Röyksopp "Remind me"
According to Billboard.com top 10 performances at Ultra Music Festival the 5th best performance was Röyksopp. It seems that live vocals do still have a place in electro dance music. "The band proved itself a true festival force."
The list went like this
1. Skrillex (duh)
2. David Guetta
3. Deadmau5
4. Carl Cox
5. Royksopp
6. Afrojack

The Glitch Mob & Steve Aoki @ Congress Theatre
Truly an amazing show. Glitch Mob had a crazy acrobat dancing above them on stage, and Steve Aoki jumped from the 2nd floor balcony onto a inflatable raft in the crowd. What more could could you ask for?

Burial, Four Tet and Thom Yorke new limited single
Rough Trade’s pre-order list, as of the 15th, includes a new 12″ by Burial, Four Tet and Radiohead’s Thom Yorke. No details are given except for the fact it’s black label, housed in a plain black bag, and is being released by Four Tet’s Text label. As expected the release sold out quite quickly. Sad. But take a listen to a radio rip of "Ego" and "Mirror", below.

jj Leaks Meandering, Untitled Song
Swedish duo jj posted the below track up on their blog yesterday with no title, no info, aside from some pretty lyrics about abstract themes of end of days scenarios and the the rebirth that may follow. The Track below, which repeats "The End" over and over, is simply 6+ min of fantastic, melodic, meandering, music. In light of this repetition we are inclined to name it "The End".
jj- "untitled"
---- ProbCause ----
Chicago rapper ProbCause was raised in a recording studio under the wings of his older brother and reputed sound engineer Matt Grimm. Releasing his first album "Weeknights" at the age of 15, Prob immediately gained a cult following for his catchy-conceptual music. Since then, ProbCause has consistently released quality projects [...]Last August for Chicago's finale summer concert, the North Coast Music Festival, over a thousand musicians competed for a place in the line up. After three rounds of voting, ProbCause and two other bands prevailed and were named "Toast of the Coast", earning them the opportunity of a lifetime.... WHHAAAAAAATTTT. Thats baller right there. And Prob did not disappoint festival goers. From the time of the festival till now ProbCause has been one of most successful viral artists coming out of the Chi, propelled by a savvy managing agency (better call up and book The Cause now!). And here we are in 2011. With his most recent mixtape, Spring Cleaning, ripping through the interwebz, Prob was recently asked to go on tour with notorious Chicago Rapper, Twista in March and wildly popular electronic DJ, Steve Aoki in April. (Where and When Below)
The upcoming E.P. Stir Fry, slated for release this month, is praised as a diverse blend of hip-hop, dubstep, electronic and R&B that showcases Prob's ability to organically combine genres and create a cohesive sound at the same time. Below is "Gotta Know", the first single of Stir Fry

Kanye's Monster Banned From MTV
After Epilepsy inducing video, All of the Lights, Kanye is at it again with another controversial vid. This time he takes an artful look at what might be an interpretation of his personality or life style. This video uses intense imagery that objectifies women which is why MTV banned it.
So that was pretty crazy but what about Gaga's master peice, Born This way. Her vid is equally as provocative and takes the viewer to close up shots of her "lower" region. And what about objectifying men? Gaga shows a skeleton man in a tux that has doll like features much like yeezy did to the doll-like women in his vid. But I guess MTV feels its okay because she preaches that she doesn't pass judgment and god made her that way.
Nice, so overall, Kanye will probably capture more viewers from the banning then he would've on MTV because every one wants to know what all the fuss is about and people only watch MTV for Jersey Shore anyways.
Gil Scott-Heron & Jamie xx- "I'll Take Care Of U"

Welcome back to Architecture in Helsinki!
Architecture in Helsinki have been away for what seems to be an eternity. In fact, the band’s last release was in 2007, but their new song “Contact High” quickly brings back all the happy energy they give out on every song. The funky, twee synths, the playful androgynous vocals are all here in “Contact High” their first single of their first album in four years. sounds like it was ripped directly from the 1980′s, and if you listen I think you’ll have no choice but to agree. Its rhythm is infectious, its cuteness undeniable. Check it out.
Architecture in Helsinki’s first album in four years, Moment Bends, is out May 3 in the US. Below is the official video for "Contact High". Check it out!!!

