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

The Polish Ambassador is one of our favorite artists, so when he hits us up on Facebook you know we gotta give him some love! The man has just released two brand new songs off his upcoming LP Pushing Through The Pavement. “Vision Fiberoptics” features the voice of Sean Haefeli on his neo-soul grind. The sung poetry over Polish’s organic vibe really sets this one off. As his popularity grows, it’s dope to see him working with new artists and while I had never heard of Haefeli

We interviewed Grant about his new album and more the other day. We are very excited to share the full release with everyone. We got it the other day to preview and I was quite impressed. More instrumentation that usual and lots of funky soul which is Griz’s favorite. With a feature from Big Gigantic’s sax player, Dom, you know it’s gonna get soulful. Griz also announced today that he is going to be running his own record label, which he released this album on. So expect new

Deadmau5 seems to make the news every other week with some crazy tweets. While this week saw the producer taking shots at Justin Beiber, this show was announced right under our Floridian noses. Outside of Miami, Deadmau5 hasn’t been making too many trips down to Florida in the past few years. He hasn’t played Tampa since 2009, a time where those three letters (EDM) were a lot less popular and the crowds were a whole lot smaller. Now, just days before 2014, he comes to Raymond

Now this…this is what I’m talkin’ about. Exmag, the new project led by Gramatik just put out the sexiest thing since Ginuwine’s “Pony.” I mean this is strategically designed to get women in the mood. And if you don’t have the ladies around, it’s a nice chill jam for your everyday pleasure.

GRiZ seems to be the man these days! And I’m really feelin’ how they did this music video. Most video concepts are tired and I find myself surfin’ the web or reading a magazine while they play, but this one combines the feel of a mini-documentary and keeps it fresh and interesting. Big ups to GRiZ for all the recent success he’s seen. We see you dawg. #prettylights #edm #funk #glitch #biggigantic #music #colorado #soul #GRiZ #hop #boulder #paperdiamond #electro #redrocks #hip

Words by Timo Mitchel North Coast is this weekend and that means we’re nerding out, drinking beers and arguing over who’s set will reign supreme. Here’s 5 of our most anticipated sets the upcoming Chi-town get-down. src: ourvinyl.com Purity Ring This Canadian duo captures your ear as they blend beauty and beats seamlessly with an originality unlike anything you’ve heard before. The entrancing lyrics of Megan James are matched by the intrinsic sounds Corin Roddick demands from

The boys in Zoogma have finally released their much-anticipated full-length LP, Anthems 4 Androids. The album is free for download, BY CLICKING RIGHT HERE. The 11-track LP clocks in at about an hour, a quality amount of electro-rocking tunage from these Atlanta boys. And what timing, since they were just announced to be on the 5th annual AURA lineup, as well. I haven’t given it a full, proper listen yet so I don’t have many other comments, but I was so excited to share this w

The Disco Biscuits side project has announced their Fall 2013 tour dates, hitting most spots on the east coast. Potential Hulaween performance on 11/1 or 11/2? Whooooo knows!

One thing I can always dig about Adventure Club is their ability to mix it up. Although they can play some corny, over-done sounds at times, the fact that they mix everything from Killagraham to Disclosure to Vicetone to CandyLand is cool with me. From the melodic stuff to the heavy stuff, Adventure Club get down with their newest Superheroes Anonymous mix for our pleasure. If variety wasn’t enough, it’s a free download. Who can hate on that?

Earlier this evening, Disclosure debuted their Essential Mix on BBC Radio 1. While I expected the youngsters to simply mix all the hits off of the Settle LP, I was pleasantly surprised to see only one song from the masterful full-length was on the mix. As a matter of fact, in the entire 2 hour mix, only 2 Disclosure songs make the cut, period. What did make the cut are a bunch of artists I’ve never heard of, which can either attest to their ability to dig up deep cuts, or my

If there’s one thing that can be said about the greater NYC area, there’s absolutely no shortage of entertainment. If you’re not out doing something then that’s how you want it, you’re being held hostage, or you’re a boring person. I started writing this at the Long Reach train station in New Jersey, going off three hours of sleep after watching PANTyRAid turn Webster Hall in NYC into a trapaholic workshop for the ages, showing the city where hip hop was born why they wear co

Before last night, I had never really listened to Squarepusher. I’d sampled some songs on Youtube and read a little bit about his longevity, but mostly all I had to go on was the word of many artists who admire Aphex Twin and this guy… And soon this was accompanied by the most insane blend of live instrumentation, sequencing and glitch beats via drum & bass, experimental, acid jazz and music that makes my genre-specific way-of-mind hurt just a little bit. It was dark and heav

Yesterday we arrived to Electric Forest after a couple heavy days of traveling. Passing through Nashville, Louisville and Indianapolis all in the same drive was interesting, but nothing compared to the neon playground we walked up on last night. Thursday night served as the pre-party for the cheesiest electronica party of the year. (no I don’t mean cheesy like neon “Rage With Sluts” shirts… like the “String Cheese Incident” cheesy) With Suckerpunch and the Werks taking us in

Pirates like to get down. That’s the history lesson learned at Montana’s annual Pirate Party. The revelry featured headlining sets from Love and Light, Andreilien, Bluetech, Proper Motion and nearly 70 more DJs and producers from around the Northwest performing from dusk til dawn. The festival made port right next to Lolo Hot Springs after having three different homes in the previous years. The Bitterroot Mountains provided a stunning backdrop during the day as lush green for

Papadosio ended their 3-night run in Jacksonville on Saturday with a double set show, something that they may need to do more often. The two nights prior they handled their biggest headlining shows in Florida at the Culture Room and the State Theater. Both shows were slam packed for the band that has been frequenting the AURA Music & Arts Festival since its inception 4 years ago. The growth of the band has brought Papadosio to the spotlight of the jamtronica scene. The improv

With Electric Forest right around the corner, we had to update you guys n who we are really excited to see. From the glitch-hoppin’ Grizmatik + Special Guests to the country-rockin’ Railroad Earth, this festival has tons to offer music festival patrons. Can’t wait to get in the Forest! In No particular order, here we go… Digital Tape Machine When: Thursday, 9.00-10.15pm Where: Sherwood Court Why: Joel & Kris from Umphrey’s Mcgee team up with a turntablist, amongst other music
