Deadmau5 releases the makings of a new album? via Soundcloud!

Joel Zimmerman, better known by his stage name, Deadmau5, has posted several new songs on Soundcloud in the past 12 hours. The first, "Nyquist" which has already been labeled an electronic lullaby, can be found here, was him taking the fans back to 2005 when he released his first full length album, 'Get Scraped'.

"Errors in my head"


"Errors in my bread"

"Terrors in my bed"

"Sparrows made of lead"

These tracks feel like the mental wanderings of Deadmau5.  Is this a peek inside what is on the horizon?  Or just Mr. Zimmerman experimenting with new/old sounds?  Thoughts?

Young Wonder- "Orange" - Song of the Day [8/30/13]

Young Wonder an electric pop duo composed of producer Ian Ring and vocalists Rachel Koeman based in Cork, Ireland released their debut EP in March of 2012 on Feel Good Lost Records. With a synthesized beat, crystalline synth and a voice reminiscent of Bjork this single will leave you salivating for more.


Deadmau5 - "Nyquist"


Released less than 30 minutes ago, "Nyquist", Deadmau5's most recent single is him taking a step back to his first album, 'Get Scraped'. This is the experimental side of Joel Zimmerman that we have not seen since that 2005 release. This is the not the Deadmau5 that many fans are used to seeing, but it is the side of him this writer has longed for most. Give this song a listen and go into with an open mind. Check out 'Get Scraped' while you're at it, never a bad time.

GRiZ Drops First Ever Music Video and Is Lined Up For A Massive Fall Tour

 
Drops His First-Ever Official Music Video

"Smash The Funk"
 
Via Jay Z's Life+Times  
 
WATCH BELOW:

 
Get GRiZ's Mad Liberation LP (2012)
Free Download Available HERE

At a mere 23 years old, Detroit native Grant Kwiecinski (aka GRiZ) is an amalgam of talents that go beyond a simple description. A producer, DJ, and classically-trained saxophone player, GRiZ is bending and re-shaping electronic music with his funky, sax-infused sounds that find heart and soul within the beat of the dancefloor. In celebration of his sophomore album Rebel Era due out this fall, GRiZ just unleashed his very first official music video "Smash The Funk" via Jay Z's Life+Times.
 
Complete with stunning live visuals resembling sweeping mountain views, irresistible melodies poured over with gleaming sax and jacking rhythms, and intimate, honest conversation woven throughout, "Smash the Funk" serves as an intimate portrait of GRiZ. As premiered one year after his Mad Liberation LP released for free download via MyNameisGRiZ.com, the clip follows Grant around as he navigates three sold-out shows in Colorado following his move to the Rock Mountain Empire one year ago, rare moments relaxing with his crew and the countless, strenuous hours put into crafting his upcoming album due out this September. 

Grant says of the video, "This video is a look into my brief voyage as an artist and also behind the scenes of 3 sold out Colorado shows (boulder, Denver, and red rocks). I also wanted to do something completely different and have fun with the video so I took some old gear that had seen its day and retired it to the shooting range (it looks pretty badass in slow motion). I also talk a bit about what music means to me and where I have come from. Nearing the first anniversary of my debut album 'Mad Liberation' I wanted to release this video that has been a journey itself to create."

As visually arresting and profound as his live performances, GRiZ's new video takes us on a journey into the psyche of the young musician...and it's a thrilling experience. Get to know GRiZ and look out for his upcoming self-released Rebel Era LP soon available for free download on his site, as well as iTunes, Spotify and Beatport, as he hits the road on his biggest national headlining tour to date this fall (dates below).
 
 
"GRiZ took the stage and worked what seemed like the entire population of the Pretty Lights set from the night before into an insatiable frenzy."
  - LessThan3 

"The next big name in electronic music."
 - The North Coast Journal 

"Best of the night...the performance could have been two hours longer and people would have stayed to dance to GRiZ's alluring beats."
  - Paste Magazine (On his performance at Lollapalooza)

Kewella - "Party Monster" - If Only... [FREE DOWNLOAD]


Krewella has released two songs in the past 3 days. The first, "We Go Down", is a just an outright dance EDM song; the second, "Party Monster", released today, is an attempted Trap song. "We Go Down" was a valiant effort incorporating fast based basslines and vocalizations to bring us a tune worth listening to. "Party Monster" was just an outright atrocity. Not too sure what happened there, but better luck next time. In a comedic tradegy, "Party Monster" is a free download and unfortunately "We Go Down" is not. Stream them for free Soundcloud though.

Case & Point feat. Gamble & Burke - "More Than A Feeling" - [FREE DOWNLOAD]


The up and coming Boston based duo, Case & Point, teamed up with another relatively unkown duo, Gamble & Burke, to bring us a song that is not a Boston remix, called "More Than a Feeling". A simple electro-house beat paired with unequivocal male vocals bring us some solid progressive house tunes that will surely get you dancing. And as if it couldn't get any better, it's a free download. Scoop it now while it's hot!

Marvel Years - "Late Night" [FREE DOWNLOAD]


Just when I thought I had seen it all, the relatively unknown 19-year old producer out of Vermont, Marvel Years, delivers some extra funky electro soul style jams. This is some funky shit. Perfect for those warm summer nights this song brings in some guitar and a whole lot of heat to give us a tune that is getting us even more excited for his next release. This track is off a new album that is still in the works and is even up for free download, so snag it while it's hot people!


Disco Donnie Presents Celebrating 20 Years of Disco

 
Disco Donnie Presents
Celebrates 20 Years of Disco
 
A beaded portrait, created by a local New Orleans artist,
of Disco Donnie Presents founder and CEO, Donnie Estopinal.
 
