The LIFT department is just about to unleash Scooter‘s new album “Under The Radar Over The Top” to college radio.  In celebration of the release we took the opportunity to send over some questions for the band to answer for us. This serves as an introduction of Germany’s most successful band to you U.S. folks who may be unfamiliar with them (some of you however may have heard their music in Sacha Baron Cohen’s Bruno). Scooter talk about the “Scooter Phenomenon,” their extravagant live show, their new album “Under The Radar Over The Top” and how they keep their music fresh even with seventeen albums under their belt!

While I attend CMJ this week Brad is currently in London soon to be making his way to Amsterdam for ADE. Last night he attended the Electric Proms where Robbie Williams performed. Hopefully we’ll have footage from that to share with you soon! In the meantime take a look at this cool promo for the event featuring plenty of old footage and Robbie talking about his journey from joining Take That at 15, to becoming one of the most successful British solo stars ever. After a three year absence Robbie is back on the scene and after loving the single Bodies we eagerly await more music!

Here is the brand new video from The Crystal Method of Come Back Clean taken from their latest album Divided By Night. The video just premiered on Yahoo Music on Friday. It features the Kaskade Radio Edit version of the track which I’m loving! What do you think of the video?

After a long absence from the scene Maxwell returned this summer with a long overdue album BLACKSummersNight that debuted on the Billboard 200 at number one! This week we are sharing the second set of mixes of Bad Habits with DJs and you can preview them below. Out of this set of mixes I’m particularly feeling the Groove Police mix,  what are you feeling?
