Milpitas, Calif. – May 20, 2013 - NuForce Inc., a leader in professional and consumer audio gear, announces the release of its Mobile Music Pump (MMP), a portable headphone amplifier designed to enhance the sound quality of your MP3 files and make music truly come alive whenever and wherever.  The fact is that the majority of hand-held audio playback devices simply aren’t capable of adequately powering many of today’s quality headphones, and that’s why NuForce has created the MMP for music enthusiasts that demand audio clarity and quality.

Given the diversity in the headphone market, handheld portable audio devices are not built to power any specific type of headphone.  This poses a challenge when a user wants to listen to music with either over-the-ear headphones or earbuds.  Typically, over-ear headphones exhibit lower sensitivities than in-ear headphones (about a difference of 10dB) and require ten times more power to achieve the same volume as in ears… power that your device simply doesn’t have.

Spending money on a great pair of headphones is wasted when your device can’t adequately power them, so that’s where the NuForce MMP steps in.  Simply plug your headphones into the MMP and then the MMP to your audio device and instantly hear the difference.  With the MMP, users of over-ear and in-ear headphones will notice and really appreciate the difference in sound.

Product Features

• Input – (1) 3.5mm analog
• Output – (2) 3.5mm analog
• Adjustable Gain Button – 3X or 5X Gain (default setting = 3X)
• Micro USB port for charging

Pricing and Availability

The NuForce Mobile Music Pump is available worldwide for a suggested retail price of US $59.

About NuForce

Based in Milpitas, California, NuForce first gained acclaim for its patented audiophile-grade Class-D power amplifiers, earning numerous awards from audio publications in the U.S. and Japan. Building upon its reputation as a company that develops state-of-the-art audio products, NuForce has worked diligently to expand its product line with digital-to-analog converters, in-ear and over-the-ear headphones, speakers and subwoofers, cables, additional home and headphone amplifiers, and other quality audio accessories. In every product and in every way, the NuForce brand offers superior engineering in designs of simple elegance. Sold internationally,NuForce remains firmly committed to value and integrity in the production of high-performance consumer electronics adhering to stringent quality standards.

Las Vegas – May 20, 2013 – SuperTooth, Bluetooth expert and world’s leading in-car speakerphone brand, will launch its new NFC-enabled, Bluetooth over-the-ear headphones – FREEDOM – and showcase its industry-leading line of Bluetooth accessories at Booth # 1070 at CTIA.

“SuperTooth has always taken the lead to identify emerging trends,” said Yves Le Reun, Vice President of Sales & Marketing. “With the rising sales of portable devices, more and more people are carrying music and videos everywhere they go. The new FREEDOM headset delivers the audio power, reliability, long-lasting battery life and compact design users are seeking, and the best part – there are no wires and the controls are located directly on the headphones so you don’t need to take the phone out of your pocket if you want to skip to the next track.”

The FREEDOM stereo headphones are compatible with all Bluetooth A2DP-enabled devices and support NFC. This new technology offers an easy pairing experience, allowing users to simply touch the FREEDOM against their NFC-enabled phone in order for the devices to recognize each other. They feature a wide headband and big, comfortable cushions for added comfort. The 40-mm drivers stream powerful sound and they support aptX to maintain the high fidelity of music files when streamed wirelessly. Boasting up to 15 hours of battery life, users can listen to music for several days per 3 hour charge. The FREEDOM also supports AVRCP so users can control the play/pause/volume up/down/next/previous track functions directly from the headphones. Once connected with a phone, users can answer incoming calls on the headphones using them as a hands-free kit. Equipped with a jack 3.5 cable, the FREEDOM will be available in white, black and blue for $149 on SuperTooth.net beginning this summer.

Also on display at the booth will be the SuperTooth collection of Bluetooth speakers (DISCO TWIN and DISCO) and speakerphones (HD-VOICE, CRYSTAL and HD).

