Inspired by the recent beautiful weather and that summer is just kicking off and sometimes there is nothing better than kicking your feet up, sip on a brew and jam out to some tracks on ice..
SOTA - Extrahelladope
Straight from the bay I bring you State of the Artist. These guys have been around for a while, with this track being one of my favorites. This tracks got west coast painted all over it with some mad hyphy vibes. Hit the jump below to check out their bandcamp.
DELS- GOB (David Andrew Sitek Remix)
Meet David Sitek. If you haven't heard of him, you should definitely check into him. A talented musician from the band 'Maximum Balloon', Sitek displays some of his handiwork on GOB by DELS.
Wax and EOM - Tijuana (feat. Herbal T)
Wax has been enfuego dropping two heavy mixtapes out in 2011 (his latest; Eviction Notice was released with Def Jam Records). This track takes you way back to 2008 off of Liquid Courage. Good luck trying to understand half of the song if you can't speak Spanish.. I heard tequila a few times though :)
Wax - Limousine (Acoustic/EOM Beabox Live at Knocksteady)
I would have done some dirty ghetto things to see Wax and EOM rock a live set together. 'Eviction Notice' shows a great example of what these two can accomplish together and it can only go up from here.
Manic Focus's new album, Expanding Mind is a electro fused hip-hop destroyer. His sound is like to Pretty Lights and one of our favorites,GRiZ. the album is jam packed with 9 bangers that will make for great listening.. or set the party off. give it a listen and support!
personal favs: check 'bad girls,' 'learn how to drop,' and strings on suga'
In the genre of electro music, DJ Chuckie is the king of dirty dutch. Needless to say I was very surprised when I stumbled into his set containing afro latin drums with some heavy kicking bass. I think its great to see a DJ/producer step out of their element and give a different genre a chance. In this instance, Chuckie delivers a set that will keep your feet moving for a straight hour.
I think everyone could say coming into this year that Alesso was one of the DJ's that would make the biggest climb up the DJ charts. However, it's safe to say that not even 6 months into the year he has surpassed everyone's previous expectations over and over again. He released the vocal edit of Calling (Lose my Mind) with Sebastian Ingrosso under Refune Records back in February. While most recently releasing his remix of Keane's "Silenced by the Night" currently sitting at #1 on the Beatport charts. The most exciting thing about his future is that it is only going to get better. He currently sits on at least six unreleased tracks that he has previewed as recent as last weekend at Electric Daisy in NYC. He has shown so far how well he is at producing solo or with others.
Here they are all!
First up is his own track "Years" with vocals by Matthew Koma
Alesso, Ingrosso, Angello "Eclipse (Why am I doing this)"
Alesso- Clash
Alesso & Dirty South "City of Dreams
Recently at EDC he has previewed two bomb new tracks

Ocean Club Sundays are back this summer. With Memorial Day Weekend right around the corner, The Ocean Club is kicking off Summer '12 right. This weekend OC, in association with Mass EDMC and NV Concepts, put together a very special MMW for everyone in the Boston area. Skrillex Friday, Christian Arango Saturday, and Nicky Romero for the opening night of OC Sundays. The Ocean Club is going to 'wicked' crazy this weekend.
Check out the OC Sunday schedule for the month of June.
Studying in Madrid this semester has given me many amazing opportunities. One of them has been the ability to see so many amazing concerts (from Prydz in Frankfurt, Alesso in Rome, to Sensation in Belgium). This time around I was able to see Dada Life perform for the second time right here in Madrid at Zoologico.
I previously had seen them at Sensation back in March, where I thought they did not live up to the role of being the closer of the show. However, it is very hard to do that when you have Mark Knight, Afrojack and Sander van Doorn lined up before you. This time around in Madrid, they were the biggest act and brought the energy to the room like you would expect them too. They started off their set with "Kick out the Epic Mother****er" to which the club responded explosively.
When you bring energy like they do to a playful group of party-goers that define Madrid's nightlife, crazy stuff is sure to go down. Or just plain stupid, in the case of a regular guy who tried to play hero and surf the crowd, that is until everyone suddenly moved and let him hit the floor! The night was also highlighted by their banana and champagne act, as well as feeding the front rowers a stream of Absolut.

Woah.. where have my last two weeks gone? It has been a none stop party in celebration of the end of my college career and I definitely overplayed all of my music on my ipod, to the point where none of it sounds appealing anymore.. Lucky for all of you, my music library is also graduating with me..
MONSTA is a crew of 3 guys in London who specialize in shocking vocals and filthy dubstep bass. My heart is not in dubstep, sometimes it can be overdone.. but MONSTA's tracks have bumped aside some of my favorite beats in the batting order.
Check out Messiah and Holdin On, which is a little more mellow but really displays Bryns vocals (which is why I'm guessing they chose to make it their debut single).
Bonus!! Here is an interview done by Cup of Coffee, its easy to tell these guys are still starting out together and are perfecting their sound and building their musical relationship.
