Forward Focus is a series 30 3-minute films that talk about innovative people who are shaping the world we live in.
In this episode that talk about the Roland TR-808 and how its effect on Hip-Hop, Techno, & House music.
They speak with Arthur Baker, D-Nice, & Juan Atkins. Don’t know who they are, then watch the video.
Epic! Take a listen to this track from 17 year old producer/singer/songwriter MNEK! Filled with synths and contains a sample of Kelis form the original song, this song is worth more than just a single listen.
I was approached by Only My Musings about the idea of putting together a mix inspired by the World MasterCard Toronto Fashion Week 2012 and thought it was a great idea. Also featured on the mix is the lovely and talented Island Besos, who does makeup for the who’s who of the Toronto scene. This was a fun project to work on and both of them are great people.
Check the press info & listen to the mix below!
Nina Sky is back and have gone all alternative with their look & sound. Listen to their latest track “Day Dreaming”.
I like the track, although I wish the one with the short hair kept it a little longer.
Myself, Kid A, and Mizz Evez, are back together again chatting and talking about various topics like Whitney Houston & the death of musical artists, Jimmy Kimmel, bad Adam Sandler movies, and Toronto comedy shows.
For this episode I supply the mix.

I love the music that comes off Exploited. I tweeted about this song a few weeks ago and it’s been on constant rotation since.
Claptone has been one of those mysterious projects that no one seems to know much about, but they’re releasing some really great music.
Like my last “Track Of The Moment”, this song also samples “The Charmels – As Long As I’ve Got You”
Check out the video below and go buy the single (and their other track “Good To You”) on Beatport today!
This track is the latest of releases by LA-based duo Mad Villains. They teamed up with Kroyclub to release this great song which samples the classic “The Charmels – As Long As I’ve Got You” (of course made famous by The Wu-Tang Clan). The free EP is available for download so go and get it today!
It’s been no secret that Usher has been appearing alongside EDM artists (showing up during Afrojack’s set with Sir Paul McCartney @ Coachella 2011 or tweeting back and forth with Mad Decent captain Diplo) but we now get a look into what the outcome is.
And welcome to this special Valentine’s edition of “The Playground” podcast. We sit down with the one & only Lucie Tic and hear about how she got her DJ name, touch screen windows, how bigger artists steal smaller artists tracks, and more!
As always here at The Playground, we also have a great DJ mix from Lucie so download it today and listen!

During my daily perusal of the Internet I happened to stumple upon the site musicForProgramming();. The whole basis of the site is mixes supplied by DJs for people to listen to while programming (or other activities).
