My picks of 2011! When I thought of what were for me the musical highlights of 2011, these are the things that immediatley came to my mind. Of course it is subjective! Very little Global Bass here, well my tastes do change quite rapidly and so I’ve not really been feeling it in 2011. Essential [...]

About a month ago, I was driving home from lunch and received a call from the music director at the Fontainebleau in Miami beach. He told me that he just confirmed Deadmau5 on the first day of 2012, and that I would be opening. As you can expect, I almost crashed my car. Now, less... Continue Reading
I was anxious to post this track for you guys because I am so glad to finally clear its rumors. The buzz after this past year’s Ultra Music Festival left many new tunes unidentified and gossiped, namely the “collab” between Afrojack & Steve Aoki in what was being deemed ‘Morfium.’ With thousands of you tube...

Fresh off their rafter-raising North American tour, it’s the UK’s preeminent dubstep duo Skream & Benga.

From their early studio releases on Big Apple Records to their group project Magnetic Man, these childhood friends have put [...]

Original underground Moombahton tracks from UK artists showcasing the breadth of the genre. This collection of original Moombahton bangers offers a taste of the diversity bubbling under the surface of this exciting genre. Each of these tracks showcases something different – from the glitchy, stripped-back, percussive vibes of “Fayre Game” to the Big Room monster [...]

So this release has been one of the most frustrating I’ve ever had to complete. It started as a different mix altogether, and we ran into every snag possible.

The new Weeknd freebie! Merry Xmas everbody and thank you all for your support this year. The Weeknd – Echoes Of Silence by The_Weeknd
Quite apart from his music, what I also Luv about Munchi is that he isn’t afraid to turn big commercial things down on the basis of his principles and beliefs and that is a very rare commodity these days. After all he knows, as well as a few others, that his talent is not just [...]

The Birthday Suit is the solo project of Idlewilde guitarist Rod Jones, while the Scottish indie-rock music band is on hiatus. This instantly sets alarm bells ringing, as a ‘band on the side’ can often mean the passion and energy necessary are missing.
The Eleventh Hour by The Birthday Suit is released on Sing It Alone [...]
I first stumbled across Kings Of Leon in 2003 with the release of their debut album, Youth and Young Manhood. The album was as raw as a rare-cooked slab of meat with edges rougher than a stubble-chinned kiss. The band received critical-acclaim in the UK and the album peaked at #3 though fared less well [...]
