Fidget House the new Blog House which was Electro House

Wow! Just when I thought “House” was at it’s end, new house styles are dying and rising faster then you can say “When I Hear Music It Makes Me Dance!” Fidget House?!?!? WTF? One thing that most of these style have in common is the pounding 1-2-3-4 beat which is on the heels of Hardcore but less dark and more infused with sweet skittles.

This is why I love House so much! Always changing, always evolving but staying true to it’s roots. Ok That’s my friday rant, have a listen to some top notch “Fidget House” gotta love it.

Justice + Garageband = BanginBeats!

As one of the most hyped duos in electronic music it’s only natural that people want to know the tools of Justice’s trade, perhaps in an effort to emulate their success. When first starting out, budding producers will often dip their toes into the water with some of the more rudimentary software packages around, like Fruity Loops, Reason, or Mac’s popular GarageBand program.

In a recent interview with Pitchfork, Justice let everyone in on a little secret; they produce all their music, including their critically acclaimed 2007 debut album †, on GarageBand. “It’s amazing,” Xavier de Rosnay said. “A lot of people think it’s bullshit when we say we use GarageBand, but it’s actually an amazing tool.” [inthemix]

Marilyn Manson / The Beautiful People [Sebastien Leger Remix]

Marilyn Manson - The Beautiful People (Sebastien Leger Remix)

DJ Mag / Top 100 DJ’s 2008 / Will BlogHouse Win?

It’s that time of year again to clean out your room… NOT! It’s time to vote for your favorite DJ of 2008. Who will top this year’s chart? Who will be rejected by DJmag for not playing by the rules?

Since the last Top 100 DJ poll house and bands have been evolving and recreating. Creating what I thought was electro house then soon turned electronic and the real kicker here ‘BlogHouse’! WTF? One has to ask are the Crookers as much as a dj like Paul Van Dyke or BadBoyBill?

If this DJmag poll starts to circulate like a tornado in the blog era, we might see some unfamiliar DJ and genres on the top of the charts.

** VOTE HERE **

Crookers / E.P.istola / Its Looney!

Here is the Crookers new EP, Istola. It’s pretty fricken Looney Toons! In a bangin good way of course!

Juno.co.uk / Your SuperStar DJ Chart List!

/////////// Tired of the same old charts by John Digweed? Ever feel the dj chart list was based on sponsor ship and not true love for the track? Forget the other DJ’s create your own unique dj chart list at juno.co.uk read more…

Now, pioneering dance music web stores Juno Records (http://www.juno.co.uk) and Juno Download (http://www.junodownload.com) have introduced a unique, user-generated system for bringing DJ charts into the web 2.0 age. A new feature on Juno’s web sites allows DJs to build charts instantly, using a one-click system that allows access to every available new dance release. The DJ can then publish his chart and distribute it by e-mail, link them to their Myspace or Facebook page, or tag them on bookmark sites like Delicious, Digg, StumbleUpon and Reddit.

The new system has already proved popular, with charts created by big-name DJs like Jerome Sydenham, Mark Farina, Rolando, Dan Curtin and Rui Da Silva. But unlike traditional DJ charts features, access isn’t limited to superstar DJs – any user can create a chart. Some of the most interesting charts have come from unknown DJs picking eclectic selections of lesser-known gems that would often go un-noticed. [undergroundvibez]

HARD Hunted Masion / I Busted A Nut!?!

HARD Hunted Mansion / Friday 10.31.2008 / Halloween Party / Los Angeles

Soulwax / Simian Mobile Disco / Deadmau5 / Boys Noize / Crystal Castles / Crookers / Steve Aoki / and more…

WOW! Imagine if the people of HARD could lure Daft Punk and Justice for this show! I would give my left nut but lucky I don’t have too. I creamed my pants when I found this email in my SPAM box of all places!

Tickets are $45 bucks but if the talent don’t call in sick like ‘Kid Sister’ at the last event then this is well worth the buck. Good Music, Halloween, and fucken Electro, bloghouse or whatever you want to call it!
