I didn’t realize I was in for a dubstep treat when I saw Liquid Stranger, Lucky Date and Excision at Los Angeles’ Club Nokia on Saturday night. The bass was off the chain, the production was fire and overall it was a great show. Read my review below. (more…)
Here’s the solo, ORIGINAL version of the unreleased track “She Alright” by HaTeR. The song is a mash between club / house / dubstep / hip hop / pop. A little bit of everything in this song, I think it’s interesting and worth a listen.
Jordan Atkins-Loria, also known by his stage name Lucky Date, is a Chicago based Producer/DJ who is making some serious waves in the EDM industry. Originally hailing from California, Lucky Date has a great vibe emanating from his tracks. His style feels like a crossover between Porter Robinson and Skrillex with some sick electro synths and melodies thrown in. That is the best I can do to describe this awesome producer, his style is very unique and that’s a good thing.
Lucky Date is currently preparing to kick off the X-Tour with the likes of Excision and Liquid Stranger, two heavy hitters in the EDM world. He has done official remixes for The Crystal Castles, Greenskeepers, Richard Vission, Trash Yourself, Alex Kidd USA, Vhs or Beta, Lazy Rich, Frederik Olufsen, Zedd, and many others. He also works as a synth engineer providing the sounds behind some of the worlds biggest names including David Guetta. It’s time to get on board with Lucky Date cause his stock is rising at an exponential rate.
The trio known as Krewella hails from the great city of Chicago, and have been on a fast track to the big time ever since their release of “One Minute“, their electro infused dubstep banger, that screams “dance your face off”. These guys have the proper blend of pop and dubstep that is becoming extremely popular with mainstream artists and fans around the world; Krewella just might do it better than anybody out there.
This is their most recent release, “Killin It”, and it only proves further that these three are going places. “Killin It” has awesome synths backed up by that popular, Skrillex created, talking drum sound, and awesome vocals; she has the voice of an angel no joke.
This is a seriously good track, and y’all would be fools not to download this one. You can download this track by “Liking” Krewella on Facebook.
Ok peoples, here’s another edition of Remix Battle, this time we are taking the dumb Rihanna song “We Found Love”.When she keeps singing “We found a love in a hopeless place…” I just keep thinking she found love in a jail, DMV, funeral, somewhere that might give you the feeling it’s hopeless. I just don’t get finding loving in a hopeless place, it’s so stupid!
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed my rant on Rihanna and her silly lyrics. Now let’s get to two remixes that have very different sounds.
First we have Star Slinger‘s remix aka refix to “We Found Love”. I’m loving the beats he added and how you don’t hear much of the silly lyrics from Rihanna in this remix. Star Slinger really takes the instrumentals and gives it his own sound, which I respect, admire and can really dance to. Rihanna – We Found Love (Star Slinger Refix) by Star Slinger
Next comes 15-year old dubstep/electronic DJ Eos. His remix sticks to the original sound but has banging dubstep all over it.
Today we have Voodoo Farm‘s most recent remix. The DJ/Filmmaker’s latest project has found him remixing the famous Beatles track, “A Day in the Life”. Voodoo Farm not only creates awesome music but is also in the business of making awesome visuals to go along with his tracks. This remix is no different and is his first journey into the cartoon animation world. The video really compliments the track in every sense.
This remix has a massive bass line, thumping kick drums, and synths that melt your face. Definitely download this track cause it is a flat out dubstep banger.
Another edition of remix battle and this time its for a song that has been remixed and mashed way way way too much. However, it’s hard to ignore when Avicii‘s “Levels” plays as it’s such a great song and the remixing/mashing it can’t make it much worse, right?
2011 was a good year for Philadelphia artist Dave Patten and he’s going to be working even harder in 2012. “Just For Me” is the first single from Dave’s upcoming album Gone, which will be released in Spring.
As he sings “here’s to never giving up…” it not only focuses on going after the love you want, but can also be applied to life. If you have a dream that makes you happy, then you should give your all to achieving it and making it yours.
Dave once again produces the song himself and even throws a twist into it adding a new dimension of sound to his arsenal of variety. Is this my favorite Dave Patten? Probably not, but it’s among my top 5 favorites.
As with all Dave Patten releases, you can expect a video on the way and it’s actually going to be shot this weekend, so we will make sure you all have it when it’s done!
By this time everybody has heard the massive track, “Internet Friends”, from none other than Knife Party (if you haven’t you might wanna check yourself). And everybody knows that the Electro infused glitch-step of Knife Party is becoming contagious throughout the EDM world, but today we’re not talking about Knife Party, we’re talking about an Australian DJ/Producer named DYLAN SANDERS. This is the young Aussie’s take on Knife Party’s anthem, and I will say that it will make some noise of it’s own. If you are a fan of Moomah/moombahcore, or whatever you want to call this emerging genre, then you will love this track.
DYLAN SANDERS makes all the right calls in this remix; the moombah beat does not detract anything from the original track, and his added synths and samples make this a serious party track, pure fire in my opinion. If you have the right sound system it will hit you in the teeth, and leave you begging for more!
DYLAN SANDERS has worked with big names such as Wolfgang Gartner, Steve Aoki, and Afrojack. He has played at the Future Music Festival for four straight years, and his remix of “Animal Rights” by Deadmau5 and Wolfgang Gartner made it to #3 on the Hype Machine charts. This kid has got some serious talent, watch out for him in 2012 and expect great things. Finally, show the guy some love and “like” him on Facebook and Soundcloud.
