For Breaking Bad fans the world over, it might be the end of the road, but the beat apparently lives on. Far from a funeral march tune, the star actor Aaron Paul, better known as key character Jesse Pinkman, is the feature vocalist on the new big room house track from Tom Neville and Zen Freeman. Aptly titled ‘Dance Bitch’, the track is…memorable, we think. It’s certainly a nice little sound grab of Paul’s ‘signature’ voice, immortalised in beats. Audibly a bit shaky here and there, we can’t shake the thought of Jesse imploring us to ‘come on, dance’. Seriously, he sounds a bit desperate, we feel we better do it for fear of BB style retribution. If only! Source: stoneyroads.com http://soundcloud.com/risingmusic/tom-neville-zen-freeman-1

As the Disclosure fire continues to burn and spread on their Australia tour, Stoney Roads nabbed an exclusive interview with Howard, half of the power duo, this afternoon. After showing concern that a friend of Stoney’s took her top off at their Sydney side show last night (‘I don’t know if thats OK, it was meant to be an underage gig!’), the stand-up gentleman went on to talk candidly about the success of their debut album Settle, collaborations and time in Australia. Disclosing many things, amongst them that Michael Jackson is the pair’s dream collaboration and the devastating fact that they both have girlfriends (a gal can dream), Howard was keen to talk about the trajectory of their music to date. When asked about drugs, and if they felt any grounding in the idea that drugs and dance music were synonymous,the affirmation was that the boys were all about the music. After playing the highly anticipated Listen Out tour, we were also super curious about whether the boys would be back in town, potentially to play the cryptic line up of Field Day, but our hopes were dashed. Only time will tell what the boys have in store, hopefully they’ll be back on Aussie shores soon – sans girlfriends. Read the entire interview here. Source: stoneyroads.com

Forever an emblem of eccentric creativity, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs will arrive in Farringdon come Friday 8th November to perform not only a set of his usual eclectic, vocal-laced persuasions but also a little something a world away from his typical jams. Grabbing hold of his infamous prehistoric attire, the prolific maestro will set down in the midst of the Metalheadz roster in Room Two to deliver a very special jungle set. To make sense of the upcoming performance, we asked the man behind the T.E.E.D moniker to share some of his favourite jungle tracks of all time with us ahead of his appearance.

So I need a new mouse and I've given up on finding what I want wireless. I'll be getting a das keyboard which are cabled anyway. I want a mouse that comes as close to the design of the Logitech G3 as possible. Ideally I want a 5 button (with the 4 & 5 buttons on the right AND left side (one on each side)) not the one that has 2 on the left side at the thumb rest. Where can I has?