Michael Wolf: "A Series of Unfortunate Events"
Photographer Michael Wolf’s recent Honorable Mention from World Press Photo for his Google Street View-gleaned A Series of Unfortunate Events has been attracting some aesthetic discussions.
Here’s Wolf’s side of the picture:
I use a tripod and mount the camera, photographing a virtual reality that I see on the screen. It’s a real file that I have, I’m not taking a screenshot. I put the camera forward and do an exact crop, and that’s what makes it my picture. It doesn’t belong to Google, because I’m interpreting Google; I’m appropriating Google. If you look at the history of art, there’s a long history of appropriation.Do you think Wolf’s Street View images deserved honorable mention? Thoughts?

Allow Me to Introduce, RoeVy
These Star Wars Jawa Lookalikes whomp your ears with a full throttle sound and a hell of a show. This tandem's gimmicky style consists of laying down a thick layer of smoke over the audience and blasting them with laser eyes. This dubsteppy duo hails from Columbus, OH and is sure to show a good time. They have demonstrated a large following in the central Ohio area and seem like their heading in the right direction.

----Jogger----
A lot of really cool psyche-rock is coming out of LA right now, really innovative, soul penetrating stuff. Jogger are a live electronic act composed of Jonathan Larroquette and Amir Yaghmai combining psyche-folk leanings similar Animal Collective and Ratatat with the sort of beat science trimmings more associated with the many faces of Daedelus. This Great Pressure is their debut full length release on the new Alpha Pup Records imprint, Magical Properties, and clearly demonstrates a distinct sound and a band ready to embrace the world with their fantastic sound. Jogger’s aesthetic centres around a few well chosen sonic themes, from afrobeat to the electronic rhythmic from techno crescendos and perfectly timed drops to glitched bit-tastic hiphop. What really stands out are their ethereal vocal harmonies that seem to transcend popular music, giving the project a very indie-friendly edge. Check out their music video for their single "Nephicide" below and also check out a live video of them performing "Gorilla Meat" at the LA based public radio station, KCRW.

BULLW∆CK
So BULLWACK has been popping up all over the place on blogs in a few different countries so I thought my people should know. So i'm trolling the internetz, trying to find things, anything at all, and nothing is coming up. What gives!? So until It (BULLWACK, which I will assume is a dude) releases some more info, i'm forced to rehash all the confusion surrounding these Electro/ Grime/ Dubstep sounds.
Very little is known about Bullwack beyond him starting to produce electronic music in 2010. His bio on the Onion Records web page says this:
His first remix won a contest held by SSS records and went on to be released alongside remixes by The Boomzers, F.O.O.L and The Toxic avenger. Since then Bullwack has produced remixes for Controls, Comic Strips, L.A.S.E.R. Voltronixx, Sirian Bank, M.O.G. King Minos, The Boomzers and Midibyte.
Check BULLWACK out on Myspace or on the more preferred soundcloud page where you can listen to the new EP Knave
BULLW∆CK- "Vanguard"

Bonus: The Portland Cello Project's orchestral, double-drummer, instrumental cover of Kanye West's ingenious "All of the Lights" from a sold out show December 17, 2010 at Portland, Oregon's Crystal Ballroom. Simply a fantastic cover. Follow them on Twitter @pdxCelloProject.

My Name is Skrillex
It is early in 2011 but I may just have seen my favorite concert of the year. Skrillex live at the Mid! A venue that just opened in Chicago, IL about 5 block west of the loop. A 2 floor intimate setting with a large capacity that allowed for the bass cannons to fire. By bass cannon I mean the biggest smoke machine I have ever seen. Centered on the crowd was fogger that smothered the audience with every burst, this permitted Skrillex to do his worst.
