Headhunterz – Society @ Firestone Live (Event) [Review]

Headhunterz Interview- Event 033

What an amazing show Saturday night in Orlando. Headhunterz pulled off one of the best Hardstyle events the state of Florida has experienced so far. The energy his music released to the crowd was perfectly noticed and created an atmosphere full of good sounds, dance and unity. Its all up to the performer to take full control of his event and Headhunterz did just that. His interaction with the crowd and his moves reflected that he is humble, caring and true to his style; this is why he’s one of the most successful Hardstyle DJs. His set was made of songs that reminded us of his creative talented way of tailoring the best sounds and beats. Music fans with an open mind really appreciated and felt the happiness. Thanks to Firestone Live, Alliance Events and HTG Events for continuously supporting the Hardstyle movement. Stay tuned for the follow up interview we had a chance to conduct that night with Headhunterz.

AJ “El Kallejero” Of La Mega Radio Is On His Way To The Top

AJ Ramos of La Mega Radio 97.9 Represents the Next Generation of Latin Power Executives

AJLaMega1-300x300

Last week we caught up with Roberto Castillo, one of the quiet movers and shakers in the radio and entertainment industry.  We were talking about the political and buying power of the Latin population because they are now the largest minority in the U.S.  Their buying power is growing each day, but what we did not understand is why a lot of U.S. companies were hesitant or just not savvy enough to take advantage of this hot growing demographic.  While having this very important discussion we started talking about the many global opportunities for minorities and the “World Cup” came up in the conversation.  He informed us about the role Mega would be playing and how we may be able to work together to cover the games.  This sounded like a hot networking opportunity so he asked the station’s point man for the project to come down and meet with us.  After talking to this skilled and gifted brother, who just had so much going on, we felt a genuine need to do this interview and let him tell his story to the world.

Interview of AJ Ramos of La Mega Radio

Q– What going on my man?

A—I’m good thank you for the interview; I respect the Source a lot.

Q– Where were you born and now reside?

A—I was born in Jersey City, NJ and live in New York.  I also lived in Las Vegas for two years doing radio.

Q– I understand your family is from El Salvador, what is life like over there?

A—Yes, my family is from El Salvador.  Like in every third world country poverty, violence and corruption is taking over.  The percentage rate of secondary and higher education is declining.  You have to be careful there are a lot of kidnappings.

Q– There are a few violent gangs in the U.S. from El Salvador, what brought this about?

A—This is something I rather not talk too much about.  But the violent gangs in El Salvador basically run the country and let’s just say I guess they call it expansion.

Q– How did you get started in radio?

A—It’s a crazy story.  When something is meant to be, it is meant to be.  I was leaving the COPA CABANA on 34th street.  Thursday nights were 18 to party and I was 20 years old.  Some gorgeous blonde lady approaches my friend outside the club and asked him what he thought about the radio station.  He straight up started kicking it to her.  I answered the question as I was babysitting my boy.  I then went back to the car.  I saw the radio station as a vehicle to success so I went to the promo truck and asked them how can I get a job?  The driver tells me to wait for his boss.  The boss ended up being the gorgeous blonde.  The rest is history.  At the moment, I was pursuing a career as a lawyer and got accepted to Rutgers into the pharmacy program.  LOL.  Go figure.

Noiscecontrollers 115

As part of his U.S. tour Bas made his way down to Orlando in Florida. This was a much anticipated event that had the fans expecting to hear the best of Noisecontrollers. He got up on stage and the reaction of the crowd was amazing. Just knowing that a Legend of Hardstyle was about to start playing, had everyone super excited! His set consisted of Noisecontrollers’ hit songs and all the tracks from his new album “All Around” that’s out now ranking high on the charts. Overall an excellent show that took place at Firestone Live nightclub in Orlando with Alliance Events. This venue is supporting the Hardstyle movement and gaining a very good reputation.

Avicii – True (Avicii by Avicii) [Track by Track Review]

Avicii_Cover_True Remix_Master_New-01

We were very lucky to get a chance to listen to Avicii’s new LP, “True (Avicii by Avicii)” ahead of it’s release. The album overall is just remixes by Avicii, you get more of the traditional Avicii sound many craved without really shying away too much from the originals. The LP consists of 9 remixes of tracks off #TRUE; excluding “Heart Upon My Sleeve”, “Long Road To Hell” and “Edom” The LP is set to release digitally on March 24th, 2014, can’t wait? Pre-Order it on iTunes today!

