"We f**king rockstars, call us Zeds Deppelin"


Well, the title of this post pretty much says it all. Zeds Dead is taking over the EDM world one day at time! Currently touring North America on their #LivingDead tour, Zeds is bringing opening acts Araab Muzik, XI, Memorecks, Mat the Alein, and Knight Riderz along for the ride! The tour boasts over 70 dates in just 84 days! 


The title of the post references my personal favourite track from their latest EP Victor with Omar Linx, 'You and I'. The hauntingly beautiful voice of the female singer, along with a strong rap from Oman Linx combines into an unreal lyrical 
hip-hop meets dubstep track! Check it out below. To check out the full EP click here!

Are you in A State of Trance? New Sounds, New Faces


Having missed Armin Van Buuren at the Western Fair District on Thursday, I sulked in my room all weekend. I played every song I’ve ever heard by this world famous Dutch artist, downloaded another fifty at least, and raged like never before… Yes, on my own... Judge me, I dare you. 


I came across a gem of a jam that is definitely worthy of being my first song shared with you. The ASOT 550 Anthem, “Invasion” by W&W will keep you bouncing in your seat, car or shower with its unreal hook and dirty bass line. Check out the transition at 2:12 for my personal favourite part of the song. Chosen by Van Buuren’s most loyal listeners as the anthem for A State of Trance episode, I’m sure it’s one we can expect to hear a lot in the  coming months and of course, get us through exam season.

Rage your heart out bitches.


xx, 
K♥. 


Get to know Kirsten:

My name is Kirsten Matthews, and I am legitimately addicted to music. I grew up in Markham, Ontario, and listened to primarily hip-hop, rap, r&b, and top 40. When I was 16, my parents up and moved my ass to a little peach of a town, Welland, Ontario. Having little else to do, this is where my musical interests expanded, including everything from country and blues, to reggae, indie, reggaeton and my most favourites, house, trance and dubstep. I only hope you love the unreal shit I share with you as much as I do.

EDM Mondays #4: Dzeko & Torres, Ted Hunter, and Shane Martz


Its Electronic Dance Music Monday's and today I've decided to feature a trio of DJ's including Ted Hunter, Dzeko & Torres, and Shane Martz. Ted Hunter is in the works on a new Ellie Goulding remix to 'Lights' and we have to the preview for you to check out. I heard the full track and it's a great remix! Look out for it! 



When I featured Dzeko & Torres a few weeks ago, I got a great response so I though I would feature them again. Although this is about 8 months late, their bootleg of Adele's, 'Someone Like You' is a progressive house banger! One of my favourite versions/remix's to this song for sure! 



Lastly, I'm going back about one month to Shane Martz' original mix, 'True Colors'. This is one of my favourite releases from him and I had to share it once again. Pretty impressive considering its an original!
