Ultra pal Lounge highlights electronic gems
Tahoe Daily Tribune
pal favorite BLVD is a San Francisco-based “livetronica” trio that strives to break down the barriers between the dance-club scene and the live music community. The band started in 2003 before forging a full-time partnership with Colorado MC Souleye who drops conscious rhymes atop BLVD’s live electronic music. Break Science is the brainchild of DJ Adam Dietch. The New York-based band plays club music as a “live mix tape” blending trip-hop broken-beat dub drum-and-bass and hip-hop with drums programming or live instruments. Break Science has performed with the likes of Wyclef Jean Matisyahu Talib Kweli and Rob Swift of the Executioners. Dietch is the son of two professional funk drummers who first picked up the sticks at age 2.

All About Jazz
The Cyber Mehfil brought the sounds of modern electronica to the traditional music of the subcontinent while adding visuals and incense to entice the other senses as well. In a span of eight years since the first Cyber Mehfil the Midival Punditz have become the most in-demand producers and remixers in India with remix credits for some of the biggest Bollywood soundtracks such as the 2008 blockbusters Don & Chake De. They have shattered attendance records of some of Indias most venerable clubs such as Mumbai’s Blue Frog and have become the foremost ambassadors of India’s rapidly growing alternative and electronic music scene around the world. Since releasing their first Six Degrees record in 2002 the Punditz have created a Bollywood film score given tracks for a Hollywood film (Closer) collaborated with some of the greatest classical musicians of India and contributed to several Six Degrees compilations. Their version of Zeppelin’s “Four Sticks” in fact was originally done for the Six Degrees 10th anniversary record and revealed Raina and Raj’s abiding love for classic rock. That affection colors much of Hello Hello. The song “Atomizer” for example is a rollicking stomping tune that looks back to 80s rock and also features an electronic “vocal” track.

STS9 to electrify rpheum stage
UW Badger Herald
” And others might deem them a jam band of the future — especially considering computers have become the mainstay “instrument” used on stage. But if you asked the band itself STS9 members would say they are a band with an unrecognizable electronic sound that mixes musical instruments with high-tech software to lure fans in with heavy bass beats groundbreaking sounds and psychedelic lights. Forming at Georgia Tech in 1998 David Murphy (bass) Hunter Brown (guitar) David Phipps (keyboards) Zach Velmer (drums) and Jeffree Lerner (percussion) established an electronic jam band by incorporating the genres of electronic rock and hip-hop into live music. The band has since developed a cult-like following after reaching number 12 on the Billboard’s Top Electronic Albums with their 2005 album Artifact. In the last decade STS9 has become a major force in the music world establishing themselves as a major act after headlining Bonnaroo Rothbury and Camp Bisco music festivals. Keyboardist Phipps elaborated on the band’s innovative sound in an interview with The Badger Herald. “The sound is a lot bigger than what you would think five people on stage could make” Phipps said.
