    MARTIN GARCIA (DJ Set ) Since his beginnings as a professional DJ, Martin Garcia ’s artistic evolution was mainly lead by the British dance music industry, which he slowly incorporated and adapted to the local scene. After playing in different clubs of Buenos Aires , his sessions at internationally acclaimed Clubland nights at Pacha made him acquire a weight of his own. From that moment on, he’s played many times alongside Sasha , Nick Warren , Jimmy Van M . and Danny Howells , among other artists. A smooth m ixing technique and the details of his sound selections have gained him a huge recognition from the great number of progressive house fans along Argentina and Latin America. A success he’s also achieved as a producer, either individually or together as a p owerful duo with Hernan Cattaneo , releasing on labels such as Perfecto , Shinichi and Bedrock . In 2005 Martin was the first guest DJ at London's Kiss FM and he entered number 50 at DJ Mag 's ranking. November and December saw him touring with John Digweed around South America, where he’s played many times before in Peru, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay and Colombia. Present each year inside the line up of the famous Creamfields Buenos Aires , he's usually a headliner in such events as Moonpark parties and 1Live! In 2006 he's already played at East Fest Punta del Este , Uruguay’s glamour summer spot, Southfest 's third edition (he played the first one too) and he also made his debut at Miami's Winter Music Conference with a memorable back to back with Hernan Cattaneo and a special set for Frisky Radio .

  • Warten Auf Das Neue Album
    # 2018/01 dschungel https://jungle.world/artikel/2018/01/warten-auf-das-neue-album In diesem Jahr erscheint das neue Album von The Breeders Warten auf das neue Album Von Dierk Saathoff Zehn Jahre sind vergangen, seit The Breeders ihr letztes Album veröffentlicht haben. Nun wurde ein neues für 2018 angekündigt. Die beiden Gitarre spielenden Frauen sahen sich zum Verwechseln ähnlich, auch ihre Singstimmen waren kaum voneinander zu unterscheiden. Der Moderator Conan O’Brien, in dessen Sendung dieser Auftritt 1993 stattfand, hatte die Band anhand ihrer Selbstbeschreibung angekündigt: »Just a bunch of rock chicks who like to play loud guitar music.« Und das taten die Breeders dann auch, vor einer Videoprojektion, die Menschen beim Billard zeigte, spielten sie laute Gitarrenmusik, genauer gesagt den Song »Divine Hammer«, wobei man nicht eindeutig klären kann, ob in dem Stück über einen gigantisch großen Penis oder doch über eine ­reli­giöse Erweckung gesungen wird. Über die Breeders wird durchgängig kolportiert, es handele sich bei ihnen um ein Nebenprojekt der Bassistin der Pixies, Kim Deal. Mit der Verwendung des Wortes »Nebenprojekt« geht eine Abwertung einher, eingefleischte Fans der Pixies reden sich so ein, die Mitglieder ihrer heiligen Band seien auf diese verpflichtet, wenn einer von ihnen noch in einer anderen Band involviert ist, sei das nur eine Spielerei, passiere nur ­nebenbei. Für Kim Deal war es wohl mehr als das: Genervt von den Attitüden des Sängers der Pixies, Frank Black, gründete sie 1989 wohl nicht zufällig eine fast ausschließlich aus Frauen bestehende Band, die Breeders. Auch Tanya Donelli und Josephine Wiggs hatten schon in anderen Bands gespielt und suchten bei den Breeders ein neues Umfeld, um besser das musikalisch verwirklichen zu können, was ihnen vorschwebte.

As recently documented by NPR, 1993 proved to be an important — nay, essential — year for hip-hop. It was the year that saw 2Pac become an icon, Biz Markie entangled in a precedent-setting sample lawsuit, and the rise of the Wu-Tang Clan. Indeed, there are few other years in hip- hop history that have borne witness to so many important releases or events, save for 1983, in which rap powerhouse Def Jam was founded in Russell Simmons’ dorm room, or 1988, which saw the release of about a dozen or so game-changing releases. So this got us thinking: Is there really a best year for hip-hop? As Treble’s writers debated and deliberated, we came up with a few different answers, mostly in the forms of blocks of four or five years each. But there was one thing they all had in common: they were all in the 1990s. Now, some of this can be chalked up to age — most of Treble’s staff and contributors were born in the 1980s, and cut their musical teeth in the 1990s.

    Armin Van Buuren, Zedd, Pete Tong, Carl Cox, Excision and Steve Angello to Headline 2015 Bud Light Digital Dreams Festival, June 27 & 28 Toronto, ON (March 31, 2015) – Bud Light Digital Dreams has recently announced the very best local and international talent across multiple electronic music genres. Our Dreamers will see these artists grace three stages at Bud Light Digital Dreams Electronic Music Festival this summer over two days. Back for its fourth year, Bud Light Digital Dreams, produced by Live Nation Canada in partnership with INK Entertainment, will take place in Toronto at the The Flats at Ontario Place on Saturday, June 27th and Sunday June 28th. Since the inauguration of the festival in 2012 we have continuously worked to bring in top tier talent, state of the art technologies, and a cultural experience like no other. This year will be no different. As the landscape of festivals and electronic dance music continues to evolve, so do we. Included in our evolution will be the introduction of the BACARDÍ® Untameable Stage. This stage features the newest genre of house music, future live sounds that includes the use of live instruments and performances. The BACARDÍ Untameable Stage will also showcase the biggest names in dubstep and bass music. “Helping to showcase the evolution of music is a role that we are proud to play,” said Nadine Iacocca, Marketing Director, Rums for Bacardi Canada Inc. “As EDM continues to heavily influence the future of music, we are excited to be part of the journey that showcases the energy, optimism and passion of those boundary- pushing artists.” In addition, Bud Light Digital Dreams welcomes Spotify as the exclusive online streaming partner.
