Yesterday Major Lazer announced a short tour of Europe this April. Sucks for us all who aren’t going to be there — but lets get real. Where did this song come from and why the hell haven’t I heard it? Amber Coffman …

In the history of my relationships, I have known two red heads who I’m down with. First, my cousin Connor is an OG so obviously we chill. Second is Britain’s electro bad boy Rusko. In the last few years, this …

As you’ve likely heard by now, in front of over 60,000 people last weekend Madonna made a huge appearance in Miami when she announced Avicii last night at Ultra. This was so unexpected that when I found out what happened ,it took a …

After seeing the guidos pound the festival scene into the ground harder than a Jersey Shore episode at Ultra, I’m officially dying for Coachella to be here. Seriously, I know it’s four weeks out–but I don’t know I’m going to …

I’m pretty sure that every bro, guido, hipster, and maybe even a few casual drug users woke up this morning thinking the same thing as me (not saying I’m one of the aforementioned, so dont trip on me). I’m more like …

Ultra Music Festival finished out an exceptional weekend in Miami today with epic sets from guys like David Guetta, Kaskade and the guy that I love (no homo) more than any other artist in the world. Except for the twenty minutes …

Besides the hangovers and bruised egos, the post spring break doldrums aren’t all that bad. With break over, it means that the next event on the social calendar I’ll actually be looking forward to is my annual musical Christmas. With …

With distinct bassline distortions, heavy kicks and a unique synergy of indie, punk and electro-house, Atlanta based Dylan Eiland is Le Castle Vania. While trying to explain what he sounds like to my friends, the best description of Le Castle’s music that …

Weather plays a big role in my enthusiasm for outdoor events, social gatherings, and especially music festivals. In fact, when it rains here at school in the desert, I actually take the liberty of not going to class. I’m serious. …

Like any college student, there are few times I dread more than Midterms and Finals week. Like most of my peers, I typically choose to hold off on reading, studying and class participation until it’s test time, then I go …

Saturday is and always has been the best day of the week. I made it pretty clear why Monday sucks so bad, but I gotta take a second to give my favorite day of the week a shout out. For …

I know it’s a little premature to start saying this sort of thing, but I’m going to be the worst grandfather ever. Not even joking, spoiling your grandchildren is a major tenet of being a grandpa and the other golden …

In the winter of 2009 while I lurked the Coachella Message Boards looking for the latest news about who would be playing at my first Coachella. I came across a killer Swedish indie-pop group by the name of Miike Snow. …

If I can be honest about one thing right now, it’s how much I hate Mondays. Seriously, I dread Mondays like most people dread talking to their significant others’ parents. I’ve found that there is no real cure for bad …

Filming Benny Benassi is a once in a lifetime opportunity, so it was only natural that we recorded almost every minute of my favorite Italian DJ’s set. The only problem with that was that it took me the better part …

Let me just say, Benny Benassi is probably one of the coolest celebrities I’ve ever had the chance to be around. Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t kicking it backstage with Benny talking sports, but I was around him enough …

Finally some good music headed down south to Tucson this weekend. Benny Benassi is going to be playing his first ever show in Tucson and it’s promising to be a Unreal. One of the game’s oldest players, Benny has been killing sets since before …

Martin Solveig came out of nowhere last year with the release of his smash hit Hello, but the Frenchman is now one of Europe’s premier up and coming DJs. He has filmed music videos in the Stade De France and at the French …
