Dance music is like a drug. I can’t seem to get enough of it. I am always jamming to some form of this stuff. Whether listening to drums and bass or relaxing to chill out, my headphones are always being pumped with something new. When I first heard the single Empire I didn’t think anything of it.

While in New York City for Electric Zoo I had the chance to see ATB perform for the first time. I had heard good things about him both as a DJ and as a producer. I even knew all the words to most of his hit songs. He was performing on main stage, and I was ready to see him spin. When he came up to the decks, I had no idea what to expect. He played during the day, and while there were still a lot of people there to dance I figured a DJ of his talents would have been …
I first saw the name on an old Pink Floyd poster. It was the first time I saw the two words together and it stood out to me as not only a cool name but also a cool concept. It was very visual and got me thinking. It definitely stuck with me and related a lot of the ideas I wanted to communicate. What it really means to me is the concept that people and artists specifically go through their day eyes always looking for a moment of beauty or inspiration. It would be things that inspire people to create music and art. It would …
Dance music is a passion of mine. I don’t produce this stuff, but I listen to it more than anyone I know. In the world of dance music, it is tough living in the Midwest. We just don’t have a very good scene here in Indiana. You need to go to Chicago, LA, Miami, or New York to see some of the bigger and better DJs. Every now and then, however, this city will feature a huge name like Paul Van Dyk or DJ Irene. And last year, when these guys came to town, there was no question we would be in attendance. They played at Talbott Street, located in …
Boy do I have a treat for you today. My passion for dance music just doesn’t seem to be slowing down and in an effort to meet as many acts as I can while I write for this blog, I have come across a talent that I demand you listen to. I have been working …
The band that I am sitting with today needs no introduction. They bring to the stage a sound that is nearly impossible to replicate and a certain style that deserves some attention. They are dressed exactly how they sound, their album cover matches their style to perfection, and their sound begs for more. If I had to rate them on a scale of 1 to 10 as far as their overall image and branding is concerned, I would give them an 11. Sharing the stage with bands like the Sick …
It is rare for me to listen to a female singer and actually like what I hear. I don’t know if it is the fact that I feel most of their voices
The band that I am sitting with today comes from a genre that we just can’t seem to get enough of. Going back to the early days of guys like Green Day moving into the future with bands like Fall Out Boy these guys are a pure mix of solid sound with educated and experienced …
From the moment I saw this guy I knew I had land an interview with him. I am not sure if it was the confused look on his face or the ears from the hat he was wearing, but his pure creativity radiated off him like a bad smell. (Just for the records, he does not smell bad.) Add that to the fact that he has amazing lyrics, a polished set of instrumentals, and some graphic design work that could make the best designer jealous
The band that I am sitting with today truly understands what it takes to put on a rock show. The first time I saw these guys perform was at a battle of the bands put on by the Hard Rock Cafe. They did not win the battle, but they left a lasting impression. Their lyrics are honest, stemming from real life experiences. You can even see it on his face as he sings. Matching that with good old fashioned rock and roll music makes for a perfect combination to melting faces. On top of all of that these guys are true gentlemen and can spark
