On New Year's Eve (and again on New Year's Day) we aired our annual Hot 107.9 Year End Countdown, showcasing the 25 biggest songs that we played on Hot 107.9 in 2012. By the time we finished putting the list together, we all agreed that these were definitely the 25 songs that "defined" us as a station in 2012.
EDM is where it's at on New Year's Eve this year. Skrillex, Calvin Harris, Afrojack, Avicii and Moby are among the electronic artists ringing in 2013 with live performances across the country.
The BUKU Music + Art Project is returning for their second year (March 8-9), and today, the initial BUKU 2013 lineup was announced. Staying true to the flavor that we saw in this music festival's 2012 inaugural edition, BUKU is continuing the trend of bringing talent from both the electronic and hip hop sides of music - and they are bringing it well.
Is there a feud brewing between Lady Gaga and lanky Scottish DJ Calvin Harris (who has collaborated with Rihanna, Ne-Yo and Florence Welch)? There could be, as Harris did say that he turned down the chance to work with Lady Gaga because he didn't like her songs. Ouch!
Ellie Goulding's boyfriend Skrillex is now rubbing off on her in the professional realm. The British singer, who also adopted her BF's half-shaved hairstyle, has partnered with EDM star Calvin Harris for 'I Need Your Love' from his upcoming album '18 Months.' It's quite the dance jam.
Good news for those of us who like to dance! Calvin Harris is working on a new record called ’18 Months.’
The duo’s tune titled ‘Let’s Go ‘has been a hit all over the Internet and music scene as of late. However, now it’s been reintroduced as a remix by the one and only Cash Cash.
The new video for the Calvin Harris and Ne-Yo collaboration ‘Let’s Go‘ depicts the performers arriving at a music festival for a late-night performance of their electro-house track in front of a rabid group of fans.
As the weeks go on, Calvin Harris' song seems to get bigger and bigger. I've seen the club blow up when I play this record, but at the same time 'Feel So Close' can easily be a relaxation song at the end of a night.
Rihanna, who’s working on her forthcoming sixth studio album, is reportedly collaborating on a new single with 27-year-old Scottish DJ/singer/producer Calvin Harris.
