Talib Kweli Joins Pretty Lights for Jazzfest by Nite in New Orleans

A few weeks ago, we announced Pretty Lights would be performing with a live band including Preservation Hall Jazz Horns, Eric Krasno with support by Hot 8 Brass Band for a unique one-night-only experience for Jazzfest by Nite on Saturday, April 26th. Ushering the album-inspired Color Map of the Sun tour to Champions Square, it’s very fitting that, Talib Kweli, one of the two featured artists on the album, would join Pretty Lights for the special night.

Making his underground debut in 1995, Talib Kweli is deeply rooted and respected in the hip hop community. Though it is his incredibly large and critically acclaimed discography that intrigues fans first, Talib is much more than just an extremely talented MC. He’s an entrepreneur for Hip Hop For Respect, label frontman for his own Javotti Media, and an educator in political activism.

Known for his intelligent and thought-provoking rhymes, Talib’s talent was far from wasted on Pretty Lights’ “Around The Block.” Rich in hazy, atmospheric sonics, “Around The Block” has the power to sooth you and its relaxed, yet worked glitch hop beat has the power to make you dance.

Take a '#Selfie' with The Chainsmokers and Disco Donnie Presents

Though we know them for the Billboard-topping, international mega-hit “Selfie,” Alex Pall and Andrew Taggart of The Chainsmokers have come from very humble beginnings. Pall had been DJ for Sweet 16s and Bah Mitzahs since he was 12 and Taggart was a music business major turned producer who didn’t believe his hobby could merit a career until he won a contest that gave him the opportunity to open for Steve Aoki – little did he know Aoki would be the one to sign his future hit.

The inspiration behind “#Selfie” was fairly simple, “Alex had the idea of making a song like ‘Eat Sleep Rave Repeat,’ where this guy is ranting and seems like he is on an acid trip,” says Taggart. “We thought, let’s do something like that but make it a girl saying incoherent stupid things while in the bathroom of a nightclub, then she will say, ‘let me take a selfie,’ and it’ll drop.” Finishing the song in 30-minutes, after the two posted the track on SoundCloud, their friend Oliver Luckett, head of social media start-up theAudience, passed it along to Steve Aoki and subsequently, The Chainsmokers made their debut on Dim Mak Records.

“‘#Selfie’ has opened a lot of doors for us,” says Pall. “It has set up collaborations that I can’t mention yet but I’m really excited about. The best is yet to come, so buckle up!” Buckle up we shall! Having just signed a record deal with Republic Records, The Chainsmokers are in the middle of a U.S. tour and will later be releasing an album in the near future.

Join us for a #Selfie this Summer as Disco Donnie Presents brings The Chainsmokers to a city near you:

GTA and Disco Donnie Presents are Taking Over Florida

Though Matt van Toth and Julio Mejia of GTA haven’t been in the scene for long, they know exactly how to steal the show with their unique blend of funky rhythms. After meeting each other through a mutual friend online, the Miami natives uncovered an instant chemistry and immediately went to work in the studio, “[We knew collaborating would be a good idea] the first couple of times we met up and made some tracks. Literally, the first song we made got picked up by Afrojack for his label, which didn’t get released because we couldn’t get the sample cleared, but that was literally the first track we made together.”

Since their official debut with “It’s Time,” the two have gone on to release music on Diplo’s Mad Decent and off-shoot project Jeffree’s, Laidback Luke’s Mixmash, A-Trak’s Fool’s Gold Records, and Steve Angello’s Size Records – and they are just getting started.

Unashamed by their outright refusal to be pigeonholed in any one category, GTA’s originals, remixes, mixes, and live sets range from trap, house, moombahton, electro, booty bass, salsa, big room, and anything they can put their spin on. With their popular mixtape series-turned-tour, “Death to Genres,” GTA promises to get all the bodies moving no matter the tempo; no matter the genre.

This coming May, the Miami natives are set to invade their home state with a three-day GTA Florida Takeover tour. Touching down in Jacksonville, Orlando, and Tampa, boy oh boy are we in for a good time. Join us on our partnering dates as GTA gives the finger to genres:
