Felix Cartal “Popular Music” and Tour Dates (MP3)

Here’s the first rave-inducing track from Felix Cartal’s debut record, Popular Music, due out on the 23rd via Dim Mak. With its punchy beats, tantalizing vocals, and murky instrumentation, the track is wonderfully addictive. But then again, Cartal must know how to make a banger after having remixed the likes of MSTRKRFT and pop stars like Brit Brit, as well as opening for Justice and Busy P. This time around, he opened his Rolodex and invited Johnny Whitney (The Blood Brothers, Jaguar Love), Todd Fink (The Faint) and Austrian newcomers Beta Bow. We’re expecting nothing short of earth-shattering (no pressure). Tour dates after the jump.

Z-Trip’s Revolution: A Party for the People [11/13/09] (Video)


As my cab pulled up to the Maloof family’s Palms Hotel, I couldn’t miss the massive “Z-Trip’s Revolution: A Party for the People” sign towering above the parking lot. Just another piece of evidence confirming DJ culture was permanently etched in the entertainment landscape. Two back -to-back nights at one of Vegas’ biggest properties (Paul Oakenfold owns Saturday’s for his Perfecto night) puts guys with records on par with the city’s comics and American Idol winners.

Treasure Island Day 1: Escape to Hipster Camp

The bars in the Mission must have been reminiscent of an old ghost town Oct. 17th night, as its ever-reliable crowd of flannel and leather jacket-donning patrons had other plans—Day 1 of the Treasure Island Music Festival in San Francisco. We had heard that Saturday was completely sold-out, and we didn’t have to look much further than the line of kids wearing the telltale decorated mesh stockings, hoodies (you know the ones I’m talking about) and Ray Bans to figure out why. …MORE

Perry Farrell interview

Perry Farrell, the ‘godfather’ of alt-rock, might soon have a new moniker to honor his strides in…electronic music? Yes, Farrell’s still a part of Satellite Party and Jane’s Addiction, but he’s also integrated a sizeable DJ area at Lollapalooza, performed live with Paul Van Dyk and Moby, played at Cochella under DJ Peretz and has a live electro act with wife Etty Farrell. While it seems surreal to chat blogs and The Bloody Beetroots with a man who’s famous for an extensive rock-based career, make no mistake about it, Farrell knows what he’s talking about. In fact, with every passing day, he’s becoming increasingly entrenched in the dance scene and collaborating with some of the biggest names in the business. Here for URB, Perry talks about DJ culture, the future of bands and finding his way in …
