Deadmau5 & Kat Von D – Satellite (DEMO) [Preview]

Screen Shot 2013-05-06 at 2.56.39 AM

The legendary couple is just full of surprises, aren’t they? Joel Zimmerman and Kat Von D have teamed up to produce “Satellite”, Deadmau5′s newest chilled out track with the unexpectedly talented vocalism of LA Ink’s finest. It starts out with a very ambient and melodic intro, demonstrating Joel’s prowess of theory and synth work. As it progresses, Kat’s singing compliments the instrumentals, as well as its rising tension, as it sweeps into a minimalistic half-step switch up. Although, the track was released in its rough draft form, we should expect some big things from this mix. Possible remixes and the inevitable bootlegs seem to be running through my mind of what’s to come. Respect to Kat Von D for her vocal skills and Joel for his ever adapting sound; these two have definitely earned some brownie points in my book.

Excision Presents THE EXECUTIONER: Coachella After-Movie

604156_10151242778695474_1701760506_n

It’s not often you see a stage setup included with the artists name on a lineup. However, for Coachella 2013, not only was the name Excision accompanied by presents the Executioner, but The Executioner was in even bigger writing. Being a DJ is no longer just about playing music, it’s about your image. How you express yourself on social media, the originality in your live show, how many side projects you have, and clearly your stage setup. Coachella 2010 we saw the unveiling of DeadMau5′s cube as well as his new head and that was certainly a spectacle that started a new trend. As the accessibility to DJ and studio equipment becomes so easy, DJ’s are forced to push the boundaries and open up new hemispheres every day. While The Executioner accompanied by 100,000 watts of bass could certainly be the most remarkable and extreme set up to date, it only leaves me with one question: What does the future behold? I guess only time will tell, but for now, enjoy the official Coachella After-Movie of Excision & his Executioner setup.

Both artists have not only successfully driven their respective styles around the globe, but have expanded the horizons of dance music as a whole. Following their set, the two Canadian superstars sat down for some small talk, which consisted of two major topics that make these pioneers tick: music and technology. Below we’ve included a clip of their set, and encourage you to tune in for an original breath of fresh air.
