Update: 1/28/10 4:oopm PST - Word is this is a fake. You can’t say I didn’t write about my suspicions, nothing has been confirmed either way, you can’t blame people for jumping on it - email came straight from promo@edbangerrecords.com and the supplied graphic was sharp!

I was just asking myself when I’d hear some new original tunes from the french duo who catapulted ahead of the late 00’s electro-dance scene. Well I just got an eery one-line email from Ed Banger:

“Feel free to share it or talk about it”

One sentence of curt self-confidence that only a conquering French record label can summon! Of course they know we’re going to do both… Beginning of the End has that signature creepy yet melodramatic crunch to it. Sounds like the start to a pretty epic follow-up. If your looking for a new revolutionary sound, your not going to get it here. However there were enough good tunes and visuals off that first record, that I don’t mind listening to a bit more of it.

Ever since Terry brought up this idea I’ve been feigning for a listen. This track will kill a dance floor, but I want more Bowie! I’ll reserve judgment until the full project drops Friday.

With the success of  ”Viva La Hova” and “Southerngold”… Terry Urban leaks the first single off  his new remix album “Lady Stardust” which mashes up pop sensations Lady Gaga and David Bowie. Terry felt a remix project like this needed to be done with such similarities between the two pop icons. The album will be released for free download Friday, November 20th.

Mick Boogie & Terry Urban came to rock U.C. Riverside a few weeks back. Pheo & I showed the fellas around the Inland and helped rock the party. The buffoonery was documented below:

There hasn’t been too much dance material on the site lately. Mostly because I’m the only one that writes on it, and I kind of fell off the bandwagon for a while exploring other things. However you may remember DJ Neoteric  from the DJ Benzi Motivation 2 (Sendspace, 106mb) mixtape, he’s going on tour down under and dropped this dance/electro mix to hold you over when your craving some more bpm’s in your life.

Also scooped up on a track by his project Smoke & Mirrors, attached down below.

Last but not least, my homie Basic Blink hit me with a beautiful dance remix of Lucy Pearl’s “Dance Tonite” off his upcoming collaborative project called X:\ run Booty Bounce dropping here on EOLA late July. Attached below.

DJ Gabe Real rocks our weekly Friday night jam here in Riverside, CA… and for good reason. Being one of the most experienced DJ’s the Southland has to offer, he struts his versatility with his newest mix, A Hot Mess. An ecletic mix of Reggae, Breaks, Electro & Rock, that’ll keep you moving! Don’t sleep on Gabe’s production, remixes throughout it, not to mention the very talented & bueatiful Jefferson Dejesus laying down vocals on many of those tracks. 

Gabe is keeping busy, if your lucky enough to be camping at Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival this weekend catch his set Thursday night in the Dome, along side Flying Lotus, Daedelus, Busy P & more. Keep an eye and ear open for Jefferson Dejesus who is working alongside Gabe on various projects. The two drop a very exclusive bonus mp3, a cover of “Michelle” by the Beatles (originally Paul McCartney on the lead vocals) in advance to the Southland’s pilgrimage to the desert this weekend.

I don’t think any of us at East of L.A. have posted about FlyLo, so here it goes.

Flying Lotus will be listed as one of my favorite active producers. Whether it be his beats, remixes, or whatever, I am absolutely obsessed with this dude. And just recently, FlyLo released his second issue of his “LA EP” series and I am here just making sure you folks get your hands on some good music. In this issue, the likes of Ras G, Nosaj Thing, Samiyam and Mike Slott remix a few FlyLo tracks, and I certainly recommend that you guys purchase this EP.

Buy it here.

Our boy DJ Morsy (of Nanachill) always brings the fire. He mutated my favorite favorite Dre & Eminem collab into a dancefloor banger! (and I say ‘mutate’ in a cool Ninja Turtles way, and not in a mutating virus kinda way…. órale!)

Expect this alongside a slew of beastly tracks on his next cd dropping this Thanksgiving called, “Don’t Hate The 808″

With a little less than half of a year to go until the actual festival, concert promoter powerhouse Goldenvoice has updated the official Coachella website with the dates for the  10th anniversary of the festival.

Here’s the official teaser poster:

An important difference to note for this year’s event is its move to a weekend earlier. Plan accordingly and get those plane tickets in advance!

The first Motivation mixtape by DJ Benzi dropped earlier this year, and it didn’t leave my CD player for about a month! I had very high expectations for the sequel, and it’s lived up to it, but it didn’t get me ranting about it like the last one. Nevertheless this mix is freaking crazy hot, precise seamless mixes, and the best fusion of dance, hip hop & mash up you could hope for. Mixing 55 tracks in roughly an hour and twenty minutes plus collabing with Lil’ Jon, Mick Boogie, & Neoteric make this one of the best dance downloads of 2008.

Also throwing in a dope new track produced by DJ Benzi & Diplo featuring Blaqstarr called “Stuntastic” soon to be released via iTunes (Sept 16th) on DJ Benzi’s & Diplo’s “Paper Route Recordz Mixtape.”

Las Vegas seems to have caught on to the dance/electro/rave craze as the Dutch entertainment company “Art of Dance” announces the first annual Fabulous Festival in the original city of sin.

The festival is to be held on Saturday, November 1 from 10pm-7am at the Orleans Arena and features some very notable names in its otherwise slightly lackluster line-up. The festival is set to take place across two separate venues; the first being the main, indoor arena stage cleverly titled ‘Night Lights‘ (how utterly clever) and an outdoor stage by the nomer ‘Blown Speakers‘ (let’s hope the stage title doesn’t jinx their sound set-up).

ART OF DANCE presents the first event in Las Vegas’ entertainment history to merge the world renowned concepts of both “Music Festival” and “Nightlife”, offering a multistage production which embraces all ‘Dance Music’ cultures. Conceptualized and annually held in the nightlife epicenter of the world -Amsterdam (Holland)- by the globally renowned “Art of Dance” company, FABULOUS now exports and introduces the “European” Festival Experience to the USA — complete with State of the Art Video and Audio displays, extravagant aesthetic allure, high energy entertainment and both indoor and outdoor stages dedicated to presenting the worlds greatest and most sought after Electronic dance music acts. This extravagant production will be held on November 1st, 2008 at the ‘Orleans Arena Complex’, where it boasts a 13,000 person capacity and will run from the hours of 10^pm — 7^am. It is with great pride to introduce the FABULOUS experience to the Western World.

The line-up is as follows:

Night Lights:
- Armin Van Buuren
- Bad Boy Bill
- DeadMau5
- Robbie Rivera
- Cube Guys
Plus More

Blown Speakers:
- MSTRKRFT
- Ed Banger Party featuring Busy P, Sebastian, DJ Mehdi, So Me, Mr Flash
- Crystal Castles
- Felix Cartal
- HEARTSREVOLUTION

As frustrating the “scene” can get, it still produces some cool shit. Check out Vavan & Treaxy from France doing some “Tecktonik Dancing” (or “Hard Dancing”). Its a whole lot cooler than that hipster 2 steps that rages across dance floors today, and seems like its a lot more fun. They got about a half dozen videos up on youtube. I haven’t seen this around L.A. and am curious on how popular it is in Europe. (Cause it could be 2 crazy Euro Guys that are Youtube Savvy, but then again it does have 5.6 million views).

If your curious about the track, its a remix of Yelle’s ”A Cause Des Garcons” by Tepr. Tepr (Also from France) has some hot ass remixes which are being included below as well. He also plays the Synth in Yelle’s live band…

Shouts to Mario for heads up on this…
