One of the biggest musical events of this year didn't happen at a festival. It didn't happen in a club and it certainly didn't happen on a boat. One of the biggest spectacles in electronic music this year came from one of the biggest performers at one of the most beautiful venues in the entire world. Throughout 2014, Skrillex embarked on his world-wide Mothership Tour … [Read more...]

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Solidisco Talks Disco, CDJs, and Gives Advice
T'was an early Sunday morning in the beautiful city of New York, when a few of Moodswing's artists boarded a coach bus heading straight to the Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, CT for an end of the summer pool party. There was a bit of TWRK on the bus along with a splash of Brenamar club, and even some disco and funk from the guys of Solidisco. Despite everyone's depleted energy level … [Read more...]

The hypnotic and alluring "Faded" originally created by the lovely Zhu just got remixed into an entirely new monster. The guys from Vices teamed up with Jailo to produce an insane ode to Jersey--and respectably Baltimore--club kind of remix, which Benzi first premiered on his Diplo & Friends Mix.

8 Acts Not to miss at North Coast Music Festival 2014
Summer is slowly coming to a close. There's nothing we can do to slow it down (trust me, I have tried) but at least we can go out with a bang, right? Enter, North Coast Music Festival, labeled by many as 'Summer's Last Stand.' The Festival has made Chicago its home since 2010, and is for many the last big party before going back into real life for nine months. I tried to … [Read more...]
Logic – Driving Ms. Daisy (feat. Childish Gambino)
Logic comes through with a self-produced chilled out track featuring a verse from Childish Gambino in the form of "Driving Ms. Daisy". Definitely a slightly different sound from Logic than we've heard in the past, simply because of the added low-key vocal effects and layering. Similarly to Mac Miller/Larry Fisherman, Logic has slowly but surely brought along his production … [Read more...]
