Beyond the Beats: EDM News and Culture - A podcast by Alec and Samir
Categories:
Welcome to Episode 19! This week we discuss some big topics... we cover new releases from the likes of Afrojack, Hot Since 82, Armin Van Buuren, 4B x Flosstradamus and - of course - Avicii's posthumous album - TIM. Delving into the world of electronic music, we FINALLY discuss the first section of the IMS Ibiza 2019 report - an annual summit that discusses the state of EDM in the world. Additionally, we discuss the Zedd & Matthew Koma beef, Swedish House Mafia pulling out of Ultra Korea last minute, and Samir's experience seeing Tchami x Malaa again (hint: it didn't disappoint). This week's Anti Plur moment is about people who don't dance to an opener's set... c'mon people, you've got to set the right vibe! A special shout out to the Artists We're Watching this week: Saint Punk and Skolar. Samir saw Saint Punk during Tchami x Malaa and he was very, VERY impressed. As for Skolar, very little is known about him; however, what Alec does know is that he's someone to look out for. As always, THANK YOU for tuning in. We really appreciate all the support and love. Lastly, a quick reminder... Since Samir and Alec will be attending Second Sky, there won't be a regular episode next week. However, there's arguably something even better... we will be releasing our 4th ARTIST SPOTLIGHT with the incredibly talented artist - Gurf. YOU NEED TO CHECK HIM OUT AS HE'S ALREADY DOING BIG THINGS. Take a look at his Soundcloud (link in the full notes) ahead of next week's interview! And now you may enjoy this week's episode :)
