Toronto-based duo Zeds Dead have (not so quietly) become a formidable presence in the EDM and bass music scene, and starting in a few days they'll be launching a supersize tour designed by the folks responsible for Deadmau5 and Skrillex’s eye-popping spectacles. The "Living Dead Bus Tour" teams the crew with our boy Araabmuzik and Omar Linx. To celebrate, Zeds Dead have released a remix of "Wild at Heart" by Sabi, the Britney Spears collaborator who most recently appeared on a hit Cobra Starship track. It sounds like Rihanna getting a crash course at Dubstep University, which is ...

Das schwedische Indie-Pop-Trio Miike Snow hat für den 16. März via Smi Cool/Sony Music sein Zweitwerk "Happy To You" angekündigt. Der Nachfolger ihres selbstbetitelten Debüts soll dabei in jeder Hinsicht professioneller und ausgereifter klingen und unter anderem Bläserensembles, sowie eine Kollaboration mit Sängerin Lykke Li beinhalten. Ansonsten bleibt das Dreigespann seinem Hang für einprägsame, piano-getriebene Pop-Songs zwischen Indie und Elektronik treu und dürfte es damit schaffen, den eigenen Bekanntheitsgrad noch einmal zu vergrößern. Mit "Paddling Out" gibt es bereits eine erste Single, zu welcher in Zusammenarbeit mit Regisseur Andreas Nilsson ein reichlich bizarres Video entstand, das verblüffend menschlich aussehende ...

Confused revolutionary? Brilliant provocateur? As her Super Bowl digit malfunction reminded everyone, Maya Arulpragasam is one of the most polarizing figures in pop today, a neon blur of contradictions and conflations — but she may also be the most thrilling. Here's a handy primer to her life and art and everything in between SPIN originally published in our August 2010 issue. By some accounts — including her own — we should all be done talking about Maya Arulpragasam. In 2007, promoting her sophomore album, Kala , the singer known as M.I.A. told an interviewer, "I feel like a mirror reflecting back ...

Rather predictably, Madonnas half-time show at the Super Bowl last night was met with the level of controversy which led the NBC and NFL to release statements to the press. Did Madonna reveal a nipple à la Janet Jackson back in '04? Did Madonna make out with Nicki Minaj à la the Britney Spears/TV Awards? No. M.I.A. stuck her middle finger up to the camera for a split second. Pitchfork ended their news piece on the situation with "What's extra annoying about last night's event [is] that M.I.A. doesn't need these cheap ...

As I was beginning to emerge from my self-imposed musical hiatus I began to look around for music to appreciate. This was before I began to search websites for ideas and my ability and horizons as regards new music were pretty restricted. In fact, it was pretty much confined to the radio. That kind of shaped my emergence from this self-imposed exile in quite peculiar ways. Now for those who are not familiar with UK radio, it gives the term "mainstream" an entirely different name. Basically, the major local and national radio stations have static playlists of about 30 tracks ...

Left hand yellow, right hand wrapping a python around your neck, mouth making out with Madonna?

The half-time show is not the time to experiment with new material. Stick to the old favourites and watch downloads surge At Super Bowl XLVI on Sunday, Madonna will play "three old songs and one new one," she announced at a press conference in Indianapolis. There are also reports that a championship football game will be played between the New York Giants and the New England Patriots .
