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

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

of the biggest names in electronic music. You can stream it in full below all

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

Singer-songwriter Aloe Blacc’s affecting voice, perceptive lyrics, and
dapper sartorial flair are already familiar to music lovers in Europe. In 2010, his international Top 10,
platinum-selling single “I Need A Dollar” surged across the continent, ringing out
from the streets of Paris to the soul clubs of London, combining social
consciousness with irresistible pop. Throughout 2011, Blacc and his touring
band, The Grand Scheme, hit the road in support of Blacc’s second solo album
and international breakthrough Good Things; turning in memorable sets
at iconic festivals like Montreux Jazz in Switzerland
and Glastonbury in the UK. Blacc
performed “I Need A Dollar” on the French TV programs Taratata and Le
Grand Journal, as well as the influential British music show Later…with
Jools Holland; spurring the track to become the de facto anthem to the
post-Great Recession recovery. “Everyone has a relationship with money and can
understand the experience of needing a dollar,” Blacc says of the song’s
appeal. “I'm really interested in creating music that can influence positive
social change,” he adds.Years ago, there were those who made this look easy:
Marvin Gaye, Gil Scott-Heron, Sly Stone, Bob Marley, and Stevie Wonder, to name
a few, and their influence is readily apparent on the retro soul stylings of Good
Things. So is the hip hop that Blacc took to almost as soon as he could
walk. “I was a B-boy at age four,” he says. “The neighborhood crew nicknamed me
‘Little Rock.’
Eventually I started experimenting with rhyme, and by age nine I was writing my
own rap lyrics on a small pocket note pad.” Licensed around the world, Good
Thingswas certified gold in the UK,
France, Germany, and Australia, among other
countries. Two additional singles, “Loving You Is Killing Me” and “Green
Lights,” became European hits as well, leading to interest from Simon Fuller’s
XIX Entertainment, with whom Blacc signed a management deal. Last year, he
landed a recording contract with Interscope Records.Listen song here:YouTube
The Koala is a small marsupial
(pouched mammal) that lives in Australia.
Koalas are arboreal, they spend most of their time in eucalyptus (gum) trees.
These nocturnal (most active at night)
animals spend 18 to 20 hours each day resting and sleeping; they spend much of
the night eating. They are aggressive animals who live in woodlands.Koalas are
not bears; their closest relative is the wombat.The genus and species of the
koala is Phascolarctos cinereus.The koala is up to 2-3 feet (0.6-0.9 m)
long, weighing 10-30 pounds (4.5-13.5 kg). The soft, woolly fur is light-gray
to brown, and it has patches of white on the chest, neck. and ears. This fur
protects them from cold weather and rain. Koalas have rough pads on their feet
and hands which are used for gripping the trees they live in. The koala's brain
is very small. Like other young marsupials, baby koalas (called joeys) live in
their mother's backwards-facing pouch for months. The koala is one of the few
animals that has fingerprints (other animals with fingerprints include many primates
and fishers).These herbivores (plant-eaters) eat mostly eucalyptus (gum
tree), chewing these tough leaves using their powerful jaws. They store
unchewed food in cheek pouches. Koalas have a keen sense of smell which they
use to make sure the type of gum leaves are edible and not poisonous.Listen song here:YouTube
Thom Jongkind (22) and Idir Makhlaf (21), better known as
producer/deejay duo Blasterjaxx in the music industry, are anything but the
same. While one is often prominent and empowering, the other prefers staying
quietly in the background - a fairly high contrast in character. However, there
is one significant reason for the phenomenal connection between these two
personalities: their passion and love of music.Mid
2010, Thom Jongkind - then operating by the name of Scalix - decided to set up
a DJ duo named Blasterjaxx together with another producer at the time. Thom
quickly noticed that huge steps were taken in the field of productions and that
the range towards their audience was constantly increasing. Nevertheless, the
personal chemistry between both producers started decreasing. Thus, it was Thom
who focused more and more on music, while the other producer started having
other priorities. Shortly after, they mutually agreed on ending their
collaboration as a duo and decided that Thom would continue with the Blasterjaxx
label.Because Thom believed that Blasterjaxx would only be complete as a duo,
he started looking for possibilities of a new, and this time around, perfect
collaboration. In the meantime, Thom had been charmed by Idir Makhlaf for a
while, who at the time was operating by the name of Macosta. Only after a few
collaborations it was already clear how well they hit off; a new Blasterjaxx
duo was born with - what subsequently appeared - an unparalleled amount of
talent and potential. Together they plan on taking over the world with their
unique sound, which is best described as a crossover between electro-house, big
room and latin.Listen song here:YouTube

Having found acclaimed European success with recent hits
'Destination Calabria' and 'Watch Out', Alex has rapidly built up a reputation
as 'One of the most prolific producers in Italy', or at least those are the
words of BBC Radio 1's Pete Tong.With a unique sound of fashionably cool house music, Alex's touring schedule
has become as illustrious as his studio projects
from rubbing shoulders with Chelsea's golden emperor Roman Abramovich in
Moscow, to being picked to perform at one of the world's most expensive clubs
in Monte Carlo; where the European jet-set bathe in buckets of Cristal
champagne and mingle with the fashion hierarchy. Rapidly becoming the chief
spokesman for Italian disco, it is evident to see why the pundits say his music
reflects all that is fresh and vibrant about house music right now, whilst
injecting a savvy and twisted elegance into the aesthetics of being a superstar
dj.Well known for his commercial success, topping video and music charts across
Europe, the demand for his studio expertises on a remix have grown at a
meteoric rate with recent projects including Robbie Rivera 'Aye, Aye', Aye',
Gadjo's 'It's Alright', not to mention one of the hottest record labels on the
planet, Atlantic, hand picking him to remix The Feeling's 'Turn it Up'.
However, it's his latest output from the remix draw that really demonstrates
his impressive ability to hop genres as a producer. Called upon by the
'Godfather of Grime' himself, Wiley, to mix his chart busting 'Summertime',
Alex provided the official club cut for the track .Listen song here:YouTube
