Winter Music Conference Panel – To Blog or Not To Blog

 

Friday, March 28th
12:00 PM
Room: A-208
Blogs started out as web logs where a single person posted their thoughts and opinions. As the center of the online EDM world, they have grown into self-sufficient communities with features, interviews, reviews, and large social media followings. To spread the word about releases and tours, there is no better or quicker avenue than blogs. With this kind of influence comes a great deal of responsibility for the writers – freedom of bias, curation, credibility, etc. This panel will cover these issues, along with what the future will hold with forthcoming consolidation, online media, upcoming trends, and international influences.

SONG OF THE DAY: Five Knives – The Rising

Living in Nashville, the trio Five Knives have been on my radar with their incredibly strong string of tracks – Vive Le Roi, Messin’ With My Mind, and The Future. Their sound blends the more aggressive EDM genres – electro, chainsaw, trap, and drum & bass with a rock vibe and the powerful rasp of lead singer Anna Worstell. Imagine a mix of Knife Party, Die Antwoord, Krewella, and Republica to get an idea. Listening to their tracks, it should come as no surprise that they caught a big buzz at SxSW 2013 and have been playing bigger events around the country ever since. Their breakout single “The Rising” is starting to make even more noise in clubs thanks to a plethora of remixes. With so many to choose from, it’s hard to decide on a favorite, but the mixes by Xilent, Dave Aud?, and Damn Kids find their way into my playlists the most often.
