Macklemore holds a singular place in both the Pacific Northwest and now across the country as he
emerges as a premier national hip-hop artist with numerous career highlights to
his name. A genuine lyricist and a captivating performer, Macklemore, with his DJ/production
partner Ryan Lewis, have garnered critical acclaim, a devoted fan base, and a
steadily growing anticipation for their upcoming work.Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’ music is distinct for
channeling cultural moments and refreshingly self-aware testimony through
candid lyricism and expertly crafted composition. Their work has impressed and
enthused a multitude of listeners, nowhere more evident than in the populist
barometer of the internet, where some of Macklemore’s songs, videos and even
fan-uploaded media have over one million listens and views. The recent single
“Wings” is an anthemic meditation on being of the Air Jordan generation with a
lucid perspective on an otherwise trodden motif. “Otherside” offers a darkly
searing portrait of his own story of addiction and the hype of substance within
hip-hop culture. Crowd-favorite songs like “And We Danced” and “Irish
Celebration” demonstrate Macklemore’s ability to get raucous with disarming
candor and relentlessly energetic showmanship.On their first national
headlining tour in the spring of 2011, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis packed houses
and sold out a majority of their shows, including those in New York City,
Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and a three-night run at Seattle’s Showbox
at the Market, where over 3,500 tickets sold out in less than 48 hours.Listen song here:YouTube
Just when you think you know Riva Starr...He’ll probably
confuse you with yet another side to his musical personality.Don’t call him
fickle, though.Try bored.Try excitable.Try unpredictable...And then some!As
Philippe Stark once famously said “I do not try to please everybody, I make
what I can, how I can, when I can.I try to deserve to exist by doing my job
well. I have this sickness called creativity and I
exploit this sickness to offer new meaning in things to my friends. That’s it,
very simple” Riva humbly subscribes…Driven from his Italian motherland by a
compelling desire to reinvent, innovate and progress, Riva has made London his
home since 2008: A breath of freedom and fresh beats that allowed to him to
wear his inspirations proudly beyond the sleeve and deep, deep, deep into the
groove.A Neapolitan cultural exile with a degree in Chinese literature; a
passionate family guy who still manages to juggle a DJ schedule of over 200
international gigs a year, a label and production duties. How can you pigeonhole
a man who never sits still?From the dolce vita to Dalston, the Big Smoke’s
open eared community and exciting cauldron of influences finally allowed him to
truly make the records he wanted to make. In the past he’d produced house,
techno, breakbeat, electro, pop, folk and everything in between. Here was the
city where he could bring them together.As the very name of his own label
Snatch suggests, Riva’s unpredictable “Magic Hat” selection keeps both him and
us listeners on our toes. It’s kept him relevant, but more importantly, it’s
kept him alive and kicking…To Riva, though, he’s just doing his job, hoping to
pick up new friends along the way.It’s been like this from the very first
releases. Having taken his previous guises as far as he could, his infamous
debuts on Made To Play and DirtyBird were the result of anonymous MySpace demo
entries. Refusing to rely on any kudos he’d developed before, Riva took a brave
dive into a whole new world of beats and let the music speak for itself.Since
then he’s strutted with acts as varied as Noze and Balkan Beat Box, remixed
Dennis Ferrer, Usher, Gossip and Estelle (to name a few) while future fix-ups
include Fatboy Slim and Beardyman.Listen song here:YouTube

Like Mike all dropped ‘Tsunami’ during their sets and video from the latter is
posted below for your viewing pleasure. The producers behind Tsunami? None
other than a collaboration between DVBBS & Borgeous.’Tsunami’ is an original
mix that is the perfect peak song to thrown down at the height of a live
performance – one of the many reasons it’s already garnered support from some
of the biggest names in electronic music. You can stream it in full below all
the way up until it’s official release date on August 19th.Listen song here:YouTube

The East Coast is a low-relief, passive margin coast.It has been shaped by
the Pleistocene glaciation as far south as New York, with offshore islands Nantucket,
Block Island, Fishers Island, Long Island and Staten Island the result of terminal
moraines.Longshore drift currents have formed an intermittent series of barrier
beaches that enclose sounds that stretch from Long Island Sound southward along
the unglaciated coast.The coastal plain broadens southwards, separated from the
Piedmont districts by the Atlantic Seaboard fall line of the East Coast rivers,
often marking the head of navigation, prominent sites of cities.The seaboard is
susceptible to hurricanes in the Atlantic hurricane season, officially running
from June 1 to November 30, although hurricanes can occur before or after these
dates.Listen song here:YouTube
A ballad is a often a narrative set to music. Ballads
derive from the medieval French chanson balladee or ballade,
which were originally "dancing songs".Ballads were originally
composed to accompany dances, and so were composed in couplets with refrains in
alternate lines. These refrains would have been sung by the dancers in time
with the dance.In all traditions most ballads are narrative in nature, with a
self-contained story, often concise and rely on imagery, rather than
description, which can be tragic, historical, romantic or comic.Themes
concerning rural laborers and their sexuality are common.Most northern and west
European ballads are written in ballad stanzas or quatrains (four-line stanzas)
of alternating lines of iambic (an unstressed followed by a stressed syllable) tetrameter
(eight syllables) and iambic trimeter (six syllables), known as ballad meter.
Usually, only the second and fourth line of a quatrain are rhymed (in the
scheme a, b, c, b), which has been taken to suggest that, originally, ballads
consisted of couplets (two lines) of rhymed verse, each of 14 syllables.Listen song here:YouTube
