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...

When I returned from Coachella in 2007, I remember having a conversation with a friend as to whether or not the people who attended that festival were "spoiled rich kids" just there to have fun or if it was in fact a testament to the great lengths people will go to in...

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...

Skeet Skeet has probably a gabillion remixes under his belt, which you can probably find easily if you ask DJ Google. I'm also anxious to see Spin as well, who's been playing predominantly in P&L for the past couple of years. This'll be a good one. ...