Thanks to the wonders of the internet, one’s quest for knowledge really has no limitations. Between the plethora of digitized articles, documentaries, and—on the technical side of things—instructional videos and guides around, there is no shortage of information accessible to those who seek to learn more about the ever-expanding world of electronic music. The lecture, however, makes for a unique form of information sharing as it not only provides the necessary facts and details, but also allows for attendees (and, eventually, viewers) to get a sense of the person behind these facets of knowledge. With that in mind, Beatport News has compiled what we believe are 10 amazing lectures on electronic music, gathering videos from modern innovators, dance music originators, technical wizards, and a few that simply capture a time and place in electronic music too perfectly to overlook. Below are our 10 picks guaranteed to teach every electronic music enthusiast and music maker something new. Richie Hawtin is surely one of techno’s living—and gigging, for that matter—legends, and his lecture at this year’s Red Bull Music Academy NYC session proved to be an enthralling and informative discussion. Covering his evolution as a DJ and producer, Hawtin talks about his experiences beginning in Windsor, Canada (just across the river from Detroit), throwing warehouse parties, launching record labels, and the evolution of dance music as a culture. The techno stalwart also discusses how technology has been central to his professional career, and why he has continued to strive to stay on the leading edge of music technology. Everyone knows Sonny Moore (aka Skrillex) as a monster performer and surefire producer, but what his conversation with Jeff Rosenthal at IMS Engage earlier this year reveals is that Moore is also a careful planner and an artist concerned with creating a sustainable future for electronic music. While the discussion does cover some of Moore’s rise to becoming Skrillex, the talk is more focused on what building blocks can lead to a concrete scene. Most interestingly, Moore talks about being $30,000 in debt before having Skrillex become what it is today. The 45-minute talk provides an interesting look at what happens behind the scenes of electronic music and what Moore—arguably one of the most successful electronic talents to rise from a grassroots movement—hopes will sustain the future of dance music. Thanks to Daft Punk and their inescapable summer jam “Get Lucky,” the genius of guitarist/songwriter Nile Rodgers has been introduced to a new generation. But, as many of us already know, Rodgers is a musician who is squarely at the foot of dance music, having completely revolutionized disco with his band Chic and a long list of memorable—and commercially huge—productions. In this discussion with Pete Tong at IMS’ 2012 edition, Rodgers talks about how he first began making disco and how he and his crew became thought of as having “captured Studio 54 in a bottle.” The hour-long discussion includes some entertaining anecdotes from the disco era and goes on to give a sense of the atmosphere that marked New York’s early club scene—which would eventually give rise to house and techno years later This 2007 RBMA lecture features a young (well, aged a mere 25 years) A-Trak alongside the late DJ Mehdi. The discussion, which runs over two hours, captures both producers right around the time when Ed Banger and the world of electro house was taking over the globe. In it, the two discuss the difficulties of evolving beyond hip-hop production and what makes a good dance track while capturing the fast-evolving scene and pace of dance music—specifically French electro house—that was occurring at the time. Although this lecture appears shortened in its video form, this discussion between legendary digital-instrument designer Roger Linn (the man behind the MPC) and techno stalwart Carl Craig occurred during the 2012 edition of Seattle’s Decibel Festival, and finds the two discussing the evolution of drum machines from the Rhythmicon (believed to have originated in the 1930s) to the Tempest, Linn’s latest creation alongside MIDI “godfather” Dave Smith. Along the way, Craig talks about his evolving relationship with drum machines in his productions, and Linn adds insight into why certain devices were created in particular ways to help producers and musicians make use of these ever-changing machines that provide the very base of dance music. While on the subject of technology, it seems fitting to check in with Bob Moog, the synthesizer pioneer and man behind the renowned family of Moog synthesizers, such as the legendary MiniMoog Model D and the more recent MiniMoog Voyager. Taking almost an hour, the lecture covers Moog’s initial fascination with electronics and his time developing earlier modular synthesizers before covering the basics of synthesis and how they have been applied to Moog’s unique instruments. As Moog passed away less than two years after this RBMA lecture, the video serves as one of the last in-depth discussions with the legend, one of electronic music’s greatest technology contributors and an utterly fascinating mind. Moodymann (aka Kenny Dixon Jr.) is one of dance music’s most intriguing figures. The Detroit DJ and producer rarely gives interviews and does his best to exist outside of the regular music-business hierarchy, running his own label, releasing his own music, and just being his own damn self. Dixon’s 2010 lecture at Red Bull Music Academy is one of the organization’s most iconic—and infamous—exchanges, as it features the veteran producer getting his hair braided while he talks about music in Detroit and delves into his own philosophy on producing, DJing, “fucking the MPC,” and existing as a creative entity in the modern world. While the discussion is certainly entertaining (the man even talks about making a track entirely inside a Guitar Center), Dixon dishes out some real gems of wisdom, albeit ones shrouded in a bit of mystery due to his enigmatic persona and unique gift of gab. No lecture list would be complete without at least one TED Talk. Earlier this year, the iconic discussion series invited renowned beatboxer and producer Beardyman (aka Darren Foreman) to lead a brief presentation on what is possible with the human voice. Amidst displaying some of his skills and giving a brief overview of his background, the British man of many talents eventually shows off a complex amalgamation of gear and programming that allows Beardyman to create full-fledged audio productions by manipulating only the sounds that come from his mouth. As he emphasizes, no pre-recorded audio or sample triggering is used; everything comes from the sounds of Beardyman’s own mangled voice, and the results are quite mesmerizing. In 2006, a young Skream was invited to take part in a chat at the RBMA session in Melbourne, Australia, and an illuminating and frank discussion of the UK’s garage and dubstep scene at the time ensued. Everything from London pirate radio to Fruity Loops to legendary club nights like DMZ and FWD is fair game in this talk, which gives viewers a comprehensive impression of what the dubstep movement was like when it was first taking form in the UK, before it made the jump across the Atlantic. And, because you have to know where you came from to know where you’re going, the last conversation to make this list features Italian producer and electronic-disco pioneer Giorgio Moroder. Sitting down for a 40-minute talk, Moroder details the atmosphere and drive that led him to produce seminal dance records like Donna Summer’s “I Feel Love,” while also covering how he first encountered synthesizers and why he finds the current world of dance music so exciting. Get your learn on!

