    The Chicago festival scene just got another member. React Presents has unveiled its second major summer festival titled Mamby On The Beach.

  • Empire of The Sun Releasing Two Volumes of 'Celebrate' Remixes

    Electronic music is similar to jazz in one way (and probably only one way): Doing your own version of someone else's song doesn't make people mad. Just like jazz musicians have been adapting "St. James Infirmary" for years, DJs are often remixing tracks from their fellows when they aren't crafting their own new music. Empire of The Sun is proving how much you can get out of one song with its forthcoming Celebrate collections.
  • Caitlin Carter's Playlist of 2013: Eminem, Paul McCartney, and Rich Homie Quan

    Music Times, like so many other music publications, was looking to publish a "Best of 2013" playlist. We met to discuss what such a playlist should include, and that's where we ran into trouble. We couldn't agree. Sometimes two of us just couldn't agree on whether the performer was amazing or terrible, and even when we agreed they were amazing, we couldn't agree on what track was most representative of their work. Hence it was decided that rather than try to agree (a seemingly impossible endeavor), everyone would get their own "favorites of 2013" playlist. We won't argue that these are neccesarily the best tracks of the last year, but they're definitely songs that caught our respective attention and caused us to hit 'repeat" over and over and over again
