Tech-House music has been around forever… Really tho, ever since the electronic music movement, tech-house has been there elbowing its way to our ears, ipods, radios and hearts! Now that everyone has drank the tech-house-Kool-aid, we’re happy to say that the evolution of tech-house has gotten deeper, sexier, dirtier and, quite frankly, stronger then any other form… I mean, who doesn’t like to go down the rabbit hole and play for a while ;-)?!?! Up and coming artist Anything Else has dropped ‘Ayo Techno’ and it really defines OUR definition of the genre. Pulling from the original concept of tech-house, the track has killer support from other DJs like Wax Motif, Destructo, CUFF, Thee Cool Cats, Chad Tyson, Heartly Beats, Clyde P and now us! Check out the track below and let us know what you think!
Kaskade Steve Aoki A-trak Sunday May 24th at the Indy 500’s Snake Pit
As beloved fans of EDM, we can’t wait to reunite our bodies to the beats of Kaskade, Steve Aoki & finally catch A-Track live. Over the last couple of years the Indy 500 SnakePit has brought us an incredible line up of DJs, from Afrojack to Benny Benassi to Diplo and now Kaskade, Steve Aoki & A-track. It is pretty clear that we, and hundreds of other EDM fans, will be buring like wild fire the grounds of the Indianapolis Motor speed way – specifically round 3 – to the production and incredible music of these DJs.
So get ready! Pack your water bottles (It’s a hot day and long day, so remember to hydrate), comfortable (but cute) shoes, SPF (because nobody likes a farmers tan) and your favorite people (because this party is way more fun with friends). Tickets are still available here & get them in advance because waiting in line is not cute!
The Raleigh Hotel South Beach is the iconic home for incredible parties during Miami Music Week. The lobby exudes sexiness, the pool is pure perfection and the ocean view rooms are hard to leave! At an intimate event hosted at the Raleigh’s penthouse we were able to play catch up with one of raannt’s friends… DJ/Producer MAK J! This stud has a crazy couple of days, followed by a positively hectic few months! New tracks will be drops and by his own label! Check out what surprises MAK J has in store for us and what we all should expect for the rest of this Miami experience!