Kaskade flips the bird at University Of Massachusetts for banning EDM DJ Kaskade has become the official defender of all things fun, sending a ‘big fuck you man!’ to the University of Massachusetts for cancelling the Pretty Lights and Above and Beyond performances scheduled for the Mullins Centre in October. The university cancelled the shows amid concerns following recent fatalities due to MDMA, stating: But that shit don’t fly with big K, who took to a good ol’ twitter rant to let off some steam: This isn’t the first time Kaskade has defended insane rage machines after an awesome time, previously flipping the bird at the American Airlines Arena in Miami for banning those quirky kids known as Kandi Ravers. There’s no doubt the use of illicit drugs has led to some tragic consequences at festivals, but we’re thinking the focus on stopping the music instead of the drugs is pretty lame.

Rare Tommy Johnson blues “holy grail” becomes most expensive 78rpm record ever sold Single 78rpm blues record sells for $37,100 on eBay. Just days after Jack White’s Third Man Records announced they would be releasing a mock-prohibition era wooden Paramount Records box set, an original Paramount 78rpm blues recording has been sold for a record $37,100 online. The record, a single “Alcohol And Jake Blues” by blues legend Tommy Johnson, is thought to be one of just two surviving copies of the brittle discs in circulation and is considered one of the genre’s lost masterpieces, not least by its lucky, and significantly poorer new owner John Tefteller, who called it a “holy grail” for blues collectors. Having already amassed a collection described by his peers as “The British Museum Of The Blues”, Tefteller intends to have the recording remastered and released, after watching bidding for the item sky rocket from $18,000 to the eventual sale price of $37,100 in the final moments of the online auction. To put the record in some kind of context, Tommy Johnson cut just five records for Paramount in his short stint at the label between 1929 and 1930, and rightly takes his place alongside Robert Johsnon, Charley Patton, Skip James and Son House at the high table of the genre’s early recording artists. [via Broadwayworld] Find out more about John Tefteller’s extraordinary collection here and Listen to “Alcohol And Jake Blues” for free below. In more pre-vinyl news, this month saw the release of the first phonograph cylinder recording for almost 100 years. Source: thevinylfactory.com

Welcome lad, you've come to the right place during your journey

M4SONIC has been blowing up the blogosphere with his unique YouTube videos that show just his hands playing tracks live on a pair of Novation Launchpads. The “Daft Punk of Youtube” hasn’t revealed his face until now; and its safe to say the identity hidden approach has paid off for this guy who seems like a good ol’ everday Aussie. With a background in classical piano ‘the man behind the hands’ has diversified his approach to music, replacing piano keys for the two MIDI controllers. His right hand controls most of the melodic sounds whilst the left is responsible for keeping in time, with a custom drum kit and various FX and vocal loops. When he released his first video released in 2013 it had over 1,000,000 views within three weeks. Since then his subsequent clips have received similar acclaim, proving that the bedroom producer is still well and truly an effective gateway into the industry if your stuff is both unique and also seen by the right person. M4SONIC will be playing at this years Stereosonic along side Boys Noize, Clockwork, Calvin Harris, Flight Facilities, Jamie Jones and many many more. He also put together a pretty tight Stereosonic mashup on the pads ahead of his appearance. Source: stoneyroads.com

