DJ Craze : Official | Facebook | Twitter - Knocksteady : Official I remember a couple months ago DJ Craze was in town for Expansion and I saw somewhere online that he was doing a video/podcast for Knocksteady. After seeing him live later on that evening at Expansion I totally forgot about the video he did. Low and behold insomnia + the internet + youtube = memory jump. So here's the video + podcast that I was waiting for, but completely blanked out on and forgot to even search/share. [...]

We began to delve into the technical side of DJing with our DJing Made Easy feature, and we plan to expand our coverage of the production side of this business. In that technical spirit, we attended the NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants) Show in Anaheim, CA earlier this month, which crams over 1,441 exhibitors into the West coast's largest convention center. While there was no shortage of new kit on display from companies like Numark, Pioneer, Avid, and Novation, one of the biggest trends from the show was the multitude of DJ solutions for the iPad. Think this device is just for media [...]
Tinkling. No, it's not what you're thinking. That's how "Pioneers", the title track off of The Lighthouse and the Whaler's upcoming EP begins…with a beautiful tinkling quickly laced and injected with electronic sounds that put me in sunny day territory with a floppy hat and a beach ball. The track is tightly crafted - it feels like it's own joyride through rolling hills of green and skies of blue; always driving, building into something memorable. I can see the commercial licensing dudes scrambling to secure the rights as we speak. Connect: Facebook [...]

doris norton - "a.d.a. converter" (download) While Doris Norton 's music doesn't technically sound "groundbreaking" by today's standards, it was certainly very much ahead of its time when she was recording this experimental electronic/borderline electro music in the early 802s. This release, Personal Computer, came out in 1984. What makes her even cooler? She was sponsored by Apple AND Roland .

Vrijdagochtend begon dag drie van ADE. In de Balie begonnen we met een presentatie over Pitchfork , een van de belangrijkste muzieksites, dankzij hun ratings en jarenlange relevantie. Chris Kaskie vertelde over de achtergrond, dat Pitchfork vernoemd is naar een tattoo van Tony Montana uit Scarface, en hoe ze werken. Pitchfork heeft zo'n 30 medewerkers, werkt veel met freelancers en staat geen commentaar toe. Ze faciliteren het gesprek dat ergens anders plaatsvindt. Een bijzondere gedachte in deze tijd. Daarnaast vertelt hij dat ze langzaam willen groeien ("I don't want to sit on a rocket but on a boat") en [...]

DJ Miss Nine (Photo by Marc Deurlo for Pioneer Benelux) Miss Nine is een progressive house DJ die ik al een jaar of 8 volg, sinds ik haar de eerste keer zag draaien op een obscuur lustrum feestje in de kelder van een schoolgebouw ergens bij station Amsterdam Amstel (de kenner weet dan waar ik het dan over heb). Miss Nine, oorspronkelijk uit Duitsland maar al sinds haar 16de woonachtig in Amsterdam, was toen als DJ nog niet heel erg lang aan de slag. Wel had ze met haar 18/19 jaar toen ook al [...]

Dit weekend is het jaarlijkse Amsterdam Dance Event. Het is een 'international conference and festival for electronic music' en daar moet ik natuurlijk bij zijn. De meesten kennen het festival vanwege de feestjes. Daarmee is niets teveel gezegd, want die zijn er. En veel! Zo'n 200 feesten door de hele stad met vrijwel alle belangrijke DJ's en producers uit de dancewereld. Als Delegate (want dat ben ik, ik heb een kaartje gekocht) kan ik naar het hele festival en naar alle feestjes. En dat levert veel op. Zo ben ik woensdag begonnen met een keynote van Topspin over [...]

Would you care to introduce yourself? My name is Steven Cossar and I make music as Pioneers Of Anaesthetic How would you describe the music you make? If I'm trying to describe it, I tend to come out with stupid stuff like, "Short songs for a long attention span", or "Cyclical bedroom FM folk-pop", but I guess I just make home-recorded stuff with obvious influences, but I try and approach the structure and arrangements a [...]

We're taking a trip back to 91 with today's classic and it's one of the standout moments from the Rising High back catalogue. Caspar Pound was the driving force behind the label and The Hypnotist and is sadly no longer with us. He left behind a catalogue of classics though and this is one of my favourites - "Pioneers of the Warped Groove". Tucked away on the flip of "The House is Mine", this was definitely the superior track. A nice wee acid driven wander through the [...]
San Jose Mercury News (MCT) -- Steve Jobs, who sparked a revolution in the technology industry and then presided over it as Silicon Valley's radiant Sun King, died Wednesday. The incandescent center of a tech universe around which all the other planets revolved, Jobs had a genius for stylish design and a boyish sense of what was "cool." He was 56 when he died, ahead of his time to the very end. According to a spokesman for Apple Inc. - the...

Boston. Art school. Karaoke. So goes the life of sisters Taraka and Nimai Larson, otherwise known as Prince Rama. After leaving their Hare Krishna farm in Florida, the sisters and friend, Michael Collins, went to art school in Boston and it was here that the psychedelic sounds of Prince Rama were created and perfected. After a long series of tours and the release of both Threshold Dances and Zetland, the band made the move to Brooklyn. It was here that they rebuilt their sound and recorded Shado...