The DISCO TWIN, priced at $199 for a set of two, is a pair of portable, rechargeable speakers featuring true right / left stereo, each unit equipped with 16 watts RMS audio power, double speakers in front and a high efficiency bass reflex system in back, pairing together for a combined 32 watts of pure sound. Music can be streamed wirelessly from any Bluetooth-enabled device to the DISCO TWIN; users simply pair their Bluetooth device to both speakers, and Bluetooth stereo technology will channel audio to each. The integrated rechargeable batteries ensure 3-4 hours of non-stop, maximum-volume music or up to 10 hours of moderately played tunes. Watch the DISCO TWIN video here.

HD-VOICE, $89, is a Bluetooth hands-free car kit with instant installation – just clip it to the sun visor in the car, pair it with any Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone and begin making hands-free calls in any type of vehicle. The novelty of the HD-VOICE is its ability to verbalize pairing instructions and announce callers in 12 languages, as well as its robust audio power – two speakers and two microphones for outstanding sound quality, both in emission and reception. For incoming calls, the HD-VOICE announces the name of the caller and users say ‘OK’ to pick up the call. The HD-VOICE also speaks aloud the battery level, connection status and GPS instructions in 12 languages.

Visit the SuperTooth booth at Booth # 1070 at the Sands Expo & Convention Center Las Vegas.

This announcement comes after Guetta recently won a VEVO certified award for reaching over 100 million views on 6 of his videos, with over 1 billion views of his videos in total on VEVO, making him the first DJ to be VEVO Certified.

To celebrate this milestone and show his gratitude to each of his 40 millions fans that have shown their support for him, David Guetta is giving away a free download of R3hab’s remix of ‘Play Hard’. Dutch DJ and producer R3hab has quickly asserted himself as one of the most exciting talents in dance music and his remix has quickly proved a fan favourite, racking up over 150k plays on soundcloud within a week of a short preview going live.

Sik video from Skrilly and A$AP! Dubstep and Hiphop mashup style! Shit is workin’

Since 2010, our warm-up event to Melt! has turned into the ultimate place to be for festivalgoers who are eager to take over the campsites on Thursday already. In 2013, Crystal Fighters, Kid Simius (live), PTTRNS, Pool and Glass Animals will kick off three days of festival madness.

Crystal Fighters already lured in the crowd at Melt! 2011 with hits like „Xtatic Truth“, their mixture of acoustic and electronic elements, techno-laden bass drums, Spanish folk instruments and 80s synth. The band’s sophomore album, Cave Rave, is due this year.

Kid Simius first left an impression in Germany as part of the Marsimoto crew. As a solo act, however, he’s got lots to offer as well. On his EPs,Who The Fuck Is Kid Simius and El Classico, he skilfully mixed dubstep and bass with live music elements.

After having performed at Intro Zelt once before as the winners of the Intro band contest in 2010,PTTRNS are back on stage in Ferropolis with their sophomore album, Body Pressure.

Pool became known to a wider audience sharing the stage with Digitalism and getting remixed by Aeroplane and other high-calibre acts. Tracks like „Don’t Call My Name“, released on their debut EP, Game Over, appeal to indie connoisseur with playful guitars and bass driven beats.

Atmospheric soundscapes reminiscent of The xx and Wild Beasts are Glass Animals forte. After their debut EP, the band’s first full-length album will be released in 2013.

The 2013 pre-party takes place at the Intro Zelt stage on Thursday, 18^th July. Tickets are available for EUR 5 (plus booking fee) via  www.meltfestival.de/tickets. Further acts will be announced soon.

The legendary Canadian group Godspeed You! Black Emperor is the latest addition to this year’s festival lineup. But that’s not all we have in store for you: get ready to hear Skalpel cut up some beats, a performance by the possessed Swedes in Goat, and a noisy recital by New York’s Girls Against Boys.The legendary Canadian group Godspeed You! Black Emperor is the latest addition to this year’s festival lineup amongst others.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Godspeed You! Black Emperor is one of the most important guitar-based groups of the past two decades, and yet we know so little about them. Founded in 1994, this nonet (yes, there are nine musicians in the band) surfaces and disappears as they please without a word of explanation. Even in the world of alternative music, this Montreal act really sticks to the sidelines. After a prolonged hiatus, they returned two years ago to curate All Tomorrow’s Parties and surprised everyone in 2012 with a new and excellent album, Allelujah! Don’t Bend! Ascend!. This post rock collective’s live shows are an amazing experience: the anti-rock stars stick to the shadows while suggestive visuals flicker above them in perfect harmony with the mystical sounds. One thing we can promise is that this Canadian band’s set will be a life-changing event.

