EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH MULTI TALENTED FLOW ZEN

[wp_ad_camp_2] I love talking to the crowd. It’s great for hyping them up, but it also allows them to hear you talking to them in real life, so it makes you human and gives the show a much more personal feel. [wp_ad_camp_1] We love your Together Again EP which features various styles. Where does your inspiration come from and the drive to get into various styles of music? I really consider myself a music artist and not a genre specific artist. I mean, I make all kinds of electronic music on the one hand and really organic, jazz influenced hip-hop on the other. I love both so I’ve always been into finding ways to merge various genres and styles together. Trying to find new combinations that work well is a big motivation. But Instead of merging a ton of styles in a couple track

[wp_ad_camp_2] [wp_ad_camp_1] Borgore is a wildly popular artist, touring the world with his own brand of dubstep. While on tour with Steve Aki and Waka Flocka Flame, we were able to catch up with him backstage. You're on this tour with Steve Aoki and Waka Flocka, how did you get picked up for it? Well, Steve and Waka and I are all good friends, and we've been working on music together, and Steve wanted to go on a tour that would be interesting and eclectic, something that's not the average electro show that's to be expected, and I think the kids really like it. Is there anything different you'll be doing yourself for this tour? Yeah, I'll go on Waka's set and drum, and Waka comes on my set and raps, and sometimes I'll go on Steve's set and drum. Everybody gets involved wit...

JUDGE JULES: LENSES MAKE ME LOOK RED-EYED LIKE A VAMPIRE

EDM NEWS, INTERVIEWS

[wp_ad_camp_2] [wp_ad_camp_1] How was Judgement Fridays this year? Firstly, a brand new venue, refurbed from top to bottom to the level of being unrecognisable, including a sound system so awesome it literally blows your mind. And a brand new concept, recognising the fact that a large volume of Ibiza clubbers now come for long weekend breaks, making Friday a very significant day. And, of course, or well-honed ability to throw a top party. What is a deciding factor for picking the line ups for the parties? A combination of established names and the willingness to take chances with the Djs whose productions have excited me most over the past 12 months. Year after year we have spotted Djs before they have come to prominence, which has generated a degree of loyalty enjoyed by fe...

EDM NEWS, INTERVIEWS

[wp_ad_camp_2] [wp_ad_camp_1] You had one of the longest running electronic nights at Trinity, one of Seattle's biggest nightclubs in the Seattle area. How did it come to an end and what can we expect from the last one? Thanks! One has to seriously love what they're doing to keep at it for this long in the same place. I love everyone at Trinity Nightclub. They ARE my family and it will be hard to say goodbye to them. The decision to end my tenure there is purely selfish on my part. I feel like I have hit every goal I can possibly achieve at Trinity and now I'm looking for more challenges: bigger crowds, more responsibility, higher profile events. Over these past seven years I've tried my best to as many people as possible but at this point in my career I'm focused on more personal...

[wp_ad_camp_2] [wp_ad_camp_1] We love your new record Stare Into The Stars. Tell us more about the background of that song Thanks! Glad you like it. Everything started over a year ago while me and Evan Mellows were working on this song 'Magic' featuring ex Pussycat Doll Kaya Jones.

And I go like: I wanna do a dance HIT with these awesome lyrics and melody! That's how everything started. Do you enjoy producing vocal tracks more than just instrumental ones?

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? ...
