HXV aka Heroes and Villains have made a lot of music. I mean a lot. If you look up Daniel Disaster's production credits, you may be surprised as to the names he has worked with in this industry. Here is a little hint: most of them are not collaborations with your favorite DJs; in fact, most of them are not even involved in this microcosmic elite electronic environment in which … [Read more...]

Jack Ü ft. Justin Bieber – Where are Ü Now (Music Video)
Skrillex and Diplo could not keep their names from EDM headlines if they tried. Their latest track with Justin Bieber aka the Beibs, is even gaining popularity with very elite news outlets. Recently Katie Couric interviewed Skrilly, and half of their conversation was circled around the unlikely pairing of EDM supergroup Jack Ü and the controversial pop sensation.

Album Review: Sugar Crush – New World Disorder
Aptly introduced with sirens and newscasters speaking in what is likely Portuguese, Sugar Crush's new album New World Disorder, released under the umbrella of their Dirty Kidz Gang, brings new meaning to what you think of as trap music. These guys speak Portuegese and not too much English so it is a wonder I even received the link to this album smoothly. Somehow, someway when … [Read more...]

The full extent of this elaborate endeavor can be found here, also embedded at the bottom of this interview. This is the cliff's notes version, if you will. Of course, I get from this interview with Skrillex, that Katie and the rest of the world are mostly concerned with the working with Justin Beiber that took place between Jack Ü and the Beibs, but it is nice to see one of … [Read more...]
Nero – Two Minds
Nero is chock full of fabulous, and we are reminded of this as they hit us with a newbie today. Their sound is very distinct, and "Two Minds" features this distinction, as does all of their catalogue. The female vocal tracks are something regularly recognized in their music, but everyone knows this distinct sound is one that withstands any commonality with any other artist in … [Read more...]
