  • Euphoria Music & Camping Festival 2015 Lineup: Pretty Lights, Adventure Club, Ghostland Observatory & More

    We are sounding like a broken record, but more is better when it comes to options for festivals.

Euphoria Music and Camping Festival just outside of Austin, Texas is one of those options and it has released the lineup for the 2015 edition. Some of the headlining acts who be taking over the festival this April include Pretty Lights, Ghostland Observatory, Adventure Club, Thievery Corporation and STS9.

    There is very little news these days surrounding a new Rihanna album, so any tiny tidbit is going to make a splash.

  • Feed Me Unveils EP Details, Nixes Skrillex Collab

    Feed Me (real name Jon Gooch) has unveiled more information regarding his upcoming EP. The innovative UK electro/dubstep producer revealed on Christmas Eve that he would be releasing plenty of material in 2015, starting with a new Feed Me EP. The "Calamari Tuesday" producer took to Facebook to reveal the cover art for his the upcoming EP, which announces a new release date for the four-track EP — Feb. 2, instead of the previously acknowledged Feb. 1. Drawing conclusions from the cover art, which features a faceless Feed Me mascot dominating a city, the EP could be titled "A Giant Warrior Descends on Tokyo." In addition to divulging EP details, a fan asked about the long-awaited Skrillex and Feed Me collaboration that has been floating around the internet for some time — plus, the pair have played on occasion. Gooch joined the comments section to shoot down the idea that it will come out saying "Not that interested in releasing it. Sorry Guys." He quickly followed up with, "Not actually sorry."
