For Matthew Koma, collaborations carry him to top

(USATODAY) Long Island-bred singer/songwriter Matthew Koma, who performed at USA TODAY's 30th anniversary party Thursday night, got his first publishing deal at 16. At 25, he's collaborating with leading pop and electronic dance music artists: Ryan Tedder and Sebastian Ingrosso (of Swedish House Mafia) on the Beatport chart-topping hit Calling(Lose My Mind); Zedd on Spectrum; and LMFAO's Redfoo and Carly Rae Jepsen on her new single, This Kiss. He'll promote his own EP, Parachute, on tour with Owl City this fall, after earlier gigs with LMFAO and Far East Movement.

Chip off the old rock: Growing up, Koma idolized Elvis Costello but had another role model closer to home: dad Gerald Bair, a singer/songwriter. "Music was always a huge part of our lives. The first time I got onstage, it was with him, at the Red Lion" in New York's West Village. "I was 4. I wore ripped jeans and a dungaree jacket. I was going through my Soul Asylum phase."

Learning on the job:"I'll work with...

Bassnectar has Untouched Stash of Beats for Upcoming tour

In an interview Bassnectar did for a Greensboro North Carolina publication he reveled some exciting new details about his upcoming tour!  Read below to see what he had to say

(yes weekly)"Whatever clout conventional rock stars once possessed now belongs to the top tier of electronic dance music producers, so a recent spate of critical wisdom goes. In that case, might be fair to say that Lorin Ashton, the tressed beat merchant behind the Bassnectar moniker, is closer in his genealogy to the jazz titans of the ’50s and ’60s. There’s no Point A to Point B with his music as there is within the established rock context; it’s Point E to B with a stop at Roman numeral. A devoted bass head could experience an entire live show and pick out only a handful or recognizable tracks out of the dozens he weaves throughout hours of music. That wouldn’t necessarily be for a lack of listening, either, because Ashton’s sets are an exercise in controlled anarchy; a reckless dance party fueled by bass and piloted by a man whose most trustworthy instruments are his eyes and ears. He’s kicking off a new tour in Greensboro next week with a fresh batch of home-cooked beats to share that abide by a single rule: There are no rules.

Disney Animates Skrillex

Post & Photo taken from Mixmag

Disney aren't strangers to grabbing hot DJ talent to cameo in their movies off the back of the soundtrack. Back in 2011 they got Daft Punk. Now it seems Skrillex is stepping into Disney-land.

A couple of months ago Mixmag reported that Skrillex would score some of the soundtrack to Disney's upcoming animated feature Wreck It Ralph.

After Total Film magazine watched 30 minutes of the new film, it has emerged that Skrillex is not only providing the music but also lending his vocal talents and likeness to star in a cameo role.

Clark Spencer, the film's producer, spoke about how Skrillex went from EDM superstar to Disney cartoon. "We went to him first and said, 'Hey, we have this party scene in the world of Fix It Felix Jr, and we have a DJ and we think it would make a nice cameo if we put you into it.' And he was ecstatic," he said.

"We built his model, we put on his look, and we sent it to him to have him give us comments. And he said he would never wear non-black tennis shoes. He said 'My tennis shoes will always be black'. So we changed the tennis shoes to black.

"You don't see them in the film, as he's behind the DJ booth, but they were in the model. He has seen the animation, and he's very, very excited about it."

Unfortunately Wreck It Ralph doesn't hit UK screens until February 2013 so until then have a gander at the trailer below.
