Dancing Astronaut’s Most Anticipated Electronic Albums of Fall 2013
As many as 14 full-length albums will hit the digital shelves over the next two months, running the gamut from veterans Kaskade, The Bloody Beetroots and Claude VonStroke to newcomers Krewella and Angger Dimas. This fall's unprecedented streak of electronic album releases coalesced with EDM's advancing digital sales should kindle mainstream headway, the right way. Just ask Disclosure what happens when a fire starts to burn... Here are the most anticipated albums of fall 2013.
Electric Zoo ’13 Artist Spotlight: Justin Martin and Eats Everything
The Dirtybird crew has come a long way since they've hatched. The San Francisco-based label, with Claude VonStroke at the helm, has created a fan base of devotees others can only yearn for. This year the clan took up a residency in Ibiza, taking their marquee brand to global pastures. With acts like Justin Martin and Eats Everything as focal points, their brand of spunky house music continues to forget ahead. At this year's Electric Zoo Festival, the three will unite at the Sunday School Grove, with a solo set from VonStroke and an exciting back-to-back session from Justin Martin and Eats Everything.
Hard Summer Sunday: Brodinski, Gesaffelstein, Dillon Francis, and Dirtybird highlight superlative closing day
Hordes of Los Angelenos returned for the second and final day of HARD Summer 2013 -- ready for another twelve hours of frolicking in cool tents, woodchipped stage grounds, and dusty lawns areas of the Los Angeles State Historic Park. For diehard fans of Ed Banger Records and Dirtybird, the two labels owned their own stages on Sunday (on the Summer Stage and Underground Tent, respectively). Bromance fiends got sets from both Brodinski and Gessafelstein, and those prone towards the "HARDer" sounds soaked in the grinding basslines of Flosstradamus, Dillon Francis, Baauer, and Clockwork.

GoldFFinch – 11th Hour (Original Mix)
Last time we checked in with the Belgian-born GoldFFinch, they were just beginning to catch the ears of the dirtybird camp -- remixing one of the tracks off French Fries' Space Alarm EP back in early November. The 11th Hour EP marks their first release under the San Francisco label, and much like fellow newcomers French Fries, they're taking the concept of bass music in a slightly different direction.
