“Kaskade’s signature sound is as unmistakable as it is
beautiful; a combination of dewy female vocals,tough electronic underpinnings,
and memorable melodies.”— Billboard.The New York Times may have called him the
“new face of electronic dance music” in a recent profile, but Ryan Raddon,
known as Kaskade, has been in the trenches of the EDM scene as an original
recording artist and in-demand DJ for more than a decade. He has released seven
studio albums, including his latest, Fire & Ice, scored nine Top 10 hits on
Billboard’s Hot Dance Airplay Chart, created chart-topping remixes for everyone
from Lady Gaga to Beyoncé, appeared at all the major summer festivals, and has
performed between 150 and 200 headlining shows a year for the last 10 years,
building a name for himself as an innovator of the EDM scene as we know it
today, which has opened doors for the likes of Deadmau5, Tiesto, Skrillex and
more. In doing so, he has helped to lay the groundwork for a titanic musical
and cultural shift: a post-rock EDM revolution that has captured the
imagination of a new generation of music lovers across North America. Kaskade
has been named America’s No. 1 DJ by DJ Times and Pioneer DJ. In 2012, he will
appear at this year’s Coachella and will hit the road in June for his biggest
headlining tour ever — 70-plus North American shows in just over three months.
His own live show being a jaw-dropping spectacle that finds him performing in
front of a massive LED screen that blares images synched with the music while
strobe lights scan the crowd. Kaskade’s belief in the transformative power of
dance music to uplift thousands of people at once has had a significant effect
on the U.S. scene. His ground-breaking double residency in Las Vegas at the
Encore Beach Club (which had not even been built when he signed on) and Marquee
has elevated the city’s status as a premiere club-going destination on par with
London, Berlin, and Ibiza, is another testament to his influence.Listen song here:YouTube
Since ruling the airwaves last year with his self-titled
debut—which sold 850,000 copies worldwide, spawned three Top Ten hits, and
landed him the 2011 BMI "Songwriter of the Year" award—multi-talented
artist Jason Derulo has not slowed down. The 21-year-old chart-topper is set to
release his eagerly awaited sophomore effort, Future History, on Beluga
Heights/Warner Bros. Records on September 27th.... “It’s where I see myself
going in the future,” says Derulo of the meaning behind the album title. “These
are the songs I’m going to be singing for the rest of my life, and I’d like my
music to live on after I’m no longer around.” Future History finds Derulo
moving seamlessly from ultra-sexy urban dance tracks to poppy love songs, once
again offering up a unique genre-blurring blend of varied sounds deeply rooted
in pop. This time, production is handled by The Fliptones, including the first
single and instant summer anthem “Don’t Wanna Go Home,” as well as hitmakers
J.R. Rotem, Frank E, The Dream, and Eman. “On this album I just wanted to be
me,” explains Derulo, who wrote all of the songs on Future History either by
himself or in collaboration with top names like Kara Dioguardi, The Dream, and
Claude Kelly. The new batch of songs reflects a newfound maturity in Derulo’s
personality as well as the music that he’s eager to share with his fans. “I was
19 before and now I’m 21 and I’ve really kind of found myself,” he says. “So
you can hear a whole new person, a new being almost.”Listen song here:YouTube

Mirami - fiery, energetic, positive girl-band, created to
bring entertaining experiences to their admirers. The name of the band is not
meaningless. Words "Mira mi" mean "look at mine..." in
Spanish, and it is clear that the girls have something to show not only to
Ukraine, but to the whole world. The band is combining physical beauty, as well
as great vocal abilities of the singers. This is one of the few occurrences in
the show business, where there is something to listen to, and not just to look
at. The musical project Mirami was founded in 2010 by producers Andriy Bakun
(aka Andrew Bakun), Oleksandr Duda (aka Alex Hitch), Oleh Kovalskyy (aka Olav
Hike), and Petro Huzar (aka Peter Cliff). Andriy Bakun, a well-known composer
and arranger in the west of Ukraine, became the leader of the producers team.
His knowledge, with the help of his colleagues, made it possible to create a
project that has been extremely anticipated by thousands of dance music fans.
It was an explosion in the "dance music industry" not only in
Ukraine, but also in other countries around the world. Professional demeanour
of Mirami in music and on stage, is immediately noticed by selective, in terms
of musical taste, European listeners. There it was... "Sexualna" was
lighting up dance floors of Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Lithuania,
Germany, Estonia, Latvia, as well as Russia and Belarus."Sexualna"
begins to get air time at the radio stations that are unreachable for beginner
bands. These stations are: Free Radio (Czech Republic), Radio ESKA (Poland),
Radio RMF MaXXX (Poland), Open FM (Poland) etc. TV stations: Bridge TV
(Russia), RuSong TV (Russia), ESKA TV (Poland), Viva (Poland), MTV (Poland),

Myles MacInnes, born 1978 on the Isle of Skye, Scotland, has
a trajectory that takes in a childhood on the Isle of Skye, low life in London
and Paris and academia in Oxford and Los Angeles. In 2001, he returned to
Scotland with one purpose – to submerge himself in music. The startling debut
album, Destroy Rock & Roll demonstrates that MacInnes is equally happy
warming the soul as he is rocking the dancefloor. “I’m just having fun in the
studio,” he begins. “It’s got to have impact, otherwise I just don’t see the
point”. Listening to his debut album, ‘Destroy Rock & Roll’ it’s obvious
that impact isn’t his only weapon. The high-octane guitar chords, heavy-duty
beats and raucous vocals of Destroy Rock & Roll, Muscle Car and Drop The
Pressure are backed by the sun-kissed chords and Bay Area beats of tracks like Sunworshipper
and Need You Tonight. While In My Arms harks back to his soft rock radio days. Growing
up on Skye, one of the furthest flung corners of Europe, MacInnes couldn’t be
too choosy about his sources of music. “Basically we had Atlantic 252,” he
explains. “It was this kind-of soft rock station on long-wave. We all believed
it to be transmitted from a boat floating out in the mid-Atlantic.” Music
continued to be part of his life when he left the island to go to Oxford
University.Listen song here:YouTube
