WOOP WOOP




Swedish House Mafia's first album
Until One
is number ONE on iTunes UK
& number 21 iTunes US

OH YEAH

HOUSE IS DOMINATING

Right now (today) on i-tunes UK

All in the top 15!
2. Rihanna- Only Girl . produced by David Guetta - house
4. Mike Posner- Cooler Than Me . not officially a DJ unlike the others in this list but still - house
8. Duck Sauce- Barbra Streisand . A-Trak & Armand Van Helden - house
12. Swedish House Mafia- Miami 2 Ibiza (Ft. Tinie Tempah) . Ingrosso Angello Axwell - house
13. Tim Berg- Bromance (Avicii Edit) - house. Tim Berg is only 21. such a genius!

Dubstep:
35. Katy B- Katy On A Mission
56. Magnetic Man- Perfect Stranger (Ft. Katy B)
58. Dj Fresh- Gold Dust.

If you haven't noticed, most of the mainstream/commercial pop artists you constantly hear on the radio these days all have a touch of house,electro, or simply a dance beat:
  • Mike Posner- Cooler Than Me
  • Far East Movement- Like A G6
  • Rihanna. new songs produced by David Guetta
  • Black Eyed Peas. album: The E.N.D, partly produced by David Guetta, full of electro.
  • Ke$ha. her songs have electro sounds and house beats.
  • Kelis. collaborations with David Guetta
  • Chris Brown. new song. Yeah 3x produced by Dj FrankE.
The "trend" now seems to be DJ's producing or collaborating with artists:
  • Swedish House Mafia. their recent hit collaborations
  • Sebastian Ingrosso producing the song Cupid Boy for Kylie Minogue's album Aphrodite
  • Boys Noize producing a song for the Black Eyed Peas.

Dubstep is also a new trend. adored by MANY.

Congrats to Mr.Guetta for being such an influence.

So happy that all these DJ's are getting their big break! and influencing pop music everywhere.

MAJOR LAZER


This is Major Lazer

No, this is Major Lazer, really.

Major Lazer, is the cartoon, but it is a duo composed of Switch and Diplo.
This duo is definitely a fashion favourite, with there music played at shows such as Alexander Wang S/S 2010, Louis Vuitton S/S 2010, and Karl Lagerfeld S/S 2010.
A reggae voice, heavy bass and a touch of electro? yepp, that's probably Major Lazer.

Diplo is the quite good looking man (to the right) behind some of M.I.A and Santigold's hits. Just by hearing their songs you can imagine Diplo's musical style: dancehall, electro-dubstep, underground, jungle/tribal beats and again that reggae voice (normally female--Rye Rye).
His collaborations include: Laidback Luke, recently Tïesto
many genius remixes aswell.


Diplo is in the new BlackBerry Torch 9800 ad.