(Reviewed: Full LP)

PRE ORDER IT TODAY!

01. Wake Me Up (Avicii By Avicii): STAFF PICK
Very different from the original with respect to what genre it would fall under but, Avicii has done this without sacrificing the feel. This version of “Wake Me Up” reminds me more of that original Avicii sound that I was first introduced to. It feels a bit slower than original but, it isn’t a bad thing — it works well with Aloe Blacc’s vocals. On the bit more obvious side, the song is longer than the original by almost 3 minutes. What I really enjoyed about this track is that it had a guitar solo which was a nice touch.

02. You Make Me (Avicii By Avicii):
Avicii stripped this track down to the vocals and created a totally different track when compared to the original. The feel is more of Nu Disco track as compared to the Avicii style Progressive found in the original. What I personally did not like about this version is the 80s videogame style pitter patter in the Background but, I found as the more you listen to it the more you start to feel it and everything starts to fit. If you really liked the original version, give this version a chance before throwing it out the window.

03. Hey Brother (Avicii By Avicii):
Starts off roughly the same but, the vocals are different. They are less country-styled and a bit softer which, although different, works pretty well. This version has a drop; instead of the brass coming in fully, it turns into a nice buildup that leads to a Progressive beat with a catchy synth. Again, when compared to the original, this version is a bit longer too.

04. Addicted To You (Avicii By Avicii):
Besides the different styled intros, what stood out to me was that there is more piano action going on during the vocals than the original which has more guitar. The rest of the track is a bit more energetic than the original — a definite crowd pleaser.

05. Dear Boy (Avicii By Avicii):
*Cue Futurama Fry Meme* Not sure if same vocalist with pitch turned up slightly or totally new vocalist following the same singing style. The track is slower than the original which gives it a slight Nu Disco feel at first but, still retains some Progressive House elements. Unlike some of the other tracks, this version is shorter than the original.

06. Liar Liar (Avicii By Avicii):
Don’t worry, you won’t have to turn down your volume immediately with this version. It starts off softly with a guitar-light lead intro, it reminds me of a 80s ballad but with an Avicii twist (obviously). The part originally sung by a female vocalist, is sung by a male one but he follows that same soft and light style. What caught me off guard was the layering of the higher pitched vocals on top of the male vocals but, it wasn’t annoying or anything just different. Overall, a pretty decent track.

07. Shame On Me (Avicii By Avicii):
Bassy Funk and sampled vocals. Not necessarily a festival type track but, it is still an enjoyable one. It was a bit short but, nevertheless it was still pretty good. Not the most memorable track on the LP but, it wasn’t bad either.

08. Lay Me Down (Avicii By Avicii): STAFF PICK
Sorry Adam Lambert fans, his vocals aren’t on this version but, the female vocals that replace it still keep that soul and style that made the original great. The Nile Rodgers funk is replaced by Avicii’s Progressive sounds. The combination of the female vocals and the Avicii instrumental kind of remind of the classic, “Show Me Love” by Robin S.

09. Hope Theres Someone (Ft. Linnea Henriksson) (Avicii By Avicii): STAFF PICK
Keeping the same intro and vocals as the original, Avicii doesn’t really change much. Except for that drop. A well pronounced kick with an almost brass-like synth that is sure to make this remix one of the most successful ones off this LP. I really enjoyed this one; very simple but it just works so well. A great club track, crowds will love this at his shows.

Is it worth the purchase?

Yes, if you like Avicii’s Pre-True Album sound, this remix LP is a must have. If you don’t feel like dropping $6.99 on the LP, purchase “09. Hope Theres Someone (Ft. Linnea Henriksson) (Avicii By Avicii)”, “08. Lay Me Down (Avicii By Avicii)” and “01. Wake Me Up (Avicii By Avicii)” these songs are definite must haves.

Overall Rating: 4/5 Stars

AVAILABLE 03.24.2014
