Classical music and electronic dance music were once worlds apart, the two genres attracting polar opposite audience demographics.

To install on Catalina, simply download and run the latest installer file for each pr...

‘A German DJ and a Mexican DJ walk into a recording studio’ - don’t worry, this is not the setup to a corny joke, rather it is the story of the creation of tech-house duo ‘Pachanga Boys’. The German half being ‘Superpitcher’ Aksel Schaufler, and the Mexican half being ‘Rebolledo’ Mauricio Rebolledo. Together for jus...

In the world of pop music, a little bit of controversy can generate a lot of publicity. No stranger to flirting with the provocative, Madonna has certainly leveraged her fair share of attention grabbing behavior across her metamorphic career. An artist who has reinvented herself so many times that the process has be...

Jean-Michel Jarre - where do we begin?! Often referred to as the ‘Godfather of electronic music’, it’s hard to think of any other single person who has contributed so much to the field of electronic music.

Under the umbrella of ‘electronic music’ there will always be a constant evolution of genre and subgenre classification. Aside from pleasing the more obsessive music enthusiast, the main benefit to categorisation is of course practicality. Unless you fancy listening to every single new vinyl in a record shop, browsi...

With only a single letter differentiating his name from an alias of Batman, DJ and Producer Mark Knight could be described as a superhero of house.
