Remember that really cool song that was playing on the Bud Light commercial during the Super Bowl??? Well, here it is!
It’s no secret that Bud Light kills it with their Super Bowl advertising every year, but this year it’s on a whole other level. The 90-second ad features Life On Planes label boss and Grammy-nominated producer DJ White Shadow on the 1s and 2s, soundtracking a massive real life game of PAC-MAN™ – all a part of Bud Light’s recent #UpForAnything campaign.
Featuring White Shadow’s own production alongside irreverent sampling of the timeless sound effects from the arcade classic, “DJ White Shadow vs. PAC-MAN™” is available for streaming below:
Watch the commercial here:
Gloriously drenched in fog from the outset, Gengahr’s ‘She’s A Witch’ is truly spellbinding. Released on March 16th via Transgressive Records, it’s the perfect take of their hazy melodic guitar-pop, and teases at the band’s upcoming and highly anticipated May-scheduled album.

2014 was a huge first year for Oakland duo, Dimond Saints. Emerging as one of the most promising producers to hit the scene with several Hype Machine toppers and massive festival plays. Releasing over 24 songs to critical acclaim from the likes of Billboard and beyond. 2015 is sure to start with a uproar with their first release titled, “Push It Down”.
“Your Wish” opens with a hypnotic guitar loop, and is found on Talisco’s 2014 EP My Home (Spotify). On the EP, Talisco seamlessly weaves mesmerizing mid-tempos, before letting the chords, beats and the vocals explode when the city lights finally prevail. Talisco’s music brings together elements of Americana with nuances of subtle, electro-folk. Armed with a Fender Telecaster, vintage reverb and his angelic voice, the Parisian artists’ music is an amalgam of his experiences, illustrating the unavoidable urge to get away.
“Your Wish” is also the first song featured in a worldwide ad for Google Cast that went live this week, marking the first time Talisco’s music has crossed the ocean for US listeners!

In order to create the entrancing “Fade Out Lines,” French artist and producer THE AVENER reinterpreted Phoebe Killdeer and The Short Straws’ song “The Fade Out Line.” It’s a delicately dark and undeniably hypnotic mix of deep house, propulsive handclaps, and alternative pop. The Avener has ghost-produced numerous club hits overseas – while his delicate, radiant style has been welcomed as a So French Touch of Elegance, a rediscovery of the missing link between harmonic emotion and the urge to dance.

Feeding a growing appetite for vinyl and “specialty products” among passionate music fans, Federal Prism has partnered with Girlie Action, Acme Creative Group and Pledge Music to create a unique pop up Record Shop with an exciting mix of exclusive and limited addition titles. The store will operate for 60 days starting today.
Federal Prism’s managing partner, Jeff Bowers, discusses how the idea was conceived. “We are at a moment in music when some of the most well received artists and releases in recent memory have little to nothing in the retail space. It is my hope that we can take the lessons of Record Store Day and the resurgent popularity of vinyl, and pull these consumer models together and make a compelling experience for the fan. I am asking talented kids, the next generation, who have never sold anything in a record store to make something unique that interests them and their fan base, and we are placing that next to traditional music configurations by established artists. That doesn’t happen anywhere with any consistency. It doesn’t happen at iTunes and it certainly doesn’t happen at Best Buy.“

Bowers, who started DIY label Soul Force Records in his native Tempe, AZ at the age of 15, worked for a decade as a creative marketing consultant for Warner Bros. Records and Atlantic, where he worked on classic vinyl reissues by Led Zeppelin, Metallica and Neil Young, as well as Nirvana and Sonic Youth and more contemporary Record Store Day releases by Skrillex, Fun., Portugal. The Man and Grouplove. While at Warner between 2007-2014, Bowers helped the label secure the number one marketshare in the vinyl format, moving from mid-six figures when he started to eight figures by the time he left as well as founding three record labels signed to the group.