Skalpel
Igor Pud?o and Marcin Cichy, a producer and DJ duo from Wroc?aw, publish their records through the legendary Ninja Tune label, proving that being a Polish artist doesn’t mean you can’t be international, and that you can make modern electronic music out of stylish, old-school Polish jazz. They both manage quite well on their own, but we’re glad to see them back together and playing at the OFF Festival. Apparently the feeling is mutual, and they’re said to be preparing an exceptional audiovisual performance. “We and our fans all have very fond memories of our first OFF Festival show in Mys?owice, and we’re glad that our comeback as a duo is going to happen at this festival. The concert’s going to be a review of our work. We’ll be playing material off of both albums, some of the music from Sacrum Profanum, as well as some new compositions,” the artists wrote in a press release.

Girls Against Boys
Veterans of the US noise rock scene with roots in the DC hardcore world (they even shared a drummer with Fugazi at one point), Girls Against Boys are now based in New York. There’s less of that hardcore drive in their music and more space and power, all generated by two blaring bass guitars. They haven’t recorded an album in quite a while – You Can’t Fight What You Can’t See came out over a decade ago – and they don’t play live much either, so that’s all the more reason to take advantage of this chance to see a legend in action.

Goat
Goat are a group of masked Swedes from a village north of the Arctic Circle, authors of the record World Music, which came out of nowhere to make an unexpected appearance on many of 2012’s year-end best album lists. The LP feature a seeming chaotic – but ultimately original and well though out – combination of kraut rock, afrobeat, and electronically-infused psychedelics taken right out of the golden age of rave. One journalist from the British site The Quietus, on the other hand, simply describes Goat as “Voodoo magic. Fucking voodoo magic.” And he might be right: don’t get anywhere near their OFF Festival performance without an exorcist.

Mykki Blanco
Her real name is Michael David Quattlebaum Jr.; Mykki Blanco is his female alter-ego and stage name. Mykki Blanco is a leading representative of New York’s queer-rap scene, a phenomenon that is as new as it is extraordinary in the macho world of hip-hop. But gender issues are one thing, and music is another: this American is truly excellent. Her mixtape Cosmic Angel: Illuminati Prince/ss is the perfect soundtrack to a crazy night out on the town and has garnered rave reviews from critics who see in her the next A$AP Rocky and Das Racist.

The Haxan Cloak
Graveyard dirges and church choirs, just the thing for fans of horror flicks: The Haxan Cloak is Britain’s hope for dark ambient and thereabouts. 26 year old Londoner Bobby Krlic has a few self-released EPs to his name, along with a debut album for Aurora Borealis and last year’s single-track album titled …The Men Parted the Sea to Devour the Water. A true feast for any masochist who’s into Shackleton, Lustmord, or Demdike Stare.

Line Up so far
AlunaGeorge, Bisz/B.O.K Band, Blondes, Deerhunter, Girls Against Boys, Goat, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Jens Lekman, Laurel Halo, Merchandise, Metz, Mykki Blanco
My Bloody Valentine, Skalpel, Super Girl & Romantic Boys, The Haxan Cloak, The Pop Group, The Walkmen, Thee Oh Sees, Tres B with many more to be announced…

The Garden Festival and Electric Elephant in Croatia will join forces once again this year for ‘The Double Whammy’ - a full 14 days and nights of sun-kissed festival fun in the stunning and idyllic coastal environment of Tisno.

Taking place from 3 – 17 July, the celebrations with begin with performances from world-class acts including Soul Clap, Eats Everything, Theo Parrish, Bicep, Tim Sweeney, Luke Vibert and Maurice Fulton at The Garden Festival, followed by yet more of the most respected names in electronic music, including Carl Craig, Frankie Knuckles, Danny Krivit, Prosumer, Ewan Pearson, Michael Mayer & Tobias Thomas at Electric Elephant.

