Wolfgang Gartner releases “Baby Be Real ft. John Oates”

Wolfgang Gartner has teamed up with Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, John Oates, one half of the legendary duo Hall & Oates, for Gartner’s latest single “Baby Be Real.”

The 80s-inspired groove showcases the same nostalgic, dancefloor-driven sonics Gartner produced on his  last album 10 Ways To Steal Home Plate, coupled with Oates’ iconic buoyant vocals encouraging listeners to keep it real.

“Baby Be Real’ developed from a song idea that I started writing with Josh Charles.  Wolfgang Gartner heard a demo version and liked it enough to build a really pumped-up track around the hook. He jacked up the dance vibe big time, and the record really rocks!  I love what he did with it and can't wait to hear it on the dance floor!” adds John Oates.

“The opportunity was floated to me to turn this demo into a dance track and mix worlds by combining John’s vocals and my music. I took John’s a cappella and wrote all new music underneath it, going for a sort of late 90’s disco house throwback vibe.  This project was so organic and refreshing for me, as an opportunity to revisit the sound that I grew up on and collaborate with a legend and personal hero,”  says Wolfgang Gartner.

With Wolfgang Gartner at the helm of the “Baby Be Real” beat, Oates dazzles on his electronic music vocalist debut.

Sharam & Daniel Bedingfield - “Call To Me (Sharam’s Crazi Dub edit)”

Following in the footsteps of his 'i' series, which includes such classics as Texi, Crazi, and Tripi, Sharam applies the same mindset to his single “Call To Me,” crafting a unique dub that utilizes complex, evolving arpeggios, driving bass riffs, and other bold sonic elements. The mix reduces Daniel Bedingfield's somber vocals to mere snippets; ghostly effects lurking in the background of a looming arrangement tailored for the Underground audience.

The original was released on Sharam's album Retroactive in June.  This dynamic collaboration’s roots go back to the pair’s hit single “The One” from Sharam’s 2008 album Get Wild.  As is typical with Sharam, 'Call To Me' infuses Bedingfield’s beautiful, complex and heart-warming songwriting with a dark and lavish house groove resulting in a composition fit for the club, the radio, the beach, the bus, or anywhere you can escape into this emotional, sonic journey.

Autoerotique continues to slay dancefloors worldwide with "Slew Dem," a ruthless bass house tune complete with Auto’s signature pitched down vocals and crisp percussion patterns. The track is the second single from his forthcoming free EP Darker Things out on Dim Mak November 18th.  
 
Heading into fall full speed ahead, the Toronto native is coming off one of the most productive summers of his career. He began by making his debut on Calvin Harris’ Fly Eye imprint with the Hunter Siegel collaboration “OTF,” which peaked at #6 on Beatport’s Electro House charts. Autoerotique then teamed up with Steve Aoki for “ILYSM,” a milestone future house collaboration that appeared on the Dim Mak founder’s celebrated 4OKI EP and recently eclipsed 10M Spotify streams. The track garnered a litany of support from industry-leading producers, including The Chainsmokers, Martin Garrix, David Guetta, Sander van Doorn, and Tritonal, among many others. Autoerotique also recently joined Aoki to perform the track live on MTV’s brand new Wonderland series, sharing the stage with Blink-182, Lil Jon, iLoveMakonnen, Rich The Kid, and more.
 
As a leading figure in the bass house genre, Autoerotique continues to move the needle forward with each release. “Slew Dem” will only strengthen his status as the Juno Award-nominated producer prepares his highly anticipated Darker Things EP.

Steve Aoki & Dim Mak Collaborate with PM Tenore and RVCA on Capsule Collection

Through RVCA's Artist Network Program (ANP), Steve Aoki and PM Tenore are proud to announce their merge of music and fashion together with the Dim Mak x RVCA 20th Anniversary Collaboration. The collection is a microcosm of each brand’s unparalleled impact on both industries.

The collection arrives in the midst of Dim Mak’s 20th Anniversary. Steve Aoki’s flagship record label has spent 2016 on an ambitious world tour, rocking audiences in Barcelona, Chicago, Ibiza, Malta, Mexico City, Montréal, New York City, and other global hotspots. With a milestone stop at Amsterdam’s famed ADE convention in the can, Dim Mak’s reputation as a global tastemaker has never been stronger. The Dim Mak x RVCA collaboration echoes that notion by striving to integrate the diverse network of different subcultures with one common thread: the balance of opposites. While the partnership between Dim Mak and RVCA is naturally idiosyncratic due to their roots in separate industries, it is not random by any means:

"I’ve known Pat Tenore for over 23 years, since I started going to his skate shop when I was 15 years old. In 2006, Pat and RVCA gave me my first fashion collaboration - a custom Steve Aoki bag. Since then I’ve had the pleasure of creating alongside Adidas, Burton, Diesel, and Supra to name a few, but nothing feels better than working with a close friend. Pat's been there since Day 1 and has always believed in me. This 20th Anniversary is a special time for both myself and for Dim Mak, and I can’t think of a better person and brand to collaborate with on our capsule collection." - Steve Aoki

Having grown up in the same Orange County area, founders Aoki and Tenore are cut from the same cloth. They connected during the punk rock era, both using skate culture as an early vehicle for inspiration. The entrepreneurs started their ventures from the ground up, instilling similar core values and DIY attitudes that still stand today. Those values are manifested today in RVCA’s Artist Network Program, which “aims to showcase the talent of accomplished as well as unknown artists who inspire our generation and push the boundaries of creativity.”

Borgore releases sultry electronic single “Best” + official music video

Continuing his onslaught of cross-genre hits, Borgore unleashes his latest melodic single “Best” in tandem with its official music video. “Best” is a sultry electronic record that veers away from his usual brand of dubstep as a bass-led ballad and his most personal record to date. It’s written about the ending of a relationship and illustrating the producer’s more emotional side that’s remained out of the public eye.

Its visual treatment is a cinematic masterpiece, with a music video that unravels with the plot and optics of a blockbuster. From director Karam Gill, “Best” tells the compelling murder mystery story of a mob boss, entwining a husband, his wife and his mistress that results in a surprising finale.
