She is best known for her influence on today's batch of female singers, her roles in ' The Bodyguard ' and ' Waiting To Exhale ' and, sadly, a controversial marriage to singer Bobby Brown. Of late, [...]

After the wild success of the last Anomaly, with Porter Robinson and Bass Jackers fronting the bill, the show returns to Terminal 5 on Saturday, March 31st. With an awesome lineup that features EO favorite Pierce Fulton, Laidback Luke, Martin Solveig, and a rare NYC appearance by Felguk , this night is sure to be massive.

Last September, the Swedish House Mafia took over Pete Tong's duties at his Essential Selection show and put on, as expected, a memorable performance. The accidental comedic genius of the three Swedes was one thing, but the exclusive music they previewed was another. They debuted a few of the songs that became the sound track of the fall of 2011. Spinning the, then, unreleased ' Walking Alone ,' ' Raise Your Head ' and ' Otherside ' Third Party remix, among others. So, they're back and if there was ever [...]

Spring break and great weather is always a plus and there's no reason why this won't be a widely talked about event for people to check out while on vacation in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. The first stage of the line up consists Paul Oakenfold, Savoy, Morgan Page, Arty, Tim Mason, [...]

Techno and house DJ Carl Cox recently said in an interview with Time Out London that he, "was playing dubstep three years before anyone even decided to call it dubstep, but [he] never got known for playing that style. [He doesn't] mind the now generation being seen as the pioneers, but there had to be a Carl Cox pushing the doors open for these guys." The statement has been causing a pretty huge stir within the dubstep scene, provoking comments (mostly jokes) from the likes of many so-called 'now generation' producers: [...]

We wrote late Friday that Levels would be the soundtrack to the commercial, but its now confirmed that Avicii himself, in a flannel and beanie, shows his face. WOW.

'Levels,' after it's countless trips around the world, it's hip hop debut , and stint on HBO, is coming to the Super Bowl. Avicii leaked the trailer on his Facebook late Friday evening. Murmurs of 'Levels' (EO's No. 1 song of 2011) can be heard during the voice over. It's not known whether Mr. Bergling will actually be in the commercial. But it's fun to toy with the idea that the camera could be panning over to him [...]

I was pretty bummed when Martin Lopez left Opeth midway through the Ghost Reveries album cycle. But, the guy had a bunch of personal demons to deal with and needed time off the road. Well, it looks like he's cleaned up and had enough time to get his shit together so much so that he ...

Axwell won't be alone at Hammerstein Ballroom. Today, it was confirmed that NO_ID, Thomas Gold & Deniz Koyu will be the symphony around him for his Feb. 23 and 24 show.
