With a background in classical piano, this 21 year old Australian producer discovered the Launchpad when he read an interview with his music idol Deadmau5 entitled “Dance DJs are Glorified Button Pushers”. He uploaded a self made video to YouTube on July 10th, 2012 of his mashup “Weapon” using the Novation Launchpad, under the moniker M4SONIC. Within less than 3 weeks the video had gone viral with over 1,000,000 views! Subsequent videos of Skrillex’s “Bangarang” and solo demos have received similar acclaim, along with his latest original “Virus” and the YouTube channel now has a cumulative total of over 11,500,000+ views. Now developing his live show and original tracks this is an artist to watch for 2013…

Although Knife Party’s Haunted House EP was set to release on May 6th, it looks like the tracks leaked early. It’s been a long wait but it was definitely worth it. It’s also possible this isn’t the entire EP. I think Piledriver and Baghdad will be released on May 6th with the rest of them but we’ll see.

Whoops features singer/songwriter Penny delivering a jaw dropping vocal treatment perfectly accompanying 12th Planet and Mayhem‘s beastly production techniques. Whoops opens with foreboding synth riffs and tension building drums as Penny’s vocal smoothly cascades down a river of emotion guiding us to the edge of tomorrow. Perfect for both peak-time and 6am sets, Whoops is guaranteed to be in your top ten for months to come. Whoops will be released alongside with Murdaaa on May 7th via SMOG Records.

DMNDZ has flipped Seven Lion’s Days To Come into a chilled atmospheric trap track. From start to finish it’s super impressive, but after 3:15 the track takes a turn for the best.
