Seven Days In Dada Land: Episode 4 // Epic Video Series

Posted by chaddowns on

The episodes just get better and better. There’s two things I am a HUGE fan of VICE: the tongue and-cheek, in your face, documentary film company; and EDM Music. So when Vice started a new channel: THUMP: which basically is a EDM documentary channel, I flipped my shit.

The (so a far) four part episode series featuring ‘One Lucky Fan Going On Tour With Dada Life‘ is super insightful to their lives and personality of the two Swedish EDM stars. Watch the video below.

Paris Hilton signs with Cash Money Records to release a House Album

Posted by chaddowns on

This is what EDMTunes.com had to say about Paris Hilton new change:

“Love it or hate it (you probably hate it), Paris Hilton has signed with Cash Money Records, joining the likings of other rappers such as Drake, Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, Tyga, and more. However, she “apparently” has a talent that these rappers don’t: the ability to make a house album.

“This is a lot different than my first album,” Paris said. “It’s really going to be house music.”

Having turned many heads this past year alone, she doesn’t seem to be discouraged by any critics. Oh dear, just when you thought it couldn’t have gotten any worst. Check this out, she was “literally killing it.” at her gig in Brazil.”

Bro Safari & UFO! – Animal LP

Posted by chaddowns on

Damn, what is needed to be said. Bro Safari literally says it all i this upcoming quote. Everything is in the album, this is the future people, don’t miss it.

“So…

Here it is. The album that we’ve been talking about for over a year. Scheduling conflicts be damned, we made it happen! Yes, the process was long, and at times it was even a little grueling, but we stuck to our guns and we couldn’t be happier with the results.

Originally, we created about 16 tracks for the album, and then we narrowed it down to the songs that you have in front of you today. It was important to us that we create a collection of music that crossed multiple styles and genres, yet told a coherent story. It’s not an easy thing to do, but we feel like we pulled it off by using themes, samples, techniques and by consciously assessing what did and did not work together.

We feel like there is something for everyone on this record and we’re very pleased with the fact that we can offer this to everyone for free. All we ask is that you listen to it with an open mind, share it with your friends and come say hello whenever we play a show in your city.

So, once again – Thank you to each and every person that showed us support over the last few years. We love working together, and have already discussed plans for a follow up album.

For now, enjoy ANIMAL!

Moiez – Free Tracks + EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW

Posted by chaddowns on

If there’s one thing Moiez is talented at. It’s progressive house. The Vancouver-based musician has remixed some of the greats, such as Steve Angello, Hardwell, and  Armin Van Buuren. His remix of ‘This Is What It Feels Like” buzzed across the blogosphere and luckily caught my eye. I was beyond engulfed in the sound the first time I heard it. The effects Moiez adds to his sounds not only matches the professional  quality sound of the original, but goes beyond what most remixers would expect to achieve.

I had the chance to share a view words with the up-and-coming artists. Really nice guy, very open to sharing, caring, collaborating, spreading EDM love, an all around positive guy. PLUR life! haha. Check out the interview below.

Chad: Thanks for doing this interview, sorry it took a while, but time doesn’t slow the inspiration your remix brings the world! What got you into EDM music and culture? Where did you’re Musical journey start?
 .
Moiez: Hey Chad! Its good to meet you dude, thanks for reaching out and asking for an interview!
I got into EDM when I was in the 9th grade. I was introduced to artists such as Armin, Tiesto, Dash Berlin, and was hooked right away.

.
Chad: To Start off, how old are you ?
.
Moiez: I started messing around after being introduced to the software FL Studio. After getting the hang of producing, I started with Hip-hop, entered a contest, and won it when I was in a duo called TheSoundCrate. I was the only contestant who had won two tracks, and this really helped me gain some confidence in my productions. As soon as I was introduced to EDM, I started producing it and developing my own sound. As of last year, I started sending out my music to a blog I am a big fan of called FreshNewTracks, they loved my music, and since then I have been working on under the name Moiez.
I just turned 21 on May 10th.
 .
Chad: That’s super cool. Seems like a positive rise in success since you’ve started. I know that blog, their music taste are great too. So what’s the next step for Moiez?

 .
Moiez: Thanks! I couldn’t have done all this without the support of blogs such as Brainless Beats, and many more who I try my best to mention and thank each and every day.
.
The next step is to get out there and play some reputable shows. I really love DJing, its one of aspect of creating EDM that I can’t say is the same with each and every genre of music. I have my debut in Chicago at SAMF, a few gigs on the side while I’m there, and on June 1st, I am opening for Project 46. I will also be working on a ton of music this summer, I always like having multiple releases ready to go! For the long term, i really would like to establish myself as a successful producer and be able to play alongside some of my idols. I really just want my music to reach the globe and to expand my fan base.
.
Chad: What future plans did the success of the Armin remix bring you?
.
Moiez: The success of the Armin remix has really helped me understand the power of social media even more. I think creating melodic remixes and then bouncing back to the more hard-hitting club tracks has also helped train myself and improve my skills as a producer too.

.
Chad: Hell ya! Love it man, who are you idols and what are to current favorite songs/artists?
.
Moiez: I really look up to Armin, Alesso, Avicii, SHM, Axwell and Sebastian Ingrosso in particular, Hardwell, Dyro, Tiesto, Dash Berlin, I have many favourites.
My favourite song right now would be Leprechauns and Unicorns, or Never Say Goodbye, oh and Beautiful Life by Armin.
.
 Chad: What type of software do you use?
 .
Moiez: I use Fl studio for producing, and I Traktor for DJing
.
Chad: What artist or organization have reached out to you in support?
 .
Moiez: Many Indie artists such as myself. MilkNCookies who have a strong grasp of the local scene in Chicago, The2Friends, and a few Indie Labels. Some major artist support include 3lau who I am in contact with and in the process of launching a song with, and I have been in touch with artists who I have made bootlegs and remixes for such as Electric Joy Ride, Krewella who have supported my remix of Apollo and had previously asked to remix their hit song Alive (a remix wasn’t released due to time constraints). But those are a few I can recall.
.
Also have been in touch with Promotional companies in cities like Seattle, Chicago, Miami, and New York, working on a few gigs and lining up some shows

.
 Chad: So I think that about wraps it up, any final words you wanna say to your fans?
.
Moiez: To all my fans, each and every day I remember the true reasons for why I make music and why I choose to produce Electronic Dance Music. That is because of there is so much love, support and gratitude that I get to experience for every new song, remix and/or mix that I release. Thank you for all of your support and feedback. I enjoy making music so much and its even more enjoyable when I have fans who take the time to tell me how they feel about the music I make and those who keep showing support and spreading the word.
.
Also, thank you Chad on behalf of Brainless Beats for this interview! I will be working my ass off this summer so keep a lookout on the facebook page, I hope to release a lot of new music.

Hardwell & Dyro feat. Bright Lights – Never Say Goodbye

Posted by chaddowns on

Hardwell hands it to you every time he drops a track. Last week was Hardwell’s remix of Krewella’s ‘Alive‘ and today he drops ‘Never Say Goodbye’; a track that will fundamentally change your standard of “good sound” or “good effects.” The silk smooth yet hard hitting melody backed by sick vocals makes this track worth the purchase.
