DLFM Artist Moby on the Tonight Show this Thursday!

Liked what you heard from Moby on the Music That Changes The World box set from the David Lynch Foundation? Well, there’s more where that came from. Moby will be performing his exclusive track Poison Tree on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, this Thursday, April 26. And, if you didn’t get your copy of the box set because they sold out on Record Store Day, you can try your local record store again — along with other retailers — after the Leno performance, as we have shipped more of these beautiful, very cool box sets out!

In addition, Moby has a new album coming out on April 30th called Destroyed: Remixed which will be available through his official online store. The talented electro-musician’s new release features a selection of previously released remixes and exclusive material, plus Moby’s brand new 30-minute-long ambient track called “All Sides Gone.”

The Destroyed: Remixed album features collaborated remixes from an array of prominent artists including, Yeasayer, Holy Ghost!, Paul van Dyk, Photek and, our favorite artist — David Lynch.

Moby was sure to return the favor this past Saturday, Record Store Day, when he posted, “David Lynch and I have swapped remixes. In other words: he did a remix for me and I did a remix for him”. Sure enough, Moby remixed the David Lynch track Noah’s Ark and what a treat!

Groundbreaking Grammys

The 54th Annual Grammy awards are this Sunday and I can’t wait. This year, Skrillex, one of my favorite EDM artists is nominated not once, but five times. Not surprisingly, he’s nominated in the Best Dance Recording category, but more impressive is he’s going up against Nicki Minaj, the Band Perry, Bon Iver, and J. Cole for the Best New Artist category.

As someone who listens to EDM almost constantly, this is an awesome thing to hear and will be even better if he wins. Although this kind of music has been around a long time, it has recently been brought into the spotlight and become more widely accepted. Skrillex being nominated five times is a huge demonstration of the growing popularity and public love of dance music.

One Down, Two to Go

Every Summer there are three major music festivals that any music lover would die to go to: Coachella, Lollapolooza, and Bonnaroo. Each festival provides an eclectic, power-packed lineup of both popular and lesser known artists. There is something for everyone at each festival, from jam bands to rap to electronic dance music. Although the 2012 year has just begun, the wildly popular summer music festival Coachella is already sold out and it won’t be too much longer before Lollapolooza and Bonnaroo are too.

The crowd at last year's Coachella (2011)

Not long after they released their star-studded lineup for 2012, which includes headliners Radiohead, the Black Keys, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, Coachella reported that all tickets were sold out. Other outstanding artists that will be performing include Florence and the Machine, Kaskade, La Roux, Arctic Monkeys, and many more.

Although Lollapolooza and Bonnaroo have yet to release their 2012 lineups, fans have much to look forward to. Judging by Lollapolooza’s lineup from last year which featured Eminem, Coldplay, Muse, the Foo Fighters, and Deadmau5, 2012′s lineup should not disappoint. For those unlucky music lovers that couldn’t get their hands on Coachella tickets in time, Lollapolooza is sure to be a worthy replacement plan.

While Bonnaroo has yet to release their 2012 lineup, last year they mixed it up a little bit with some older artists, such as Neil Young and G. Love & Special Sauce. However, Bonnaroo’s 2011 lineup still showcased many of the same artists who performed at Lollapolooza and Coachella. Eminem headlined at both Lollapolooza AND Bonnaroo!

So don’t be discouraged if you couldn’t get tickets to 2012 Coachella, try for Lollapolooza or Bonnaroo this year, you can’t go wrong.
