I hope you guys like Drum and Bass. I have two heavy releases from a couple of major players in the DnB business.

Check out DJ Hollow Point's new mix for EFF 2012.
Just when we thought a clear picture for summer music festivals had been drawn…. a handful of stragglers waited until the dust had settled from all the major announcements (see: music festival roundup #3) to go public with their plans. Read on for the skinny on those late-summer events you forgot about- and maybe a few you didn’t already know about.
Bringing the finest of the week every week. Free DL's for your personal stash. Summer is here and it's time to get your camping gear ready. Here is some tracks to get you pumped for this year's shows!
Neopolitan is much like the ice cream it is named after. It’ s a mixture of Reggae, Electro, Disco, Soul, Hip-Hop, Rock, Dubstep, and R&B, flavors all blended into one creamy collection. When Dorsh Deans sat down to conceptualize the Neopolitan album, Dorsh realized with his given “Jaminglican” (Jamaican, English, and American) heritage, that he was in a unique position to represent a significantly large group of people authentically. Having spent his entire life as a soccer player in the U.S. and abroad, he wanted the album to mirror the workings of the World Cup, and its function to bring people together from all parts of the globe. Soccer exposed Dorsh to many cultures and he felt it was only appropriate that he share my experiences through another universal language, music.
How do you go about describing the Shpongle experience? That's really a problem, because , as a 16-year veteran of the electronic music scene, Simon Posford (the driving force behiond Shpongle) deserves better from those like me. Honing the live show as festivals from Tokyo to Topeka, Shpongle is a fixture at events like Coachella, Electric Forest, and Wakarusa. How to describe Shpongle live? A synaesthetic convergence of visual and sound. Part DJ set, part Laser-Floyd. Future-primitive. Shpongle's music? Calling it "psychedelic electronica" is a disservice, because it is so much more, encompassing cultural music from all over the globe, and the solid grooves of modern club music. Even as I write this, I realize it doesn't come close to encapsulating the live experience. Fortunately, Shpongle will be performing at the Vogue on May 8 on the Masquerade Tour with the full production in tow, and is an experience not to be missed in such an intimate venue. With four albums behind him and a fifth as-yet-untitled album set for release, I was finally able to get in touch with Simon to for this exclusive interview for Indymojo.com
By the time The Twin Cats took stage, The Mousetrap was a noisy cluster of people dancing, laughing, and bumping into each other over and over again. As we happily grooved away the few remaining hours of a very special 4.20, only one question remained unanswered: where the hell were all the food trucks at?
