It is always a good day when the crowd and the DJ seem to be in sync and that is what happened. Every time the beat dropped, the crowd erupted — I even saw some Jumpstyle dance and shuffling in the back which was nice to see. I am also proud to report that grinding was kept to a minimum, almost non-existant.

Most shows in the DC metro area occur at a handful of venues in Washington, D.C. but, Brennan’s show was the first ‘edm show’ I attended outside of DC — which was a nice change of pace. In general, the crowd differed from crowds you see at shows at other venues. The people there seemed to be there more for the music than anything else; you didn’t see girls taking selfies every 30 seconds and there were very few phones blocking one’s view during Brennan’s set. Although the venue was nice and the crowd was great, the lack of security both outside and inside of the venue was unsettling. I was never patted down and stage security was sort of weak. Luckily, there weren’t any altercations.

Overall, Brennan’s show was a great start to bringing Hardstyle headlining shows to Washington, D.C. and surrounding areas. I hope to see similar events at larger venues in the future.

Miguelito Is Still Going At It

Miguelito-Post

Do you remember the little kid the made a track with Daddy Yankee back in the day? Well, he is still making music as a 15 year old teen.

Miguelito brings us his track “Suga Suga”, an adaptation of a classic featuring Boy II Men member, Shawn Stockman. It is as catchy as the original but, sadly the adaptation is a mediocre play on popular Avicii-style-EDM meets pop — in other words is a radio hit. Most people will enjoy the song, it is catchy and danceable but, for those who look for something deeper in the music they listen to, this song isn’t for them.

Miguelito is a talented young individual with potential to become a great artist one day but, from what I can see, he needs to break free from whatever mold his label or he wants to fit. He is still young and music changes everyday but, going with the flow and doing what everyone else is doing is just not good music. It is a plague that has haunted music forever but, those who break away from that with something fresh and new are the ones who are destined to be successful.

Review: Godzilla (2014) [Action / SciFi]

Godzilla-2014-Poster-Wallpaper

Reviewed: Godzilla (2014) in IMAX 3D

To sum it up in one word (or two), Godzilla (2014) is BAD-ASS.

The 2014 adaptation of ‘classic’ Godzilla is based in the Pacific Ocean and surround areas, unlike the 1998 version based in New York City. At first, I was a bit skeptical, hearing a lot of negativity from fans but, after watching it, I would definitely go back and watch it again.

The production quality and especially the graphics were superb — almost elegant in nature. The most memorable moment where I was in awe of the graphics was when Godzilla emerged from a plume of dust and debris. There were a lot of moments, especially during the fighting scenes, where the sheer quality and badassery of the scene made me laugh followed by a “holy sh*t” or “wow” afterwords.

Although I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, I did have some personal/fanboy issues with the story line; some characters don’t last as long as I imagined and there was a ‘way too dramatic’ scene where Godzilla is pronounced ‘Gojira’. It should of been a dramatic scene but, I couldn’t help but to chuckle at it. Other than that, I had no issue with the movie. The production team did a really good job of finishing the movie with a slight cliff hanger leaving the audience prepared for a sequel which is a good thing because no one likes a forced sequel either. Some may find that Godzilla needs to hit the gym, a bit thicker than the usual Godzilla everyone imagines, but it isn’t really an issue at all. This Godzilla is still pretty badass.

At the end of it all, ‘Godzilla (2014)’ is a must-see movie — a great way to start off the Summer/Spring of epic movies. If you get a chance to, watch it in IMAX 3D. I’m not much of a 3D lover, some movies just don’t need it but, Godzilla is one of those movies that watching it in 3D just makes it that much better.

In Theaters tomorrow, 05/16/2014.

Yellow Claw & Mightyfools – Lick Dat [Moombah/Kuduro/Trap]

Yellow Claw & Mightyfools - Lick Dat

When I first saw this track, I read that it was categorized as “trap” but, it couldn’t be further way from that. Yellow Claw and Mightyfools came together to make one hell of a unique track; combining Moombahton, Kuduro, and some trap elements at a Jumpstyle paced tempo. It is one of those tracks that when dropped at a show, all mayhem will break loose.
