2011 Wrap-Up (by URB Readers)

As a part of this year’s Best of 2011 survey, we asked voters to tell us what they thought made 2011 special when it comes to music. And as we expected, URB readers told us what’s up. Some of you were disappointed, but most stayed positive about the past 12 months and are enthusiastic about the year to come. As one of you so aptly put, “I want the music of 2011 in my head for at least the month of January 2012.”

With only a few hours left in the year, we decided to share some of the best comments with you. Thanks for an awesome 2011 and looking forward to 2012! Have fun tonight and stay safe. …MORE

Exclusive Download Celebrating Cazzette’s Debut at Cielo, NYC 11.17.11 (MP3)

Behold Cazzette; the dubstep excursion titled “Save the World” charted in the Top 20 on the Beatport Top 100 General Charts for six weeks straight. If that’s not a testament to dancefloor movement, I don’t know what is. This Swedish duo are making their way to nightclubs and DJ-focused events everywhere. They’ve gained steady support from David Guetta, SHM, Avicii and Martin Solveig, among other tastemakers. The word on the street is that their sound is an infectious blend of dub house. Sweden’s latest rising stars are not to be missed with their debut at premiere NYC club Cielo.

Cazzette applied their expertise to Tim Berg’s hit track “Bromance” and came up with a crazy remix.

Live Review: Flammable Liquid 20-Year Anniversary Reunion

Twenty years.  Good God.  Has it really been twenty years?  Has it really been two decades since Flammable Liquid, L.A.’s most beloved of all old-school rave after-hours, began blazing its historic trail and setting the city’s nocturnal underground alight?  Have the ones who’ve been there from the beginning really gotten that much older?  And can that magical vibe from all those years ago be resurrected in this second decade of the twenty-first century?  Well, yes, yes, yes, and YES, respectively, as this 20th-year reunion party proved on this cool September night.  Even as Nocturnal Wonderland  raged far away in San Bernardino to tens of thousands, the several hundred who were at Flammable Liquid laughed at the mere idea of going all the way out there for yet another by-the-numbers massive.  There was no fucking way they were going to miss …
