Avicii Says he hasn't sold out in interview here:

In the interview, Avicii says he hasn't sold out.  Take a listen and see what he has to say.

He definitely has stuck to producing the same sound but EDMBostons asks why??  Armin van Buuren always says "don't be a prisoner of your own style" and we can't help but think Avicii is the definitive artist thats stuck. At this point it will be very challenging from him to switch out of his pop progressive sound and have a long term career.  Ash has set him up to follow the same trajectory of the hip-hop stars of yesteryear and its pretty sad.

Avicii is a talented producer and you have to give him credit for levels no matter how sick of it (and we're sick of it) you are.  But where is he going with it all besides commercial success?

Article Written by Becky Radolf of Womplife for Womplife

(Womplife)  "I’ll be the first to admit it: I still like Skrillex. In fact, I don’t really know when the point came when it suddenly wasn’t cool to like Skrillex anymore. It feels like a few months ago, back when he had remixed “Levels” in a non-shitty way (probably the first to do so), he was still at the pinnacle of his awesomeness. And then suddenly…he just tanked in popularity. Admittedly, this was a gradual decline for many long-time EDM fans. Now, if someone asks you what EDM artists you like, and you throw Skrillex into that mix, the other person will silently judge you, thinking, "Oh, Christ. They like Skrillex. They have no idea what they’re talking about.”

Yet, his music hasn’t really changed all that much, and he’s still the same person he was a few months ago. He’s still the shy, humble little man with the weirdo hairdo (now a trend-setter). He still cranks out the same distinctly Skrillexy music and he still clearly loves what he does. So why are we hating on him so much?

I think the problem arises when we look at

Steve Angello Mixing Showcase at Ministry of Sound

The video above has surfaced from a recent steve angello mixing gig at Ministry of Sound.  Pretty unbelievable to watch the man work a bunch of samples into a track and keep the crowd interested.  Not to mention steve does it all with no headphones.

The question is:

Ocean club can you provide the right amount of equipment to let the man do his job?

(rollingstone) Deadmau5, Rolling Stone's current cover star, is an icon to the EDM set, with his propulsive productions and visually aggressive live shows leading the stateside dance revival. Of course, he also has a trademark look: his signature mouse helmet (the "Mau5head"), worn to all his shows and public appearances, is the most famous electronic prop since Daft Punk's Tony Gardner-designed L.E.D. Tron suits, which clearly inspired his transhumanist gear.

Now Deadmau5's notorious twist on the Disney staple has inspired a clothing collection. Rolling Stone can reveal exclusively that Neff Headwear, the activewear brand that has outfitted the DJ for two years, is partnering with the electronic superstar to release "Neffmau5," a collection of vibrant, co-branded shirts, hoodies and, yes, hats.

The eight-piece collection (four tees, one crewneck, one hoodie and two snapbacks) naturally center around the "Mau5head,"  resulting in a hybrid logo that plants mouse ears on Neff's "suckerface" image. Expect to see them pop up at raves near you this summer.

"It was easy to put ears on the Neff face for an instantly legit logo, right?" Deadmau5 tells Rolling Stone. "I love the street and snowboard scene. The people involved are the people I see at my shows, so it made sense to hook up with a cool company like Neff to work on a collaboration." Shaun Neff, the brand’s founder and CEO, calls the partnership "super exciting."

The Neffmau5 collection will launch nationally on July 15th and will be available online and at a range of retailers.
