Fußball Donnerstag

Germany plays Portugal in the Euros today at 130 local time. It’s do or die time as the loser goes home, and the winner continues on. After the bittersweet finish in the ’06 World Cup, losing to Italy in the semi’s, but then beating Portugal in the 3rd place match… the world will definitely be […]

Lollapalooza Schedule Finally Released…

I mean seriously… why the hell did it take this long for the Lolla schedule to come out. The festival is less than 5 weeks away, and some people need to schedule vacation days. Looking at the band list at first glance seems pretty sweet, I mean there are a LOT of awesome acts playing […]

Know: DJ Elijah

[A word of caution: This is an EPIC post. I sometimes feel that that word is thrown around too lightly; “epic banger”, “epic sound”, “epic ass on that chicka”, etc… Well in this case it holds true to the word, before 1337 speak went mainstream. So please everyone grab your ankles and enjoy some hardcore […]

New DJ Elijah Mixtape

I’ll be presenting a longer post in a day or so profining one of my good frineds DJ Elijah. But in the meantime, get to know his style a little bit more with a new mixtape he made. He’s a drum and bass connoisseur that just ‘gets’ music. He’s able to seamlessly mix a lot […]

Crookers to visit Chitown

Crookers first ever visit to the States will be a kicking-off shindig for their NA tour. And what other venue can host such an act than Smartbar here in our little town of Chicago? The killing starts June 20th when the Italian dj’s will be lighting decks on fire and eating babies along side Chicago […]

The Bot

Do you all remember my post a little while ago featuring the Pnau remix by Breakbot? Wasn’t that song just a pleasant break in the sometimes tedious and repetitive electro genre? It’s not all just about the heavy distorted bass and glitched-out synths. Sometimes it takes a nice gentle keyboard that can make a track […]

Daft Punk vs DigiKid84 /nu disco

You know how much I love the 80’s inspired electro, right? DigiKid84 is at the pinnacle of that movement, which is lead by the likes of Futurecop!, Xinobi, Hot Pink Delorean, and Moulinex. I dont think there is anything I need to say about Daft Punk’s late killer off Discovery, “Face to Face”; so I […]
