| Video: Riz MC shows Kanye West how to do proper electronic rap Posted: 22 Nov 2008 03:22 PM CST When news surfaced that Kanye West had decided to flirt with electronic music on his new album '808 & Heartbreak' we hoped it would be an edgy and electronic-based rap LP, but were disappointed to find that the electronic music elements were nothing more than some hideous vocoded-vocals that sounded like a robot was being sapped of its energy. British rapper Riz MC on the other hand shows exactly how rap and electronic music can be fused on his brilliant new single 'Radar' on Damian Lazarus' Crosstown Rebels. Kanye West, please pay attention. |

| PromoOne: The future of electronic music promotion arrives Posted: 21 Nov 2008 04:40 PM CST Back in the days before digital, DJs used to be sent promo records through the post. Some of it was decent, but a lot of it was crap. Then when digital arrived, the promos started arriving via email as downloadable links. The problem was, anybody with your email address could send you promos even if you didn't want them, and sorting through them became a nightmare. That's what Beatport's new promo service, PromoOne, aims to fix. Having beta launched last month, PromoOne offers DJs and labels with a way to connect in order to promote good electronic music. |
