News: J. Cole’s Born Sinner Release Date Moved to Same As Kanye West’s Yeezus

J. Cole’s very anticipated album Born Sinner now has a release date the same date as Kanye West’s Yeezus. While J. Cole isn’t projecting himself up on buildings all over the world, we can expect very good things from this album based on his only two singles out right now; “Power Trip” with Miguel & “Miss America”. Tracklist has also been leaked and you can view it after the jump. There are no rap features on this album on purpose but expect features from Miguel, Frank Ocean, TLC, and Anthony Hamilton. Remember when 50 Cent and Kanye matched up awhile back? Will Kanye come up on top again? JUNE 18th

News: Daft Punk show up at F1 Race

The french duo showed up yesterday at the Monaco Grand Prix for the race of their own F1 sponsored car. Wearing their full uniform or course, the robots made a huge impact on the race and revamped the look of the car, the F1 teams gear, and even their Twitter. Above is the commercial they made for their new car and like everything else they’ve done it’s fucking awesome. The unofficial commercial is above but the official one plays a snippet of “Give Life Back To Music”. Still can’t get enough of their new album. With their album at Number 1 pretty much everywhere around the world and people buying knock-off thousand dollar replica robot helmets, these guys have the world in their hands.

Preview: Paradiso Festival 2013

Northwest electronic music fans: it’s time to return to the Gorge for round two of USC Events’ massive summer experience: Paradiso Festival.  After last year’s positive reception and incredible result, the brains behind the PNW’s biggest and best massives are back and have increased the event in size, duration, and production value.  The lineup is the largest and most diverse the Pacific Northwest has ever seen, featuring huge acts like Tiesto, Kaskade, Porter Robinson, Eric Prydz, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Gareth Emery, Madeon, Tommy Trash, Zeds Dead, and many more.  Along with this insane lineup comes two twelve-hour days of music, a beautiful venue in the heart of Washington State, some great carnival rides, and a camping experience unrivaled by any other.  USC Events has consistently been pushing the envelope with both their diverse lineups and incredible production value, and Paradiso 2013 is sure to be another step in the exponential growth of the Northwest electronic music scene.

Take a look at the full lineup after the jump, along with a few shots from last years festival and my breakdown of some of the best potential performances you will see at Paradiso 2013.  But for now, here’s the link to the site and the recap video from last year’s wildly successful event.

News: “Clarity” by ZEDD Will Be On Glee’s Season Finale

Like you probably are now, I was fairly surprised when I came across this cover by the Glee cast. Apparently, they are going to be airing this cover of ZEDD & Foxes’ “Clarity.” This track, for many, has been simply amazing. A ton of things are going on from ZEDD’s amazing production to the vocals brought to you by the one and only Foxes. I haven’t watched this show in probably 3 years now, so I have no idea what’s going on within the show. Anyways, still pretty dope that ZEDD is able to break through to the mainstream audience in this way. I’ve also posted another video with ZEDD and Jessica Sanchez, an artist from Glee. Personally, I think her voice is too strong for the part but don’t freak out on me for saying that. I’m just one opinion!
