Walk In The Fire with Dirtyphonics and their Debut Album Irreverrence

Dirtyphonics released their debut album entitled Irreverence yesterday which has instantaneously captured the attention of Dirtyphonics fans, EDM fans and quality music fans alike.  Well-known for their skillful experimenting and blending of various genres such as drum and bass, dubstep, electro house and even electro rock, once again, Dirtyphonics did not fail to deliver us a heavy dose of originality with their new album.  Irreverence gives us a taste of the classic Dirtyphonics we know and love while still displaying their further development as artists.  Irreverance features Dirtyphonics collaborations with Steve Aoki (Stage Divers), Modestep (Los Angeles), Foreign Beggars (No Stopping Us) and Leila Moss (Hanging on Me)    In addition to giving us 10 of the most kick-ass Dirtyphonics tracks thus far, the guys tackled the unlikely feat of defining their already original sound with some of the hardcore elements of heavy metal with their track Walk in the Fire.  Don't be alarmed by the intense guitar riffs and blast beats kicking this track off; they only add to the intensity of this darkly satisfying metal/drum and bass track.  Now here's something to share with your metalheads and your bassheads. The Paris natives have been producing music together since 2004:

Vandals (2009)

Me & You (Remix) (2010)

Play for Real (Remix) (2011)

I Need Your Love (2012)

Dirty (2012)

With their countless successful tracks and the dramatic positive feedback following the release of Irreverence after just one day, the guys of Dirtyphonics are showing no signs of slowing down. By now I'm sure you're dying to hear the highly anticipated album you've been hearing so much about.  It's finally here!  You can check out the entire album on Dim Mak Records before you buy it on iTunes.  

I had the privilege of catching their set at the UKF US Launch Party this passed winter and I can promise, you do not want to miss the high energy they bring to a live performance. You can catch Dirtyphonics on tour this summer at Tomorrowland, Cochella and Euphoria Festival or you can also get tickets to one of the shows on their current tour right HERE.

Bassnectar Brings Good Vibes to Terminal 5

What better place to round out a 9 month long Freestyle Tour than in New York City? Bassnectar did just that with his final two shows on November 18th and 19th at Terminal 5.  With his two-hour long set Bassnectar transported Terminal 5 to another world of bass, love and good vibes.  While the majority of his set consisted of his own tracks, Bassnectar also featured some tracks produced by other EDM artists like Run DMT After an hour of raging, Bassnectar put a halt to his set to take a few moments to remind his fans of his emphasis on good vibes and, as always, to take a "family photo." During his already trance-like track, Butterfly, all perception of time was lost.  Out of the countless EDM shows I've been too, Bassnectar's visuals and light show were, by far, the most captivating I've yet to see.  Two hours of music felt like less than one and by the end of the night, even after ending his set with a crowd favorite, his Pink Elephants Remix, the crowd was still begging for more.

While audio alone is hardly comparable to the intensity of a Bassnectar show, 
here's a taste of a few incredible tracks you can expect to be unable to resist raging to whether it be at a show or by yourself at home:

TImestretch (2012)
Butterfly ft. Mimi Page (2012)
Ping Pong (2012)
The Matrix (2011)
Plugged In (2011)
Red Step (2011)
Magical World ft. Nelly Furtado (2010)
Bass Head (2010)