This year, The Garden Festival’s Argonaughty Boat Parties have sold out in record time, but all is not lost as we can now reveal a special new boat party on Wednesday 10th July with Berlin’s Wilde Renate crew. Plus, for the very first time, a secret island daytime party will take place at the festival too! Guests include Permanent Vacation, Joakim, Peak & Swift and Samanta Fox, plus a few surprises too. Check HERE for more info. Tickets will sell super-fast for this special day, so be quick!

On Wednesday 10^th July The Garden Festival will hand over the reigns to Electric Elephant with a true house music icon: Danny Krivit. The Body and Soul master is taking over Barbarellas, bringing over 4 decades of peerless experience to Croatia. We can also reveal that Carl Craig will make his Electric Elephant debut at Barbarellas on Monday 15^th July, closing the festival with a thrilling climax in the breath-taking open air club. The party continues until the 17^th July with beach parties to entertain those on site until midweek after Electric Elephant has finished.

Both festivals take place at The Garden Tisno, set in a gently hilly area which overlooks a beautiful bay below, complete with sandy beach and crystal clear waters, with onsite accommodation available including luxury Shikar tents, new Podpads and apartments. Tisno itself – split between the mainland and the island of Murter, joined by a 20m rising bridge – is just a ten-minute walk away, a charming picture-perfect town with a host of restaurants, cafes, apartments and hotels. It’s situated pretty much right between Zadar and Split airports, with lots of flights from Europe to each, and continues to attract a global crowd of sun-seekers and music lovers to what is widely considered one of Europe’s best boutique festivals, nestled on a tiny stretch of Croatia’s beautiful coastline. Ryanair, easyJet, Wizz Air and Jet2 all fly to Croatia from a variety of UK airports to Croatian cities. Also don’t forget Croatia enters the EU from July 1^st, the start of a new odyssey for both festivals and the country itself, making this an even better opportunity to explore this beautiful country.

The Double Whammy pass with Electric Elephant and The Garden Festival costs €180. Visit www.thegardenfestival.eu to buy tickets.

Mobile Hi-Fi system featuring groundbreaking VERZADOCK brings audiophile fidelity to Android, iOS, Windows, Mac and more

 Milano – March 13, 2013 – V-MODA, designer of the award-winning, crowdsourced Crossfade M-100, announces its latest inventions, VAMP VERZA and Metallo case. Geared for the modern audio connoisseur, VERZA transforms your smartphone into a mobile hi-fi system. Designed in Italy and made in Japan, it builds off of the original VAMP for iPhone 4/4S featuring an integrated 150mW x 2 headphone amplifier, 2 DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converters) and a 2200mAh battery pack. VAMP VERZA also introduces the patent-pending VERZADOCK that seamlessly integrates with popular smartphone and tablets.

VAMP VERZA can be used as a standalone Hi-Fi USB Audio amplifier, or mobile audiophiles can dock it with the machined METALLO case built specifically for the Samsung Galaxy S III. Future cases for the Samsung Galaxy S IV, Note II and iPhone 5 will be available in the upcoming months. Metallo slides and locks onto VERZA’s high-performance audio engine with the VERZADOCK rail mechanism designed for optimal precision and tactility. The case can be used independently with the included back cover for times when portability is more important than function.

“Today’s smartphone offer an array of robust features, but for the ‘prosumer,’ it leaves something to be desired. For example, photography enthusiasts still need a DSLR and several additional lenses. Comparably, for the avid audiophile, VAMP VERZA supplements the poor audio quality produced by smartphones and delivers the purest fidelity imaginable. We shrank the analog-age component spirit into a sleek, spy-like multifunction gadget that is portable enough to use anytime, anywhere,” states Val Kolton, Chief Visionary Officer at V-MODA. “When you combine VAMP VERZA, Metallo, M-100, and the new Samsung Galaxy S III/S IV, Note or iPhone 5, you achieve the ultimate technology trifecta that truly stands apart from the crowd.”

