has wormed its way into the headphone market. BBC is reporting that fake Beats by Dr Dre headphones are among the most seized items over the past year. How much will the fakes cost you? About $20 US dollars or so. Trading Standards said it was the first time it had seen the mass production of counterfeit headphones. "It's a trend—Dr Dre is a leading headphone and that's what counterfeiters will go after." True that. How To Spot Fakes: • If the price [...]

Ok here we go with volume two of Rare Grooves and this time we are going down a completely different road. This was a 10-inch promo sent to us back in the BPM Magazine days (we were the founders, Rest In Peace BPM) and was super duper limited, like 500 copies worldwide or less. Ninja Tune did issue a repressing in 2000 using the same design and catalog number—but we have the original. Anywho... it's a pretty dope record that showcases the fun scratches and beats of the legendary Kid Koala who is still holding it down on [...]
At this point and time, I feel like Gent & Jawns is all I have to say. Once you see that name you should instantly know that an absolute huge track is about to grace your ears and move your body... or atleast that's what my instinctive reaction is. "COCO" is a fun track in the sense that it is nothing but a good time. From the hip shaking beat at the beginning, to the builds that get your heart rate up, to the massive bass that is infectious throughout the whole track, "COCO" is about to make you go [...]
