    [media-credit name=”Photo: Courtesy of the publicist” width=682 align=”center”][/media-credit]

    Dru Hill, one of the most exciting R&B groups from the early 00s, will start their extensive tour in North America, in celebration of their twenty-fifth anniversary. Furthermore, the press release explains, “Over the last 25+ years, Dru Hill has received multiple awards, performed across the world, topped the Billboard Music charts multiple times, and has sold over 40 million records worldwide. Recording new material and continuously performing at sold-out venues around the globe, Dru Hill continues to solidify its legacy as one of the greatest groups of all time. Most recently, Dru Hill was the recipient of the Urban Music Icon Award presented by Black Music Honors.

    Founded in 1992 as “14K Harmony”, the group, discovered by manager Kevin Peck, evolved to become Dru Hill in 1996, engraving itself into the legacy of R&B music and bringing a dynamic sound to the ever-changing industry. Known for hits like ‘Tell Me’, ‘In My Bed’, ‘Never Make a Promise’, and ‘How Deep Is Your Love’, the group has given the world music for the ages.”

  • First Look: Chlöe Howl

    Chlöe Howl

    British teenage sensation Chlöe Howl is set to impress audiences abroad as she embarks on a string of highly anticipated North American live dates next month, coupled with the March 11 release of her forthcoming extended play, “Rumour”.

    Hailed by the BBC and it’s highly regarded “Sound of…” series, which were previously won by Adele, Ellie Goulding and Haim, and nominated for the Critic’s Choice Award at the 2014 BRIT Awards last month, Chlöe Howl is clearly exciting critics and music fans with her uninhibited lyricism and infectious electro-pop beats. Already climbing the charts in Europe, the feisty and outspoken redhead is poised to do much the same here in the U.S. in 2014.

    Chlöe Howl’s unique approach to songwriting suggests she’s lived a full life already as she ponders relationships, casual affairs, the nightlife scene and growing old. Channeling her love of English literature — and at only 18 years of age — She is fast becoming recognized for her quirky observational storytelling and no-nonsense approach in her music.

    Her U.S. debut comes as a 4-track EP titled “Rumour” and will be released in time for her SXSW dates on March 11 on Columbia Records. The EP is an impressive taster of what’s come from this promising young star who cites bands such a The Smiths and New Order as her influences. Poised to create waves next month with her live performances in Austin’s SXSW Festival and again in New York City at the exclusive downtown club The Box, and with the seal of approval from the likes of NME, Stereogum and Pitchfork, Chlöe Howl is certainly a teenage force to be reckoned with.

    Chlöe Howl is currently on tour in Europe with Ellie Goulding and is working on her debut album. Be sure to catch her live on one of the following dates:

    North American Tour Dates

    03/12 – SXSW Secret Sounds Showcase @ Holy Mountain – 04:40PM

    [highlight_blue]Listen To Paper Diamond’s Cold Crush Tour Mix via this awesome link.[/highlight_blue]

    On this tour, Paper Diamond will be experimenting with new gear by incorporating creative beatmaking with an acclaimed sound library on Maschine Studio into his live stage productions. During 2014, fans can expect to hear a plethora of new tunes, some featuring never-before-heard collaborations during his recent LA studio sessions with various writers, producers and singers. On his March LP release Paragon, Paper Diamond featured a wide array of talent including the adored pop indie singer Angela McCluskey, the widely embraced production duo Christian Rich, plus Cherub, Buku, Gavin Turke, J Fresh, and Protohype. His fans will certainly have a lot of new material to discover.

    The dynamics of Paper Diamond’s live performance makes every show a unqiue experience. Alex explains how he improvises each set live every night to give his fans a truly unique experience.

    [quote]I’m using my iPad on stage to control two computers, one has Ableton to play the music, which then sends a MIDI signal to the second computer, where I can control all of the LEDs and live visuals on stage that will capture the nonstop energy of my set. So basically, I get to represent myself in not just a musical manner, but I get to provide an overall visual experience for my fans as well.[/quote]

    Supporting artists playing on tour such as LoudPvck, Branchez, Gent & Jawns, and Manic Focus, were all hand picked by Alex who takes note that they each share a similar philosophy.

    [quote]We all love the same things, we like to play great music and have a great time, and I wanted to bring along good music from artists that I personally enjoy and respect.[/quote]

    Bursting onto the trap scene in 2012, the Los Angeles based duo, LoudPvak consists of DJ producers Kenny Beats and Ryan Marks, who have been blowing up with their big room bassy style and remixes from the likes of Kill the Noise, AutoErotique and Nervo. Paper Diamond says of LoudPvak‘s style, “The tricks they do with production really intrigues me.”

    You can always hear a choice cut from Gent & Jawns‘ during Paper Diamond’s sets, who have become an unstoppable force in the world of club music. The release of their now classic Moombahton anthem “Vibrate” landed them remixes for Datsik, Bare, and Muffler, as well as collaborations with Nadastrom, Torro Torro and JWLS. Playing on the tour’s first leg, is Buzzworthy New York native producer Branchez, who recently bonded with Alex during Zeds Dead Altered States tour and has his own fresh take on blending jazz, slow burning rap beats and synths that oozes soulful timbre. Manic Focus also joins the crew with his energized electro hip-hop filled with deep bass lines and melodious grooves. Stay tuned for more artists and dates to be announced on The Cold Crush Tour.

