It's been a rough year for Toronto-based DJ deadmau5. First, he gets trashed by electro pioneers Daft Punk. Then, Kat Von D breaks off their engagement and blasts him for infidelity on Twitter. It should come as no surprise that Mr. Mau5 is desperate to get back in to his music. He's released two new tracks (both of which have titles that seem oddly poignant given the recent split): "You There?" and "Suckfest9001." Read More »

Avicii 'could be the one' to take electronic dance music to a whole new 'level' with the premiere of his newest single ''Wake Me Up." While the DJ's 2011 dance anthem, "Levels" helped to mainstream EDM a few years back, Tim Bergling's first song off of his upcoming album, 'TRUE,' can be considered anything but a typical house track. Avicii teased his new unexpected sound with a unique set during Miami's Ultra Music Festival back in March. It featured live instruments and a kind of country twang that left puzzled fans wondering if they were supposed to "do si do" rather than "beat the beat." The wait for Avicii's highly anticipated new sound is finally over as the Swedish DJ released his first single entitled 'Wake me Up' on June 25th in the US (LISTEN below). His first debut record is set to drop on September 17th, according to Billboard, and the LP will be the first to be unleashed under a new partnership between PRMD Music and Island Records Read More »
