"Hate those smart-asses who think DJing is an easy way to get laid"

Never thought I'd post a song by Bryan Adams, but I'm pretty sure even if he heard this track he wouldn't recognise it. Sometimes a song comes along that actually has some personal connection to you. This would be it for me. 
Bryan Adams - Run To You 2008 (Meave de Tria's Unreleased Re-Edit)

Every word in this song hits home, and its a shame its an unreleased edit and was almost unheard. ENJOY, and let me know what you think.

"DJs are the new rockstars."

When writing on Swedish House Mafia, Rolling Stone magazine could not have put it any better. The days when fans used to go watch live performances simply to sing along are dwindling; instead fans want to go to dance and party along. DJs really are the new rockstars, and Swedish House Mafia are at the top of that list. 
Got a few tracks for you today, starting with SHM, but go to the rest of the post for the others!:
Swedish House Mafia - Tomorrowland 2010 (Live) - Sweet Disposition/One More Time/ONE



Afrojack - Amanda (Original Mix)



The Black Eyed Peas - Imma Be (Wolfgang Gartner Remix)



Monarchy - Love Get Out of My Way (Benny Benassi Remix)



Swedish House Mafia v Marvin Gaye - I Heard It Through ONE (Kevin Le Fonque Mash-up) CRAZY mashup



Wynter Gordon - Dirty Talk (Laidback Luke Remix)



Will Smith - Miami (Laidback Luke Bootleg)



Robyn - Indestructible (Laidback Luke Club Mix)

Lets Talk About Sound.

Everyone who has any interest in music must realise that the music industry at this point in time is seriously flawed. I set up this blog largely to post music that I like, and that I think other people might like, but because I have the ability to, I think I might as well go on and talk about what interests me from time to time as well. I am hugely interested in house music, and as soon as I have some time I intend to post a few of my own mixes, but at a general and non-personal level, I think its fascinating. In my very first post I mentioned how I feared that that over-commercialisation was going to ruin music. I still hold by that.


One of the main reasons todays music industry is so flawed is the lack of attention being paid to the development of art. The reason there are so many one-hit wonders out there is because it seems as soon as an artist get together a couple of singles that will sell, out they go into the market, and their follow-up is horrendous. I was at PigeonsAndPlanes.com the other day, which deals mainly with alternative and hip-hop styles, and spotted this video,

What Owen Husney is saying is that you've got to build a fanbase because the record labels aren't interested in developing you as an artist, at least unless it'll guarantee huge financial gain. I definitely agree but I feel Owen is only scratching the surface here. Ill look into the artists themselves in a minute but I think that the procedures that the record labels themselves operate are flawed.