  • Lorde Announces North American Tour Dates For 2014

    Lorde
    Image: Olivia Hemus

    As 2013 closes in, Grammy nominated New Zealander Lorde continues her worldwide reign. Already becoming the youngest artist to write all of her own material and top the U.S. Billboard charts, her debut single ‘Royals’, released on Lava / Republic Records, remained at #1 for an impressive 9 weeks, topping the charts in an additional 45 countries and selling 7.5 million copies across the globe.

    In March, Lorde and her band will be embarking on a 16-date tour across North America which starts in Austin, Texas, making stops New York City, Chicago, Boston to name a few and winding up on the west coast at the 2,800 capacity Fox Oakland Theater in California.

    On December 3rd, Lorde released the new video for her follow-up single ‘Team’, which is also currently climbing the charts. The concept for the video was realized by Ella herself, as explained on her Facebook and Twitter “(The video) was borne from a dream I had a few months ago about teenagers in their own world, a world with hierarchies and initiations, where the boy who was second in command had acne on his face, and so did the girl who was Queen. I dreamt about this world being so different to anything anyone had ever seen, a dark world full of tropical plants and ruins and sweat. And of this world, I dreamt about tests that didn’t need to be passed in order to be allowed in: sometimes the person who loses is stronger.” 

‘Team’ is currently the #1 greatest spin gainer on the Alternative Radio charts for 3 consecutive weeks now, and climbed to #4 on the iTunes Alternative Singles Chart.

    Her debut album ‘Pure Heroine’ has already topped most “Year End” lists including Rolling Stone Magazine’s who noted “Lorde’s languidly aphoristic lyrics balance rock-star swagger and torqued-up teenage angst”, and The New York Times, who praised “(Pure Heroine) commandeers those wide-open spaces with her lustrous voice and angel-choir harmonies carrying serious thoughts.”

    On December 6th, Lorde performed live at the prestigious annual Grammy Nomination Concert and came away with an impressive 4 nominations, ‘Record of the Year’, ‘Song of the Year’, ‘Best Pop Solo Performance’ and ‘Best Pop Vocal Album’.

    Lorde, also known as Ella Maria Lani Yelich-O’Connor, who recently turned 17-years-old back in September, is officially the youngest artist to top the chart since 1987. ‘Royals’ recently set a new record for “Longest #1 at Alternative Radio by a Female Artist” with a staggering seven weeks at the top.

    ‘Royals’ has held the #1 spot at Alternative and AAA radio for seven consecutive weeks, and it has become the #1 greatest gainer at Rhythmic and Hot AC formats. ‘Royals’ also soared to #1 on the iTunes Overall Top Songs Chart as well as #1 on the Alternative Songs Chart.

    As soon as it was released, ‘Royals’ stirred up a frenzy online. It reached the coveted #1 spot on Hype Machine, and it has racked up over 150 million YouTube and VEVO views.

    Last year, she took New Zealand by storm when her self-released, The Love Club EP, rose to #1 on the country’s top albums chart.

  • New Skrillex 2014 Tour Dates Announced

    Producer, DJ, and all-around great guy Skrillex has announced plans to invade four major markets in February and early March with another round of “takeovers”, hand-selecting diverse, unexpected lineups for numerous shows at different venues in one city over consecutive days. The run expands on the initial Skrillex Takeovers in Los Angeles and New York City that took place two years ago. His effort to rethink and change the way a major artist connects with his fans is ongoing and paramount, and these takeovers are another attempt at engaging and inspiring an audience despite logistical hurdles. Tickets will be on sale to the general public Friday, Dec. 6th. American Express® Card members can purchase a limited supply of tickets, as well as multiple show ticket bundles for San Francisco & Brooklyn shows before the general public, beginning Monday, December 2nd at 2pm EST through Thursday, December 5 at 10PM EST via this link.

    Skrillex Takeovers 2014

    San Francisco will be first in line, set to be ravaged by a full week of unique one-offs featuring A$AP Rocky, Seven Lions, Jack Beats, Alvin Risk, Louisahhh!!!, Craze, UZ, David Heartbreak, Etnik, Samo Sound Boy, GTA, TOKiMONSTA and more artists yet to be announced at venues ranging in capacity from 500 to 8,500. Next, the squad will rock the borough of Brooklyn with guests including Just Blaze, Lunice, Shift K3Y, AC Slater, Bro Safari, Clockwork, and TOKiMONSTA in tow (with even more acts to be added). Over the course of five days, they’ll play small clubs before a throwdown for 3000 people at an undisclosed warehouse on Valentine’s Day.

    Sonny will then make the jump across the pond to Amsterdam for 5 four more days of epic club shows (and a boat party) with Jack Beats, Bro Safari, UZ, Icarus, TC and more, plus a very special night with Noisia and friends in Groningen. The party wraps-up in Barcelona for several shows with comrades Benga, Alvin Risk, KOAN Sound, and more.

    The last Takeovers involved rotating stages, people dressed as superheroes, costumed dancers, blindfolds, and an unprecedented roster of surprise guests. Two years later, it’s only going to get better.

    [quote]I’m excited to do another round of Takeovers. This time we chose four cities that I really think represent and support great art and rad artists: San Francisco, Brooklyn, Amsterdam, and Barcelona. I can’t wait to play some new stuff for you guys.[/quote]
