I have like, a visceral reaction to Mr. MFN eXquire's music. From his earlier mixtapes that had the underground buzzing at a frenetic pace, to his current major label debut, Power & Passion (Universal Republic), the dude never ceases to get my emotions wylin.

French producer Pascal Arbez, better known as Vitalic, returns with a brand new eclectic production, maybe one of his most sophisticated to date. The new album’s called Rave Age, and despite what the title might say, it’s a strong and selective mixture between club weapons and nu-disco like...
DJ Dan has been at the forefront of house music since its 1980's infancy. Although his stage name seems unassuming, he's one of the original American pioneers of the genre, and has formatted his newest album Disko Funk Odyssey to remind us where we've come from. It's easy to tell that DJ Dan was...
Swedish House Mafia has released their final album today on EMI Records, entitled "Until Now." The name itself pays homage to the trio's robust career by referencing their 2010 album "Until One." Not only was this the group's first full length house album, but it was also the first of its kind to...
