It seems like every other post I write is about Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, the Belgian duo who have seen record success over the last two years. In 2013, the two have already released three huge tracks: the tribal-influenced “Wakanda”, “Madness” with Lil Jon and Coone, and the highly anticipated, festival-smashing “Mammoth”. To keep up their average of one mega track per month, the guys have teamed up with GTA and Wolfpack to bring us “Turn It Up”, out now on Musical Freedom. Like this year's...

Wobble Wednesday is a constant battle of the genres. Should I include more future tunes? Should I focus on the filth? Is this drum 'n' bass too heavy? Is it not heavy enough? All questions I go over in my head each week. Sometimes one genre comes out on top of the others, but like Jaro from the documentary, Jaro Dreams of Sushi, I aim to only include products of the highest possible quality. This issue speaks volumes to arguably the most important job of a DJ—song selection. Anybody can mix two songs together, but...
Taking Missy Elliot's "Work It" to a new level with a moombahton bootleg, Diplo and GTA prove that reworking classic hooks pays off. Amping up the 2002 single, "Boy Oh Boy" chimes in with a sporadic build that turns into a full fledged bass pounding party. This goes on until you are reintroduced to...
Another week has flown by, closing the first two months of the year and bringing us to March, one of the most exciting months for electronic music. As Steph mentioned last week (and as I am sure you all know), the Winter Music Conference will be upon us shortly, which means artists are pulling out...

I had one helluvah time in the Northeast last week. Heard some great music, saw some beautiful street art, and bought my first bowtie. Hit some sketchy Allston house parties, caught an Earmilk-sponsored show in New York, and witnessed the first steps of converting an abandoned warehouse into a day...

I’ve never seen an A-Trak show I didn’t like, as the Canadian artist always seems to bring something extra special in his table-centric sets. He remains one of the few “purists,” in the sense that his views on DJing truly harken back to the origins of the art, never failing to share his...
Henrix shows no sign of slowing down the momentum he's picked up in the past year, jumping off his quick ascent to the 8th slot on the Hard Dance charts on Beatport with his release of "Lets Rave." After elevating into the spotlight releasing his EP "Miami Heaters," and subsequently winning...
This posting is to inform you of the "greatest instrumental for a video game theme," of all time! The beats hitting and that piano sound will have your feet stomping like the Ultimate Warrior from the WWF back in the day. Sitting here in my apartment all of the sudden I hear this epic piano start...
