Derek — Fri, 17 May 2013 19:42:05 +0000

The Southside’s best kept secret, Sofa King Evil rocks dance floors with a barrage of breaks, bass, quakes and booty shakes.

Brian Dawe | Club Lights. Sleepless Nights. Missed Flights

Derek — Tue, 16 Apr 2013 14:45:07 +0000

After thirteen years of hard work and dedication behind the tables, Brian Dawe has established himself as one of the most noteworthy names in the nightclub DJ circuit. He has been very active as a DJ, radio host, television personality, and remix producer playing well over a thousand events – and still counting. He has played numerous events for Fortune 500 companies, celebrity clients, and has spun vinyl alongside and opened for countless popular acts. Rihanna, Ke$ha, Avicii, Steve Aoki, Alesso, Travie McCoy, Gabe Saporta of Cobra Starship, Dev, Busta Rhymes, Trick Daddy, DJ Khaled and 2 Live Crew are just a small sampling of artists he has rocked the stage with.

Dawe has rocked some of the biggest venues in the country including House of Blues Orlando, Ford Amphitheater Tampa, Hilton Anatole Dallas, W Hotel Los Angeles, Sofitel Los Angeles, and Mekka Miami. He was the runner-up in the South Eastern RedBull Thr3style DJ battle (narrowly beaten out by the nationwide contest winner) and a three-time Ultra Music Festival performer. Brian’s club circuit success gained him corporate clients including Sprint, Hyundai, Hewlett Packard, L’Oréal Paris, and eBay Motors. Not something many DJs can boast, Dawe performed at a private event for Prince Moulay Rachid of Morocco.

Production is another skill that sets Dawe apart. He is a remix producer for the largest DJ remix website in the world, CrooklynClan.net, where he has sold hundreds of tracks that are being played in nightclubs all across the world on a nightly basis.

In 2009, Brian was diagnosed with cancer. Not content to give up without a fight, Brian rallied behind the support of his friends, family, and music community – and pushed through a remission. Fast forward to early 2013, Brian just finished an appearance on VH1’s hit series Master of the Mix – a reality-themed DJ talent competition; an amazing accomplishment considering his struggle and recovery four years prior. Now, he hopes he can share his message of living life, having hope, and pursuing your dreams to everyone.

His energetic antics, infectious positive attitude, exclusive remixes, and turntable skills have become some of the most sought after sights and sounds from coast to coast. As of the spring of 2013, Dawe is as healthy as ever. His focus continues to be on playing music, inspiring others, and living life to the fullest. Dawe currently is touring across the United States playing arenas, nightclubs and everything in between.

“You have to live your life to the fullest, because only you can take charge of your success. Plan your work, then work your plan.” – Brian Dawe

“Club Lights. Sleepless Nights. Missed Flights” features music from all genres and tracks from artists such as A$AP Rocky, Bingo Players, TJR, Calvin Harris, Juicy J, Flux Pavilion and Kendrick Lamar.

With a busy February and March crammed with bookings, residencies, auditions, castings, filming and of course – the requisite traveling between all of the above – Brian worked tirelessly whenever he had a spare moment.

TJR | Electro Mix

Derek — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 20:37:20 +0000

“I’m not a glitch in the matrix, but when people see me they should know I’m not a guy who’s a follower and I’m not afraid to be different. When I moved out to L.A. from the East Coast to pursue my music, I didn’t chase what other people were doing; I did my own thing. I started making bootlegs and sampling everything and I stopped caring about what people thought about my music. I just came up with my own brand of quirky, bouncy house that blurred the lines between house, techno and electro. Then people like Fatboy Slim and Chuckie started playing my records like ‘Booty Move’ and my remixes of Tupac’s ‘California Love’ and Surecut Kids’ ‘Drunk In This’, and things snowballed from there. Whenever people ask me about my style, I just tell people I’m a product of the 90s because we grew up on all this different shit being thrown at us. I’d be listening to the Beastie Boys, The Doors, Metallica, Pearl Jam, Fiona Apple, Bob Marley. I was all over the place, but it didn’t matter back then. The music I was into was honest; it had substance. That’s the most important thing to me, and that’s what I try to create with my music. A lot of my production is very diverse, at one end I have people like Claude Vonstroke and Umek supporting me, and at the other end I have people like Knife Party. ‘Funky Vodka’ is probably the track I’m most proud of; it was pretty cool to see an old school sample-based house tune make it to the overall No.1 spot on Beatport. Producing fulfills my creative side, but DJing is my release. I’m almost snapping crossfaders off mixers because I’m so amped up; I just want to get up there and destroy everything. I want people to come away from my sets thinking that TJR brought something that we’re not used to seeing anymore. Too many DJs and performers nowadays just stand up there and stare into their laptops like a deer in headlights. For me, there still needs to be a stage performance; you still need showmanship. I grew up listening to mixtapes from Chicago house DJs like Badboy Bill and Terry Mullan, these guys brought hip hop turntable techniques to house music and made it acceptable. I do a lot of scratching, I throw a lot of samples in and work the faders. I want people to see there’s actually something going on behind the decks. For me, that always creates the best vibe and the most energy. I want people to let loose. I want them to let out their inner freak. Be as weird as you want—I’m going to be weirder than anyone up on stage.” – TJR

