Q-Dance Releases Their Cinematic “X-Qlusive Legends” Trailer

07/10/2014 David G.

Instead of typical slow-motion compilations of girls with flags on people’s shoulders, Q-Dance has taken a different approach with their trailer for X-Qlusive Legends event.

The cinematic trailer reminds me of an Expendables trailer meets GQ; well dressed individuals who look like they’ve done some sh*t in the past — a nice change of pace from regular ol’ boring event trailers. The trailer features Headhunterz, Brennan Heart and many other Hardstyle super-stars that will be part of the line up at X-Qlusive Legends, an event held in Amsterdam this October.

4th of October 2014 – Heineken Music Hall, Amsterdam.

Available tickets
Entrance ticket: EUR 48,50
VIP ticket: EUR 58,50 [SOLD OUT]

Blasterjaxx and D-Block & S-te-Fan Working On A Track

07/10/2014 David G.

Both duos shared photos of themselves in studio working on a collaborative track. It is speculated that a 128-130 BPM Hardstyle, or ‘House-style’, tune will be created but, nothing yet has been confirmed.

On the fan side, feelings are a bit mixed. Some fans welcome the collaborative effort while others bash it and bash it hard. Hardstyle is growing at a fast rate since it’s introduction to the ‘EDM Scene’ in the United States creating collaborative tracks like Krewella and Headhunterz and Coone on Dim Mak Records. Hopefully as this trend continues to grow Hardstyle doesn’t lose too much of it’s identity to Big Room-like fads — it would be a tragedy to lose those hard hitting kicks man.

Tempo’s Latest Track “Desperte” Aimed At Cosculluela & Tito El Bambino

Audio 07/09/2014 David G.

Artillery Music is back with some great beats this time with recently released Puerto Rican rapper, Tempo. The Latin Hip Hop track produced by Artillery’s Nely “El Arma Secreta” takes aim at another Puerto Rican artist, Tito El Bambino, where Tempo refers to him by name. In addition to Tito, Tempo takes aim at Cosculluela, mocking his flow in a part of the song.

The flow was kind of forced by Tempo to fit the instrumental but, overall the song isn’t half bad. Although the song was good, something was missing — maybe a featuring by someone?

Charli XCX Releases An ASTR Remix of “Boom Clap”

Audio 07/08/2014 David G.

Charli XCX, whose voice you’ve probably heard at least once or twice on the radio every hour, has released a remix of her single, “Boom Clap”, which is currently in the top 40 of Billboard’s “Hot 100” The remix was produced by ASTR, a New York City based producer who has worked with Big KRIT, Neon Trees and other notable artists in the past.

“Boom Clap” on iTunes featured on “The Fault in Our Stars” Movie Soundtrack

MUSIC VIDEO – “Boom Clap”

ASTR brings his unique style while still keeping some elements from the original song to the remix which combine with Charli XCX’s vocals quite well. Although this remix would technically fall under Twerk / Trap (taking advantage of the name I guess), the way the mellow melody and Charli’s vocals come together you wouldn’t realize it’s a trap remix until you hear the high hat rolls and Lex Luger climax lasers.

Still no word on when the remix will be released but, you can stream it below today!

September 26^th – Orlando, FL @ The Social (TICKETS)

Tough Love Release Their Upbeat Deep House Track “Dreams”

Audio 07/08/2014 David G.

London based producers, Tough Love, have come out with their latest single, “Dreams” The upbeat Deep House tune is a perfect Summer release; great vibes and a melody that you can dance on the beach to.

If upbeat Deep House isn’t your thing and want something more laid back and chill, Audiowhores have remixed the single to suit your needs. Out of the three remixes that form part of the release, my favorite has to be Amtrac’s remix with a faster paced funky melody that puts it over the top.

The single and the remixes are currently available on Beatport and will be up on iTunes later this month on July 21, 2014.

Rakim (RKM) Injured In Fight [Developing]

07/07/2014 David G.

Around 2:00AM EST on July 7th, Jose Nieves better known as Reggaetonero, Rakim or RKM, uploaded a selfie of himself showing an injury to the side of his eye. He accompanies the image with the following caption:

“I look like this and you knocked out. [Someone] pick him up. We are ready. Don’t get confused and [we won’t] get sidetracked, you [all ready] know hahaha”

The post was immediately met with comments from concerned fans and a small number of friends who asked about the picture. Rakim replied arrogantly replying with comments implying he knocked out his “opponent” saying “look for him, he’s laid out” and then confirming with a comment reading “Nockkoautt (Knockout)”

We have reached out asking for more information but, no reply as of yet. After taking down the original photo, RKM posted a photo of himself in a boxing outfit — seemed more of a calender-like photoshoot than action shots from an actual match. This photo has also been taken down. More information will be posted as we get it.

Dada Life Teases Their New Single “One Smile”

Audio 07/03/2014 David G.

We first heard this track at a Dada Life show a few months ago in Washington, D.C. and the crowd at Echostage loved it! The only difference between this version and the version played at the show is the non-filtered vocal part, although okay it wasn’t really necessary — it already sounded great without it. The song is set to release on July 15th, 2014.

Diplo’s New Music Video “Freak” Lives Up To Its Name

Video 06/26/2014 David G.

…Well, kind of.

The music video of Steve Aoki, Diplo and Deorro’s collab featuring Steve Bays is a bit on the NSFW side, initially one begins to wonder ‘Why is this still live on YouTube?’ but, eventually everything comes into perspective. Take a look for yourself, just make sure your boss or co-workers (or kids for that matter) aren’t looking over your shoulder for the first minute or so.

Cazzette Release Their New Music Video “Sleepless”

Video 06/26/2014 David G.

Cazzette went the less ‘EDM’ traditional route on their latest music video, shying away from random clips from recent tours and random girls throwing up peace signs. The music video has a pretty good story line; it almost feels like something out of a chick-flick at first but, then slowly slides into more a grimmer feel. Overall, it was well put together — kudos to Cazzette on this one.

“Sleepless” was also featured on our podcast — Subscribe today!
