February 8th, 2013

Dayton O'Connor

Does this mean that Baauer is going to be the next PSY?

Trap producer Baauer has quickly ascended to the upper echelon of tastemaker approved beatmakers. It’s difficult to quantify a ranking like that, but here it goes. On one hand Baauer, real name Harry Rodrigues, is doing high-profile residencies at Las Vegas nightclubs and making tracks with legendary hip-hop producer Just Blaze.

MUSIC VIDEO: Usher – “Numb”

October 12th, 2012

James Shotwell

After getting fans into a frenzy with a preview earlier this week, Usher has released the video for his latest single, “Numb.” Taken from his recently released album, Looking 4 Myself, “Numb” is another one of the pop star’s forays into the world of EDM. I’m not sure when Usher jumped from urban pop to club music, but as long as it keeps sounding like this one I’m completely on board. You can view the video for “Numb” by clicking below.

Looking 4 Myself is available wherever music is sold.

August 14th, 2012

Grant Trimboli

President Obama has been on the cusp of everything cool in the digital world since his initial run over four years ago. Today he continued to show a deep connection with (or at least knowledge of) youth culture by releasing a new campaign video targeting fans of EDM. The clip features DJs from all walks of life discussing the importance of getting involved politically (and supporting their favorite candidate) while speaking as PSA-like as possible. It’s not exactly groundbreaking marketing, but it is a great play by a serious political candidate. Click past the jump to enjoy “DJs For Obama.”…

We haven’t reported on it because, well, it sounded pretty outlandish, but for the sake of argument – here is the quote/unquote “photographic evidence” of wrongdoing:

To put an end to the rumors, Excision has stepped forward with a response. His letter is rather lengthy, so I’ll save my thoughts for later and let you decide for …
