Wolfgang Gartner (real name Joey Youngman) is a Grammy-nominated American electro house producer and DJ. Much of his music prior to 2010 was released through his own record label – Kindergarten, but in 2010 he signed with Ultra Records and in 2011 signed to Ministry of Sound in the UK.
In his short time producing music, a total of eight of Gartner’s songs have held the #1 position on the Beatport Top 10 Chart. Gartner has performed at world-renowned dance music festivals such as Coachella 2010, Electric Daisy Carnival 2010 and 2011, and tours extensively around the world.
Joey Youngman created the Wolfgang Gartner name in late 2007 after establishing a moderately successful name as a Deep House DJ. Not wanting to be criticized for such an abrupt change in style, Youngman created the name anonymously. Gartner’s identity was revealed officially in July 2008. In 2010, Gartner debuted as a featured guest on BBC Radio 1′s Essential Mix series, hosted by DJ/producer Pete Tong. In January 2011, Gartner announced a new video for the single Illmerica. In addition, the DJ announced a new logo created by famed New York graffiti artist Eric Haze. That same month, Gartner was nominated for four International Dance Music Awards, including Best Electro/Tech House Track, Best Progressive Track, Best Breakthrough DJ and Best Breakthrough Artist. Forever, a new collaboration with will.i.am, was released on April 12, 2011. His forthcoming album, Weekend in America is going to be released on September 20, 2011.
Das Pop can rock but they don’t make rock. They are shameless in their creation of ‘white’ power pop full of supple references to 1960s hit bands, 1970s singer/songwriters and 1980s new wave. But their music never feels retro. They combine the old with the new in a way that only makes perfect sense for a band that developed a few bar stools away from the sample mayhem of 2manyDJs.
The Game was recorded after an enforced five year break. Due to ‘the usual record company bullshit’, their third album Das Pop, which was recorded in 2004 and produced by Soulwax, did not appear until 2009. So while walking around with an unreleased masterpiece up their sleeves, Bent moved to Paris to dive into the world of fashion and art, Niek moved to Stockholm to open a studio, and Reinhard stayed in Ghent to produce such records as the highly-acclaimed Goose debut.
Of course they never expected they would have to wait so long to record a follow-up. So when in November 2009 they finally entered Niek’s studio, it was as if a cork exploded from a bottle of champagne that had been shaken for half a decade. Starting from scratch and self-producing for the first time, they recorded a song a day over four three-day sessions. They then went to New York to fine-tune the results with the legendary Stax and Ardent engineer Terry Manning, before mixing it at Manning’s Treehouse, near his legendary Compass Point Studio in the Bahamas. The cork just kept popping…

Teaser Video for Zombies for Money – Ankara Dream!
It seems like every time summer rolls around, our Portuguese brothers Zombies For Money come through with a batch of amazing new T&B anthems for us. This superstar duo hit it big for Trouble & Bass in summer 2010 with the genre-shattering one-two punch of “Kolkata” and “Sururumba,” a follow-up to their massive first EP, which included the best-selling club smashers “Numbra One,” “Bhangra Dance,” and “Sacanagem.” If you’ve been paying any attention to the global tropical bass movement, then we’re sure you’re already familiar with ZFM’s Manaia and Klipar, from their original tracks plus remixes for the likes of Drop The Lime, Torro Torro and Steve Starks, Slap in the Bass, Twin Turbo, and Kry Wolf. Often copied, never duplicated, these two wildmen pump out the best tunes in any genre you subscribe to.
Ever wonder what happened to electro hip-hop? It was making a lot of headway about five years ago, but it suddenly seemed to fade away… Well, it hasn’t completely gone quite just yet.

Yeah, the video is a few months old… but we only just found out about these guys after they played NYC last week. These guys rocked it, and we are happy to tell you that disco has returned with a rock’n'roll swagger. Tiger Love haven’t made any big moves yet, so make sure you watch this video, so that in a couple of years you can tell your friends “Yeah, I was into them before they were popular…
VHS or Beta are back. They will be performing live again, so keep any eye out for them. In the meantime, you might enjoy this rather saucy video for ‘Breaking Bones’ from their new album..
