deadmau5 Reacts to “Beamz by Flo” Ad

deadmau5 beamz by flo

Will.I.Am, Pitbull, Flo Rida and other main-stream acts have had a number of product sponsorship out there, but anything besides foods and drinks usually go down the toilet. Another great example of this is Flo-Rida’s “Beamz by Flo”, a laser based “futuristic DJ” system. The same product has been pumped out on the market since 2009, but has had little success now Flo Rida wishes to push the product himself with a little help from deadmau5′ brand — his mouse head.

In a commercial titled “Even a mouse can play”, a person using the iconic mouse head is taped using the product (if you didn’t know you’d think it was Joel himself). This sparked some ranting from deadmau5 on Twitter stating:

.@beamzmusic i dont recall agreeing to any terms of you using my likeness and trademark to sell your shitty product.
– @deadmau5

It’s a pretty sad attempt from Flo Rida and the company behind the product at trying to get buyers. Just sad. Watch the commercial below.

RL Grime – Because of U [Trap]: Music Video & Free Download

Video

Because of U

Fairfax, VA – Clockwork aka RL Grime brings us his new stuff, “Because of U”

Chill, slow paced and filled with relaxing pads and rolling light melodies, “Because of U”, is a pretty nice change of pace from “regular” trap. It’s not boring, it’ll just have you “flexin'” and “cookin'” (forms of dancing to trap — if you’re not twerking) at a slower pace. Best of all, the track is free! Just download it at RL Grime’s site.

The new trap single comes accompanied by a music video too. The neon light spelling out “We Did It” is a collective that includes RL Grime and others like Shlohmo, Ryan Hemsworth, Groundislava, D33J, Nick Melons, Juj, 2KWTVR and SUS BOY. The dark music video is pretty simple, a gradual zoom on the neon sign with smoke surrounding it — don’t forget the model on top of the DJ set up.

Tiësto Ft. Disco Fries – iTrance (Original Mix) [Freebie]

Audio

Tiesto Disco Fries iTrance Cover

Fairfax, VA – After joking about making trance, Tiesto has finally done it in collaboration with the Disco Fries.

Tiesto bet his fans if he became DJMag’s #1 DJ of the year, he’d release a trance tune for old time’s sake. The results of the voting came in and the #1 spot was grabbed by fellow Dutch DJ, Hardwell. Despite this, Tiesto still released the track as a “Thank You” to all those fans who voted anyways.

Audio

Fairfax, VA – If you’ve been to a Diplo show lately, you’ve probably already heard some of these tracks. If you follow Diplo on Instagram, you’ve probably seen the cover above before. Its his new EP!

Jack U makes its debut in San Diego

Fairfax, VA – This past weekend, electronic music power houses, Diplo and Skrillex, joined forces for the first time as Jack U at the Mad Decent Block Party 2013 in San Diego, California.

Jack U was announced a few months ago by Diplo as a duo between himself and Skrillex. The pairing of two big producers isn’t a new thing for the two; Diplo with Jillionaire as Major Lazer and Skrillex with Boys Noize as Dog Blood. These duos have formed to create unique music and to create a new sound for those fans who have grown tired of “the same thing” over and over again.

The duo also dropped a few new tracks during their set at MBP13 San Diego, all of which so far have no I.D. Take a listen and let us know what you think.

Our Interview with Style of Eye

What are your upcoming projects?
Shooting the video for my next single, Kids, that will be the first single from my new album.

Whats the story behind the stage name “Style of Eye”?
I wanted one project to fit all different style´s of music that I wanted to experiment with, rather than having ten different projects.

When not producing, touring or conducting business; what do you do in your free time? Any hobbies?
I do a lot of Qigong.

What sparked your interest in making music at such a young age?
I´ve always felt like I didn’t choose music, but music chose me. Was drawn into it and today I can’t really function without music.

Philosophy or words you live by?
Music not genres.

More on Style of Eye:

Swedish DJ/producer Style of Eye (AKA Linus Eklöw) has been melding his far-reaching influences to form a unique brand of high energy club music since 2003.

Audrio Releases His Music Video “Dreaming Wide Awake”

Video

Fairfax, VA – Audrio, Avicii’s protege, has released a music video to his new single “Dreaming Wide Awake”

Contrary to what is the “norm” in EDM, Audrio’s electro house track music video isn’t PLUR or random compilation of shows. The music video is dark, creepy and, if you’re easily scared, it’s a wee bit terrifying and gruesome, but its well put together. Although there’s a small production error, 1:48-1:49, it does not draw away from the shear energy of the gritty synths of the electro house track.

Audrio’s single will be released on September 3rd, 2013 on Avicii’s label, LE7ELS.
