D16 Ready For Attack With Release Of LuSH-101

EDM NEWS, FUN STUFF, GEAR
[wp_ad_camp_2] D16 Group, known for their software emulations of classic drum machines and synthesizers have announced the release date of LuSH-101. LuSH-101 is their take on the classic Roland SH 101 synthesizer. The bass synthesizer loved by everyone from Daft Punk to Josh Wink. [wp_ad_camp_1] It is a synthesizer created from modules that can be found in many modern virtual synthesizers, all combined into a single compact and logically intuitive design. However, this basic simplicity combined with its multilayer architecture turns it into an easy-to-use but extremely powerful instrument that can be programmed and tweaked quickly, almost effortlessly leveraging its maximum potential. The multilayer architecture guarantees that both the sound design possibilities and number of...

EDM NEWS, INTERVIEWS
[wp_ad_camp_2] Better known to his family and friends as Adrian Ivan, it’s under the assumed name of Mr Pit that he’s spent the last 5 years delivering one block-rocking track after another to the world’s trance floors. Markus Schulz is one of his biggest fans. Therefore, we are happy to have Mr. Pit featured in our series of daily DJ interviews at Hammarica.com! [wp_ad_camp_1] If you could describe your style with 3 words, what would these be? Naughty, Energic, Melodic How will trance sound 5 years from now? Only the time can tell for sure, but my suppose is that the actual trance music sound will morph into an even more club sound rather than one for listening at home. Is there any special collab coming up with Markus Schulz? Our recent collab "Push The Button" has

EDM NEWS
[wp_ad_camp_2] When I asked my favorite DJ/Producer Ananda Goldsmith aka Golden Toast (Ashland, OR) to perform at my 24th birthday party, I honestly didn’t think it was going to be possible. The kid has opened for The Crystal Method, just recently opened for DJ Shadow, played with Ill Gates and he’s only getting bigger. But being the super nice guy he is (which makes him that much more likeable as an artist) he agreed. I swore I re-read the messages over and over, jumping up and down, like a high-school girl on MTV’s “Sweet 16.” I immediately called my software/dubstep mixing “instructor” and close friend DJ Reflash (Port Townsend, WA) to help me pull everything together for the show.

[wp_ad_camp_2] Alex Fisher currently has productions out on labels like High Contrast, Reset, Spinnin, Fraction, Fektive, Future Focus and more. Time for a chat with this guy! In a few words, could you describe your style? I would describe it as a mix of House, Techtrance and Trance with influences from “the early days”. [wp_ad_camp_1] Is EDM the new Rock n Roll? I believe it is. DJ/producers are the new Beatles or Rolling Stones. Certainly after EDM has crossed over to The States. This opens up a door to a massive new audience. And because of social media like Facebook and Twitter, tracks can gain attention in very little time. If you could put one non-famous person in the spotlight who means a lot to you, other than you direct family or friends, who would that be and

Motor City Masters Partyrock Review

EDM NEWS
[wp_ad_camp_2] photo (c) Mathew Anderson Friday September 28th was arguably the climax of Decibel Festival. Motor City Masters took over Neumos nightclub and what a party it was! It was a night filled with smashing sets, all brought by artists coming from the birthplace of techno: Detroit. Jerry Abstract took the honors for opening the night. And unlike at other events, he was not just the opening DJ. No. He set the tone right away with a fierce set of grooving but powerful techno. Jerry took full use of the massive new sound system at Neumos nightclub. A system I had not seen or heard before called The Avalon by EAW. It not only looks beautiful, but the sound is crystal clear and punchy with an amazing bass response. As Jerry was playing some dubby off-beat stuff with 808 like kick d...

[wp_ad_camp_2] [wp_ad_camp_1] From the moment I heard even the first 20 seconds of “Crystallize” by Lindsey Stirling I was stunned, in love, amazed, baffled, and addicted all at the same time. I’ve listened to this song at least 20 times now and not only does it never get out but it still gives me chills!! Every single time!! Lindsey Stirling is a female violinist, musician, dancer, and composer from Utah who was a quarter finalist on the fifth season of “America’s Got Talent,” and was known as the “HipHop Violinist.” She likes to dabble in all genres of music from classical to hiphop to dubstep and more.

[wp_ad_camp_2] You've been on the forefront of the NW EDM scene for quite a while and always kept your ears open for multiple genres. You are known as a skilled tech house DJ, but more recently you have a lot of success with Booty and Trap music. What caught your interest in the Trap style? I have some background in hip hop, Chicago ghetto house, and booty music, so it was a natural progression when I discovered trap. It's 140bpm+ so it was right up my alley. You have released a number of successful mixtapes named Booty By The Pound. Are you planning on doing a recurring podcast and/or radio show in the future, or are you happy with releasing a single mix every so often? Naw, no radio shows for me. A podcast would be cool but I never have the time to really set one up and ke...
