Venturing into a new territory, New Hands have released “Tulips” as the first single off of their debut album. Hailing from Hamilton, Ontario, these five fellas only seek to inspire and satisfy their listeners. Falling into the more mellow side of electronic, Spence Newell’s vocals mirror Dave Gahan’s (Depeche Mode) circa 1987, deep and melodic. Chiming synths and crisp hi-hats provide a pleasant contradiction especially during a busy chorus with Spence shouting “Don’t ever compare me to him!” They’ve got special homemade singles available at your own price on their Facebook and if that isn’t enough for you, you can always indulge in their handsome half-naked (upper half, duh).

New Hands are busy at work in the studio to churn out rhythms you can dance and sing along to. “Tulips” is available for free download off of their Bandcamp.

In anticipation of his “Watch You” single featuring Pitbull and Disco Fries, Clinton Sparks unleashes a remix of massive proportions, sampling Lit‘s famous 90s rock ballad and one of my all-time favorite songs growing up, “My Own Worst Enemy” featuring Lit lead singer Ajay Popoff. Clinton recently attended an EMI writers conference, and has collaborations in the works with Akon, Chris Brown, and more.

Now you can play a crowd favorite without losing the uptempo energy & with the raging electro drop, its perfect for Raves & Vegas style parties. Maybe not perfect to play on a sunday night, but save this for the weekend and your friends will sure be impressed with the find.

Here’s live footage of Clinton Sparks unleashing his “My Own Worst Enemy” remix with singer Ajay Popoff, who is the lead singer of Lit. (more…)

SAVOY just uploaded this to soundcloud. It’s an electro rock remix to the Zombie Nation classic enjoyed at plenty of sporting events around the country. Play this before you go out, play this during the party, play this after the party when you still wanna rage and your friends are being bitches. But most importantly, PLAY THIS SONG, you won’t be disappointed.

Alternative electronic rock band Tic Tic Boom! released their latest project, Before The Sun Rises EP. After having seen the Tic Tic Boom! live and meeting the leaders of the band, Mike and Leilani, I knew this is a band you need to keep an eye on. They are a Foster The People Torches type of release away from breaking out, although their sound is much different than those indie rockers.

Stream and download the latest EP from Tic Tic below. My favorites are “For Feeling” (which is FREE) and “Bees”. This isn’t my favorite work from the band as it doesn’t have as many upbeat sounds that attract me to indie acts. Nonetheless still has a couple of enjoyable tracks and shows their potential for indie success.

Capital Cities just keeps getting better! I’m a huge fan of this Los Angeles duo and their latest song, “Kangaroo Court” is an pop electro rock must-listen, must-download track. It’s truly a gem from a band that will be touring all over the world by next year… let’s hope I’m right.

Radio Black is a Hollywood based Electro Hip-Hop duo working on their debut mixtape. They sound like Beastie Boys meets Boys Noize and LMFAO. Consisting of Los Angeles based Rich Black and Dez, the group combines Hip-Hop, Dubstep, House, Rock and Punk inspirations to create a hybrid sound that will make the dance floor shake.

Below is a multi-track set from Radio Black which includes their latest song a remix to Lana Del Rey‘s “Video Games” in which they turn the singer’s voice into a chipmunk, add some funky beats and rap over the song.

Woah, Tic Tic Boom! music continues to evolve and change with every new tune they put out. Their latest track, “For Feeling” has a banging instrumentals that mix electric guitar riffs, slick synths and a drums to keep the song rocking. I’m a huge fan of Tic Tic Boom! and I’m not saying this because I have met the band and observed a meeting with their management back in 2011. I’m a fan of this band because of their genre-blending sound mixing alternative, rock and electronic.

So I decided to create a rather unconventional music post today. Get ready to be INSPIRED.

I’ve recently helped some friends of mine launch a clothing line called the  ADAMO Collection. The whole idea behind this company is to provide a platform for rebelliously creative young people to pursue their passions, collaborate with each other, and express themselves freely. As a forward thinking company centered on passion and creativity, we look forward to working with bands, DJs, music blogs, etc!

Needless to say, launching a clothing line sure isn’t easy and 18 hour workdays are not unheard of. In order to stay sane and keep inspiration flowing, we blast music on our sick sound system 24/7. I thought it’d be neat to share some of these tunes with you guys and so I’ve compiled a playlist of some of our most listened to tracks on spotify. I’ve included everything from electronica/dubstep artists like Pendulum, Doctor P, Flux Pavilion, Emancipator, The Glitch Mob, Benny Benassi, and Steve Aoki, to more indie/alternative tracks from bands like The Naked and Famous, The Civil Wars, and M83. I also threw in some Tinie Tempah, Coldplay, and Claude Debussy. I think my favorite track has gotta be Pendulum’s The Island ( Dusk til Dawn remix). SOOO GOOD.
