Dude...Swede::

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.

Reach Out & Touch Gold::

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.

Teamwork::

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.

1992, Where Were You::

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.

Class of 2011::

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.

EDC-LV, 6.24,25,26::

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.

Good Handful of The Duck Sauce, Please::

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.

Hurricane, With Style::

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.

Muzak's Alter Ego::

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.

C'mon, put those hands up.

How Low Can You Go::

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.