After 20 Years In Existence, Award-Winning International Events and Promotions Company Disco Donnie Presents Celebrates and Reflects Upon Recent Partnership with SFX, 2013 Highlights,Artist Developmentm & Exciting Events Upcoming.
 
 
From what began as a party movement delivered by word of mouth and hand-written flyers on brightly-colored construction paper, Disco Donnie Presents (DDP) stands by its dedication to bring musical credibility, innovative productions, professionalism and excitement back to the live show experience. From their explosive, eye-catching visuals to their lineup that reads like a who's who list of the electronic music scene, the music promotions company consistently evokes their vision and programming perfectly - fast forward to today, 20 years later, and the DDP brand is one of the top of its kind in the entire nation. 
 
One cannot understand the full history of DDP without first knowing the man behind it all, Disco Donnie himself. Born James D. Estopinal Jr., the legendary promoter was an early pioneer of dance events in the middle of the Grunge age, "Disco Donnie's" intimate dance gatherings in his hometown of New Orleans quickly grew and eventually made him a timeless figure in the party scene. Despite his fun-loving persona, Disco Donnie has proven his hard work ethic in the business by creating some of the most well-known music events and promotions companies in the world.  A regular fixture on industry lists,  Disco Donnie ranked in the top 10 for In The Mix Power 50 players for 2013.
 
As another nominee on the list put it, “He’s the largest EDM promoter in what is currently the largest EDM market in the world. What more is there to say?” Additionally, he is a three-time winner of the illustriousURB Magazine Promoter of the Year Awardtwo-time recipient of the “30 Most Influential People in the Industry” by Club Systems Magazine, as well as one of “Dance Music’s Most Influential Executives” by Billboard Magazine
 
Following Disco Donnie Presents' recent partnership with NYC-based SFX, a premiere live electronic event and festival promoter, 2013 proved to be a banner year for Disco Donnie Presents. The year began with expansion into foreign markets beginning with Mexico's Alive Music Festival in January, and continuing with events in over five Mexican markets with major artists including Steve Aoki, Nervo, Knife Party and more.  At their very first Sundance Film Festival official after party, DDP hosted events with Kaskade, Nervo, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis left a lasting first impression indeed. The fun didn't stop there -- with March came an onslaught of events at Austin's SXSW collaborating with Benny Benassi and Ultra Records, Flosstradamus, Paul Oakenfold and many other big-name artists, as well as the opening of Scottsdale's Maya Beach Club with Calvin Harris in April. Add to that their recent new venture withMixify, and the company's success this year is apparent.  Disco Donnie Presents' total event attendance will entertain over one million fans this year. 
 
Furthermore, this expansion has allowed the brand to focus more on philanthropy in the past year DDP has set up initiatives that includes donating $10K to RICH House from their 2nd annual Sunset Music Festival, used $10K of proceeds from their 2013 Meltdown Music Festival for Red Cross following the Texas fertilizer plant explosion, and is dedicated to nurturing and giving back to the music community: the company has pledged their ongoing support to the Moog Foundation and just recently decided to match every donation collected by DDP on their behalf.
 
In addition to DDP's commitment to supporting key local charities and good-doing organizations, the brand places a heavy focus on the budding careers of up-and-coming DJs like Audien, Bro Safari, Candyland, Carnage, Crizzly, Figure, Mat Zo, Zomboy, etc. Although the brand is a huge supporter of booking these young artists just starting to bubble, Disco Donnie Presents has had the support of some of the most celebrated electronic acts in the world, who consistently sing his praises. Kaskade says, "Donnie is the man. A real believer in music...bringing it to places I never thought it could go. I love the guy."Remarks Paul Oakenfold"I have a long history with Donnie, I've found that he's very professional and understands the electronic world like no other. It's been a real pleasure working with him over the years." Donnie has closely followed and supported the careers of big-room DJs and artists including Dada Life, Kaskade, Deadmau5, Porter Robinson, Skrillex, Steve Aoki, Tiësto, Zedd, including recent acts such as Adventure Club and Krewella, who DDP has believed in from their start and has remained an integral part in launching their live career. This fall DDP is hosting more than 40% of the dates on the Krewella tour. 
 
With such a successful past 12 months, it's difficult to believe that Disco Donnie Presents is getting ready to kick off even more exhilarating events for Fall 2013 while continuing to branch out into entirely new territory.  For the the upcoming Labor Day holiday DDP certainly have every reason to celebrate at not just one, but three massive events,  including the wildly successful Mad Decent Block Party in Dallas onAugust 31,  the 3rd annual Sun City Music Festival in El Paso, and Isla Del Sol Fest Aug 31 & Sept 1with Major Lazer, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Showtek, Quintino and Carnage.
 
In the months to come DDP continues with its festivals and branded events abound,  launching a new venture with Electric Adventure - Sept 28 at Six Flags in New England and throwing their 2nd annual "Something Wicked" Halloween party in Houston on Oct 26, with Tiësto & more artists TBA. The 4th Annual Sound Wave in Scottsdale is also taking place with Tiesto, and Disco Donnie is taking on an entirely new branded event called Club Cirque in Tampa this October. Not much has changed since Donnie's early days of disco raving, and his events only get more forward-thinking and unique as time goes on.
 
As it stands, Disco Donnie Presents is North America's largest & longest running dance music network with over 100 markets, 5,000 shows since 1994, 600 events last year and countless top-tier DJs and musical guests booked annually. With over 1 million attendees expected in 2013, the brand continues to impress their patrons by making each event better than the last on an even larger scale --including festivals, outdoor events, and other parties bringing nothing but the best talent in the industry.Disco Donnie Presents is proof that even after 20 years disco ain't dead - so let's  keep dancing. #LIVEDISCO