Audiophile Sound & Anti-interference Technology

VAMP VERZA’s audiophile-grade dedicated DACs extracts pure digital output from your computer, Android, or iOS device via USB/micro-USB and converts it into analog form for the purest mobile audio listening experience.  VERZA’s 150mW x 2 amplifier delivers enhanced power for higher end headphones and up to 7 hours of playback.  Low noise anti-interference is provided by Burr Brown, AKM DAC and a 6-layer PCB, features usually found only in hi-end digital players. These features isolate the components so your audio sounds more like the original recording with less resonance, radio interference and background noise. VAMP’s rotary volume knob allows you to finely control your volume and the hi/lo gain switch adjusts the output level.

Additionally, professional musicians can use the VAMP VERZA with their computer or portable device to audition, mix and master projects on the road trusting the sound is consistent from device to device.

USB Battery Charger and Optical Output

The 2200 mAh lithium-ion battery can be used as a backup power source for virtually any USB powered device, and can double most smartphone’s battery life. Another unique feature is an optical audio output that allows you to connect VAMP VERZA to your A/V receiver, DJ mixer or aftermarket car stereo via Toslink or SPDIF optical audio, transforming your device into a Hi-Fi grade audio source.

Metallo Case

The new designer Metallo cases defend your smartphone and are machined and anodized from a single aluminum metal block. Each unit takes nearly an hour to machine the unique V-ANGLE design and finishes. The lightweight Metallo can be used independently of the VAMP VERZA as one of the back plates is designed for ultra-portable use. The second back plate, VERZADOCK, bolts onto the VAMP VERZA’s 4-bolt main so that you can slide and lock the phone onto VAMP VERZA.  The precision is unique and even the sound when switching the plates or docking was tuned to emulate unsheathing a sword.  When docked to VAMP VERZA, it locks safely into place with a sliding lock mechanism. To use your camera, simply pull the case out and up.

Metallo is available for pre-order for the Samsung Galaxy S III and will ship within two weeks.  Metallo for iPhone 5 will be available in limited quantities for crowd-sourced beta testing within two weeks. Metallo will also be made for the Samsung Galaxy S IV, Note II and select devices in the near future.

FIREPOWER RECORDS is notorious for bringing together some of bass music’s most sought-after producers, and 14 releases deep DATSIK continues to keep his catalogue as fresh and on-point as ever. Having worked with artists such as Tyga, Gucci Mane, Travis Porter, Trouble, 12th Planet and Brillz in the past, here Antiserum and Mayhem collide for the next installment on FIREPOWER and release two bass-laden bombs, “Bangladesh” and “Trippy” out today, (March 12). Grab a free download of both tracks via the FIREPOWER SoundCloud here: http://bit.ly/13RQlz7.

Fusing an array of styles, Antiserum and Mayhem conquer untouched ground and unleash their own vibrant take on trap music. Combining its hypnotic sampling with skittering hi-hats and clipped vocals, “Bangladesh” conjures up plenty of heat with its drawn out bass drop and warped synths. Up next, “Trippy” breaks through with its southern swagger and bumping 808 bassline. A cascade of swirling synths soon gives way to bubbling, psychedelic synths to create a powerful, club-ready record with the credentials to match.

Antiserum and Mayhem are pioneering the trap genre, fusing it with elements of dubstep and pushing the envelope as they do things that haven’t been done before. This hasn’t gone unnoticed and they have had support from some of bass music’s most respected tastemakers including Andy C, TeeBee, Dieselboy, Noisia, Black Sun Empire, Skrillex, Diplo, DATSIK and Flux Pavillion. With DATSIK giving them the seal of approval for FIREPOWER you can expect to hear lots more from these innovative producers in 2013.

Antiserum and Mayhem’s “Bangladesh” and “Trippy” is now available on Beatport (http://btprt.dj/Wlqwmy) and iTunes (http://bit.ly/WlqDyp).

