David Guetta and Company Conclude the Three-day Ultra Music Festival

Comments Off

At the last day of the Bicentennial Park-held Ultra Music Festival , the program had a double dose of star glamour and Trance in store for the 50,000 or so crowd , who had all gathered to chill their favourite dance music.

will.i.am from the Black Eyed Peas teamed up with an energetic list of house-music artists including Laidback Luke, Steve Aoki, Erick Morillo, Robbie Rivera, Wolfgang Gartner and David Guetta.

There was an additional reason to celebrate for the Dutch trance musician Armin van Buuren, whose A State Trance program was being broadcasted for the 500^th time. thinking about the occasion he had re-titled his show to ‘ASOT 500.’ The show took the time slot that is usually reserved for Carl Cox, and therefore van Buuren made sure that fans don’t get disappointed. He invited his famous DJ friends such as Cosmic Gate, Gareth Emery, Ferry Corsten, and ATB along with the one who concluded the show, Sander Van Doorn. All that star power made the place crowd up with hoards of bodies everywhere.

As the clock ticked 7 in the evening, van Buuren took to the stage with his fellow Dutch pal Corsten, but instead of playing music together AVB tore into his own material while his buddy joined the audience to enjoy some good old Trance.

While the Dutch legend did his thing, WolfGang Gartner bombarded fans with one hit after another including “Spacejunk,” “Illmerica” and “Animal Rights.” The he teased fans with some unreleased material of his like “818” and “Forever,” leaving the crowd ecstatic.

Later on in the show, in-house favourite Morillo presented the crowd with a triple dose of Rachel Starr, Jessica Sutta and Shawnee Taylor, one after another. Crowd didn’t miss a beat as Taylor executed two of her biggest hits “Stronger” and “Live Your Life,” along with a few more.

Following that was P.Diddy’s arrival on stage, during which he spitted his part of the verses from Diddy-Dirty Money’s “Coming Home,” with his friend Morillo backing him up.

David Guetta was feeling the electronic club music and he peppered his fans with “Gettin’ Over You” and horn-rich tune that most of the fans had never heard of. The intensity of Guetta’s music was such that many experienced Goosebumps while the Frenchman was on stage.

will.i.am joined Guetta on multiple times during the show to lend him his voice for “The Time,” and “I Gotta Feeling.” However, the biggest surprise of the night came when Flo Rida made a totally unexpected entry and dropped Guetta-powered ‘’ Club Can’t Handle Me,” with crowd barely able to withstand so much musical finesse coming their way.

Another noticeable moment came when up-and-coming star Afrojack mounted the stage and emotionally said, “David, I love you. Miami, I love you. This guy is the f—ing sh–! So Miami, make some noise for David Guetta!” The crowd obliged and gave a roaring sound of approval to Guetta’s talents and Afrojack’s gesture.

Wiz Khalifa will keep up his Attitude and Style

Comments Off

Some music experts have suggested that following Smash out of Wiz Khalifa hit ‘Black and Yellow’ and his fan-favourite underground track ‘Taylor Gang,’ his musical style and general attitude has changed a little . Maybe stardom has begun to catch up a little with the previously humble rapper? The aggressive nature of his recent songs, shift from his native city of Pittsburgh to the shining lights of Los Angeles and a new hot girl friend certainly suggests so. But the lanky MC has rubbished these beliefs and has said that he is still the same person, although he is learning and exploring new things.

During the Woodie Awards at the South by Southwest musical festival, Wiz had a quick talk with MTV News, where he made it clear that ‘Taylor Gang’ does not mean that he has switched styles. He said that his fans and people close to him are well aware of the fact that he has a history of exploring new musical variety , and he likes to try out new beats, but that is in no way an indication that he is ready to part ways with his identity or his trademark laidback music.

Explaining his collaboration with the Taylor Gang-music producer Lex Luger, Wiz said that there was a mutual respect between him and Lex from a very long time, and a joint effort just made so much sense. Like Wiz was up until last year, Luger is currently considered a highly rated up-and-coming artist, who is looking for his way break on to the mainstream music arena, and Wiz said that he is glad to help the young producer achieve the level which he craves and deserves.

