  • Showtek Lets Loose on Both Coasts

      A Miami Q&A with the Emerging DJ Duo With fans like Tiësto, Skrillex and David Guetta, the Dutch brother duo is ready to blow. “We have the melodies to make the girls love it and we have the drops to make the guys love it,” says Sjoerd Janssen, one-half of the Dutch DJ twosome Showtek. “You need both. It’s really important.” Showtek showed off its dual-target chops on its recent seven-week headlining tour of North America, drawing mixed crowds to enjoy the brother duo’s hits like “Cannonball,” and their collaboration with Hardwell, “How We Do.” They haven’t taken a break from touring since before Ultra Music Festival and played a whopping 22 shows in March, with a focus on building their fanbase bicoastally in the U.S. “The last couple of years the West Coast has been really great for us, and we needed to build our name up on the East Coast,” said Janssen. “It was ...

  • T-Ara N4, Basement Jaxx, 4Minute

      Producers Duble Sidekick pinged my radar when they produced Two X’s fantastically melodious debut single “Double Up”. Since then they’ve worked their way into notable ranks, winning the Melon Music “Songwriter Award,” ahead of guys I’ve written effusively about. These guys seem to hit a sweet spot in pop terms, producing both hard, energetic ballads and softer, more harmonious dance songs to equal degree.  But they haven’t had a huge hit since Sistar’s “Loving U,” and that probably has to do more with the faces on the product than the music.   Cut to 2013 and here they are producing the first real, non-Shinsadong Tiger single that T-Ara has ever marketed. And, yes, it’s a subunit song. But it’s arguably the A-Team of T-ara, with Eunjung, Hyomin and Jiyeon (and Areum) all participating. And sometimes A-Team work can really excel, as seen with After School Red.   ...

  • Twitter #music iPhone app falls down the App Store charts, dropping to 126th overall

      Less than two weeks after launch, the new Twitter #music iPhone app has fallen into a downward slide on the US App Store charts, dropping to 126th overall and 11th in the Music category.   The app debuted at number one in the music category and fifth overall on April 18th. It managed to hold fairly steady for about a week before starting to plunge. On Monday, it fell out of the top ten in music and dropped to 124th overall, as pointed out by Digital Music News. Spotify’s iPhone app was temporarily displaced as the top music app, last week, but it has since climbed back up to number one.   Twitter #music still has a chance at regaining popularity, but its downward curve is starting to look a lot like that of Facebook Poke, which was released in December and faded away like the ephemeral photos it’s meant to broadcast. After 12 days on the App Store, Facebook Poke ...

  • DJ Ferry Corsten and Deezer’s MD reveal why the ‘human touch’ is vital for online music distribution

      The evolution of the Internet has changed not just the way in which people listen to music, but also how musicians and artists should communicate with their most loyal fans.   Album sales continue to flatline, but music streaming services such as Spotify, Rdio and Deezer have shown that there’s still a huge market for offering a viable alternative to illegal downloads.   Fabrizio Gentile, managing director of Deezer in the Benelux region and Dutch music producer and DJ Ferry Corsten took part in a panel at The Next Web Conference in Amsterdam to talk about curation, global reach and the advantages of using social media.   “We have about 200 employees, around half of which are developers and one-quarter are editorial managers,” Gentile said.   “That might sounds like a weird name, but actually whenever you go on Deezer – whether it’s on your mobile or o ...

  • Live Nation Buys Half of Insomniac?!?! WTF?!?!

      Live Nation has acquired 50% (not yet official, just reported) of Insomniac Events, giving a large stake in one of the biggest promoters in electronic music. Over the past few months a bidding war had ensued between Live Nation, SFX Entertainment and a handful of other contenders. It appears Live Nation has come out on top and is on the verge of closing a deal that is sure to shape dance music in America for quite some time. Sources close to the matter have reported that Live Nation will be getting a majority of Insomniac Events for a cool $50 million.   As of right now it seems that there will be no restructuring at Insomniac but it is clear that Pasquale could use the money. Also, with Live Nation already owning Hard Events, this explains the cross-promotion of the Hard stage at EDC Vegas. This type of cross-promotion may be something we see more as a clear duopoly ...
