• Flying Lotus Shares Haunting 'Coronus, the Terminator' Music Video [WATCH]

    Electronic artist Flying Lotus has shared the haunting music video for his song "Coronus, the Terminator," which you can check out below. Directed by Young Replicant, the clip stars Flying Lotus, among other people, as some sort of ghostly figure who witnesses a man's startlingly violent death. It is creepy stuff, but it is also beautiful in the strangest way."Coronus, the Terminator" is the third music video to be shared from Flying Lotus's latest album "You're Dead!," following the videos for "Ready Err Not" and "Never Catch Me" featuring Kendrick Lamar. It is one of the rare songs in which Flying Lotus sings lead, rather than collaborating with a singer or rapper."For me, 'Coronus' is one of the most important moments on 'You're Dead!' and holds ideas I'm planning to explore in my future work," Flying Lotus said of the song in a press release. "I'm happy that the visual encapsulates the meaning of the record and this ambition."You can check out Flying Lotus's "Coronus, the Terminator" music video here:

  • Katy Perry Super Bowl: "Dark Horse" Performer Reports She Didn't Pay for Gig, Hints at "Firework" and "Roar" for Playlist(?)

  • 2 Chainz and Nancy Grace Debate Merits of Marijuana Legalization on HLN [WATCH]

    Nancy Grace and her aggressive, controversy-causing show on HLN decided to have a discussion on the legalization of marijuana and invited onto the show for a back-and-forth on the issue to discuss the pros and cons with experts and ... 2 Chainz, who could be considered an expert in his own right. Nancy Grace dubs him one as she says, "I have seen a video of you smoking a big fat doobie."The whole segment is rather surreal as Grace and 2 Chainz — real name Tauheed Epps — argue over whether or not weed should be legalized in America. Grace continues to drive home her point that weed is dangerous and shows the same video of a parent who gives her 2-year-old weed to smoke, a terrible act for any parent to do. When she seems to be falling behind to Epps, the host falls back on the time-tested method by TV hosts outside hip-hop of bringing up choice lyrics to try and discredit him. Where is Cam'ron when you need him?But 2 Chainz counters by trying to drive home the economics of the situation, saying, "I just feel like if you legalize this particular drug, it could cut out certain things in the criminal justice system as far as the overcrowding of prisons ..."He goes so far as to give an example of a time when he had to go to court over shavings left in a grinder that was found in his bus, emphasizing the strain marijuana has on the legal system.

    In December, Steve Angello was invited to Singapore to be a keynote speaker at the International Music Summit, a conference specializing in dance music founded by Pete Tong. He sat down for a 40-minute chat with Tong during IMS Singapore to discuss a variety of pertinent topics in the dance music scene today, including creativity or lack thereof from new artists, his upcoming artist album "Wild Youth" and where he see things headed in the future.Speaking about his album, Angello dishes on the style and sound he is attempting with what will be his true debut LP."it's electronic music, its not dance music. It's an attempt to create a hybrid of all of the music I love and all [the] music I have been inspired by throughout all of these years, and I have made them into songs. I am not trying to do pop. A lot of producers are trying to go towards the whole EDM/pop clash, and this is different. It's more indie, melancholic, darker, but still some big songs," he said.The pair try and peel back the many layers on the difficult topic on creativity in dance music today and why there seems to be something lacking from many new producers.Talking about his comments to "Mixmag," Angello said DJs should pay their dues in clubs and that club culture is still important to dance music.
