Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music

I want everyone who calls all of my House and Electro "Techno" to study this! haha, but seriously this is an awesome site even if you know it already the samples are great!

iTunes drops price of all DRM-Free Music to 99 cents

I've always been more of a Beatport guy but for those of you who buy music off iTunes will be glad to know that Apple has dropped the price of all their 2 million DRM-Free tracks from $1.29 to $.99. Apple's DRM-free tracks are all AAC files encoded at 256kbps.

More Electronic coming to KRUI

As KRUI's RPM Director for only about 2 weeks, I have already made some awesome contacts that are going to help greatly in getting some new and quality electronic music onto our airwaves!

Two of the contacts I have made so far that I have to give shot outs to are:

Leigh at SPECTRE-


Sian at Toolroom Records-

New $hit from my boy, Deadmau5

In my opinion this guy is the best producer to come on the scene lately and definitely one of the most productive hitmakers I have seen in a long time! This new one is called "Assorted"! Special thanks to Vibe4Me for the hook up!

Deadmau5 - Assorted

New Track from Axwell - "Submariner"

Heres a DL link for a new track from Axwell called Submariner!

Axwell - Submariner

Yep that me and my friend Kristen on Saturday night! Such a great time, I hope some of you made it out cause I played TONS of sultry house music! The environment was incredible - everyone was looking fabulous, the club looked great, and people from all over the midwest were there. I also got to hang out with DJ Diverse who was a guest DJ that night and he did an amazing job from what I heard.

Heres another view from the DJ Booth (you can see the Go Go dancers on the far side of the bar and theres hardcore porn on the TVs - true 54 style haha)
