  • TREE of CLUES: a Packet for Popheads
    TREE OF CLUES: a packet for popheads Written by Kevin Kodama 1. In one song by this artist, a background clicking noise slows down as she sings “I found another way / To caress my day”. One of this artist’s videos is a single shot of her as both a giant goddess and tiny dancers that slowly zooms out. A track by this artist that she described as “a medieval march through the destruction of a relationship” laments “I never thought that you would be the one to tie me down”. This artist asks “Why don’t I do it for you” in a video that showcases her pole-dancing skills, and she explained a part of her name as “a selection of letters that sounded... masculine and strong”. For ten points, name this artist who released “Cellophane” for her 2019 album MAGDALENE. ​ ​ ANSWER: FKA twigs (accept Taliah Debrett Barnett) ​ ​ ​ ​ 2. This song’s heavily ad-libbed bridge includes the James Brown-inspired lyric “Good God! I can’t help it!”. In the music video for this song, the artist crawls on the ground sporting white polka dotted lipstick. This song begins with a series of tongue clicking and a breathy “yeah” along with some funky guitars. The video for this song uses pink, purple, and blue lighting in a scene where the artist runs between a male flirt and Tessa Thompson. This song’s artist describes herself as “an emotional sexual bender”, which is a nod to her pansexuality. For ten points, name this top r/popheads track of 2018, a Janelle Monae song that was the lead single for the album Dirty Computer.

Magaña 1 Jose Alejandro Magaña Senior Capstone Professor Sammons Performance in EDM - A Study and Analysis of DJing and Live Performance Artists 1. Introduction Electronic Dance Music (EDM) culture today is often times associated with top mainstream DJs and producers such as Deadmau5, Daft Punk, Calvin Harris, and David Guetta. These are artists who have established their career around DJing and/or producing electronic music albums or remixes and have gone on to headline world-renowned music festivals such as Ultra Music Festival, Electric Daisy Carnival, and Coachella. The problem is that the term “DJ” can be mistakenly used interchangeably between someone who mixes between pre-recorded pieces of music at a venue with a set of turntables and a mixer and an artist who manipulates or creates music or audio live using a combination of computers, hardware, and/or controllers.

  • Skrillex Bio 2021
    SKRILLEX BIO 2021 Sonny Moore aka Skrillex is a 33 year old record producer, DJ, musician, singer and songwriter hailing from Los Angeles who has won 8 Grammy Awards, been named MTV’s Electronic Dance Music Artist of the Year, and holds the record for most Grammys won by an electronic artist. He’s headlined arenas and festivals globally and graced the covers of magazine heavyweights like Rolling Stone and Wired. His collaborations include Justin Bieber, Bruno Mars, FKA Twigs, Kid Cudi, Boys Noize, A$AP Rocky, and Diplo among countless others. Jack Ü, his project with Diplo, had their eponymous album reach #1 on the US Dance charts, with their track “Where Are Ü Now” feat. Justin Bieber going 4x platinum. Skrillex linked with Bieber again for the 8x platinum “Sorry”, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. His label, OWSLA, has launched the careers of some of the most powerful names in electronic music, including Marshmello, Zedd, Porter Robinson, and Mija. He later worked with friend/cult filmmaker Harmony Korine by scoring his critically acclaimed Spring Breakers movie and composed an original track for Pixar’s Wreck It Ralph. He simultaneously penned one of the biggest club hits of the year with A$AP Rocky (Wild For The Night) and dropped his first fashion collaboration with G-Star (it sold out globally in a matter of days). Skrillex took some much needed time off from a never ceasing touring schedule to enjoy some time split between Tokyo and Los Angeles for a creative sabbatical, where he is currently finishing up a trove of new music.

  • Music Review
    6/14/2017 Rich text editor, grade_submission_feedback_comment, press ALT 0 for help. < I like this a lot, but it feels .. heavy. Even the lede sentence is soooo long. Is there a way you can lighten it up a little? Be careful about overdoing it. There are so few albums that are really ABOVE, you know? And we need a little old school in here because I don't know any of the references you make. The past year in popular music has fostered the explosion of Electronic Dance Music and a new generation of neon­clad ravers in America, taking the music from its roots in the clubs and abandoned warehouses of inner cities and dropping it on festival stages big and bright enough to see from space. As tidal waves of young, talented artists, and veterans alike, fight for their share of the spotlight, Russian­German producer Anton Zaslovski, better known as Zedd, has separated himself from the heard with his gut­punching electro­house style and the genre’s most anticipated full­length album release since it’s rise into the American mainstream, his debut record, Clarity. After sending OWSLA record label head honcho and dubstep king, Skrillex, a sample of his work in 2011, Zedd punched his ticket straight to the top of the game. Although Clarity is the artist’s first studio album, it’s seamless flow from track to track and heavy electro influences point to a musician wise beyond his years. Traditionally, EDM has been a genre dominated by single releases with many artists struggling to create cohesive full­length albums that make any sort of lasting impression on listeners.

  • DJ Zedd Has Told Dr
    Lifestyle FRIDAY, APRIL 29, 2016 Prince reportedly had been diagnosed with AIDS six months before he died he 57-year-old musician passed away at his Paisley Park estate in Minneapolis last week and it has been alleged Tthat he contracted HIV in the Nineties before develop- ing full-blown AIDS last year after refusing medication for the illness on religious grounds. Friends of the late star - who was a Jehovah’s Witness - told the National Enquirer magazine: “He was in bad shape. Doctors told Prince his blood count was unusually low and that his body temperature had dropped dangerously below the normal 98.6 degrees. He was totally iron deficient, very weak and often disoriented. He rarely ate and when he did it all came right back up.” However, Prince is said to have told his friends: “God can - and will - cure me.” After his initial HIV diagnosis, Prince was reportedly discouraged from taking medication by members of his faith. A source said: “They told Prince he’d have ever- lasting life and believed he had been cured by faith. “But the symptoms returned and it was too late for medication. He expected to live through the summer but his immune system was very weak.” He is alleged to have been taking prescrip- tion opiates for “AIDS-related pain and hip problems”. These claims come following recent reports that Prince overdosed on the painkiller Percocet six days before his death and had to be given a “save shot” to counteract the effects of opiates, after being taken ill on his private jet on the way back from a gig in Atlanta.
