Nobody Beats the Drum

After a successful run in March, Dutch electro trio NOBODY BEATS THE DRUM prepares to once again invade the US for the summer festival circuit and select headline shows. Vice/HP’s Creators Project reported “The lively electronic trio garnered tremendous reception from fresh crowds at both SXSW and Ultra Music Festival”, claiming them to be, “Amsterdam’s most mind-altering export.”

NOBODY BEATS THE DRUM is production duo Sjam Sjamsoedin, Jori Collignon, and visual artist/video director Rogier van der Zwaag. Starting May 12, they embark on an 8 week tour that will stretch 12,000 miles of the US and Canadian landscape, with few cities missing out on the group’s mix of hypnotic beats and multi-genre blending live sets. This tour will also see the US debut of the group’s nine screen live projection system known as the Telenovem Automaton 333″, aptly named for its captivating visual experience spanning 333 inches in diameter.

Along the tour at festivals like The Hangout, Sasquatch, Wakarusa, Spring Awakening, Governors Ball, Electric Forest, Montreal International Jazz Fest, Quebec City Summer Fest, and Camp Bisco, NOBODY BEATS THE DRUM will perform along with electro heavyweights like Skrillex, A-Trak, Diplo, Afrojack, Steve Aoki, Thievery Corporation and more. Additional shows of note include headliners at LA’s Dim Mak Live, Belly Up Aspen, and Bassmentality Toronto, with supporting slots to Skrillex and Wolfgang Gartner in Canada. Come out to a show and find out why Consequence of Sound calls the band “The future of Dutch dance music”.

Dope Dancin’ Downloads From Milkman

Click image to check out the video for “Aeroplane”

Milkman’s new single “Aeroplane” premiered exclusively on Earmilk “…a warp of powerful fist pumping tunes. The electronic dimensions in “Aeroplane” is milk served in a crunk cup.”

Milkman wanted to serve another club banger in anticipation of his DOING BODIES GOOD TOUR which starts next week. The progressive house and mash-up artist Milkman released his other single “Tiger Lily” two weeks ago, fresh on the heels of his highly acclaimed remix of Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe.” Emerging from the mashup scene as one of the premiere up and coming electro/progressive house artists, Milkman is set to embark on a four-city east coast spring tour in support of his most recent EP, Fragments, which reached #2 on the iTunes electronic chart in it’s first week of release. Joining Milkman on all dates are XXXChange (Spank Rock / Win-Win) and Billy Van (billyvandubstep.com) rounding out what will no doubt be one of the best Spring dance parties.  Tickets are on sale now.

Milkman is the stage alias of artist and producer Gregg Luskin from San Diego, CA. His debut album Lactose and THC was voted the “#2 Mashup Album of All Time” by DJ Forum and after touring extensively around the country is now regarded as one of the most innovative DJs around the country.

Few have had a bigger 2011 than Skrillex. Replete with 2 EPs, the cover of SPIN Magazine, and over 300 performances on several sold-out world tours, Sonny Moore capstones an incredible year with five Grammy nominations, more than almost any other artist. The Atlantic/Big Beat artist has been exceptionally active throughout the last 12 months while simultaneously launching his own record label, OWSLA, as well. These are the 23 year-old’s first Grammy nominations, and honors  include Best New Artist (a first for an electronic musician!), Best Dance Recording and Best Dance/Electronica Album for Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites, Best Remixed Recording for his remix of Benny Benassi’s “Cinema” and Best Music Video for “First of the Year (Equinox)” which has garnered over 20 million views on Youtube.

New Video: VHS or Beta – “Breaking Bones”

VHS or Beta’s upcoming album, Diamonds & Death, is a journey full of thrilling moments and unexpected turns. The album’s electronic foundation is a byproduct of the many nights VHS OR BETA DJs have manned the decks and remixes they have done in the last few years. The self-produced album travels spectacular heights to gut-wrenching plunges and is an emotional rollercoaster. The songs unfold and mutate in unpredictable ways that will transfix dance floors and bedrooms alike. Diamonds & Death will be released September 27 on Krian Music Group/Chromosome Records.

The “Breaking Bones” MP3 was released a few weeks ago and now the band has revealed the stylishly colorful and slightly risqué new video for the track. With a skittering beat, keyboards stabs and a transfixing vocal melody, “Breaking Bones” immediately submerges you into the album and explodes into a guitar-fueled chorus.

Title track “Diamonds & Death” transforms from a minimal synth track into a dance floor behemoth. “I Found a Reason” is a pulsating summer anthem with a soaring refrain built on a foundation of rubbery bass, swooning synth and housey piano chords. Diamonds & Death is an unpredictable journey full of breathtaking epic song-scapes.

The two main creative engines behind VHS OR BETA’s decade-long career, Craig Pfunder and Mark Palgy, relocated to Brooklyn from Louisville over the last two years. Be sure to catch them live on a national tour with Ladytron if you’re able!
