At the time Century Media Records started promoting this new album by psychedelic black metallers Nachtmystium (meaning: Encompassing Darkness), word was that the band’s mastermind, Blake Judd, had decided to break up the band. According to Wiki, he made this decision prior to going away for drug rehabilitation, and they also quote him as more…

Nobody likes saying anything negative about Jenny Lewis. She’s never released a bad album and has generally been a very prolific singer/songwriter, pumping out albums every couple of years — if not more often — for well over a decade now. Until recently, that is. Her new solo album, The Voyager, comes six years after…

Hard to believe but Danny Darko has released over thirty Top 50 Releases on the Beatport Genre Charts. Equally impressive: his Youtube channel, launched in 2012, has received over 4 million views. We suppose that’s just what happens when you get kudos from DJ Tiesto, Armin Van Buuren, Paul Van Dyk, Pete Tong, Judge Jules,…

If you like M.I.A. then you’ll more than likely dig “Ping Pong,” this hot new tune by Mighty Mark featuring TT The Artist and Sushi Samson, “Ping Pong.” Lyrically, it certainly doesn’t break new ground; “Big booty, shake it, shake it.” And if you’re stick of twerking then you probably shouldn’t pay much attention to…

On his last couple of albums, Lenny Kravitz was all about peace and love and understanding. He all but sang about flower power. While his new tune, “Sex,” isn’t very far removed from that, it does find Kravitz’s fancy fretwork in a much more raw mode than on those records. In fact, this just might…

Pixie Lott’s new EP kicks off with her new single of the same name, “Lay Me Down,” which, like “Nasty” before it, finds the singer back in full pop mode after taking a disappointing R&B detour on her second album, Young Foolish Happy, which was far inferior to her debut, Turn It Up. I really…

Yes, it’s true. Like it or not (we like it), Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett have recorded an entire album of duets together. From what we understand, the album consists entirely of covers and it’s called Cheek To Cheek and drops September 23, 2014. The first single is a short but infectious ditty called “Anything…

As the story goes, Angus and Julia Stone were happy with their solo careers and had no plans to make another album together. Ever. They didn’t hate each other or anything like that. They simply went in two different directions musically and didn’t feel they would ever be in the same place, stylistically speaking, to…

SPC ECO: THE ART OF POP The best artists are those who are constantly changing colors like a chameleon if not downright evolving and SPC ECO make a great leap forward with The Art of Pop, an album that ditches all of those raw, distorted guitars in favor of delicious, pristine pop beats, uplifting melodies…

OK, so technically this is only about half a song, sung while she’s sitting in her car, but if she can sound this good live then you know darn well her forthcoming EP is going to be incredible. Especially if it has this lovely song on it. “I’ll take you higher than the Eiffel Tower,”…

It’s no secret that I love California-themed songs and that’s a large part of why I’m digging this new tune by Amelia Lily. But I also like it because it’s an infectious pop song with an invigorating rock edge, Lily (and whoever works with her) opting to use drums and rock guitars instead of your…

Collaborating with everyone from Tiesto, Armin Van Buuren and Paul Van Dyk to Pete Tong and Gareth Emery, Danny Darko is already a club-killing legend with more than thirty releases in the Top 50 on Beatport’s Genre Charts and 4 million views on his Youtube channel. His latest slice of club kiddie heaven is a…
