Bro Safari is the alter-egoof DJ and producer, Knick. He’s already well-known and deeply established in the music scene as a result of his work with leading American Drum & Bass group Evol Intent. Not to mention, his wildly popular output as 1/2 of the genre-bending mash-up duo, Ludachrist. While his production work spans the entire spectrum of bass music, Bro Safari has been relentless at pushing his unique take on the Moombahton movement. As a result, Bro Safari is currently ushering in a new wave of listeners to the genre and he is set to be an early champion of the scene. With support from artists like Diplo, DJ Craze, Knife Party and more, it’s becoming increasingly apparent that Bro Safari is someone to keep an eye on.

MEMORIAL WEEKEND 2013 - TOPHER JONES @ INDY 500 SNAKE PIT

May 21, 2013 NYC

image

INDIANAPOLIS, IN—This Memorial Day Weekend Indy-native Topher Jones will be performing at the renowned Snake Pit presented by Miller Lite alongside EDM heavyweights Afrojack and Diplo during the 97th Indianapolis 500 on Sunday, May 26 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

In the past year Topher Jones has been taking the EDM world by storm with Beatport chart-topping hits like his college anthem ‘Brohammer,’ which was featured on legendary producer Gareth Emery’s Best of 2012 Mix, ‘Hello Chicago,’ a regular hit at Chicago Bulls games, and his remix of Tritonal & Kaeno’s ‘Azuca’ that jumped 40 spots on Beatport’s Electro House chart in less than a week. With a steady stream of releases on Ultra, OWSLA, Dim Mak, Garuda, Spinnin, and successfully headlining his first international “Hello North America Tour,” Topher’s proven that he’s a force to be reckoned with. Even Billboard recognized the rising stars recent accomplishments, placing him at No. 4 on their Next Big Sound chart late last month.

Though now residing in Chicago, Topher grew up in Indiana attending high school in Zionsville and graduating from DePauw University. While he’s been to many sporting events all over the world, this will be his first Indy 500.

“I can’t think of anything more American than the Indy 500,” Topher Jones said. “So there’s nowhere else I’d rather be than in the Snake Pit pumping up that crowd!”

Located inside Turn 3 in the massive IMS infield, the Snake Pit will open at 7 a.m. on Race Day and will rock IMS until the checkered flag waves. Any fan with a Race Day ticket and free Snake Pit wristband will be admitted.

EDM at the INDY 500. WOW. I’m speechless and quite intrigued. We’ve come a long way folks.

BURNSKI & MANIK TO RELEASE “YJG” ON CULPRIT MAY 27TH

May 21, 2013 NYC

image

M A N I K makes his fourth release on Culprit, making him (along with Lee Foss) the label’s true “resident” producer. Alongside him Burnski makes his full debut for Culprit, having been responsible for one of the label’s most memorable songs of 2012 ­ his remix of Subb­an’s ‘What I Do’.

Leeds bred but Berlin based Burnski and NYC’s M A N I K have combined successfully with two well regarded singles for Franck Roger’s Real Tone Records in the past year. This is their third single together, which stretches their musicality to suit Culprit’s sound.

‘Yellow Jacket Girl’ takes the duo’s retro house inspired sound palette and takes into a deeper and more sultry territory, with suggestive lyrics penned and sung by M A N I K adding a subtle element of sleaze to the song’s low slung groove.

Each artist picked a remixer of his choice ­ Leeds connection between Burnski and Laura Jones; M A N I K selecting fellow rider of the techno/disco line Maxxi Soundsystem. Both remixers are artists Culprit has been eager to add to its roster.

TRAP’S BEST KEPT SECRET COMES TO A CITY NEAR YOU + MUSIC DOWNLOAD

May 20, 2013

image

ƱZ ‘Up In Flames’ North American Summer Tour + “Trap Shit V16” Free Download!
 
ƱZ Reveals “Trap Shit V16“  Free Download on Soundcloud
 
ƱZ surfaced in 2012 with his amazing Trap Shit series on Soundcloud, with the never-before-heard “Trap Shit V16” revealed today for free download. Last month, ƱZ released “Trap Shit V12/13” on Boys Noize Records (listen here) with remixes from Justin Martin, Clicks & Whistles and Audionite out now. Immediately gaining attention and praise from tastemakers and top record labels, ƱZ has since also dropped records on Mad Decent, OWSLA, Mau5trap, and SMOG. “UZ tunes are drunken energy sub bass and cartoon horn stabs that make my stomach feel weird and my feet shuffle,” Diplo writes. Though the details of his personal identity are unknown, his productions and style have a life of their own. His sounds are minimal, yet powerful, with a menacing intensity, maturity, and restraint. And as anyone who has witnessed him live can attest, one must see to believe. He is more than a sound, or a mask, and can only be described as one thing: ƱZ.
 
Check out a rare interview with ƱZ on YouTube at Red Bull Studios in Los Angeles, where he recorded his highly acclaimed “ƱZ BallTrap Muzic Vol. 1” mixtape released on Clubtapes.com, featuring Trinidad James, Trae Tha Truth, Problem, Salva, Iamsu, Casey Veggies, Djemba Djemba, Clicks & Whistles, Trap Arnold, Thoth, Paz, CRNKN and Baauer.

MUSIC PREVIEW: MOGUAI’S 1st SINGLE ‘PUNKOMAT’ - OUT JUNE 24

May 19, 2013 NYC


12 years since its inception PUNX is back to once again deliver the best and most forward-thinking electronic music that can be found on the planet. Helmed by Andre Tegeler – aka iconic German dance music mainstay MOGUAI – PUNX began life in 2001 presenting new and different releases to the world such as ‘The Rock’, ‘U Know Y’, ‘Get On’ and ‘Freaks’, which were championed by the biggest and best DJs including the likes of Pete Tong and Fatboy Slim. Now, new life has been breathed into the label and there’s a glut of masterful music on its way!
The increasing effect of the music industry’s digitization on the vinyl only imprint – and a resulting change in sound – brought about the hiatus from PUNX for MOGUAI and saw him release on other labels such as Size, Skint and mau5trap, with him bringing out his albums ‘LYVE’ and ‘MPIRE’ on the latter. MOGUAI now feels the time is ripe for a change and a return to thinking that brought about PUNX first time round:
“When I first started PUNX it was about providing a platform for different and exciting music. It was about sounds that were unique and didn’t conform. Right now dance music is getting to a point where more and more tracks are sounding the same, so to me it is the perfect time to revisit the original thinking and go against the grain. It’s a kind of revolution, where it’s not about how many units are sold but about providing DJs – and in turn audiences – with fresh sounds that they’ve never heard before.”
To help put this new transformation into effect, MOGUAI has teamed up with one of the finest dance music labels in the world – Spinnin’ Records. They recognize and share the same forward-thinking, finger-on-the-pulse nature that MOGUAI possesses and will lend extra expertise in carving a fresh path for electronic music. The first chapter in the new story of PUNX will be MOGUAI’s brand new single ‘PunkOmat’, which is set for release on Monday 24th June. Further details will be announced very soon, but for now check out this the preview on YouTube!
