NEW TUNE: MuzzY – “Italian Ratchet Funk” (Free Download)

curatedmusic — Tue, 21 May 2013 21:25:21 +0000

There seems to be another young and aspiring producer/dj hailing from Michigan who seems to be just about everywhere right now and that man is Dan Hacker or better known to his loyal growing fanbase as MuzzY. Staying on his grind 24/7, MuzzY is determined to manipulate his sounds in ways that will get listeners all around the globe instantly addicted. It seems as though MuzzY is set on creating tunes that are unique & far from being able to categorize or group into just one genre. The true music fan in MuzzY shows through his diverse and increasingly eloquent catalog of beats. Performing live as ‘MuzzY’ or alongside GRiZ (as live/production guitarist), the talented instrumentalist is on the brink of some big things. You can expect to see this guy on a stage near you.

This past week, MuzzY released his latest tune entitled “Italian Ratchet Funk“. The newest edition to his acclaimed ‘Ratchet Funk’ series/style, this trill tune takes us on a ride through a 1920′s speak easy and into the seat of a bumping poker game filled with gold, liquor, cash, drugs, and women. Made for the big speakers, “Italian Ratchet Funk” has that extra bump to get you through your week. We could see this track filling that “epic trap break” in any dj’s set list and we predict that this will be the case. On top of all of this, you can grab MuzzY’s “Italian Ratchet Funk” now for FREE download. Make sure you grab yours and let the man know what you think!

NEWS: ESPN Names Detroit As Finalist For 2013 X Games (Official Video)

curatedmusic — Wed, 08 May 2013 16:26:47 +0000

Wouldn’t it be something if an event the size of X Games came to our hometown of Detroit? Well, the dream may be more of a reality now that Detroit is one of four finalists to be the next host for the Summer X Games in 2014, 15′, and 16′ thanks to Kevin Krease & Garret Koehler who took their passion to the internet and gathered a huge following. There couldn’t be a city who needs an event like this more than Detroit and to see our bid go this far is great. It is time now, to step up to the plate and begin supporting the bid like you couldn’t have thought of. Up against Chicago, Charlotte, and Austin, we have a great chance to show the World that not only is our urban playground the perfect venue for the X Games but our community is the perfect demographic for this event. With the support of seemingly every Detroit representative and business owner, the team has been able to build credit for Detroit and will hopefully soon call this city the proud home of the Summer X Games!

Today, the XGamesDetroit crew released this stunning official video documenting a taste of our urban landscape meshed with insane extreme sports. We hope you find this as amazing as we do and we also hope you can join the cause!

FESTY NEWS: Electric Forest 2013 To Upgrade Size Of Sherwood Forest As ‘Plug In’ Program Allows For More Art (Human Avatar Re-Cap Video)

curatedmusic — Wed, 08 May 2013 15:34:37 +0000

It looks like fans attending Electric Forest this June are in for a special treat. For the first time since the opening of the Double JJ Ranch as a festival site, the infamous Sherwood Forest will be expanding in size! In honor of the upgrade, the festival has invited artists from all over the globe to participate in the Electric Forest 2013 ‘Plug In’ Program. The program gives participants the chance to have their proposed art installation sponsored and showcased by the festival. Planning on only granting one winner, the support for the program was evidently overwhelming leaving the Plug In team with the chance to select a few more winners. Beginning with The Cerebrum of Sherwood Forest, the first selection, the team will now select 3 new installations to join the Cerebrum creation which is the brainchild of Imago Collective.

Today we are excited to announce the second winner to become sponsored. The Electric Garden installation spawned from the unique and creatively charged minds of Laura Edelman and Dave Sumberg or otherwise known as Das’LaLa. The installation is “an interactive, electronic, touch-sensitive garden that glows brightly upon human touch”. Described as an electroluminescent field, The Electric Garden is guaranteed to be the perfect addition to The Sherwood Forest. We are super stoked to see what the rest of the winners have in store for us.

Electric Forest 2013 is taking place in Rothbury, Michigan from June 27th-30th. To learn more about the Plug In program click here. Tickets are on sale now and moving swiftly. For more information and for the full music lineup check out our link here! We hope to see you in the Forest!!
