  • SHAKEDOWN Vol. II headliners are two of Los Angeles’s premier Bass Music Producers; FLINCH (Smog L.A.) & NO BODY (LED)
  • FLINCH (Smog L.A.): Los Angeles based beat maker Adam Glassco, better known as Flinch, is no stranger to the EDM world. A veteran producer who has progressed effortlessly from his beginnings in drum & bass and then electro, to current endeavors into jump-up and deeper, more melodic synth-based dubstep. The succession of sounds Flinch adheres to reflects a new breed of artists distinguished most by his ability to marry a massive, tear-out bassline with a melody that could serenade your grandmother, or create tracks that pair careful grit & distortion with catchy songwriting. A true tastemaker, Flinch consistently delivers a wide selection of cuts riding between the UK funky, club, moombahton, techno, garage, and dubstep genre lines. There is an undeniable buzz in the bass music world for Flinch’s recent productions on labels like SMOG and Trouble & Bass records, but most notably the massive “World On Fire,” which has often been championed by Skrillex, 12th Planet, and Datsik and is making a huge impact with audiences worldwide. http://soundcloud.com/flinchbass
  • NO BODY (LED): Ruben and Kevin first met after performing at the world famous Control Los Angeles in Hollywood, CA. They expressed an interest in collaborating with one another and to their surprise, their efforts went incredibly well. No Body was formed soon after in November 2010, after Ruben and Kevin successfully collaborated to create their first original tracks (Don’t Go, Two, We Speak American). Receiving support from some of the best in the business such as; Deadmau5, Tiesto, Hardwell, Axwell, Sidney Samson, Chris Lake, Congorock, Dada Life, Autoerotique, Porter Robinson, Dave Nada, Supabeatz, Lucky Date, and DJ Neoteric, No Body showed great promise. And that was only the beginning. Fresh off their heavily discussed Las Vegas Electric Daisy Carnival DJ set on The Discovery Stage – No Body is excited to be back home in L.A. continuing their homerun hitting streak of stellar stage performances! http://soundcloud.com/no-body-official

It features some standout tracks from Coachella, new Kaskade Mashups, Tiesto, Morgan Page, Michael Woods, Deniz Koyu, Swedish House Mafia and more. The beginning transition is messed up (didn’t realize it until it was all done) but the rest is okay. Put it on for a long drive or before your workout. Hope you like it :)

Mat Zo‘s sound is super unique. I just heard his track The Sky on Above & Beyond’s Trance Around The World (aka TATW) podcast #419, and. it. blew. my. mind. The floaty vocals + upbeat bass wobble are a combination I’ve never heard before and left me mezmerized. It will be out May 14th on Anjunabeats and be sure to catch him at Electric Daisy Carnival in Vegas this June.

Morgan Page’s album has been on repeat for a week. I give it a solid A. Nadia Ali’s voice is just plain Awesome.

 

The Black Keys’ newest album El Camino is pure excellence. Stuck on repeat.

HARD X Mouth Taped Shut was a secret event held over the past month in several big cities including London, San Francisco, New York City, Stockholm, Chicago, and Los Angeles. Headliners such as Major Lazer (SF), Sebastian Ingrosso (Chicago), Groove Armada/Madeon (London), Miike Snow/Chase&Status/Noisia (Stockholm), and Bloody Beetroots (NYC) weren’t announced until a few days before the event, offering fans who had RSVP’d through e-mail free tickets to the event. I found out on Friday the e-mail list wasn’t being checked and anyone 18+ could basically go and pick up a free ticket until they ran out. I couldn’t make it to the ticket office on Friday night, so I woke up Saturday morning and decided to test my luck. I drove to the Palladium box office and stood in line for a few minutes. As we approached the Security guys who were checking our IDs, I saw that the tickets were running out by the second. I panicked, quickly gave him my ID, and got handed (I kid you not) the LAST TICKET !!! I couldn’t believe my luck. I must have really good karma, because ladies & gentlemen I saw Proxy, James Murphy, and Deadmau5 that night… FO’ FREE.
