Even though I recently expressed some concern over the lack of promotion for music concerts and shows in Lawrence, the Diplo/Chiddy Bang/Lunice show last night at Granada drew anything but a sparse crowd. KC funkateer, Reggie B, and I cruised...

KC-based DJ/producer, Spinstyles and KC-Portland transplant, Ben Tactic (Brent Tactic's partner in crime at Think 2Wice,) recently caught my ear while going through my soundcloud dashboard (I'm getting better at it). Spinstyles took a vocal from what I believe to be Houston rap...

The KC-based Think 2Wice label just put out these soundclouders earlier this week, featuring some brand new moombah flames from the likes of DJ Archi & DJ B-Stee and Spinstyles (all KC heads and very capable producers and remixers). Spin's jam borrows...

It's not everyday that a mere local has his latest mixtape hosted and presented through the Mad Decent blog, run by taste-maker, Diplo. But the KC-based DJ/producer, Spinstyles, is not a mere anything. Commonly slept on as one of the elite DJs in the city, Spin's tracks...

KC-based beatmaker, Dan Matic, repeatedly referred to his music as "obnoxious" throughout this interview recently conducted at his home in Westport KCMO. I think he meant it in a good way, but when I personally think of the word obnoxious to describe current, "gritty"...

This Thursday at the Conspiracy Room of the Uptown Theater, Lazer Sword (LA/Berlin) will be headlining an event that should unfold with some of the heaviest, headiest beats you're going to hear for a while. Confession: I don't know much about Lazer Sword, but I do know...

I haven't seen Spin play out in KC for sometime, probably not since the Rusko show at Mosaic last summer (YIKES), but I'm sure he's still one of the nicer DJs around town. As a matter of fact, before today I hadn't heard any new tracks from Spinstyles since this one we...

Thirty of KC's premier dance music sluggers under three rooftops in the Crossroads, Christmas night. This annual party was a pretty big deal back in the day, drawing a consistent 1000+ attendees, and now the folks over at umove are bringing it back. For some promo on this...
