NEW MARU REMIX

Image
"TAP" - MASAYOSHI IIOMORI (MARU REMIX) An industrial factory possessing heavy machinery clanking and impacting one another, creating waves of rippling shrieks, and roars of deep octaves. Well, Maru's remix of Masayoshi's " TAP " can compare. From the country that rocks the boat in innovative electronic music, this Tokyo native beautifully corrupted a track and ripped it into micro shreds of winding bass and synths. Released on a 3 track remix EP, Maru's version of "TAP" undeniably breached the safe zone and took the levels of the original's experimental dance track to another dimension.

THE M MACHINE PRESENTED BY BROWNIES & LEMONADE + GOLDENVOICE The M Machine have been making moves all around their course of the Glare tour ! Making a stop in LA, at The Roxy Theater , this epic duo brought along some of our faves,  Madnap and Omniboi , to give us a show that brought out a great response.

Indeed surprising the crowd, his covers of Porter Robinson to Lil Uzi Vert made it for an unforgettable night. Omniboi then wrapped the evening with his glorious ability to transfix the crowd's attention on his jazzy magnetic piano keys.

The M Machine also brought along a surprise guest, Moving Castle's Manila Killa ! Settling in a night full of music,

POINT OF VIEW INTERVIEW #58

Image
PRODUCER/DJ: FOXSKY Are you ready to rave or are you ready to rave? You could describe Californian producer's, Foxsky, music as ambitious rave but in the end, that's not what it is. It's made up of the inspiration from the underground club scene and the journey of finding true self-expression. The colors and energy made by this out of the box artist are some of the most intriguing and amplifying creations you might ever encounter. Inspired by the various musical factors he surrounds himself with, tracks released from major music labels like Mad Decent, Main Course, or just simply his numerous bootlegs and remixes , are each wrapped in chaos and dynamic noise. After just completing his Japan tour, accompanied by TREKKIE TRAX , we were visually presented with a wild single and music video titled, " Stingray ." Showing his adventures in the country that geographically and socially inspires its visitors, Foxsky is slowly taking over new territory around the world!

The city was busy, people are rushing, sweating, and the streets are crowded, but that doesn't stop us from throwing down a hefty show in the middle of summer.

Right when the clock hit 5:30, Rora Team artist, gupi hopped on his gear and gave us a sarcastic, quirky show by letting loose pop edits and remixes alongside by unrecognized IDs! Then a switch up happened when DC native,  Warpstr , entered the decks and delivered vital club sounds with an inevitable side by side set with jersey club mover hikeii . Soon after, Umru stepped up and released wild 808s
