melodies with snarling dubstep drops, Krewella defies norms in EDM
music.Onstage, the energy of Krewella’s DJ sets is contagious. With unrelenting
growling bass, fans will find themselves raging harder than they ever have
before.“America,
and perhaps even the world-at-large, has a lot to fear from this Chicago-based
threesome, with sultry vocals resounding of many beer-spilled nights and
screaming orgasms.“If sex could be turned into an audio format, it would have
the file extension .Krewella“Their sound is serene melody, bone shaking bass,
and ear piercing Electro noise all rolled into one fluid, handcrafted sound.
One part Afrojack, two parts Skrillex, straight-up with a twist.“Krewella is
one of the fastest rising groups in EDM today.“It’s weird to think that two
beautiful sisters have the potential to create some of the best dubstep in
today’s saturated market. It certainly helps to have two hot DJ’s but it’s
going to take a lot more to last in this industry. ‘Killin’ It’ is a perfect
example showing us why Krewella is here to stay“Them Krewella girls are so
badass“One of the hottest trio acts in the electro world“It should be noted

beautiful voices out there, also make some of the best original dubstep

The Drill is an international chart topping house music record
written produced and performed by electronic music pioneer and Israeli-born UK
producer Matt Schwartz in mid-2004 for His label Destined Records.He was
imitated on numerous occasions firstly by DJs Pakito and Tom Snare.The electro
house scene was just beginning to emerge as a musical style at the time and The
Drill was the first artist to create a rich, pitched leads sound which started
to appear in many electro house compositions.Many new artists emerging in late
2006 (Outwork, Tocadisco, The Egg, etc.), and even already existing ones (Tiesto,
Global Deejays, Royal Gigolos) have slowly integrated this style into their
remixes by 2006-7.The Drill is considered one of the founders of the 2009 Dutch
House movement which sound is based around the same synth riff Matt Schwartz
has used on his seminal "The Drill" in 2004 with the addition of a
pitch bend.Listen song here:YouTube

The late nineteenth and early twentieth century are crucial period for the development of avant-garde thought in art. Prolific period of creativity was initiated and established the further development of the art in areas that were not accessible civic consciousness by then. Rebellious, the creators have invested their lives in creating new ways to communicate fully informed. Of the futurists and expressionists to give, through Surrealism, Fluxus and postmodern vision of the raspšile to all other forms of communication. Music and film have accepted the new value. Punk-rock has brought with it the challenge of releasing establishment and lethargy. New wave music has shifted towards visual art and performance. Graffiti artists and comics are joined by the general color scheme. What is a common nomad from the Sahara desert, jungle Rastafarians from Jamaica and the street performer who released a seemingly inarticulate cries? The answer could be ... FREEDOM. Step out of the usual way of life, a dream, a revolt or a creative urge is the first step towards freedom. It is at your fingertips. In Belgrade there is a place in the sea of books, comics, movies, and CDs can find elements that will remind us that the struggle is not over. Moreover, it is only just beginning!Listen song here:YouTube
Ever experimental, Guetta
transports his collaborators to previously unexplored sonic spaces all
throughout Nothing But The Beat. On “Sweat,” for instance, Guetta remixes one
of his most prized DJ records as a stark, synth-heavy electro-hop track that
spotlights Snoop Dogg’s strikingly sleek vocals. Elsewhere on the album, guest
artists match Guetta’s ingenuity with their own brand of
beamed-in-from-another-dimension whimsy and weirdness. Just as “I Can Only
Imagine” alternates shimmering, buoyant beats with wildly skidding synth, the
track continually trades off Chris Brown’s warm melodies with the lyrical
mischief- making of Lil Wayne (whom Guetta dubs “a big genius”). And on “I Just
Wanna F,” Timbaland and Dev play a deliciously dirty version of the alphabet
game while Guetta lays down a densely textured groove that makes this
futuristic fever dream one of the album’s most irresistible moments.At the
heart of Nothing But The Beat is a selection of soul-stirring songs that reveal
the spirit behind Guetta’s gorgeously crafted beats. With all the passion and
power of an old-school dance anthem, “Night Of Your Life” shows off Jennifer
Hudson’s heavenly voice and remarkable range. On the slow-building “Without
You,” Usher opens with achingly vulnerable vocals that soon swell into a
soaring, sweeping performance ultimately backed by delicate piano work. “It’s
possibly the biggest track on the album,” says Guetta of “Without You.” “It’s a
monster—so big, so emotional.” In a one-two punch, Guetta follows “Without You”
with the equally wistful opening moments of “Nothing Really Matters”—then turns
it all around and elevates the Will.I.Am-led track into an escapist party jam.
“I love playing with both worlds,” says Guetta, noting the bold disparity
between the “crazy electro-beat and the super-sophisticated string arrangement”
on “Nothing Really Matters.”Listen song here:YouTube
Axwell, along with Sebastian Ingrosso, and Steve Angello is
one-third of of what has become known as the Swedish House Mafia.Axwell, born
Axel Hedfors in the Swedish countryside, found that music was in his system
from a tender age. Playing the drums at the age of 9, he became frustrated with
his fellow classmates who could not keep up; he traded his drums at the age of
13 for a computer so he could play all the instruments himself.Axwell released
alot of acidtechno music made with Fasttracker2
in the years of 1995-1997 under the pseudonym Quazar (of Sanxion) and was
featured in the intro of the warezgroup Hybrid’s crack of the classic computer
game Worms 1. During this time he also competed in music competitions, most
notably at the demo party Hype in southern Sweden.During the mid-2000s, Axwell
rose to prominence as a solo artist. His hit Feel The Vibe was very well
received on European dancefloors, and once the track soon picked up support
from a host of big DJs it was re-released with a vocal, reaching #16 in the UK
charts. Other famous tracks include Watch The Sunrise as well as dance music
remixes of Hard Fi’s Hard to Beat and Roger Sanchez’s Turn On The Music.Listen song here:YouTube
Born in 1969 and raised in the rough Marcy Projects of
Brooklyn, NY, Jay-Z underwent some tough times after his father left his mother
before the young rapper was even a teen. Without a man in the house, he became
a self-supportive youth, turning to the streets, where he soon made a name for
himself as a fledging rapper. Known as "Jazzy" in his neighborhood,
he soon shortened his nickname to Jay-Z and did all he could to break into the
rap game. As he vividly discusses in his lyrics, Jay-Z also became a street
hustler around this time, doing what needed to be done to make money. For a
while, he ran around with Jaz-O, aka Big Jaz, a small-time New York rapper with
a record deal but few sales. From Jaz he learned how to navigate through the
rap industry and what moves to make. He also participated in the group Original
Flavor for a short time. Jay-Z subsequently decided to make an untraditional
decision and start his own label rather than sign with an established label
like Jaz had done. Together with friends Damon Dash and Kareem
"Biggs" Burke, he created Roc-a-Fella Records, a risky strategy for
cutting out the middleman and making money for himself. Once he found a
reputable distributor, Priority Records (and then later Def Jam), Jay-Z finally
had everything in place, including a debut album, Reasonable Doubt (1996).Listen song here:YouTube
