It appears that Empire Of The Sun have had their first single 'Alive' remixed by the queen of EDM cheeseballs David Guetta drawing outrage from their fans. "I dont wanna live on this planet anymore.." "Great, David Guetta ruins another song" "What a mess.... this is real bad crap..." "Time to stop following Empire of the Sun...this is not what I expected." Although we deem the track to be not too bad, we don't believe Empire Of The Sun aligning themselves with the homogeneous commercial EDM group as something that matches their creative [...]

Boys Noize has sensationally remixed the legendary Pet Shop Boys in the lead up to their fourth coming album titled 'Electric' . The album that is set to launch on July 12th 2013 will herald their 12th studio album and the first single off it is 'Axis'. The largely raucous and 802s synth pop driven track has had a further techno work out by Boys Noize adding his acid twist on the number. I think Boys Noize's remix is better than the original because it's [...]

You may remember some time back I got rather excited about an upcoming collaboration between TOKiMONSTA and the truly legendary Ultramagnetic MCs founder Kool Keith . Well the wait is finally over as TOKiMONSTA's 'Half Shadows' LP has been released and we now have news we will be treated to an EP of remixes of the collaboration. It's become more and more standard for producers to blend half a dozen different styles and genres into just one track, so much so that the initial impact of TOKiMONSTA's decision to mix half-step, [...]

Si terranno stasera 19 maggio e domani 20 maggio 2013 i due concerti dei One Direction in Italia. E le Directioners non stanno più nella pelle "Ma era così anche con I Take That e con i Backstreet Boys?" Ogni tanto mi sorge questa domanda quando mi accorgo di quanto i One Direction siano sempre più amati, cercati, idolatrati e sognati dalle loro giovani fan. No, non era così. I tempi erano diversi, mancava Twitter, mancavano i social network e YouTube. Con le due band appena [...]

Though revered primarily by the underground, Moore is remembered by many for his collaborations with Daft Punk on their 2001 [...]
