For the past 6 months, The Overthrow Collective and I have been performing this sort of experimental party in Downtown LA called Lil Death. The project is essentially a weekly event centered around a very specific tech-noir sound that we like to call “Gotham Wave.” To tantalize your curiosity, I’ve just released version 2.0 of our Lil Death mix series with influences of post-punk, industrial, french techno, and witch house. Lil Death’s…

I must say, I really enjoy digging for music… and I find great pleasure in giving your ear drums something rad to listen to through this little blog of mine. Therefore I’m super excited to announce that last month I had the honor to come on board as the *first female* contributor of the #1 EDM blog in America Gotta Dance Dirty. With that said I won’t be writing here…

Alas, my enduring obsession with all things Steve Moore continues, including his many aliases Gianni Rossi, Lovelock & Zombi. When I first heard his music a couple of years ago, I couldn’t find a trace of him online, swearing ownership to some presumed relic from my parent’s generation. To date I still haven’t figured out if he’s from the past or the future, nonetheless Steve Moore’s cinematic sound is arguably…

For those of you who listen to my mixtapes or just love great music, I’m excited to announce that one of my favorite french electronic music producers (since 2006 & forever), KAVINSKY, is releasing his highly anticipated EP soon this year (thumbs up if you knew about Kavinsky before Drive). Little is known about him other than he was killed in a car accident in 1986 with his beloved Ferrari…

If you speak spanish you’ve probably heard about this band, but if you haven’t I’m always stoked to introduce people to new music. In this case I’m talking about the indie/electronic band Disco Ruido from Mexico. Outside their hometown of Mexico City, they’ve received some international recognition: being nominated for Best Mexican Artist in the Independent Music Awards of Spain. In Mexico they’ve performed with indie american bands like TV…

As some of you might know me and my crew at Overthrow recently expanded our offices from Miami to Los Angeles. While here we’ve been inspired to create something dark & out of the ordinary in this great city. With that said, we are ready to unveil our newest party project called “LIL DEATH”, which summons the spirit of the murderous Black Sunday and the legendary “hood rave” Sloppy Seconds….

A couple of months ago in the search of rare gems I came across a song that really caught my attention. From it’s futuristic, spacey psychedelic sound and galloping baseline I thought it was something made during the 80′s in Europe when Italo Disco was in full throttle, then I heard a harsh male spanish vocal… I must admit I was confused but very excited being of spanish descent myself….

I’m a huge fan of any music coming out of France, so I’m glad to introduce you to Kitsuné’s Parisian duo Housse De Racket, composed by Pierre Leroux and Victor Le Masne. Their music is a mix of indie-dance and psychedelic electro-pop, mostly with French lyrics, and can be compared to the sounds of the superb Two Door Cinema Club. Today, they have released their second album, “Alesia”, named album…

Munich’s impossibly named duo, Schlachthofbronx, just came out with their EP for Mixpak titled “Mudders”, backed with remixes by Toddla T and Canblaster&Myd. When I heard the original my jaw dropped, I’ve never heard anything like it and I loved it. Sounds like some weird stabby rhythm african techno with extremely high energy bouncy dancehall music, armed with sirens and jumping synths … Let’s put it like this, if Super…

One thing we can all agree on is that most white girls are lacking in the swag department, hence the reason a bad-ass white female artist in the Hip-Hop world has been unheard of… until now. Has the gap been filled with the 21-year-old Kreayshawn? After putting some “basic bitches” in check with her viral YouTube music video “Gucci Gucci” raking in over 9M views since uploaded in May, now…
