The next queen of Electro music and my new guilty pleasure has hit the airwaves. Though not known by many in the mainstream, Ke$ha is no virgin to the music scene. Ke$ha has collaborated with the likes of the Veronicas on their single, “This Love” and with Flo Rida on his track, “Right Round”. Shortly thereafter, she was signed to RCA and released her first single with Diddy, “Tik Tok”, a crunk electro treat with major electro synths and dancefloor beats.
Ke$ha’s sound is a perfect example of how electro can transition into the main stream music scene. Her sound and catchy lyrics are gritty and push the edge. She is the definition of the liberal urban party girl. Keep an eye out for Ke$ha – her sound is right on the mark and should have exciting things to offer in the future .
Experiencing Ibiza is one of those thrills that can not quite be illuminated with words. After all, it’s all about losing one’s self to the dancefloor, so if you are not familiar with this sort of daft idealism then I’m afraid this post might be a bit worthless. The island always provides this opportunity at the hands of arguably the finest DJs in the world, yet I’ve always been left sensing something was lacking from my soundtrack. This is where Ibiza Rocks’ Reclaim The Dancefloor shakes things up.
Every Tuesday for the past two months, artists like 2 Many Djs, Skream, Steve Aoki, Pendulum, & Boys Noize redefined the perception of what a Balearic summer should sound like. Paired with rock acts MGMT and Vampire Weekend, the island’s non-stop party never looked so good. If you haven’t made it out to Ibiza yet this summer, pack your bags now as there are just three of these parties left with the closing night bringing you The Klaxons and Digitalism.
Since we have arrived at the climax of these events, we want to shed some light on Doorly, the unsung hero who holds the resident honor at every single Reclaim party. Remixing everyone from Dizzee Rascal & Calvin Harris to Kanye West & Major Lazer, this man inflicts rhythms that switch across filthy dubstep and banging electro. Before the summer began, he put together a warm-up podcast which he dubs “the 1am to 2am warm up set” and we believe it’s still pretty hot. Judge for yourself.
