If you haven’t yet heard of ODESZA, it’s starting to become a “Where have you been?” situation. Their ridiculously large core of fans (for their relative newness) results in sold-out venues and multiple shows in cities across the world. The duo’s wide appeal comes from their particularly original brand of downtempo electronica that is almost more alluring to those who …
NERO is an electronic music trio that seems to have come along at just the right time: in 2011 the popularity of dubstep acts like Skrillex was growing, and new varieties of electronica were gaining momentum. It was then that NERO released their debut full-length album Welcome Reality, which garnered huge success with a hybrid electro-house/dubstep/electro-rock sound and the vocals …

Madeon’s debut full-length album Adventure came out two weeks ago, although he released The City EP back in 2012 (you might recognize the title track …
MisterWives tested the waters way back (a year ago) in January 2014 with the Reflections EP and are an easy pick for one of the young bands that’s going explode on the alternative pop scene with the release just this week (February 24, 2015) of their debut album Our Own House.
