Nothing But The Beat
Love house music? Capitol Records, in collaboration with UU Cinemas & Mass EDMC/NV Concepts, will be hosting a special screening of David Guetta’s Nothing But The Beat, on Wednesday, January 25, 2012 at 8pm in HBC Gifford.
Number one house DJ and double- Grammy Award Winning David Guetta has teamed up with Burn Energy Drink (from The Coca-Cola Company) to inspire eager fans with the new movie “Nothing But The Beat.” The documentary-style film follows David on the rise from underground DJ to worldwide sensation. By fusing house and electronic music with Hip-Hop and R&B, David was able to reach an epic amount of music lovers, catapulting him into superstardom. With commentary from Will.I.Am, Kelly Rowland, Snoop Dogg, Ludacris, Taio Cruz and dance music legends Norman Cook aka Fatboy Slim, Laurent Garnier, David Morales and Pete Tong, this film brings a peek into the journey of making Nothing But The Beat while inspiring new audiences across the globe. So sit back, relax and let us introduce you to the innovative sounds, brought to you by the one and only, David Guetta.
The screening is free and open to everyone. Doors at 7:30 pm. Movie at 8 pm. There will be giveaways such as posters and wristbands. CDs, Vinyl, and two tickets to Guetta at the White Winter Tour on February 3rd at the OnCenter in Syracuse will be raffled off. Tickets are valued at ~$140.00 and are courtesy of Mass EDMC & NV Concepts!

MASS EDMC & NV Concepts, in association with Upstateshows.com and Next Generation Entertainment, presents The Winter White Tour with David Guetta, the world’s #1 DJ at The OnCenter in downtown Syracuse on February 3rd! In a fitting tribute to the rage of winter winds here on the Northeast, NV Concepts and Mass EDMC are teaming up together to put on this strictly all-white themed EDM production (including attire), which will have Guetta headline the event with support from Dada Life and R3HAB.
Syracuse is fortunate to be chosen as one of the three stops that is headlined by Guetta! Wear white and come join the EDM community at this new, but surely unforgettable EDM experience, which will most definitely lead us covered in neon, splatter and glitter!
Get your tickets here.

WERW’s Lost 2011 Recordings
One of our first interviews of the year, dj_mikaela (along with Chris from Newhouse) interviewed Xaphoon Jones of Chiddy Bang, who opened Juice Jam 2011. By recording this interview live at Juice Jam, we also unknowingly bootlegged almost 10 minutes of Avicii’s set. SO LISTEN AND RELIVE THE MAGIC.
WERW Launch Party
Syracuse University artist live recordings? YES PLEASE! Check out live sets from Friend Killers, The Vanderbuilts and Sarah Aument!
Friend Killers
The Vanderbuilts
Sarah Aument (recording starts midway through the first song. Our apologies!)
Our Head Music Director Lou caught up with Singapore electronic act The Analog Girl on her first visit to Syracuse, before she performed as part of RojiMusic’s concert series on October 14, 2011.
Dave from We Barbarians called in to Joe and Ian on Music to talk about the band, working with other musicians like Cold War Kids, moving to the Est Coast, and more. This interview took place before We Barbarians played Syracuse University with Andy Hull on Manchester Orchestra.
Throwback Video: Born Ruffians
I hope everyone is enjoying your winter vacations. While we post about our upcoming favorite songs for 2012 we must not forget about the classics. Here is a video from 2008 that is sure to have you shed your sluggish ways and get up out of your couch and boogie.
ICR: Drum and Bass for the Masses
I was in the mood for some downtempo drum n’ bass one night (kind of a paradox) when I stumbled across the work of ICR. A prolific DnB producer hailing from Hungary, ICR specializes in pairing tight drum sequences with sparse yet spacious melodies. Great for relaxing or for driving around town on a rainy night (I know from experience). Check out two of his tracks below, both taken from his 2011 release Such Unimportant Things Like Us.
