Steve Aoki and Kendrick Lamar with Bad Rabbits 4/13/13 @ Meadow Brook Festival (Photos & Review)
By Jacob Giampa Bad Rabbits started off the chilly evening at a sold out outdoor concert at Meadow Brook Music Festival. They are a R&B band with a very modern sound and catchy songs. They were very interesting to watch as they spastically jumped and danced across the stage. http://www.BADRABBITS.com http://twitter.com/BadRabbits http://youtube.com/badrabbitstv Next up was Kendrick Lamar. Kendrick has had a huge year, and his performance was highly anticipated since his songs just about own the radio these days. But first we had to endure his hype man who ran around the stage shouting “YEAH!” for way too long. (Bitch don’t kill my vibe. HA!) Regardless, everyone loved Kendrick! His flow was unique, relaxed and his…

The Deadmeat Tour: Steve Aoki and Datsik 2-25-11 (Review and Photos)
After the Detroit leg of The Deadmeat Tour, I overheard one fan say that she wished Aoki and Datsik owned a Detroit club and held such a party every week. We agree! Saturday night was a high-energy, super-hype event. We walked in just in time to hear the second special guest, Mustard Pimp. Mustard Pimp was a pleasant surprise and well-worth checking out. The group is signed to Aoki’s label, Dim Mak Records. Datsik was up next. The British Columbia, Canadian has had a huge year. Ironically, we had just covered the Korn show at the same venue two days earlier, and Datsik had helped Korn with their new 2011 album. Datsik…

Album Review: Steve Aoki “Wonderland” 1/10/12 (Score 81%)
http://www.steveaoki.com http://www.dimmak.com I adore Steve Aoki. I got the chance to see him live this summer at the Identity Fest and loved his presence. He’s a star-the hippest of the hip. I also am a fan of several of his well-known tracks such as: “Misfits” “Wake Up Call” and “New Noise.” I’m excited to see him finally release a full-length album. Other than a few songs that failed, it’s an interesting album in the genre I like to refer to as pop-techno. His music is so damn likable and catchy, even if it’s a ‘lil heavy on the dubstep. 01. Steve Jobs (feat. Angerr Dimas)-Love the build-up! Bouncy. Video-gameISH. Aoki’s…

Review: Bassnectar in 2012 (Score 91%)
Last week we were supposed to attend the Bassnectar show in Detroit, but got assigned to cover Madonna last minute so we figured we would take photos after the Madonna show. Security wouldn’t let us bring our cam in that late so we were bummed, but judging from all the drunk people outside of the Fillmore and in the lobby, a good time was had by all. So instead of photos from the show, we made a Spotify playlist of all of Bassnectar’s 2012 released tracks on Spotify and wrote down our first impressions of each song. Also, congrats to Bassnectar for being listed on Rolling Stone’s list of “The…

Identity Festival Detroit 8/12/2011 (Photos and Review)
This year, the newly formed Identity festival came to DTE Energy Music Energy Theatre. Detroit was the second stop on the first ever touring electronic-music festival that introduces itself as a “sensory extravaganza” that possesses “unparalleled production.” They did not disappoint! Throughout all stops of the tour, the festival is simultaneously running three stages: Rockstar Energy Drink’s Dim Mak Festival Stage, the Advent Stage, and the Skullcandy Main Stage. I was impressed that even though Detroit was only the second stop on the tour, the timeline of all stages was accurate and all performances flowed smoothly. Our first stop was to the Rockstar stage to check out the fantastic electropop duo, Holy…
