EDM NEWS, INTERVIEWS

[wp_ad_camp_2] He puts on the next record, then turns around and goes back to her. I was like "OK, WTF is going on?" I peak up over the decks. All I see is her legs go up, and the DJ's bare ass… [wp_ad_camp_1] You recently broke all your bones after receiving a retarded song request. How long will your recovery take you estimate? Doctors are saying not until my next gig, in Feb/March. To properly recover doctors said I have to avoid music containing Afrojack, David Guetta, Steve Angello, LMFAO, Black Eyed Peas, Avicii, and Trance. Would you recommend a career as a DJ to young kids? What are the pros and cons? Is the Pope Catholic and making the world safe for pedophiles? YES.

DJ TWISTED DEE: DJ Phil B has a huge ___!!

EDM NEWS, INTERVIEWS

[wp_ad_camp_2] Sexy, primeval and powerful are adjectives used by fans of Denise Martello (professionally known as Twisted Dee) to describe her unique blend of tribal and progressive house music. Flawless mixing, soul-pounding basslines and dramatic drops and peaks draw crowds to the dance floor and keep them there. [wp_ad_camp_1] You are originally from New York, but moved to Orlando. Is there a big difference in these music scenes? YES, HUGE difference. The clubs here in Orlando are very radio based musically; There is not much that is "cutting edge" here. For these reasons, I don't really play in Orlando regularly. BUT, all that is going to change as I am getting ready to launch my own events here in Orlando in the very near future. How would you best describe your sound? ...

HOUSE SCENE LEGEND DADARA’S LIKE 4 REAL MANIFESTO!

EDM NEWS, EVENT NEWS, FUN STUFF

[wp_ad_camp_2] Once upon a time we lived on a planet that gifted us all we needed in overabundance, so much so that we shared many of these gifts amongst ourselves. If we liked what others were doing we'd reward them with an encouraging hug, and tell them so. But the introduction of a debt-based monetary system has increasingly made us turn what was once deemed human nature into product, and human relations into services. [wp_ad_camp_1] Not so long ago, this development led to a miraculous occurrence. A new technology turned the act of Liking into a commodity, hence into a symbolic totem and a new belief, at a time when faith in religion and our monetary system is crumbling. At first these 'Likes' seemed innocent, a gift bestowed upon us unconditionally and in overabundance. Some...

When I heard Underworld for the first time. Tell us more about Seattle’s Shameless crew which has been around for about a decade now. Shameless is just a bunch of super committed music junkies
