What is Moombahton?
Dutch House slowed down to 108 BPM? Reggaeton and Cumbia converged with EDM? Can this work? Yes! And what a beautiful mistake it turned out to be. Moombahton is a genre created by Dave Nada (1/2 of Nadastrom). A genre that started out as a “last resort accident” Dave tells us. He was playing a Latin “skipping party” in DC and slowed down the BPM (Beats Per Minute) on a few Dutch House tracks. But the genre has evolved so much since then. The tracks now... Read More
Why is Daft Punk not in the Electro Wars documentary?
There’s actually a very valid reason for Daft Punk’s absence in The Electro Wars documentary. It’s not like we forgot or anything. Psst… that would be blasphemous in some circles. Truth is we reached out to duo that revolutionized contemporary electronic dance music over a year ago, but to no surprise were denied the request. Not surprising given that Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter have always shied away from any type of interview... Read More
Busta Rhymes working with Tiesto, Diplo & Afrojack?
Just days after Brit’s EDM surprise, we were served up with another treat. Rapper Busta Rhymes emerged on a Tiesto/Diplo produced track “C’mon (Catch Em’ By Surprise)”. Before that track sunk in, there was a new morsel to nosh on. Chris Brown’s second single, “Look At Me Now”, (off his upcoming F.A.M.E. album) dropped. Brown’s single is a Diplo/Afrojack produced track which features, you guessed it, Busta rapping over electronic beats; with the addition... Read More

Skrillex!
Skrillex @NYC MTA When we first met Sonny Moore we were floored by his humility. You see, Sonny may be a newcomer to the Electronic Dance Music scene, but he’s certainly no stranger to the music business. He’s been touring since the age of sixteen as the front man for the band ‘From First to Last’. We were greeted by Sonny backstage at the Gramercy Theatre, his debut set in NYC under the moniker Skrillex. We jammed out backstage to a few of his unreleased... Read More
Ninjasonik & Spank Rock
Ninjasonik at Santos Party House September 4th 2010 marked a sad day in Hip hop, and even more specifically underground hip hop. The West Village’s intimate little hip hop vinyl shop, Fat beats closed its doors, citing the internet and Serato as two of the main factors for the closing. A-Trak, Just Blaze, and DJ Scratch were just three of the many DJs that showed up that night to spin a set, and send the classic hip hop store off the right way. The question raised (at least...

Lil B Rapping from the Unconscious
Look out Lil Wayne. There’s a new, even more absurd lyricist on the horizon. He is nineteen year old Berkeley California rapper Lil B. He employs a style called based freestyling, which would explain his full rap name: lil B The Based God. Based is basically “rapping from the unconscious”; only Lil B’s unconscious includes such ludicrous thoughts as “fucking your bitch”, and then eating some wanton soup. Lil B @ Highline Ballroom, NYC These are lyrics from the rapper’s... Read More
Britney Spears brings Dubstep to US Mainstream Radio
If you’ve already heard Brittney Spears’ new single “Hold It Against Me” your ears must have felt privy to an edgier sound never heard before on mainstream radio. The track sent shock waves through the bodies of EDM music fans from the U.S. to Austraila, (making its way to the top of the charts in both places). The hit single includes a very surprising dub step bridge near the middle of the song. On the one hand, it was only a matter of time before the “dirty”... Read More