Still think Wiz is changing? Well, don’t! That’s what the rap star’s message was as he pointed out that it isn’t the first time he is working with Lex, as he had previously produced several tracks for Wiz’s Cabin Fever mixtape- a fact little known or paid little attention to, in the media circles. Apart from that the weed-lovin’ MC assured his fans that he would never sign up to work with someone, who he doesn’t think would fit in with his lyrical content and style.

Wiz then told that he keeps an eye out only for those who compliment him and are able to remain consistent throughout their association with the Taylor Gang-favourite. He also lavished Luger with praises, saying that when he meets up with him inside the recording studios, amazing things happen, just like they did in Cabin Fever, and he promised the fans of supplying them with the same quality as before.

The release of Wiz’s much predicted debut album ‘Rolling Papers’ is just around the corner, and he does not want his fans to get the wrong idea about him. But if they do, Wiz said, ‘he knows better

Justin’s Up Coming Music Album

Comments Off

Teen sensation Justin Bieber has exploded on the music scene. In the past he has leaned more towards a pop musical direction, with a little hip hop thrown in for good measure. But could the teen heartthrob make a transition into country? Could “Bieber Fever” go countrified?
Rascal Flatts lead singer Gary LeVox revealed the news when he spoke to country radio station WSIX, according to CNN. “Justin asked us to duet with him on his next record. It’s actually a really good song! The kid is really talented. He plays five or six instruments really well.”

Past musical collaborators with Justin Bieber have been Diddy, Drake, Ludacris, and Kanye West. So it pretty obvious that the “Beebs” likes himself some hip hop. Can the transition work? almost all think so, as Bieber has a huge following, and that can only extend to country, not repel it. Once mainly a following of teenage girls, Bieber’s influence is starting to spread throughout all facets of music, thanks in part to his many ‘eclectic’ collaborators.

On Sunday, Bieber confirmed LeVox’s statements through his twitter account while voicing accolades for the latter’s county music group “ I love @Rascal Flatts and I’m beloved they are making music with me,” he wrote “and for those that don’t know …they have awesome records like this one. #GREATMUSIC.” It is reported that the 16 year old 2010 AMA artist of the year approached Rascal Flatts himself. Justin then included a link to a Beiber fan video with a Rascal Flatts song in the background. Obviously Bieber fans are excited for any new music by the Canadian, let alone a duet with another popular group such as Rascal Flatts, who have been heavy hitters in the country pop genre.

  The singer is indeed working on new music for a new record. Last Sunday it was reported that Beiber was seen at Diddy’s (Puff Daddy) New York recording studio working on tracks for a current album. Justin tweeted of how he “missed the recording studio” and how he made some “great records tonight.”
  True, Beiber has been on a hectic tour schedule, following the smash breakout achievement of his 2009 album, My world, released November of that year
  The name and release date of the song have not yet been revealed. Bieber has said, however, that his voice is altering and that this will be reflected in his current album and in his live shows. This is perfectly natural for a performer now aging in the spotlight, principally one such as Bieber who is touring so much.

“Some of the notes I hit on ‘Baby’ I can’t hit anymore. We have to decrease the key when I sing live.” Although I am sure in the future, Justin Bieber will continue to hit the right notes for his fans, which hold they’re breath awaiting his forthcoming release, still untitled as of press time.