Out today, Tuesday, March 12 via Ultra Music, deadmau5 & Imogen Heap’s single “Telemiscommunications” is a delicate melancholic song that is a very different direction for the mau5 which sees him drop the tempo dramatically. It is co-produced with Imogen Heap featuring her signature lyrics and melody and as the closing track on his latest album, > album title goes here <, one voice of a phone conversation between two lovers is heard.  Whether it’s a battle with bad signal, public announcements or kids screaming, the friction develops during their precious little time to talk.

In wanting to extend the creative vision for this release, a global competition was set up to search for budding animators.  20 individuals were selected with each animator taking ownership over their own segment, working in their own style and medium.  These were then edited together to produce a remarkable visual to accompany the song.  deadmau5 and Imogen Heap will be hosting a Google+ Hangout today, March 12 at noon pm EST (11am CST), where they will talk about their collaboration face to face for the first time.  At the end of the broadcast they will premiere the video for “Telemiscommunications” which will be here:  http://smarturl.it/TELEMISVIDEO.

“Telemiscommunications” will feature remixes from Crookers, Copy Paste Soul, John Roman and Kölsch.  Italian artist, Crookers, speed things up, serving up a series of sparse vocal stabs with a side order of tough house beats.  Kompakt artist, Kölsch, also ups the tempo, but his is a much deeper affair that juggles Imogen’s vocals deftly with his hypnotic rhythms. London based producer, Copy Paste Soul, transforms the track into a soul quenching deep house/bass number that should please UK dancefloors. Finally, Canadian upstart, John Roman delivers a stripped back tribal techno version, reducing Imogen’s vocals to a haunting hum on its verses.

Meanwhile, today deadmau5 can be found in Austin, TX at SXSW where he is participating as a panelist with Richie Hawtin for deadmau5 & Richie Hawtin: Talk. Techno. Technology, which sees both artists discuss their careers with a huge focus on innovations in technology and the power of social media.  The pair will follow later tonight with a one time performance together at the Media Temple official SXSWi Closing Party at Stubb’s.  This weekend look for him to return to the main stage of Ultra Music Festival for his first major appearance of 2013 on Saturday, March 16 and again on Saturday, March 23.

Track listing for “Telemiscommunications” is:

About deadmau5:
Joel Zimmerman, more commonly known as deadmau5 (pronounced ‘dead mouse’), is one of the world’s most respected electronic music producers of modern times. Enjoying international chart success with his singles “Professional Griefers,” “Sofi Needs A Ladder,” “Ghosts ‘n’ Stuff” and “I Remember,” he has also released four critically acclaimed albums: > album title goes here <, 4×4=12, For Lack Of A Better Name and Random Album Title. The multiple JUNO Award-winning and Grammy®-nominated artist performed at the 54th Annual GRAMMY Awards as part of its first ever telecast performance highlighting electronic music. His ability to push the boundaries of his talent grows at an equal rate to his fan base, which counts over 7 million on his Facebook page. A major touring act, he has headlined Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, Sonar, Virgin Mobile FreeFest, Coachella and Creamfields, and sold out Rogers Centre in Toronto and PETCO Park in San Diego, as well as multiple consecutive nights at legendary venues like the Roseland Ballroom in NYC and the Palladium in Los Angeles.  2013 includes headlining slots at Ultra Music Festival – Miami, Lollapalooza Chile, Lollapalooza Brazil and The Veld festival.  Plus plans for a major world tour are in now the works. He recently appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone (summer double issue, 2012), marking him as the first electronic artist to do so, and currently appears on the cover of VIBE.

About Imogen Heap:
Grammy and Ivor Novello award winning artist, producer, song-writer, multi-instrumentalist and innovator Imogen Heap is currently working towards the completion of her fourth studio album which is due for release later this year. The album has the working title ‘Heapsongs’ and will be made up of songs arising from 12 very unique and distinctive projects that began in March 2011.  Each track has its own video and artwork and has seen Imogen explore 3D sound, India, China, generative jogging music and developing a pair of musical gloves.   “Telemiscommunications” is the seventh released project so far of 12 from the album.

