BradBiTT–CrunkasFUCK – Review

DUBSTEP, EDM NEWS, GLITCH HOP, HIPHOP, NEW RELEASES, REVIEWS

[wp_ad_camp_2] Brad Bitt’s use of samples – hip hop influence – and glitch hop/dub sound caught my attention immediately. But it’s probably best displayed in his most recent release – “Crunk as Fuck (Trailer Trash DrumStep Mix.” This kid is the sample king. He uses them in a way that is just INSANE! And so addicting! Even though this mix is 33 minutes long I’ve listened to it at least 10 times now. With a dash of reggae here and there and some crazy dance beats, Brad Bitt blends the lines between hiphop and EDM in a way that is without denial something that needs to be acknowledged. I think most of this mix could be played on both the major dance AND hiphop stations up here in Seattle. Being able to blend so many genres in a way that is appealing to all is a rare talent, and Brad

Stephen J. Kroos – My MusiQ – Part One & Two – Review

ALBUMS, EDM NEWS, REVIEWS

[wp_ad_camp_2] [wp_ad_camp_1] Stephen J. Kroos brings us “My MusiQ: Part One” and “My MusiQ : Part Two” showing the world that classic progressive house isn’t dead, and not only that but its still growing and ever changing just like the rest of the EDM genres. Both these albums have an old school house and trancey feel fused with with a spacey – galatic sounding melodic dub/glitch influence and a touch of 80’s disco-pop to finish off the “MusiQ” recipe. Stephen makes what I like to call “pretty beats;” a very melodic – beautiful sounding trance-ish track that just sounds down right, well, pretty. You can get lost in both these albums and in my opinion there’s really not one “bad” song on either Part one or Part two. And in fact I think it sounds best when played exactly how it’s

Photosynthesis: My Writer’s Journey, Part Deux

EDM NEWS

[wp_ad_camp_2] By Damen Smith-Draeko --Photosynthesis is an annual EDM music festival based here in Washington State. It’s a spiritual/psychedelic gathering of artists, vendors, mystics, laymen, fire dancers, and mavens that all come together in the spirit of putting forth the will-to-good-power. It’s not just the party or the music that so many people look forward to every year, but that feeling of a natural connection to the earth, to a softer wholeness that the fresh air, the ocean and mountains, and the history of the region presents. It does sound kinda corny and very hippie, doesn’t it? But that is what it comes down to. This is what I got from speaking with many of the guests and from interviewing many of the artists and performers. And I don’t think it’s corny at all. I think
