Take away personal preferences or references to “selling out” and I don’t know anyone who hasn’t enjoyed a party put on by either Diplo, Switch or their violently malevolent offspring Major Lazer. Their choice of tracks is constantly a surprise and very cleverly plays to the home crowds every time, banging out classic anthems or [...]

Oooooooooh shiiiiit! Here we go again with another Foster The People “Pumped Up Kicks” remix making its rounds across the interweb. This time from heavy hitter celebrity DJ and friend of Newestra; Mr. DJ REFLEX.

We are proud to present the new mini-film for Kid Cudi’s “Mr Rager” directed by Jeremie Rozan of Surface to Air Studio!

The more I look out upon the vast musical wastes of pop culture, home to possibly some of the most disturbing and ugly of record execs creations, the more you can see little rays of sunshine, or patches of crisp green green grass springing up from the battered and burnt earth. With a wry smile [...]

Phooarrww blimey. So I have just returned from Ibiza, or as we would say in London Ibeeffaaa. I left the mobile, internet, twitter, facebook, all forms of modern communication behind and entered into a hedonistic world or blood sweat and rave, only to come back and find out I have missed many a gem from [...]

A new JUSTICE video, “AUDIO, VIDEO, DISCO” was released today for your audio/visual/disco pleasure. It’s the title track from their upcoming record due out October, 25. The video is filled with fancy transitions that showcase the duo’s determination and commitment to perfecting their sound. Just see how big their dog gets by the end of [...]

Saw these mothers rip it up [...]

You know that feeling when you find a really awesome song that not many people know about because you have labored and spent hours perusing beatport, blogs, and the deepest parts of the internet for it? Well I’m gonna give you that feeling without the cost. These songs are amazingly catchy, have epic drops, and [...]

Quickly becoming a household name in the eyewear world, handcrafted wooden sunglasses manufacturer Shwood presents their latest project to inspire natural creativity. Eric Singer and crew journey into the backwoods of Oregon to build a community hideaway up in the trees in hopes that travelers will find it and add their creative interpretation on it.

The smooth, souled up,  jazzed out vocals of Mr Ben Westbeech are infectious by themselves. Combine that with the new tracks and production on his new album and you have one most catchiest of record that should be scored as hit no.2 for this Bristol Bread Londoner. His latest single “Something For The Weekend” has [...]

Last night, I lucked out on a ticket to see the first of four L.A. shows that DEADMAU5 is playing as part of his Meowingtons Hax Tour. The place was packed, but because it was 16+ the lines for drinks were perfect. ZEDD started the night as everyone was coming in and getting situated. Then, [...]

That wild local group of Dirty Dance activists GDD™ once again pack up their party bus and head for Downtown Los Angeles with a treat for all you 18+ party people. It’s Sunday Muhfuggin Funday!!!

Sorry, for such a late post guys, but the last couple of weeks have been pretty hectic. Everyone who went to one of the five Tunnel Vision shows knows it was a treat. It was a demonstration and combination of skill, talent, creativity and technology. MR.LIF started the show with fire; PATEN LOCKE  and EDAN [...]

It’s probably because I haven’t listened to THE RAPTURE in so long, but this new album sounds as if they’re leaving their old dance-punk style and moving in a different direction. Maybe, they’ve still been playing and evolving, and 5 years later, this is where they are, or maybe it’s Phillipe Zdar’s production that is [...]

During our recent interview with MICKEY AVALON, he mentioned that he was releasing a new song and video this Tuesday and another one every two weeks following. “Rock Bottom”, a mellow track with an Black Keys-ish blues guitar riff creating movement, was the The song and video released today.
