Zedd, Calvin Harris, and more garner VMA nominations
If this year's VMA nominations are any indication, dance music is increasingly beginning to find its place in mainstream media. In past years similar nominations have been heralded as major accomplishments and milestones, but in 2013 the shock and xenophobia is beginning to wear off.
The Quack is Back! Duck Sauce releases ‘It’s You’
A-Trak and Armand Van Helden haven't released an original production since 2011's "Big Bad Wolf" and the dance music world has been patiently awaiting Duck Sauce's inevitable return ever since. Never one's to take themselves too seriously, "It's You" is a funk-fueled, sample driven groover that jostles and scratches with 1920's barber shop quartet vibes and the duo's classic house sensibilities. A fun trip from start to finish, "It's You" is a welcome change from the sounds of now -- and it's nice to have dance music's Laurel and Hardy back in the saddle - or should we say duckbill.
