If you follow Diplo on Facebook, Twitter or any other social media site, you constantly remain entertained from the crazy things he has to say or post. Now, imagine sitting in a movie theatre for two hours and watching a whole film created by the funny-man. It’s safe to say you will most definitely be entertained. Deadline has reported that this wild dream of being able to watch something Diplo created in a movie theatre has actually come true. The DJ, producer, and now executive producer, is teaming up with 20th Century Fox to make a film revolving around EDM and its culture. The online magazine describes it as “8 Mile meets Project X,” with the plot of three teens trying to get into Diplo’s Electronic Music Festival. Sounds intriguing. With writers, producers and a director set, it seems this film is on its way to being made. What do you guys think? Is the world ready for an EDM movie?

Interview: Eric Prydz

February 25, 2013 By 2 Comments

There are so many artists in the world of dance music these days, but one of them stands alone. The artist we are talking about is Eric Prydz. Since day one Eric has stayed true to himself, true to his nature and has become an icon by following his own beat instead of others. It doesn’t matter if he’s producing under his real name or one of his other famous aliases like Cirez D or Pryda. At the end of the day, he evokes emotion and tells a story with every production he puts out. Not many people can juggle originality while being in the mainstream scene and he does it with ease. With countless mainstream and underground tracks, the man is known as a musical genius and not only has an extremely large mainstream audience, but a massive underground following as well. Reigning from Sweden and now currently living in Los Angeles, Prydz continues to be known as the king of originality. It was a true honor to interview the man himself and we will remember this one for a very long time to come. Check it out after the jump!

October 4, 2012 By 851 Comments

Aside from already blowing up and shutting down Twitter, the baddass “BANNEDBOYZ” of Flosstradamus have officially launched their new “X☮ EP” on Twitter! And yes, you must be following them on Twitter to get your hands on the free downloadable link. The first track, not included in the zip file, is “UNDERGR☢UND ANTHEM”, followed by 3 others, “DEAF”, “DRAK KNIGHT”, and “TWARK”. The boys incorporate and take the hardstyle route this time as all the intros basically start off with a hard kick to the face. There are still six more tracks to be released later this month and although we already have four of them, it’s going to be torture counting down the days till the rest of this album releases. Until then, trap on fellow trap-a-holics.

The Underground: Weekly Top Five

May 12, 2012 By 328 Comments

Welcome to the first edition of The Underground, where we will cover new music ranging from deep house, tech house, techno, and electronica. For this edition I will be featuring five tracks handpicked by myself for standing out amongst the latest sea of releases.

Note: It is recommended to listen with headphones or quality speakers, your laptop speakers just won’t cut it for these.

Tennis aka Manfredi Romano is the head of the label and collective known as Life & Death (along with Thugfucker’s Greg Oreck) that has been taking the world by storm recently. With his newest EP “Make It Good”, Tennis has proved himself as one of the best producers in the game.  I chose this track off  of the EP because of its deep and powerful bassline along with the haunting vocals by Jeppe Kjellberg of WhoMadeWho that combine to create some of the most emotionally powerful music I’ve ever heard. Simply put this is one of the best tracks I have heard all year.

April 9, 2012 By Leave a Comment

And so the infamous single digit countdown has begun and although we’ve already started packing our bags, practice pitching our tents, and buying Carpoolchella paint, it wouldn’t be a proper sendoff to Indio without one last breakdown for our techifans!… Seems like only yesterday we were packing up our campsites, checking out of our hotels, kissing Coachella 2011 goodbye and beginning the 365 day countdown all over again…well folks, we hope you’ve prepped hard and well for the heat waves, adrenaline rushes, and time of your lives – but then again, who could actually be 100% prepared for a forecast of madness and possibly rain?
