0218 - Spit Hot Phosphor

I found something new about two weeks ago that has blown my mind.  I seriously can not stop listening to it.  Its the new track from Feint, called Phosphor.  It literally has everything that makes an excellent track; great vocal samples but nothing over whelming, driving feel, great tonality, and just an overall feeling of victory gained from defeating all your enemies....i mean its upbeat.  Check it out for yourself and be sure to pick it up if you loved it as much as I did!

Bonus Post

So we all know that electronic music has come so far.  From vinyl to Mp3, from overseas to America, and everything in between.  I never really realized how much this umbrella genre has come until I found this awesome mini-documentary done by Armada Music about the progression of dance music and how the stigma changed so drastically over the last 10 years.  How the transition to America and the label of EDM changed music and mainstream electronic artists.  If you have some free time, check it out and let me know what you think.  I like the point they make at the end about how EDM has had a bit of an identity crisis for the last few years, and now things are starting to get less eclectic and hopefully people will begin to find their strides as opposed to trying to cover every genre.  Thankfully a good portion don't and have found their groove and unique sound, musicians like Glitch Mob, Rezonate, and Starcadian come to mind, and I hope the rest of the genre follows suit.  Check out the documentary!

041 - Idolize the New

First of all, let me apologize for being so late with Friday's post.  It was saved in draft folder and was never published, I plan to do them a few days in advance so that they can be out on time everyday from here on out.  As a thank you for everyone being so understanding, I have a bonus mix for you all.  First, Mashup Monday brings us an incredible EDM mashup that tends to be a bit sparatic at points, but is overall a fantastic piece.

041 - Virtual Riot - Idols
Also today I bring you something truly incredible.  Over the weekend I attended Matsuri-Con with one of my best friends, DJ XMFD.  Though I was unable to hear his set, he has thankfully posted it for everyone to listen to.  It is a really awesome hour long mix that is honestly one of the best sets I have heard in a damn long time.  Enjoy it and be sure to check out his other stuff on soundcloud and mixcloud.  Enjoy, and see you back here tomorrow!
