Last week we got the chance to speak with the legendary DJ/Remixer/Producer Johnny Vicious, a staple on the dance music scene for over 20 years. We chatted about the remix process, who he has been most excited to remix over the years and what new projects he is working on. Johnny has just created rocking mixes of Athene Noelle and Ultraviolet Sound for us, and you can preview the Ultraviolet Sound one at the start of our video interview. Check it out!
By now you should all have checked out Bedük, whose album Go is off to a great start at college radio! Check out this little interview that he did with MTV in which he talks about making music and how he tries to blend musical styles and the concept behind the Electric Girl video!
Late yesterday we got the very exiting news that Kylie Minogue’s critically acclaimed album Aphrodite has hit number #19 on the Billboard Top 200! This is the best U.S. chart position she has received since 2002′s Fever album! Hot off the heels of that news, Peter Rauhofer tweeted out his mix of All The Lovers early this morning. I’d been waiting with baited breath for this one, and it does not disappoint. Nice job Peter!
If you have yet to pick up Aphrodite, I really recommend that you do -- such a fun pop album and one of Kylie’s best in years. Personally I snagged the rather tasty ‘Experience Edition’ which features extras such as footage from the For You, For Me tour, an exlusive interview with Kylie and Aphrodite producer Stuart Price and much more. Check out the trailer for this below!
One of the most interesting records I have heard this year is It’s On by Jasper James which has secured Jasper her first Billboard chart position ever! A couple of weeks ago Jasper stopped by the Pro Motion loft while in town from LA. We chatted about her infectious brand of electro-hop with a dance twist. Check out the interview with this rising star below!
When I heard Brandon Flowers was coming out with a solo record I was greatly intrigued! I’m really loving Crossfire, it sounds very U2 to me! Check out the just premiered video for the track -- it features Charlize Theron! I love the album art for Flamingo and I can’t wait to hear it!
p.s. We’ll have some hot Crossfire mixes coming your way soon -- stand by!