Imogen released her debut album iMegaphone in 1998 and in 2002 became one part of underground hit band Frou Frou before releasing her second solo album in 2005 Speak For Yourself. The album pioneered a new artist/audience relationship through various online avenues and was a success on both sides of the Atlantic. In 2005 and 2006 Imogen became the artist of choice for US film and TV providing music to what is now an endless list of television shows including The O.C, CBS crime drama Criminal Minds and HBO’s Six Feet Under along with films Just Like Heaven, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe and The Lovely Bones among others. Imogen’s most recent release was her album Ellipse in 2009 which was a global success earning her two Grammy nominations, winning ‘Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical’. Imogen remains a consistent innovator of music and technology.

DATSIK and his FIREPOWER friends and label mates Delta Heavy, Bare Noize, Mayhem, Getter and Sub Antix are storming into Texas for the FIREPOWER Records Showcase Thursday, March 14 at Austin’s Electric Lounge. The night will feature a continuous round of blazing bass from the FIREPOWER arsenal. Leading the charge is DATSIK who will showcase material from COLD BLOODED, his most recent release which features collaborations with Excision, Snak The Ripper and Messenian.

For DATSIK, FIREPOWER stands out as an extension of his revered and applauded musical persona. “I come from the dark, hip hop-influenced side of dubstep, and I’m trying to create a haven for that style,” he explains. “There are all of these incredible young producers on the rise. I want to elevate them and promote them. If I’m playing a track in my set, I’m likely to sign it and release it. Those are my guidelines, and FIREPOWER’s dance floor ammunition is my contribution to the EDM world.” DATSIK’s specialty is wrecking the dance floor. Barely out of high school, the Canadian artist and producer inked a deal with Excision’s Rottun Recordings. He released a series of successful singles and EPs and rose to prominence as a leader of the underground dubstep scene in North America. After collaborating with the legendary Korn on The Path of Totality, he toured the U.S. with the group. Then, 2012 saw him release his proper full-length debut, Vitamin D, via Dim Mak Records and featuring the epic single “Evilution” [Featuring Jonathan Davis of Korn & Infected Mushroom]. However, founding a label has always been part of his plan.

FIREPOWER began formally contributing to that landscape with the release of AFK & Hizzleguy’s 10-song EP, Full Clip. Unveiled in February 2012 on iTunes and Beatport, the collection solidified FIREPOWER as an explosive force to be reckoned with. Other acts that make up the roster include Barron, Getter, Rekoil, Terravita, The Frim, DKS, Sub Antix and DATSIK himself. With more music on the horizon, they’re well on their way to domination. Either duck and cover or storm the gates with them.

Soulwax, Rhye, Mark Ronson vs. Riton and many more added to line-up

The 16th edition of Melt! Festival is taking shape, with a new wave of acts ready to perform on the Ferropolis peninsula from 19th to 21st July. Joining acts already announced, such as Atoms For Peace, The Knife, Alt-J and James Blake, are a whole host of thrilling new acts including Soulwax, Ryhe, Mark Ronson vs. Riton, Local Natives and Austra.

Over a decade ago, Soulwax emerged with edgy alternative and electro sounds. Having done an incredible range of remixes for countless artists under the guise of Too Many DJs, they also made themselves a name as versatile producers.

Electronic sounds will also be represented this year by Melt! residents Digitalism, whose track ?2 Hearts? was made the official festival song two years ago, plus Trentemøller with his electrifying live performance, and star producer Mark Ronson and Riton who will be getting behind the DJ booth together this year. Archive, who released their ninth album, With Us Until Your Dead, in 2012, and Amon Tobin will spin under the guise of Two Fingers, and the cryptic Swedish electro project iamamiwhoami will also perform.

Canadian trio Austra will cross the Atlantic to bring their epic soundscapes to the industrial backdrop of Ferropolis this year. Also making the journey are LA duo Rhye and Brooklyn-based Friends, who released their debut album Manifest! last year. Local Natives, MS MR, Diamond Version, Metro Area (live), Trümmer and Bicep also star and Berlin label Suol will bring their unique sound to the Gremmin Lake with Daniel Bortz, Chopstick & JohnJon, Till Von Sein and Trickski.
