Moneypenny's Sides

Chicago's DJ Mother Hubbard and DJ A-Cup return as Moneypenny with the amazing release of their EP called Sides. The EP features the title track (Sides, of course!), and a remix of it by Disrupt the Scene. The song is wicked cool, and makes for the perfect companion to the ultimate Summer of 2012 mix!

What's even more cool...  they made the song available for free on their soundcloud page. Which you can visit by clicking here!

For those who may not heard of Moneypenny, before you read my Most Excellent Blog.. please know there is a treasure trove of great information on them available across the internet.

Super cool photo of Moneypenny!

In fact here's a great article featured on Refinery 29's website.

Engerrland!!

Krewella... DEVINE!

Meet Krewella... a dubstep EDM three piece from Chicago. Their new EP "Play Hard" is absolutely awesome! Here's the deal... Krewella's music slams between frantic and pretty... as the band's token male, Kris Trindl, gatecrashes each track in a hail of wicked beats and hard synths. His collaborators, sisters, Yashmin and Jahan Yousaf, craft fantastic vocals that beautifully weave within the whirlwind of insanely clever electro chaos. I love it!

My personal favorite tracks are: 
Alive
Play Hard
One Minute

You can check out their video for Alive below:

Oh yeah!!! I almost forgot... another amazing song you can find on itunes... is a track they did with Adventure Club... the song is called: Rise & Fall.

TRON Uprising : Super bonne!

Tron: Uprising
The must see TV event of the summer!

Techno-color warfare, cyber fashion, and niteglo action... whirls, twists, and derezzes in a world of electro-pixels and synthesized disorder. Tron: Uprising, a TV show from Disney, is a pure visual treat... and features a host of new villains and heroes in the mythology of Tron. The story centers around a young program named Beck who is determined to not let his world fall into the hands of the evil, overlord Clu. In the ensuing "uprising", Beck is faced off against Clu's general, Tesler, and his two lieutenants - Paige and Pavel.

The action never stops, as the story weaves over a binary plain. Beck is a great character with all of the quirks and self doubts of an ancient greek hero, while his primary nemesis Paige is one of the coolest evil villains in Disney's catalog. She's an ice cool character who is determined to bring an end to Beck's "uprising."

Paige and Beck meet

Beck and Tron

Pavel, Paige and General Tesler

Super Cool Paige! She should star in an EDM band!

You can learn more by visiting, the official site.
Also you can buy the episodes (which I strongly recommend!) on itunes!
