February 20th, 2012 CDELPERCIO UK dubstep producer Vodex (aka Luke Earl) only started producing dubstep a little over a year ago but that doesn’t mean he isn’t exceptional at what he does.

February 2nd, 2012 MichelleKUPP In an increasingly crowded genre, Dada Life consistently makes its musical presence known through hard-hitting, greasy releases and inspired branding tactics. Swedes Stefan & Olle are marketing geniuses, evidenced by their brilliant self-starring teaser videos and constant association and usage of bananas and champagne. It would be surprising if the pair soon found themselves signed [...]
