[wp_ad_camp_2] INDEPENDENT ARTIST MOCKS THE ESTABLISHMENT In the ever competitive music industry, it can be hard to be heard. Labels get bombarded by new material, and even if they wanted to, it's hard to find the time to give each prospect a fair chance. In the case of MAXIMANI, the frustration of trying be heard led to a creative surge and ultimately enough songs for an entire album! His song 'HELLO MR RECORD LABEL' specifically is a statement to MONSTERCAT. As Maximani is still waiting for them to listen to his demos he sent them two weeks ago... In his own words: “Choke on that!” Another front runner of the album is the song 'ROCKSTAR' – a really fun vocal cut grooving at max capacity and accompanied by a music video which will be a must see. Why? Because Maximani says so! M

[wp_ad_camp_2] Double the grittiness and filth, Dissonant is keen on his trademark style Dissonant releases his fantastic 3 track debut EP titled “Lightspeed”, throwing a powerhouse of fantastic stabs and classic dubstep growls back to the mix. His grudge comes with so much pump up and accelerating action it's difficult not to get completely immersed and dance straight away until you’re on repeat for the third time. Everything starts so fast and heavy with Burst. A mixture of trap and hardstyle elements with classic wobbles that make this a powerful gem of vintage and new gen Dubstep.  Lightspeed and Dr. Akula are as well as impressive or even more than the initial banger, taking everything a few notches up. Double the grittiness and filth, Dissonant is keen on his trademark style wh

[wp_ad_camp_2] Dub Mechanics – Deep Dark Places EP2 Releases Los Angeles based DJ and veteran producer Dub Mechanics launches his 79th release on his label Revv Shop Recordings. Deep Dark Places EP 2 brings a second round of deep dark tech mayhem for the fall season, following EP 1 released over summer. From the delicious super deep groove of 'Ain't It Sweet' to the tech house groover 'Budapest For Tea'. Then getting dirtier with 'Engineered Lifeform' and the peak tech house tune 'I'm A Freak' this EP delivers the goods. “I like to dance, it’s rare I go out and I’m motivated by the music to dance anymore. Especially on a deep night, dance floors are smarter than we would like them to be and as a DJ and a producer I’m trying to tap into that. You have to mix it up, give them a reas

[wp_ad_camp_2] EARBUTTER is a no-bullshit, hard working Sicilian DJ/producer with a relentless drive. Whether he resides in Florida or LA, he's been keeping a strong profile dropping killer bass tracks such as Hustlas and Customers and Tipsy Twerk which included a remix by REDNEK. Aside of the flawless production skills he also doubles as a stuntman in his own music videos. For Hustlas and Customers he jumped off a 30ft high bridge and performed multiple fight scenes. It's always a surprise what he comes up with next and we can only guess.. But first he serves us with a surprising remix. KEVIN GATES and BWA asked EARBUTTER to butter up Gates' latest single LA FAMILIA from his recently released album ISLAH. The official remix features a smooth 808 beat as the foundation for the twiste

Whoever you are – that’s your FLAVOR.” @WesRoby Flavor was born as a concept about having confidence in a person’s individuality. Flavor is not limited to any age, ethnicity or culture, but a personal confidence in a genuinely being who you are. Wes Roby (multi-talented artist) of Orlando, Florida created the song “FLAVOR” as an anthem for those confident in their individual differences. Super Stylers of the United Kingdom (most well known for their remix to Jessie J, Nicki Minaj and Arianna Grande’s “BANG BANG”) loved the song and recently created a “house” remix of “FLAVOR”.