‘Born This Way’, Lady GAGA and her team’s views

Comments Off

The idea used in Lady Gaga’s ‘Born This Way’ music video is that of a science fiction odyssey, portraying the birth of a fresh new race which is free from the worldly impurities of passing biased judgements. The video has already launched to rake in ‘views’ in bulk, meaning director Nick Knight and his productive engine containing Haus and Laurieann Gibson have worked the magic.The basic video set used in the clip, gives the vibe of a horror movie cum fashion shoot setup that has Gaga written all over it. The musical director of the project Fernando Garibay opined that a lot of notion was put behind Born This Way’s look as it is the first released track of Gaga’s forthcoming album. Hence, the first impression had to be perfect so that it sets the tone for the rest of the content.The creative producer Laurieann Gibson, who additionally served as the song’s choreographer, opined that after listening to the song during the brainstorming session, it took her some time to come up with a visual rendition for the song that would fit in completely with the powerful and essential lyrical content. Gibson recalled that after a lot of thinking, she came up with the concept of birthing an unusual race. Gaga jumped quickly on board and then her handpicked director Nick Knight took charge of all the matters.In the end, the visual creation matched completely with Born This Way’s lyrical message of ‘loving and accepting each other’s existence no matter how different they are,’ and wrapped up a project, whose ‘dance’ sound made it a uncertain proposition for Garibay. He reminded that turning a dance song into a concept-based video is one of the most challenging tasks in the trade, however Team-Gaga was adept to skilfully synchronise their visual message with the song’s wordings and one-of-a-kind sound.The actual filming part wasn’t a piece of cake either. From the very conception Gaga had decided to shoot the video in her hometown of New York City and Gibson recalled that it took a big effort to retain the location secret and hidden from all the media spotlight.Once the end product was in front of them, Garibay explained that masses was thrilled with the video’s amazing bundle of Gaga’s on-screen talents and the creative levels that she was able to explore. He also new that the song conveys a message of special cultural significance, and provides a sense of confidence to those who have been isolated and exiled by certain factions of today’s uncompromising society. Gibson summed up the Team-Gaga interview by saying that they hope their effort will be remembered as something which raised the standard of music video creation in the present times – an era where there are no limits and nothing is TYPE YOUR TEXT HERE!

I Am Still Music Tour with Rick Ross; Travis Barker and Minaj

Comments Off

Lil Wayne composed his long awaited return as the ‘main event’ of a high profile Musical Show on Wednesday night, and Weezy didn’t waste the chance to let the audience know how grateful he is to be back on the stage in his comfort zone.

He spoked with the crowd and said that he skipped being in front of them all, during his tough time in jail and fans also screamed their hearts out as if to say that they also missed the diminutive rap star.

The crowd rescued Weezy in every possible manner and whatever he preached, his fans compeled . From there on, he set upon delivering his trademark lyrical content, all while his Young Money artists such as Jae Millz, Shanell, Lil Twist and Mack Maine stayed with him on stage.

Dressed in his favourite white jersey and blue jeans, it seemed as if Wayne had lost some weight since his stint behind the bars. His hair appeared longer than usual , and his rap delivery phenomenal .

The A Milli singer is legally prohibited from consuming any wine or drugs and the added activeness in his body was clearly visible the whole night. He performed ‘Got Money,’ ‘I’m Going In’ and ‘Look At Me Now’ before playing some old material from his critically acclaimed mixtape ‘No Ceilings.’ After giving crowed their money’s worth, he then made way for female MC Nicki Minaj.

Nicki was ready to conquer the crowd , after being introduced on stage by a strange monk-like figure, with a clip of ‘Gladiator’ movie playing in the background screen. She kicked off her cameo with the performance of ‘Roman’s Revenge.’ Dressed in a white and her favourite pink-coloured suit, Nicki did full justice with her alter ego of ‘Roman.’

During her staged performance , she also found the chance to play some football with her backup dancers, and like the winner he is, Nicki ran past everyone to score a memorable, fake touchdown.

The pink diva then showed the flirtatious side of her personality by inviting a fan on stage for a lap dance, and then stayed true to her word by delivering what she had promised, much to the amazement of her ecstatic fan.

Half an hour later, Wayne took to the stage once again and started off his second session of the night by playing material from ‘Rebirth.’ When time came to present ‘Bed Rock’ Jae Millz, Mack Maine and Minaj joined Wayne once again to support him vocally.

But the most fired up artist of the night was Wayne’s prodigy Cory Gunz, whose high-octane version of ‘6 Foot 7 Foot’ was easily the most electrifying song of the concert .

Then Rick Ross appeared , with rockband Blink-182’s Travis Barker behind the drums . The Miami rapper was as smooth as anyone and his half hour stay on the stage resulted in him spitting ‘B.M.F. (Blowin’ Money Fast)’ and ‘Hustlin.’

At the end of the programme , Wayne gave a shoutout to a number of the big names of the American music industry that passed away , for example Notorious B.I.G, Tupac, Michael Jackson and the recently expired Nate Dogg.<a href=”http://977music.com/blog/2010/01/listen-to-free-online-music/” >Free Online Music</a>
