So on the freeway, I witnessed a feat of playing drums with drumsticks on the steering wheel while going around 65-75mpb. You think somewhere out there some DJ has his dash set up so he could mix something together while in traffic? He has all his windows down, speakers up, and...
Today we're uninstalling the old doorbell system at my house, after the previous machine unexpectedly had an incident with a well-thrown spiraled football. The caveat though is that I've yet to find a doorbell that is pleasant sounding yet unique and coveted by guests and prospectors who push their greasy thumbs up against that tempting white plastic button. Then, while licking a 9-volt, I came to my senses. I've left a message on my good friend R3hab's voicemail, asking him to create me something quick and mega. When he's done with EDC-LV this weekend, I'm sure he'll come visit and conjure a good house sound for us.
On the kineticFIELD stage is a frighteningly amazing act in Sander Van Doorn to help scare your senses awake because you should realize you're in the heat of Sin City. Bright skies. Humidity. Burning concrete. 360º of un-Sure-nose-flairing-odored body heat. Luckily everything starts at sundown, so scratch off: Bright Skies. See you there?
I borrowed my friend's iPod today and was listening to the album Wolfgang Gartner Presents: Electric Daisy Carnival Vol.2 and was really impressed at the compilation selection, especially, the combo Gartner and will.i.am Forever track. I told my friend I was enjoying this track and she delighted to show me the new Tom Staar remix of the song. I find it amazing how remixes come out so fast. Wouldn't it be stupendously amazing if a remix came out first then someone decided to do it's original. Hmm...I wonder how that would work?...Great Scott, Marty!
Owl Vision gives us a new remix called Nebulas, by Vengeance. So I'm wondering, what is the process of how these artists create such intricate designs of electronica. How do they begin? Do they go with the flow or have a blueprint made up in their mind? Perhaps it's better just to enjoy the end product.
You ever get that feel-good tingling sensation? Like when you open up a gift and it's something you've been wanting or when that one girl you had a crush on came out of nowhere and accidentally knocked over your textbooks and didn't bother to look back and apologize but you thought it was a magic moment? I felt that tingle hearing this new track by Paper Diamond. More tingles please.
PS: Kudos to Paper Diamond for being a part of the Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides Soundtrack.
at first glance, kind of looks like a long abbreviation for St. Louis right? Well no, these are great guys, and the abbreviation is for "STILL THE SKY's LIMIT"

A little Bot'ox gets those wrinkles away and gives Toxic's Never Stop track a brand new face. But really, I'd like to take this time to compliment those who use Botox. In society, we learn by example. So today, let's learn that Botox is short for Botulinum toxin, which is one of the most lethal toxic substances known to Man. But I suppose it's okay, because it's in small doses and your chain smoking or reckless driving will certainly kill you first. So here's the compliment: You guys are very much appreciated. You are society's guinea pig. Inject away. Wither away, wrinkle free. But, Bot'ox never hurt the ears. So, give me some.
Sweden doesn't get enough attention. But I can sense it's blossoming. Avicii, and Sebastian Ingrosso grouping into Swedish House Mafia, is giving Sweden something more than just meatballs, vodka and cellphones. The electronic music scene is booming and here's another tally for you: Alesso...Välkommen.
Experience Thomas Gold at this coming EDC in Las Vegas. Be sure to bring a backpack full of water because the Nevada desert isn't the only source of heat that's going to plague the weekend. Mr. Gold has remixed numerous ace tracks and it'll be suspenseful to hear what he has to offer for the carnival.
Fistful of Silence comes to you today from the dnb/hip hop clan known as The Glitch Mob. I remember when Kanye West sampled Daft Punk's Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger and the combo sounds were pleasing, even when they performed together at the Grammys. The Glitch Mob should team up with a high fly act like Dr. Dre or Kid Cudi and create something grand. Of course Dre is an auteur when it comes to beats, so Glitch Mob, make good friends with that guy.
