Tonight in L.A. (February 2, 2013)

Keep the first weekend of February moving in the right direction with some old school 45 anthems from Funky Sole at The Echo (free before 11) or the massive electronic sounds of Porter Robinson at Hollywood Palladium.  Speaking of the Palladium...don't sleep on those Justin Timberlake tickets going on sale for Grammy night.  His return will be an epic show I'm sure.



Beyond dance floor action - you can get some throwback soul from Earth Wind & Fire at Fantasy Springs Resort, some lessons in pimping from Too $hort at Canyons, laughs courtesy of Adam Carolla at The Roxy and rock-esque stylings from Gram Rabbit at LA Fort and Dengue Fever at Detroit Bar.

Porter Robinson Releases "Language" Video

Just watch and enjoy.  Want to go on an adventure?  Just sit back and enjoy Porter Robinson's latest music video - the official one for "Language."  The shots and effects are spectacular - which only makes the song feel that much more epic.  The falling on each release and bass drop is a nice editing touch - and by the end of the video - it feels like you just finished Neverending Story.


Props to Porter on this one.

Porter Robinson - Language/Sunday Coachella Set

My first instrument I ever owned were turntables, and it wasn't until I played a drum machine that I was able to learn how to play kit - so there is no denying that there is SUPERGOOD love for all things electronic and electronic music culture.

Porter Robinson is killing the game right now.  He delivered a set of epic proportions and monstrous energy at our BandPage HQ party at SXSW - and he is slated to probably do something similar for the next two weekends in Indio, CA for Coachella.  He is playing 4:20-5:15 on Sunday.  To tease the audience on what some of the drops might sound like - he dropped this poppy ass banger big one - "Language" - on his soundcloud yesterday.

Electronic Music's Next Huge Thing: Porter Robinson

If you felt like you were late to the Skrillex party last year, don't make the same mistake twice. We hope you learned your lesson and are already hip to Porter Robinson because he could be the next act to blow the roof off of electronic music. The 19-year-old’s accomplishments thus far rival many seasoned veterans’ and may we remind you he’s only 19?!?

Having just completed a tour supporting Tiesto in which Robinson performed for the largest DJ event in US history (approximately 26,000 were in attendance), his peers are already touting him as one of the nu-breed saviors of electronic music. Porter Robinson was featured on Billboard’s “Top 21 Under 21” list, and managed to crash Beatport’s servers when he released his Spitfire EP earlier this year. He’s already remixed the likes of Lady Gaga and Avicii with several more A-list offers rolling in. What’s that, you want to see Porter Robinson live? Well you’re in luck because he’s stopping by The Music Box Saturday December 3rd (get tickets here).

If you can, clear your schedule on the 3rd…you won’t be disappointed.
