Living in the Los Angeles area exposes you to a lot of live Electro DJ’s and Artists.

There has been a huge response from scene lately.
Thanks to the huge success of great artists like Franki Chan (IHEARTCOMIX), L.A. Riots, Steve Aoki (DIM MAK), DJ AM and Acid Girls, and Villains Los Angeles has been able to hold its own in the World Electro Scene along with South America, Europe, and Japan. I have been searching for some new up and coming producers that will keep the torch burning. To name a few KeenHouse, Lazrtag, Killed by Synth, Dan Sena, On Off On, Synthamatic, After Midnight, Whiskey Pete and Bobby Bustle have really caught my attention lately. All of these acts really put on an incredible show. High energy teamed up with great production! No one really should sleep on these guys.

The proof is in the puddin!

Peep my 1st Los Angeles Artist review of Bobby Bustle.

After seeing Bobby Bustle tear it up right before Chuck Inglish of
The Cool Kids last Saturday @ TILT, I was convinced. With HARD
hitting beats, smoothed out synths, and lyrics that stick in your
mind, Bobby Bustle came correct. I’m proud to share these
exclusive UNRELEASED TRACKS with everyone. These are
the same awesome tracks that had the whole room jumpin!
Straight SOLID!

Peep these DJ FRIENDLY ORIGINAL TRACKS!
You can’t deny the MAD STEEEZ!

and be sure to stop by his Myspace and give him some L.O.V.E.

kevin cogill arrested blogger guns and roses

Now maybe you’ve already heard about this but last week a Los Angeles based blogger’s house was stormed by federal Marshals and he was taken into custody becoming the first Californian to be charged under a 3-year-old federal anti-piracy law which makes it illegal to transfer copyrighted material over a computer network before its commercail release. The 27-year-old Kevin Cogill, pictured above, was arrested on wednesday of last week and released shortly after than on 10,000 dollars bail.

Cogill had reportedly posted 9 previously unleased Guns N’ Roses tracks from their long awaited Chinese Democracy album on his music blog, “Antiquiet“, but soon took them down after being contacted by GnR’s  lawyer. Cogill has been admitted to posting the tracks and has cooperated with the lawyers and the FBI. This didn’t seem to matter much as they still felt it nessessary to bring a swat team into Cogills small Culver City neighborhood to arrest him. “Read The LATimes Article Here.”

To me, this seems like a bit over the top. I feel like the Fed’s are making a spectacle out of this case; A) because its the first arrest of its kind in California and B) because they want to instill fear in the music blogging community. Yet another part of me thinks that this is just GnR’s technique for drumming up hype for their new album. That they could have settled this matter, maybe even with similar charges, in a less sensational way. So I could post something GnR’s here but I wont. A) Because I don’t support them going after the little guy and doing it in such a tasteless way and B) because hair bands suck.
