Pursuit – Gesaffelstein [VIDEO]

by Bryan on Jun 17, 2013 • No Comments

I’m sure few would agree that their is no better way to wake up and start your day on the right foot with an early morning serving of french electro. The sounds of Justice, Brodinski, Surkin, and many other fine artists hailing from the hexagon strike a cord for me and those who can’t help...

Epic (Gent & Jawns Edit) – Sandro Silva & Quintino [FREE DL]

by Bryan on Jun 9, 2013 • No Comments

Usually we reserve music played around 110 bpm’s for Mondays, but when track like this makes its way into our eardrums we are inclined to make an exception. Gent & Jawns are no strangers to our site and certainly shouldn’t be new to those who’ve heard the duo’s moomba and trap tracks played out by pretty...

I’ve talked about him relentlessly for years and for those who’ve been with us from our days on Tumblr know that Boys Noize was the first artist I posted about when contributing to The Dankles.

Go Hard “Single” + Tour Announcement – Boys Noize

by Bryan on May 30, 2013 • No Comments

I feel that it wouldn’t be a proper summer filled with music festivals, late night shows, traveling across the country, and sharing experiences with other like-minded individuals without some brand new music from the one and only Boys Noize! Alex Ridha has dazzled the eyes and ears of many in 2013 thus-far. Whether he’s...
