Hopefully she had a chance to enjoy the sun before she returns home to […]

After the closing of London’s Fabric nightclub, I momentarily questioned the city’s dance music scene. Was this the first domino to fall? Scandals relating to drug abuse are sadly not rare, though shutting the venue down abruptly wasn’t the answer. Of course, looking back I was foolish to react with such pessimism; thanks to the […]

MSTRKRFT are back and armed with a new album and song reveal. The duo comprised of Jesse F. Keeler (Death From Above) & AL-P just dropped a new song titled “Party Line” and it’s going to blow your mind. In a time where electronic music has become tainted with the fabricated pop sounds of “EDM” […]

Moderat is the musical collaboration between Modeselektor and Apparat, two profound IDM artists. These two creative forces are highly regarded by Radiohead frontman, Thom Yorke, and radio DJ John Peel.

  You may recall the wild dance riot that ensued last August when Kaskade held an impromptu block party on Hollywood Blvd. for the Electric Daisy Carnival Experience.
