Karmin Interview 2014

From YouTube performances that went viral to Top 40 crossover success, Karmin have built a rabid fanbase with their unique cover versions and catchy electronic dance-pop songs. The duo of Amy Renee Heidemann and Nicholas Louis Noona recently released their debut full-length album ‘Pulses,’ which features collaborations with 3Oh3, The Messengers, and The Elev3n. Most importantly, they are the lead writers on every song. As dynamic and energetic as their music is, their live performance show elevates it to a higher level. I interviewed them when they played Nashville with Bonnie McKee and they were gracious enough to be my guinea pigs as I experimented with a new video setup.

Interview conducted April 2014. Produced in conjunction with Fusion TV..

SONG OF THE DAY: David Heartbreak ft Leftside – Rebel

If you haven’t heard yet about David Heartbreak, you soon will. Mixing dubstep and reggae, the producer has constructed a unique sound that is fresh yet familiar. On his new track “Rebel,” you can hear the influence of Skrillex and Diplo as well as a profoundly strong ragga influence. Leftside’s vocals are chopped and spliced with such pristine severity that it feels like he is channeling BT doing nano/stutter edits circa “Somnambulist.” The track is being labelled as “future dub,” so it’s only a matter of time until there is a MOS compilation called “Best of Future Dub” as well a track popping out featuring Lil’ Jon or Pitbull.
