Bacardi presents B-Live @ House of Blues

Bacardi is taking their B-Live show to Boston June 18th and has quite an exciting line-up to go with it. The House of Blues will be hosting the party with Switch and Diplo throwing it down as Major Lazer, along with Kanye West's fast-handed Canadian tour DJ A-Trak, Steve Porter and NYC's popular synthienuts Matt & Kim. I've been to a couple of Bacardi sponsored parties myself and they were all pretty wild. On top of that, $10 for four acts is quite a bargain.
Get your tix here.

MAD DECENT IS MAD FUNNY

Diplo, the outlandish DJ from the Iladelph, has been very busy over the past few years, working with DJ Low Budget, M.I.A., Santo-now-Santi-gold, Spank Rock, Amanda Blank, Andrew Levins, Nina Agzarian, Justice, Switch, and hundreds of other musicians from all over the world. So busy and important that now he's got people making iPhone Apps for him!

Watch Diplo himself give the demo for Mad Decent's first iPhone App:

BURAKA SOM SISTEMA ON TOUR!!!

Long awaited State-side arrival of Buraka Som Sistema. Portuguese-Angolan kuduro group that incorporates polyrhythms (can anyone say syncopation?) and traditional West African sounds/timbres to create some tunes that will make you move. Plus, the Portuguese vocals they often include are the definition of phonetic sex. Initially emerged out of the Lisbon club scene, they caught the eye(s) of Mad Decent Monarch, Diplo (we should all be so lucky). They've been found remixed, remixing, producing, DJing and collaborating ever since.
Check out a couple of my faves.
