Phenomenon Of Dubstep A History Lesson
Dubstep – LOVE THE WOBBLE !!! To most people, the genre dubstep is a fairly new concept now hitting the mainstream, but people who’ve been dancing or mixing underground garage and grime know its been lurking in the shadows for over a decade. This hybrid phenomenon grew as the garage and grime genres merged, originating in clubs and dubstep record shops in and around Croydon, South London. Ammunition Productions are to…
Review of III by Family Force 5
III’s album cover I stumbled upon Family Force 5 when I got lost at Warped Tour in 2007, and it was one of the best mistakes I’ve ever made. Made up of three brothers and two close friends, they “formed” in 1993 but have been releasing beats since 2004. III (pronounced “The Third” or just “Three”) is their fifth studio album, and their first releasing brand new music since 2008’s Dance…
Trouble – Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs
Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs (TEED) is a name created by the cleverly imaginative Orlando Higginbottom. Even his name oozes originality and creativity. You may have heard his song “Garden” which is featured on this album, backing the recent Nokia Lumia advert. He is definitely a new artist that wades in the mainstream and strides in the underground. Listening to this album for the first time after only hearing his song “Garden” made me realise his…
The Trend and Dangers of Pop and Rock Covers in Jazz
Here’s something that you don’t see often anymore: an audience cheering at a jazz spot when the musicians on stage introduce the first few notes of one of their original tunes. Perhaps it’s simply because few are playing the album releases on repeat in their home or car as they would with a number of rock or pop artists. Maybe it’s because that there just isn’t anything to “sing along to.” Yes, it’s a pain…

10 Places to Find Inspiration for Songwriting
Songwriting can be a somewhat tricky venture. You’ll often feel the need to come up with something catchy, as well as words that fit well within the rhythm created by the music. But the hardest part of all might be coming up with a subject to write about in the first place. One thing to focus on that can assist you in the songwriting process is the fact that music is a reflection of human…
The Jersey Bore
I guess GTL must have gotten really boring and barely any girls were DTF. What other reason would Jersey Shore juice head Ronnie Ortiz-Magro take a crack at the rap game with “How The F%#K We Gettin’ Home?” Definitely not for publicity…no…reality stars never do stuff like that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Anm6166lQNQ The production courtesy of The Extraordinary Gentlemen is not terrible, maybe tolerable at absolute best. The entire song, on the other hand, sounds like something off…
LimeWire owes RIAA $72 Trillion. So says the RIAA.
The RIAA, in keeping with its quest to be as far from reality as possible, has come the conclusion that the (former) P2P service LimeWire owes it $72 trillion. Yes, that’s with a ‘T’. Seventy-Two. Trillion. Dollars. That’s almost five times the U.S. debt. Or as NME put it, “[m]usic industry group says it’s owed more than the entire world’s GDP in damages.” As you might imagine, the RIAA “likely has no hope” of actually…
