The Electro Wars has been streaming live on pitchfork since Friday the 22nd. It is a documentary, by filmmaker Stephen A. Vasquez, covering how the electro genre was created and how genres are being mixed. There are several interviews with huge artists such as JUSTICE, A-Trak, Steve Aoki, Major Lazer, Boys Noize, Chromeo, LA Riots, and footage covering the evolution of electronic music and what the future holds for the genre.
Its streaming live until the 27th of April. Do not miss this, it’s huge!
‘Save The World’ was featured on Pete Tong’s Essential Mix on BBC Radio 1 yesterday (it happened to also be the first official radio play of this song). The Swedish House Mafia announced this will be released sometime in mid May. Needless to say, everyone wants a piece of this track. This may become the biggest tune of the year.
Australian DJ/Producer Tommy Trash kicks into 5th gear and gives us an electro bomb! Envision yourself as a boxer with your hood and jacket draped over your shoulders as you enter the ring. This is the song that is playing in the background as the crowd chants your name. Do you want to know why? It is ‘The End’ for your opposition.

The original mix (with vocals from Will.I.Am) got mixed reviews from the Dancing Astronaut community. However, the instrumental mix will receive a more positive reception. Another solid production from Wolfgang! N-JOY!

This progressive track has a very solid build. Be patient and listen through to 2:43 for the first drop, followed by some bomb vocals and a totally different drop at 3:42. This is the kind of track that has the potential to blow up big rooms and music festivals alike. The track comes as the lead single of DBN’s full release, DBN Loves…, so be sure to check out the album.

Juicy Beach, Robbie Rivera’s tropical 17 hour party, was for many the highlight day event of Miami Music Week. Relive the excitement with our video flashback.

At the luxe Bar Adagio in San Francisco, we chatted with superstar DJ duo Bingo Players. They’re hot off the heels of their latest release, “Cry (Just a Little)”, a track so good, you might just do a double take.

Released just over a month ago and mentioned here on DA, the Tron:Legacy R3C0NF1GUR3D album struck a deep chord with the EDM community because it served as further proof that the genre was taking on a more mainstream role in music.
In remembrance of this release, I am compelled to share this recent fan-made video edited to the less-publicized Glitch Mob remix of “Derezzed.” The tantalizing song complements the perfectly spliced scenes rather nicely, forming a montage of eye candy that is so beautiful in so many ways.
Have you heard of ResLive.com yet? If not, be prepared for a sort of mix between Second Life, World of Warcraft, and your choice of nightclub (or beach party). ResLive is a virtual music world that has already attracted some big-name talent for its virtual concerts: Jody Wisternoff played today, and in the near future both John Dahlback and Max Vangeli will be putting on shows.
Characters in ResLive are fully animated and come with an arsenal of dance moves, the majority of which are actually pretty lively. Of course, you have the standard WASD/arrow key for movement, but a particularly enticing feature is the ability to fly from locale to locale. Just today I had the chance to “break it down” (a move in the dance catalog) with fellow clubber Pineapple_grl_1. We chatted a bit about the music, but before long her friends had to fly her away. And off into the sky she went.
Being honest, I don’t think that virtual club life destinations like ResLive are going to pose any serious threat to brick and mortar establishments. Actual body movements (i.e. dancing), true face-to-face interactions with fellow lovers of house music, and perhaps most saliently, a club’s booming sound system are inimitable.
But it’s going to be very interesting to see where projects like this lead. Already I foresee the rise of digital high rollers: users who fork over actual money for electronic currency that can be used to purchase perks such as flashy clothing, bottle service, VIP tickets, and immediate entrance into the venue.
Of course, such talk is speculative at this point. But we shouldn’t be too surprised if, and when, it happens.
