Weekly Flavours [Trap][002]

The beat goes on. Another week of trap scorching across the world at an alarming rate. House DJs have been reported spinning trap. Dubstep DJs have been incorporating trap into their sets. Everyone has been caught IN THE TRAP! So what does this mean for the EDM scene of today, tomorrow, and even years from now? Trap is already deeply ingrained in countless genres already. Ever since the release of Lex Luger and the Trap-o-holics Sample Kits, it has been almost impossible for even the top tier producers of today to...

Livid Instruments - CNTRL:R [Gear Review]

What first grabbed my attention when I saw the Livid Instruments CNTRL:R was the simplicity in design and number of parameter controls available. With 2 banks of 12 knobs sandwiching 12 endless push button encoders above 8 faders, a 16 pad grid and a 32 pad sequencer grid, what more could you ask for? Techno legend Richie Hawtin actively guided the design process, and the team at Livid went all out on their new signature midi controller that was launched earlier this year. Retailing at around $700.00, the CNTRL:R is...

Boys Noize - Out Of The Black [Album Review]

When it comes to Alex Ridha, better known as Boys Noize, and his new productions, there’s usually a big circle of expectations because of the capacity he has earned through the years by successfully surprising the fans, whether they’re long time ones or the newest. For the past two years...

Zedd - Clarity [Album Review]

Fresh from a year-long sprint of fantastic single release after single release (all starting with the letter "s"), Zedd has taken an incredibly ambitious step in releasing his debut album Clarity. After a few thorough listens, I think it's safe to say Zedd has changed the game with this...
