2020Soundsystem is going all out and even going on a short tour of the USA. UK bands breaking into the US and making is usually rare. I’m all for it, I just don’t know how accepting everyone else will be. This album is definitely worth a listen and if you’re in the area when they [...]
It was only a matter of time before Timbaland and Jay-Z crossed paths again, toss in a little Drake and you’ve got quite a cocktail. The Timbo sound is spot on with a few cowbells, “heys”, “fikki fikki’s” and other backup vocals followed by some smooth Jay-Z rhymes. Don’t forget Drake because he’s there too. [...]
Port Washington, N.Y.—The votes have all been counted and it’s official—DJ Times magazine and Pioneer Pro DJ are proud to announce that Z-TRIP has been voted America’s Best DJ for 2009. The talented Los Angeles-based jock will be honored September 12 in Las Vegas for the ABDJ Closing Party, which will include a press reception [...]
Simply put, the Fix Your Face albums from DJ AM and Travis Barker are some of the sickest mashups and mixes you’ll ever put through your ear holes. Both over-deliver on Fix Your Face Volume 2, which is argueably 10x better than Volume 1. The video will wet your appetite, the download will punch you [...]
Drama, from MTV’s Fantasy Factory, recently had a release party for his new clothing line: Young&Reckless. It looks like D-D-Drama Beats is taking notes from his cousin Rob Dyrdek and desiging a kick-ass line of clothes much like Rob and Travis’ Rogue Status line. If I lived on the left coast, I would have been [...]
Eyedea and Abilities are back after a five year hiatus with a brand new album By The Throat, and it’s supposed to be better than ever. If you’ve heard/seen the live performances or any leaked singles, you’ll understand why we’re so excited for the July 21st release of By The Throat. “With biting guitars, fuzzy [...]
Canada has given us a lot of really sweet things: the Blackberry, Michael J. Fox, and IMAX, just to name a few. But the awesomeness doesn’t stop there. Toronto-based Metric is another great accomplishment for the Canucks; combining brassy, buzzing guitar hooks (“Help I’m alive/my heart keeps beating like a hammer”) with catchy dance-pop. Lead [...]
Hip-Hop needs help and autotune is not the answer, Travis Barker is the answer. He may be a punk rocker at heart, but his obvious acceptance into the hip-hop world has definitely started a very cool remixing trend. I wouldn’t touch Crank Dat until I heard Travis’ rocked out remix and truly appreciated his skills [...]
Love it or hate it, that’s usually how it goes with any album or song. Just think, 20 years ago people were jamming to some crazy cassette in their Sony Walkman and fast forward was the only option to skip a song. Now that we have iTunes it’s pretty easy to skip all the junk [...]
