Countdown to Life is Beautiful 2014: M4SONIC

2 Oct

22 days until the second Life is Beautiful festival in Downtown Las Vegas, October 24-26. In anticipation, at DoYouHearTheMusic.com I’ll be running down an artist or two on the lineup! If you haven’t gotten your tickets, do so at www.lifeisbeautiful.com and if you have, awesome and I can’t wait to see you!

It’s time to introduce you to a DJ you must see at Life is Beautiful, M4SONIC.  Hailing from Australia, M4SONIC, is a classically trained pianist, producer turned DJ who has mastered Launchpad/Ableton.  With a crazy knack for beautiful mash-ups, his YouTube videos rack up ridiculous numbers (in the millions) and now he’s taking his show on the road.  Beyond being excited for M4SONIC to drop a massive set in Vegas and thanks to the great team at Sol Republic, we thought we’d help give you a sample of what you can expect; check out this mash-up video M4SONIC made for Life is Beautiful in anticipation of his performance.

 

NEW Girl Talk – All Day

17 Nov

First time I ever heard about Gregg Gillis aka Girl Talk I was fascinated how he was a biomedical engineer by day and DJ by night; how he would frequently hop on a plane to London after work on Friday and be back in the office Monday morning without anyone knowing that he was moonlighting as a DJ.  Well of course he blew up as a DJ and has released four very memorable mixes including Night Ripper and Feed The Animals.  On Monday, he dropped his fifth, All Day which in typical Girl Talk fashion is one heck of a mash-up/sample album.  You can grab yourself a copy of it HERE.   Also you have to check out the Wikipedia page for All Day which breaks down the staggering 372 samples used to create the record.