It’s safe to safe that Slovenian techno producer UMEK has made a solid mark on the global dance scene. For almost two decades he has built an empire from humble beginnings in the small Eastern Europe nation. About to embark on a massive world tour, it’s safe to say UMEK won’t be home for quite some time. We had the chance to exchange some words with him en-route to LA for the start of this global stint. Djing is often described as the best job with the worst commute. Constantly jetting around the United States, South America, the Far East, and India over the next couple month, this tour proves that fact. With probably more flyer miles per-capita than any other job, DJs are most definitely rulers of the road. Slinging hard techno across the globe is no easy feat. With niche genres fads coming and going with the wind, it seems increasingly more challenging for artist to keep true to their roots while ensuring their set works with the local fans. Obviously one makes the argument that fans come to see a headliner and once producers reach star status there shouldn’t be much deviation. Though even UMEK has been surprised by the positive response received in the often-conservative spectrum of American genre trends. Despite UMEK’s European upbringings he seemed pleasantly surprised on the state’s reaction to driving techno. As the evolution of electronic music interested in the west continues to astound producers, acts that once thrived only in Europe are visiting stadiums across the globe. Like many major producers UMEK leads his own army with experimental techno imprint 1605. Along with releases on majors like Toolroom, Armada, and Cr2 the active touring Dj has over 80 releases under the name UMEK on his label. Constantly on the move, it’s no doubt that at this stage he hosts an in-house staff for promotions, label management, and more. This resume and team has built a global reach all from an artist originating in a country with a population about a quarter the size of New York City. Yet UMEK has managed to bring beats to all corners and often finds his countrymen along the way. Not sure about your experiences but our run-ins with stewardesses are always good (at the very least on the eyes). It’s no surprise that the dude comes in contact with a large amount of airline employees. Rumor has it airlines are adding a new level of frequent flyer about platinum, Dj. New York City scratch master even created his own site to showcase tips and tricks learned on the way. Out there it’s the little things that matter. Some guys have blow up dolls or cakes on their rider. This Slovenian comes in pretty easy with bananas and some energy drink on request. As much as you want to hit the road as a touring artist, integrating long distance travel into your every day schedule kills your social life. Friends become airline employees and your daily companion becomes a laptop. Sure Siri is appealing but Apple products can only satisfy so much. Next time you get pissed because the dj would trade kandi with you consider he has to go back to the hotel and work on that track your going to download for free next month. Sure with a passion for dance there is nothing else the headliner would rather do. That’s not to say it doesn’t come with a price. When it comes down to it, veterans like UMEK know who buys the tickets and often hits the crowd after a gig to show some love. When is comes to organic techno UMEK is no doubt the man to hear. Now on the road is a perfect change to experience the power of heavy hitting European electronic. Pairing up with Insomniac and other big American promoters, you can guarantee massive events. Check out his schedule to see if he is stopping near you (you probably will hear it for sure). Also keeps tabs on 1605 Recordings if you can’t get enough solid techno. Source: stoneyroads.com

Deadmau5 is no mouse. He's argued with Afrojack about what's 'good music', expressed his thoughts on Lady Gaga rolling around naked and he's now broadcast his opinion on the topic of DJing. Taking to Twitter early this morning, Joel Zimmerman randomly wrote: "I still think Nic Fanciulli was the last DJ to make it as a DJ. Now it's just a bunch of producers like me who pretend to be DJs." He then followed up by questioning whether labels actually sign DJs nowadays rather than artists who just have a "hit" before namedropping Dutch producer Martin Garrix and Chicago's DJ Sneak.