DJ VICE | INCEPTION

Derek — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 20:38:08 +0000

Poised at his laptop, where he’s masterminding his newest mix, Vice® flashes a smile and says, “I love what I do. There’s no part of me that wakes up and is like, ‘Dang. I have to go to work.’ To still have that newness driving me is a good thing.”

While he’s still a young man, Vice® is also an industry veteran approaching his 20-year mark. The LA native discovered his passion for spinning records at the age of 12, when he bought his first turntables. Like most musically precocious kids, he came into that world by hearing – and falling in love with – what his older brother and older sister were playing. “I’d borrow from my sister’s collection of Air Supply, Blondie, Depeche Mode and Madonna records. My brother would have the Cure and Morrissey and I would buy hip-hop and house records.”

Vice® likes to mix these types of artists along with newer music into his sets, which is unusual for the always-current world of club DJ-ing. “I’ve always been a multi-genre DJ,” he says. “I’ve always been a music lover. A lot of DJ’s stick to one format. I’ve never been that DJ. Ever since I’ve started I’ve always played all types of music. It stems from being a house party DJ, a wedding DJ, a high school dance DJ, a radio DJ. I’ve always done so many kinds of things as a DJ that it’s brought me to where I’m at right now. My set has something for anybody and everybody.”

Vice®’s first big break came in 1998, when he started playing hip-hop records on LA’s Power 106 for a listenership of 1.6 million. “It really tightened up my skills. It was always live, with vinyl, and there was no going back and fixing things.”

In 2002, Vice® saw new opportunities emerging in Las Vegas at the huge clubs that were starting to open and left his radio job. He began with a residency at Body English in the Hard Rock Hotel and later moved to the mega-club Tao, where he still has a residency. The move to Vegas has been a huge game-changer for him, exposing him to an international audience. DJ Vice has now played all over the world, including Shanghai, London, Singapore, Hong Kong, Norway, Germany and Istanbul.

Vegas has also embraced Vice®’s other venture: the wildly popular CRSVR, a boutique that sells top of the line sneakers. Vice® opened the first store in Santa Barbara three years ago and just this year opened CRSVR at the Cosmopolitan on the Strip. It’s a Nike tier zero store, which means that it sells the very first top of the line Nikes the minute they’re available. Vice® also gave CRSVR his own twist by setting up a DJ booth in the store.

On the horizon, Vice® is ready to start producing original music and is in the process of working with songwriters. Over the years, he’s broadened his knowledge of production by being in the studio with Christina Aguilera, Timbaland, Mariah Carey, Pharrell and Lady Gaga among others. “They’d turn and ask my opinion. ‘Would this work in a club?’ And I’d be honest with them.”

Despite this shift toward producing, Vice® has no intention of transitioning out of performing at clubs. His goal is to play his own tracks at his events where he can experience the immediacy of the crowd’s response, because that’s what he thrives on. “The biggest compliment I get is when people come up to me and say ‘I was having the worst day but now I feel so happy. I don’t even dance and you had me dancing.’”

