As massive and broadly defined as EDM has become, is it hollow at its center? David Guetta, a guy whose music you almost certainly have heard whether you know him or not, stares blankly into a webcam to accept the first ever American Music Award for Electronic Dance Music. To arrive at this teleconferenced acceptance speech, Guetta had to beat out Calvin Harris and Skrillex, two musicians as disparate as disco and steampunk, here united under the banner of EDM. Guetta seems gracious, although it is telling that he is...

Cool, so Grammy nominations are in and the 'Best Dance Music Recording' section is about as naft as you can get. As expected Avicii's 2012 anthem "Levels" made the cut as did Calvin Harris , Skrillex again following last years win, Swedish House Mafia and a relatively unknown producer Al Walser (we'll get onto that later). Remember Deadmau5 trolling Skrillex ? Who can we expect to win this year? We've got 2:1 odds that Avicii's hit [...]
Like any style of music with more than 15 fans, EDM has its artists that people love to hate. You don't get to a million followers on Twitter without gathering a few haters along the way, and n... Continue reading "For Crimes Against the Dancefloor, 5 DJs Enter EDM Kangaroo Court" >

Sleigh Bells popped back up in the news yesterday with a brand new video for the song "End of the Line." This track was off their most recent project Reign of Terror , an album you should probably have in your collection at this point. Nothing too intense about the video as the duo ride BMX bikes and chill about. Fresh? Tweet

Xavier DeRosnay is the lead singer of Justice (aka Jousteece ). His band Justice is known for their bloghouse banger hits, but then they took too much time off, released a prog rock record, and by that time EDM had taken off without them and Skrillex basically stole all of their fans. ANYWAYS, some1 threw Justice a bone because they still wear black leather and have a cross and let them play Ultra. This means that they got to brooodle with relevant alt and mainstream celebs. U have 2 [...]
I realize that House music isn't for everyone. I myself have to admit to being heavily influenced in the past four years by a number of house-heads around the world who have increased my knowledge of and love for all things electronic - the pulse mixes certainly testify to that. Well, Pulse Crew, meet Avicii, who is quickly becoming one of the biggest DJs in the world, and his unstoppable freight-train of a hook track called "Levels." This song is on fire, and all the young kids are bugging out to it. I've included [...]
Pretty great video from Avicii...reminds me of this video . Of course not as great as the latter which I really think is one of the best of all time (these two others come to mind , or I am just a sucker for videos played in reverse!).

This one's On the House... Beats and Electronic of Note escape from the norm... AVICII - LEVELS (ORIGINAL MIX) 22 yr-old Swedish DJ phenom Tim Bergling is better known as... [...]

A nemmeno 23 anni, Tim Bergling , meglio noto come Tim Berg o Avicii è uno dei maggiori protagonisti della scena house e dance.

" Levels " è l'ultimo della serie, che sta spopolando in mezza Europa., toccando la vetta in patria e la top 10 in 10 paesi, compreso il Regno Unito. Ha già alle spalle collaborazione con i componenti del grupp [...]
Diciamoci la verità: Avicii non sarebbe stato nulla senza Leona Lewis . La popstar inglese ha infatti portato, con la questione relativa al furto , molta visibilità al giovane dj che adesso. Conclusione? Adesso l'Europa inizia ad interessarsi a questa nuova promessa della musica dance portando addirittura in classifica i suoi pezzi. "Levels", di cui qui in alto vi mostriamo il simpatico video ufficiale, è uno di quelli più apprezzati. E' orecchiabile, ballabile e contiene un sample di un vecchio pezzo di Etta James ("Something's Got a Hold On Me") ripreso di recente da [...]

Put your dancing shoes on and let this video from Avicci of their newest single, Levels work its magic, no matter what your mood or circumstances, this one will lift you up!!! website
We can all agree that we have no idea what is going to happen when Avicii releases a music video. Think back to the " Bromance " video which mixed a bit of fun with a large dose of humor at the end. The " Fade Into Darkness " video was sexy (mostly because of the girl), but was tuned towards the darker artistic side of things and left you with your jaw on the floor. The official YouTube music video of "Levels" that we posted earlier featured a few spine tingling moments that made you smile. This [...]
