Listen to Italian Producer Tava’s Rework of Exchpoptrue’s “Discoteca”
Rising Italian producer Tava is making waves this summer with an updated take on Exchopoptrue‘s “Discoteca,” originally released in 2001. Created in collaboration with Gosts and Stefano Pain, the track was released via Be Yourself Catalogue B.V. on June 5th, followed up on July 17th with remixes from Anderblast and Alliance. Already making its rounds on Italian airwaves, including in a radio stream from preeminent producer Hardwell, “Discoteca” is infectiously melodic and upbeat, with an electro house drop full of weaving synths and chopped up vocals. With its increased BPM and modernized sonics, it’s primed to circulate the dance floors once clubs are able to reopen from lockdown. With “Discoteca,” Tava continues to firmly e...
THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN Frontman GREG PUCIATO Releases ‘Roach Hiss’ Solo Song
“Roach Hiss”, a new song from Greg Puciato, the wildly adaptive musician whose resume ranges from the unpredictable THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN to the pop-infused electro outfit THE BLACK QUEEN and the metal supergroup KILLER BE KILLED, can be streamed below. The track is taken from Greg‘s debut solo album, “Child Soldier: Creator Of God”, which will be released on October 23. “I’d been writing for so many different projects, DILLINGER, then THE BLACK QUEEN, and KILLER BE KILLED…and I just kept on writing,” explains Puciato of the 15-song album that sees him singing and performing all instruments, save the drums. “It felt as if I had more to say, but nothing that necessarily filled the script of those bands, so I ended up with something t...
MEGADETH’s DAVID ELLEFSON: DAVE MUSTAINE ‘Writes Some Of The Best Riffs In The World’
In a new interview with the “TODDCast Podcast”, MEGADETH bassist David Ellefson was asked how good his songwriting ideas have to be in order to be to be considered for inclusion on one of the band’s albums. He responded: “I think certainly you can hear, and you see it in the writing credits, the collaborative eras, especially ‘Countdown To Extinction’, ‘Youthanasia’ and ‘Cryptic Writings’. And that’s because that lineup was together for a few records, and we started to figure out how to work together. And that’s a big part of it — being able to work together as a group. “Everybody has strengths, everybody has weaknesses, and I think if you sort of tap everybody’s strengths, you hear the best of the best, an...

JR JR Predict the Upcoming NBA Restart
It should go without saying that this year has been sorely lacking in joy, but the end of July is here and the NBA has flown an entire league down to Disney World to finish out the season. In what feels like a two-month-long Battle-of-the-Bands-version of sports the excitement is certainly there…but the weirdness is palpable. All players, coaches, and staff are sealed within what has been termed ’The Bubble,’ which we had assumed meant Epcot Center. Instead, it seems to be a series of makeshift courts built within hotel ballrooms (imagine that!). The games are played without fans. The tech side seems to be getting all the attention. The Lakers are letting JR Smith crash on their floor. Sound familiar? Perhaps they found a way to make SXSW happen after all! This is certainly the most precar...
Tekashi 6ix9ine Requests Extra Security To Complete Community Service
Source: @JustInMyView / R1 Digital Obviously, Tekashi 6ix9ine isn’t a complete idiot. The rap game’s biggest troll and most infamous snitch has requested extra security for completing his community service because, duh. Actually, it’s the “Gummo” rapper’s lawyers who are looking out for their cash cow, ahem, client. Reports TMZ: T69’s attorney, Lance Lazzaro, tells us his client will be released from home confinement by Saturday — which will allow him to move into the next phase of his sentence … community service. We’re told 6ix9ine hasn’t done a single hour since he’s been stuck at home. Now that he’ll be able to get out again … Lance says there’s a new problem his legal team is circling — namely, where the hell to put the guy so he can complete 300 hours of community service. ...
Wiley Somewhat Apologizes For Antisemitic Tweets, Permanently Banned From Twitter
Source: Joseph Okpako / Getty Wiley, known as the “Godfather of Grime” in the UK, has been embroiled in controversy after sharing a series of antisemitic messages on Twitter. After a suspension and eventual ban from the social media network, Wiley has addressed the matter but seemingly isn’t distancing himself from some of the more explosive comments. In a sitdown with Sky News, Wiley, real name Richard Cowie Jr., spoke about what he framed as “generalizing” when it came to his comments, which led to a falling out with his Jewish manager. By way of a recent interview, the 41-year-old artist isn’t necessarily backing down from his stances that members of the Jewish community within the music industry are pulling the strings and, in Wiley’s view, responsible for systemic racism. “I just want...
