Lolabeam Partyrock Hammarica PR

[wp_ad_camp_2] When I asked my favorite DJ/Producer Ananda Goldsmith aka Golden Toast (Ashland, OR) to perform at my 24th birthday party, I honestly didn’t think it was going to be possible. The kid has opened for The Crystal Method, just recently opened for DJ Shadow, played with Ill Gates and he’s only getting bigger. But being the super nice guy he is (which makes him that much more likeable as an artist) he agreed. I swore I re-read the messages over and over, jumping up and down, like a high-school…

[wp_ad_camp_2] photo (c) Mathew Anderson Friday September 28th was arguably the climax of Decibel Festival. Motor City Masters took over Neumos nightclub and what a party it was! It was a night filled with smashing sets, all brought by artists coming from the birthplace of techno: Detroit. Jerry Abstract took the honors for opening the night. And unlike at other events, he was not just the opening DJ. No. He set the tone right away with a fierce set of grooving but powerful techno. Jerry took full use of the…

DJ Interviews

[wp_ad_camp_2] You’ve been on the forefront of the NW EDM scene for quite a while and always kept your ears open for multiple genres. You are known as a skilled tech house DJ, but more recently you have a lot of success with Booty and Trap music. What caught your interest in the Trap style? I have some background in hip hop, Chicago ghetto house, and booty music, so it was a natural progression when I discovered trap. It’s 140bpm+ so it was right up my alley. You have released…

Decibel Festival Conference Geeks Up With Controller Gear Showcase

EDM Songs Team
Decibel Festival Seattle

[wp_ad_camp_2] One of the most interesting panels the Decibel Festival  Conference had to offer so far was the New Interfaces Of Musical Performance with Tim Thompson, Roger Linn, Moldover and Randy Jones. [wp_ad_camp_1] Electronic music has gained a lot of popularity over the years. However, partly due to the limitation of controllers, it has been very hard for performers to get a natural sound out of a synthesizer.
