Afrojack Take Over Control feat. Eva Simons
Read more . . . →The first video shows a quick video of Eva Simon and Afrojack in the studio. It's a little bit like an interview, but mostly just shots of Afrojack in the studio and playing live, along with some interview cut-ins. It looks like Eva Simons has the next craziest hair in dance music since La Roux. Sorry America, but the Dutch sound is taking over. This second video is HOT! This is the latest single from Afrojack. Clearly this man is the future of house music for the next little bit. The vocal is so catchy, I really hope this keeps...

Sebastien Leger does it again with Plik Plok
Read more . . . →Image by Romain Heuillard via Flickr I have been a fan of Sebastien Leger for a while now. I first wrote about his remix of Manson, The People last September.

I really love the minimal feel of this. It still has very prominent sonic elements; this song fills your speakers out! What's great about this song is its very DJ friendly. If you love electronic music this is...

Linked and Unlinked Region Loops in Ableton Live
Read more . . . →By Alex Massaad Hey there, I have to be brief because I'm just leaving the studio to do yoga (down the hall ;) but I wanted to share an awesome Ableton Live feature that I've been using almost every time I work on a Live project now. This my friends is a quick tutorial on linked and unlinked region loops within Ableton Live.
