A Look at OT301, Amsterdam’s DIY Venue that Hosts Dub Champions’ Europe Festival

As Dub Champions kicks off in Europe today, we were lucky enough to catch up with a staff member of OT301, the underground, DIY venue that plays host to Amsterdam’s forward-thinking music scene and more. Tahdeo “T” Sparks, an Amsterdam transplant, is a programmer at OT301, a spot that he enjoyed before becoming involved professionally. “What makes OT301 unique is the versatility of its programming and the diversity of the people who attend events or frequent the space. It is

Shlohmo Announces New Album, Releases New Song “BURIED”

Very few dudes that are as big as Shlohmo are pushing the boundaries of beats quite like he is. Along with the likes of Flying Lotus and Bonobo, he holds a place in an elite group of musicians who make electronic music that I can really get excited about. Shlohmo just released a new song, “Buried,” that is off his upcoming LP Dark Red. To be released on April 7th, Dark Red is the first full-length album since 2011’s Bad Vibes. #shlohmo #nicolasjaar #edm #electronica #downtemp

Todd Terje [Live] Coming to Verboten on Thursday

Todd Terje is bringing his live show to Brooklyn this Thursday for what is sure to be an exciting celebration of disco and live electronica musical performances. Hot off the heels of his newest album It’s Album Time (which, by the way, made our list of 2014’s best records), Terje is expected to bring an array of musicians with him to perform the album and more. Verboten will play host to the party, as they continue their dominance of NYC club culture. Tickets are available he

Exmag Releases Red Rocks Video; Playing NYC on Nov. 28

The dudes in Exmag just released a killer recap video of their summer trip to Red Rocks where they played alongside Gramatik and Lettuce. The video was filmed and edited by Brooklyn-based Dan LaDue, a great friend, a DubEra contributor and a rising NYC videographer. Exmag also recently announced a November 28th show at New York City’s Webster Hall alongside Keys ‘n’ Krates. The event will be a display of two fine live/electronic hybrids, and I can’t wait to see what happens w

Time Warp US Announces Lineup: Dubfire, Richie Hawtin, No Regular Play+++

In addition to turkey, football, family and friends, Time Warp US is something I can be thankful for come Thanksgiving Weekend. The festival, which originated in Germany, has taken place for 20 years in countries like Italy, Progue, and Vienna. This year, it made its first appearance on non-Euro land in May when it landed in Buenos Aires. And now, AMERICA! Richie Hawtin and Dubfire obviously stick out of the techno-influenced lineup. The two innovators are amongst the best in

Phish Will Play Miami on NYE, Skrillex Playing MSG Leaks

Phish will almost certainly play Miami for New Years Eve this year. This rumor is (pretty much) confirmed after Madison Square Garden’s NYE event leaked on Ticketmaster. We expect an official announcement some time in the next week. That’s right, Skrillex and Diplo are playing Madison Square Garden according to LiveMusicBlog. The listing has been taken down, but these Ticketmaster leaks are usually pretty reliable. We’ll see you in Miami! #2014 #phish #edm #music #fuego #skri

NEW MUSIC: Flying Lotus feat. Kendrick Lamar – Never Catch Me [Hip-Hop, Downtempo]

Flying Lotus has one of the most anticipated releases of the year coming out on October 6. Warp Records is doing a phenomenal job with the roll out of content with this one along with the new Aphex Twin album. This song is exactly everything you could want from the pairing. Experimental/Cali vibes to create some absolutely forward-thinking hip-hop that was not influenced by Yeezus. Where Yeezus went techno, FlyLo goes jazz. The progressive jazz influence is absolutely undenia

NEW MUSIC: Bonobo’s 50-minute THUMP Mix

Bonobo is back with a brand new 50-minute mix via THUMP, Vice’s electronic music channel. The mix foreshadows an impressive string of DJ dates across America, that include Colorado and Florida runs, but no New York for this apple-dweller. It makes me think, since Simon lives in NY, shouldn’t he be DJing here like once a month or something? Hmm…. If you want to hear the sweetest sounds you’ve heard all day, press play below. Tour dates follow the mix… SEPTEMBER 2014 18: Majes

Imagine Festival’s 5 Most Anticipated Sets

Imagine Festival will give a plethora of electronic music artists some southern hospitality in Atlanta this weekend. Headlined by Destroid and Fedde Le Grand, the festival has plenty of big name talent to offer without a TomorrowWorld-level price tag. Let’s take a look at the five sets we’re looking forward to most at the festival. Minnesota Minnesota has been one of DubEra’s favorite electronic acts to catch for quite some time. After interviewing him at IMPULSE two years ag

Chicago house legend Felix Da Housecat launches his residency this Saturday at Verboten alongside the Safer at Night crew. This adds to already extremely impressive run of parties Verboten has thrown this month including Cajmere and DJ EZ, both of whom share “legendary” status with Felix. Joining the 42 year-old is the crew from Safer At Night. The Brooklyn-based after hours label is riding high on an impressive string of releases themselves, the newest of which is Curses’ He

SBTRKT stopped by BBC Radio 1 yesterday for an exclusive live performance on Zane Lowe’s show, and he brought some friends too. Sampha and Ezra (of Vampire Weekend) joined the masked warrior as he gave the live debut of the two songs we’ve heard off the upcoming Wonder Where We Land, “Temporary View” and “New Dorp, New York.” He also gave the world debut of “War Drums,” a bonus track featuring Warpaint, along with the live debut of “Highs & Lows” from his recent instrumental

The title track for Caribou’s forthcoming album Our Love is as good as it needs to be. If you know what this gentleman is capable of, then there is no accepting mediocrity in his art. Thankfully, we won’t have to accept anything but the best, because this song is freakin’ bangin’. Our Love comes out October 7. #indie #edm #techno #house #newmusic #caribou #ourlove

Jacksonville’s Greenhouse Lounge has come a long way with no signs of slowing down. The trio have a new EP, The Other Side, coming out September 2nd through Grooveshark. The newest offering is off that EP, titled “Release.” The live electronic style is perfected with this tune, giving you just enough electro-bassline to release all that energy on the dancefloor, but keeping it organic enough to listen to while at work as well.

How Effective Is Electric Zoo’s Anti-Drug PSA?

Unfortunately, just about every month I see a story about someone dying as a result of taking molly. It is important to note that these cases are usually labelled as “overdoses,” which would indicate that the individual is taking an absurd amount of MDMA. This isn’t usually the case, as the deaths usually result from complications after taking a normal amount. The latest incident to make headlines was the two people who died at the Maryland installment of the Mad Decent Block

NEW MUSIC: Papadosio – Night & Day [Live Electronic, Jamtronica]

Definitely a favorite over here at DubEra HQ is Asheville-based Papadosio. Out of all the bands lumped in to the jamtronica, live-electronic, jam/edm category, these guys definitely do one of the tightest shows. Having seen them numerous times, I can honestly attest that Papadosio gets better and better each time. The band has evolved incredibly over the years and I feel truly blessed to have been a part of so many incredible experiences at their shows over the last few years