Sgt Slick | SKAM SLAM

Derek — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 20:53:38 +0000

The past 2 years have seen Melbourne’s Sgt Slick turn his hand to multiple genres within the HOUSE realm, resulting in some of his finest production form to date… from the deeper grooves of “Sax Addict” (top 5 ARIA Club Chart, heavy DJ support from Roger Sanchez, Stonebridge, Cristian Marchi), to the big room electro boom of “Automatic Machine” (38 weeks in the ARIA Club Chart, including 5 weeks at # 1, and Beatport top 5) and on the Progressive tip, one of the biggest club tunes of 2009 “Right In The Night” (6 months in the ARIA Club Chart, 11 weeks at # 2, Beatport Progressive top 5, and rinsed by the likes of Kaskade, Robbie Rivera, Laidback Luke and Armin Van Buuren).

In 2010/11 he has already hit the mark with “Behind The Sun” (licensed to Italy’s coolest house label “Molto”) and has stormed ARIA and Beatport top 5’s with “Back On Black” and “Everyday”(support from Tiesto, Swedish House Mafia, Eric Morillo and David Guetta). His latest release “Like This” immediately tore up the Beatport chart, reaching number 2 and only being held off top spot by the world’s biggest electronic act, Deadmau5. His collaboration with world beating Dutch DJ “Chuckie” on “The Bass Kicks Like This” is next release on the schedule, and it has already hit the Beatport Top 10 with a sneaky pre release on the Dirty Dutch Digital Vol. 3 compilation.

In the clubs he has also made his mark on the decks, with a string of long term residencies in Melbourne and across the country. Regular slots at some of the nation’s biggest clubs and festivals such as Family, HQ, Bedroom, Discovery, Planet, Soho, Neverland, Summadayze and Future Music Festival have seen him supporting the likes of Roger Sanchez, Joachim Garraud, Carl Cox and Fatboy Slim. He has also been the DJ of choice for many major event after parties such as The Australian Open, Australian Grand Prix, Melbourne Fashion Week, and numerous motion picture releases, and is currently touring his Vicious “iCuts” Mix CD release around the nation.

With a 10 year relationship with Australia’s leading club label “Vicious” under the Sgt Slick moniker, he has a slew of releases to his name, including one of Australia’s finest house music moments in “White Treble Black Bass”. Topping club charts in Australia and all over Europe / UK, the track eventually netted Andy an ARIA award for Best Dance Release in ’98. Along with his output as “Sgt Slick”, he has achieved chart and club success at home and abroad with collaborations under the names “Blackout” (Gotta Have Hope), “Firefox”, (Sex Shooter) “Smash ‘n’ Grab” (She Don’t Like That) and “Andy J” (Tilt My Hat), and has “Slicked up” remixes for artists such as Stonebridge, Avicii, DONS, Jess Mauboy and Sarah McLeod. He co hosted and mixed the “Loaded” radio show on the Austereo Network for 5 years, has co hosted Nova’s “NovaNation”, and appeared on Triple J’s “Mixup” 3 times.

SUPER MASH BROS | PURE FIX

Derek — Wed, 27 Mar 2013 17:55:42 +0000

In 2008, two Los Angeles high schoolers decided to throw a dance party for their friends. It’s a common enough tale, only these weren’t ordinary high schoolers. These were hyper-talented digital musicians Dick Fink and Nick Fenmore, and so Super Mash Bros were born. Seamlessly weaving together top-charting jams, nostalgia-rich cuts from six different decades, and songs you say you hate but secretly know all the words to, Super Mash Bros will make you scream for joy, dance your ass off, and most of all party. Their debut album “Fuck Bitches. Get Euros”, quickly became a favorite on college campuses nationwide. Despite being full-time college students living in different states, Fink and Fenmore began touring the country, bringing their unique brand of party jams to the fun loving masses all across America.

Super Mash Bros established themselves as consistent and prolific producers with their follow up albums “All About the Scrillions” and “Mile(y) High Club”. These party paratroopers will touch down in a city with nothing but a couple of laptops and music scientifically proven to make booties bounce, leaving a sea of sweaty, satisfied partiers in their wake. In late 2009 the duo teamed with Ethan Dawes, who added stunning visuals to an already bananas live show. Ethan has now moved on to his own filmmaking, but the original duo Fink and Fenmore has kept the party going strong. Things moved quickly with these guys and over the last three years Super Mash Bros moved from valley backyards, to major college campuses, and let’s not forget Lollapalooza, Ultra Music Festival, Electric Zoo and Summer Set Festival. Their latest release, the “Pure Fix Mix”, shows that Super Mash Bros have no intention of slowing down, which brings music to the ears of partiers everywhere.