Days are closing in for Las Vegas' Electric Daisy Carnival and hot on the list of performers is Los Angeles' own LA Riots contributing their breed of electro, techno and house fused into indie and dance music. How amazing is it to start from zero to hero in a matter of months. Let's remember the LA Riots...um, the band, not the anarchy.
Back to electropunk with the up-and-comers, Waxdolls. It's amazing how time flies and you realize how much you've accomplish - or if you're a big-ugly-man you've accomplished zilch. This original mix is for all the high school grads who will Step-down and relinquish their golden position as Seniors and let the underdog Juniors attain a chance to ditch classes, grow in laziness...and for that one wallflower: Step out of your shell and date the thunder-thighs cheerleader you've been lusting after.
An odd, though intensely ear pleasing, and an appropiate piece to recognize that bright beam of light closing in, down that one road to Las Vegas. The summer's kickoff is to head to Sin City for a hot, hot heat of vomit-inducing rides, quick marriages, slot binging and overdosing on jaw-dropping electronic artists like The Bloody Beetroots (Death Crew 77), who will perform at one of the biggest raves yet concocted: Electric Daisy Carnival. Sacrifice a paycheck, grab some Red Bull and make it a weekend.
Hot Mess is a favorite in the clubs. Duck Sauce gives a new edge to this sharp track and offers deejays another piece of music to add to their repertoire. I prefer Chromeo's original but this too is electro funky. *
*Some trivia: Duck Sauce consists of Armand Van Helden & A-Trak. A-trak is the younger brother of Dave 1 from Chromeo....'tis a small world in the Electrolady land.
Sometimes I stop and hear the roses. They sound so mellow. To boost that sound, to give those elegant blooms some color, I'll creep up like an innocent caterpillar, close in on those beautiful young buds...and blow 350 watts of Foxtrot.
I am wondering what individual would allow such right-side-up synchronization as Jack Beat's Elevator Music to be wafted through those crackled soggy ceiling speakers, bolting down into the eardrums or 'Ol Mr. Duncan and his lil' grandson Miles, as they snail upwards to their fourteenth floor apartment after a hard day's night of binge eating and raw hedonism.
Fans of the DnB pioneering days can remember the establishment of this brand of electronic music through the Brit rave scene. The deejays sampled a flavor of the reggae subgenre of raggamuffin and incorporated it into their creations on stage. Now-a-days, techniques and innovation of the fast-tempo'd soundscape have become exponentially viral and Noise & Phace have contributed to the art of the heavy basslines with Program.
Back spinning right round like a record is Bassnectar's remix to the Bangles' one-hit-wonder track Walk Like An Egyptian. I remember when I used to say the 80s were so long ago. Now-a-days, the oughts? seem so long ago. Next thing you know the oldies stations will be rumbling Timestretch next to Time of the Season.
Looks like the Masai have found a fit supply of e on the Serengeti...Douster has befriended famed disc-turner Diplo to establish this new creation called ON! Enhanced with tribal ambience and warped sound effects, Douster adds a cultural crossbreed to Diplo's known ultra-sonic highlights of electronica. Rumor has it, if you bring a photo of a Masai warrior to the club when the deejay ruptures this tune on, you get a free drink.
This is dedicated to all those hotties with bodies who go that extra mile to cross the velvet rope, go up those steps and undulate the t-n-a adjacent the night's deejay. Presenting '96 Bulls' remix of Dancing with the DJ.
I had a dream where I was injected with a spinal tap and inside the syringe that pierced my epidermis what jelly of a chaotic electro track by some artist - I'm not able to recollect offhand. So let's just say it was this: Porter Robinson's The Wildcat. So the dream continues as I'm being injected and suddenly I'm able to gaze at individuals on the street, in the office, at the gym, and force them to dance any dance I wish them to partake. Girl, tap your heels three times....nice.
I am enjoying this lite indie dub production, teeming with an ambivalence of innocence and salaciousness, absorbing your inner urges to rise to the surface and emote those feelings through head nods and swaying, or maybe lip biting and a tongue caress.
