Not that Deadmau5 didn't kick major ass in 2007 with tracks such as his remix of "Harder, Faster, Stronger" and "Not Exactly" but Deadmau5's side project, BSOD which includes Steve Duda launched some epic tracks like "This Is Also The Hook" and their remix of Armand Van Helden's "Witch Doktor."
Safe to say that Deadmau5 has more booty dropping rhythms set to start riots in 2008!
2. Electro will continue to rock clubs in 2008
I love Disco House and Deep House but hard Electro beats have found a home in clubs around the nation and will continue to beat out it's funkier counterparts in 2008. Also, Tiesto, Paul Van Dyk, and other traditionally "Trance" DJs will release more remixes such as Tiesto's "Lovestoned" that will be House orientated.
3. Lollapalooza 2008 will host another big name DJ
Maybe this is wishful thinking but organizers of Lollapalooza music festival have to be pumped about the response that Daft Punk received at Lolla 07'. Therefore, organizers will book another big name DJ that will get the Househeads out to Grant Park another year!
4. Blog Music will continue to rise in popularity - possibly receive scrutiny
As well all know, 2007 was a big year for "Blog House". The ability to get music, keep up on releases, and hear about upcoming gigs are just a few of the things that blogs devoted to music provided us in 2007 but will the record companies start to attack blogs that post music for free? Regardless, distribution of House and Electro will continue in 2008.
5. More bedroom DJs and Producers will make it big
To ignore the fact that the Myspace revolution and the internet in general has changed electronic music is completely ignorant. The big boys will have to step up their game to compete with the unknowns as the internet will continue and increase that exposure of small time DJs and Producers.
