Of all the exciting new house sounds coming out of the
East these days, Swanky Tunes ranks among the most noteworthy. The group formed
in 1998, experimenting with different electronic styles in pursuit of their own
sound. At first, there were techno sounds mixed with vintage synthesizers. Then
the group moved into a distinctly big-beat influenced sound. These days, hints of
the techno, electro-80's, and the contemporary progressive house movements are
all finding their way into the mix. Swanky Tunes were named ‘Best Musical
Group’ in 2006 and 2007 at the Russian Dance Music Awards and they are
currently ranked #14 among the Top 100 DJs of Russia. Internationally, their
tracks and remixes have been issued on Mixmash, Spinnin' Records, Refune, Size
Records and Cr2 Records. Swanky Tunes last releases have been heavily supported
by: Tiesto, David Guetta, Sandern Van Doorn, Swedish House Mafia (Axwell, Steve
Angello, Sebastian Ingrosso), Laidback Luke and Dirty South.Based on this past
success, rumors abound that Swanky Tunes may soon emerge on the top of the
dance club charts worldwide.Listen song here:YouTube
In a story about “Mr. Know It All” — the first single off
Kelly Clarkson’s new album Stronger — Entertainment Weekly calls the
multi-platinum singer and songwriter “the samurai of shooting guys down.”
Indeed Clarkson has earned herself millions of devoted fans thanks to her
feisty, straight-talking lyrics. Clarkson’s hits such as “Miss Independent,”
“Since U Been Gone,” “Walk Away,” “Never Again,” and now “Mr. Know It All,” are
bold empowerment anthems, which she sells to the fullest with her soulful, powerhouse
voice and down-to-earth relatability. The vibrant, musically diverse Stronger
(which Clarkson says was influenced by Tina Turner, Prince, Sheryl Crow, and
Radiohead) will thrill those who love Clarkson for her resilience. The album is
filled with candid, emotionally raw tunes like “The War Is Over,” “Darkside,”
and “Honestly,” as well as “You Love Me” (in which Clarkson witheringly tells
an ex “you’re not good enough”), “Einstein” (the cad in question is dismissed
with “Here’s your keys, your bags, your clothes, and now get out of my place”),
and the title track, which finds Clarkson putting a fresh spin on Nietzsche’s
adage that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger and declaring “it doesn’t
mean I’m over ’cause you’re gone.” “The whole album is very much about strength
and empowerment, so ‘Stronger’ felt like the perfect title,” Clarkson says.
“Plus that song is just a gold mine — it's a little bit pop, a little bit
pop-rock, a little bit urban, a little bit dance, and it ties everything in.
And everybody loves that message. ‘What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.’
It's a perfect representation of my life.” Clarkson’s life has had its share of
challenges. Her parents divorced when she was six and her mother struggled
financially to raise Kelly and her older siblings. “My mom had to do everything
on her own,” Clarkson says. “She put herself through school. It was really
hard. I think watching that molded me into this person who wants to relay a
message to women everywhere that they’re capable of doing whatever they set
their mind to. It made an impact on me even though I didn’t know it at the
time. Now I see it while I’m making these songs that I hope will inspire
people.”Listen song here:YouTube
Chicago EDM group Krewella has been around for the better
part of half a decade, which means they have plenty of friends in the business.
That comes in handy, it turns out, when putting together a remix EP like
"Play Harder" (out Dec. 10). "A lot of the remixers are friends
that we know personally and reached out to," the group composed of Jahan
Yousaf, Yasmine Yousaf and Kris "Rain Man" Trindl said in an email to
The Huffington Post. "We are blessed to know so many talented producers."KillaGraham,
Chuckie and Dirtyphonics are among the names on the release, which focuses on
remixes of "Alive" and "Killin' It" but also includes a
free new song, "Come & Get It" (download the track on Krewella's
Facebook page). The remixes run the gamut, from a well-tailored banger of a
rework by EDM pop act Cash Cash and New York DJ and producer Kalkutta to a
vocal mix of "Killin' It" that features Dutch house producer
Chuckie.Calling in friends and confidants is a smart move for Krewella, who
embrace a certain DIY approach to music -- and the consumption of it.
"We're going to keep putting our music out for free, but if we sell
certain records, we encourage our fans to grab our music in any way
possible," the group wrote before adding, "*cough cough zippyshare.*"
(Zippyshare is a file sharing website that's especially popular among EDM
fans.)Like Skrillex, who toured the country as the frontman of emo band From
First to Last, and Zedd, a classically trained pianist, Krewella is another
thorn in the side of critics who claim EDM is dominated by one-dimensional
DJ's. And perhaps that makes their success -- the band's first EP, "Play
Hard," topped Beatport, dance music's biggest retailer -- even sweeter.
"We came up more from the alternative rock and metal scenes in
Chicago," the group told HuffPost. "There's no doubt that our city
has birthed some of the most influential dance music though, and we're proud to
represent such an amazing place. Much respect to the legends that have come out
of Chicago."Listen song here:YouTube
Cookis - called so since childhood. Under this name hides a
music producer and remixer of the small village of Lubartów, near Lublin.
Became interested in music from an early age. Then it was listened to and
collecting music of other artists. Very curious Cookis, began searching for
mechanisms to create music. It began filming on mixowaniu and sets in programs
such as VDJ, etc. Quickly, realizing that you can not build on their work from
the beginning (from the ground), put down, and looked away. The real combine to
make music was a grandpa FL Studio. The first time it opened (2005) put down
and went to court to deal with something else. Hungry and curious - "how
it works, what it is to what?" immediately returned. When he was hooked,
he was able to sit from morning to evening, from evening to morning.
Beginnings, like every manufacturer knows, were difficult. Cookis'a always
attracted to fat, pierdzące bass'y. He then became a hero Benny Benassi, which
surely everyone knows. Trying to follow in his footsteps, he encountered many
other western manufacturers "doing greasy, meaty chunks." At the
beginning of the success was the 2008 remix of "Call It Love", after
which Cookis was motivated to continue working for their równieśników. Cookis
want the online world. In May 2009, he helped him in this made his remix of
"Pretty Green Eyes", which came up with more than one compilation
website. Then in June of this year, made a remix of "I want you" to
the disco-team field that was called "Sunrise". This band no longer
exists, and the original "I want you" I think no one can hear ...
Prime remix was completed only eight months later. At the end of the summer
2009 was another remix of "Ya Budu S Toboy", which is well
implemented in Russia and also went on compilations such as Set the Bratwa Djs.
In February 2010. Cookis, he released his first single, "All That
mattered." Holidays 2010 - the second single website - "This Must Be
A Dream". Most productions sold appoint: Extazy - Tell me, tell me what turns
you on (DJ Remix Cookis) Effect - Adam and Eve (DJ Cookis New Remix) feat
VovaZiL'vova Mirami - Sexual (DJ Cookis Bootleg Remix) "Today I deal with
