Listen to this: What I'm Feeling Vol. 1 by Ottawa's own Lowpass

/

Local Ottawa DJ Lowpass has been consistently delivering the goods every Monday where he spins at the iconic Zaphod Beeblebrox bar for over the past year. Each Monday he plays what he feels like playing, without any genre boundaries, and instead focuses on taking the dance floor and himself on a musical journey. To reflect to credo, Lowpass (Real name Ryan King), has decided to start a new mix series called "What I'm Feeling", a compilation of new releases that he's into and will be released on a monthly basis. Give it a listen because this mix is certified fresh:

Deadmau5 defends EDM

/

Just in case you haven't read the news, Deadmau5 did us all a favour this week by defending electronic dance music against fellow Canadian and Arcade Fire front man Win Butler when he inferred that EDM artists aren't actual musicians at Coachella.

P.S. Win Butler should get to know his Coachella history because the lineups have always included a large amount of electronic dance music artists since it's inception back in 1999.
