Photosynthesis 5.0 – My Writer’s Journey

[wp_ad_camp_2] By Damen Smith-Draeko -- This was the fifth in the series. I’d made the third and now this one, Photosynthesis 5.0 in Neah Bay Washington. Through opening day anxieties, incredible performances, really engaging people, and inspirational interviews with some of the most compelling and thankfully very accommodating artists I'd ever met, it all turned out to be an even more enriching experience than I would have ever dared anticipated. I love Neah Bay. I haven't been in love with a place like this since Okinawa. This was perhaps different because it's at the northern tip of my home continent. I was born in North America, so I'm thinking that there is more of a natural connection here than with the sub-tropical island in the Far East. As I stare from the beach, watching th

You wanna know glitch-hop? Sit down – have some “Toast.”

ALBUMS, EDM NEWS, REVIEWS

[wp_ad_camp_2] [wp_ad_camp_1] By Kate O'Connell -- If you were looking for a flawless representation of “glitch-hop” this track – even more so this artist, would be a good start. Ananda Goldsmith (20) aka (DJ) Golden Toast is an up and coming producer/ DJ from Ashland, Oregon who is putting his name on the map with tracks like “Big Bug”; which are just as completely original as they are completely addicting. Somehow in “Big Bug” Golden Toast seamlessly finds a way to create a funky-groovy glitch-hop sound with a heavy bass line, infectious loops and a midtempo dance beat. And while this track displays his technical skill and obvious original and individual sound – he covers all genres of EDM – and he covers them WELL. From mashups, to remixes, to complete originals – from dub -step

Sensation USA Is Coming!

EDM NEWS, EVENT NEWS

[wp_ad_camp_2] [wp_ad_camp_1] Sensation USA will finally land in New York City, twelve years after its debut in Amsterdam, Holland. At the time, Sensation was a new concept set-up by ID&T Events. ID&T had been promoting events for about a decade. They began the company with a set of raves under the Thunderdome moniker which focused on the hardcore house- or so called Gabber scene. Towards the end of the nineties, dance music fans became a bit more mellow and therefore a concept called Innercity was launched. It was a highly successful event which ultimately ignited Tiesto's international DJ career. A TV crew recorded the event just after Tiesto had performed and he was crying out of joy in front of the TV cameras. ID&T tried to bring this indoor festival to international ci...

Bath Salts Make It To The EDM Dance Floors

EDM NEWS, REVIEWS

[wp_ad_camp_2] [wp_ad_camp_1] After all the face-eating weirdness of the past months, bath salts got the blame for it. Do bath salts really make you eat faces? We don't know and frankly, we don't want to try it out either. Yet, we have seen several videos of people on bath salts and their stories after the facts. Let's just keep it to the fact that bath salts don't make you look particular pretty. Whether you are the one taking the bath salts, or fall victim to a person with the munchies. Well, long story short: ZXX & Paul Anthony decided it was time for a true Bath Salts Anthem. Thankfully their soundtrack won't make you eat faces, but it is a great punchy electro banger for the dancefloor nonetheless! http://www.beatport.com/release/bath-salts/939225 [wp_ad_camp_5] [

The New Law: A Great Argument For Hybrid Electric

EDM NEWS, INTERVIEWS

[wp_ad_camp_2] By Damen Smith-Draeko -- Almost a month ago, it was a rare, dry and warm Friday night here in Seattle. It was rare that it was both dry and warm, and it was rare that I’d ventured out into the world that night away from the drawing board. I found myself at the Lo-Fi Performance Gallery. Every third Friday of the month (or moonth if you want to go all Celtic and stuff) the music label Innerflight hosts a show at this venue. I decided to leave the house and partake of the dancing and debauchery. Actually there was much more of the former than the latter, and…well, I really don’t know how I feel about that. <whisper>I like debauchery.<./whisper> Going to the Lo-Fi Performance Gallery that night was actually a very good choice. Along with the pleasant
