[wp_ad_camp_2] When I asked my favorite DJ/Producer Ananda Goldsmith aka Golden Toast (Ashland, OR) to perform at my 24th birthday party, I honestly didn’t think it was going to be possible. The kid has opened for The Crystal Method, just recently opened for DJ Shadow, played with Ill Gates and he’s only getting bigger. But being the super nice guy he is (which makes him that much more likeable as an artist) he agreed. I swore I re-read the messages over and over, jumping up and down, like a high-school…

[wp_ad_camp_2] Alex Fisher currently has productions out on labels like High Contrast, Reset, Spinnin, Fraction, Fektive, Future Focus and more. Time for a chat with this guy! In a few words, could you describe your style? I would describe it as a mix of House, Techtrance and Trance with influences from “the early days”. [wp_ad_camp_1] Is EDM the new Rock n Roll? I believe it is. DJ/producers are the new Beatles or Rolling Stones. Certainly after EDM has crossed over to The States. This opens up a door to a…

[wp_ad_camp_2] photo (c) Mathew Anderson Friday September 28th was arguably the climax of Decibel Festival. Motor City Masters took over Neumos nightclub and what a party it was! It was a night filled with smashing sets, all brought by artists coming from the birthplace of techno: Detroit. Jerry Abstract took the honors for opening the night. And unlike at other events, he was not just the opening DJ. No. He set the tone right away with a fierce set of grooving but powerful techno. Jerry took full use of the…

[wp_ad_camp_2] [wp_ad_camp_1] From the moment I heard even the first 20 seconds of “Crystallize” by Lindsey Stirling I was stunned, in love, amazed, baffled, and addicted all at the same time. I’ve listened to this song at least 20 times now and not only does it never get out but it still gives me chills!! Every single time!! Lindsey Stirling is a female violinist, musician, dancer, and composer from Utah who was a quarter finalist on the fifth season of “America’s Got Talent,” and was known as the “HipHop Violinist.”…

[wp_ad_camp_2] You’ve been on the forefront of the NW EDM scene for quite a while and always kept your ears open for multiple genres. You are known as a skilled tech house DJ, but more recently you have a lot of success with Booty and Trap music. What caught your interest in the Trap style? I have some background in hip hop, Chicago ghetto house, and booty music, so it was a natural progression when I discovered trap. It’s 140bpm+ so it was right up my alley. You have released…

[wp_ad_camp_2] DeadMau5 “Album title goes here” I felt like I had been waiting forever for the new DeadMau5 to come out. Finally this Tuesday it was in stores and available on iTunes. I downloaded it immediately, got out my notepad, started listening and taking notes. [wp_ad_camp_1] As a whole the new ATGH (“Album Title Goes Here”) is classic DeadMau5 at its best. Hypnotic melodies and addictive dance beats that make it impossible to not move in your seat. The tracks I thought best displayed this classic DeadMau5 house-style that made…

[wp_ad_camp_2] One of the most interesting panels the Decibel Festival Conference had to offer so far was the New Interfaces Of Musical Performance with Tim Thompson, Roger Linn, Moldover and Randy Jones. [wp_ad_camp_1] Electronic music has gained a lot of popularity over the years. However, partly due to the limitation of controllers, it has been very hard for performers to get a natural sound out of a synthesizer. IE, a guitar sound might sound good on a synthesizer by itself, but if a musician were to actually play a guitar…
