Hunter's #1 Radio Station

MIDNIGHT CONSPIRACY on Ears 2 The Ground Radio!

Midnight Conspiracy will be at the Station during Ears 2 The Ground Radio today, hosted by Valentine! Tune in from 5-7 PM for Bass and Chatter!

“You are all innocent. The Shepard has begun to slaughter the sheep,” is an excerpt from Midnight Conspiracy’s performance at North Coast Music Festival. The show included some theatrics such as a narrated storyline during a genre blurring set of electro, dubstep and house, some live instrumentation over an unreleased track fittingly called “The Eye”, and some scantily clad military bondage girls unleashing sparks of fire into the sky.

So what has Midnight Conspiracy been up to besides turning their sets into a mini-freak show? If you follow their Facebook, a member was kidnapped by the illuminati while the others were busy rocking it out at Lollapalooza and Ultra Music Festival. They’re in the middle of building a 14-foot tall LED sculpture in the shape of their “Eye of Providence” logo to watch over patrons at their shows. So it’s nice of them to take time from these extracurriculars to release their Discord EP along with a teaser video that shows them rocking it out like there’s no tomorrow, because in their minds the world is ending tomorrow.

SAZON BOOYA will be today’s guest on Ears 2 The Ground Radio, hosted by Valentine!

Tune in from 5-7 PM to hear bass and chatter from this year’s hottest Moombahton duo.

Moombaton production & DJ two-piece Sazon Booya (click here) made up of NYC natives Mr.Vega & DJ SAV, have been making substantial waves across the blogosphere with their original moombahton productions since the beginning of 2011, and they’ve received countless nods of respect from top tier tastemakers from around the globe ever since.Sazon Booya debuted their first track “IIuvia” via moombahton creator Dave Nada’s soundcloud and website, to much success; instantly gaining play support from Munchi, Heartbreak, DJ Sabo, Obeyah, Skrillex, Boyfriend, Fellow and of course Dave Nada himself. Sazon Booya continued making news-worthy moves by dropping the first ever Moombahton video for their single “La Bomba” which no-less zealously premiered on their friend Skrillex’s Facebook page shared by over 1.7 million fans. With over 17k views to the video, they followed up on July 4th, 2011 with their 7-track-deep debut EP titled “La Bomba”. The “La Bomba” EP soared as far as #14 on Beatport’s top 100, placing among the likes of Zedd, Swedish House Mafia, Afrojack, Feed Me, Crookers, Mord Fustang and more. Sazon Booya’s latest project “Moonlight” went straight to #4 on Beatport’s Top 100 in less than 7 days. They released the project in conjunction with a US tour that reached 12 cities along the east coast, mid-west and west coast.

Aside from their unhindered determination, the key to Sazon’s big moves in such a short amount of time is their ability to seamlessly blend different contrasting sounds and rich audio flavors, while maintaining particular sensitivity to integrating familiar strokes and engaging vocal samples. Whether they’re hitting the more traditional Cumbia mid tempo or re-rubbing popular electro house originals to their own stylings, with endless approaches to sound in between, the Sazon Booya trademark simply cannot be pinpointed to a single signature note. With their unique aptitude for intergenre traversability, Sazon Booya have successfully demonstrated the very essence of the word “Sazon” itself, countless times over in their work; as exhibited in their distinctive and ever-capricious catalogue of original & remix productions.

Between dropping original club-ready moombahton/moombahcore singles such as “Chorizo”, “Sucia Bailar”, and “Mis Armas” and their remixes of DJ Melo x Pickster, Drake, AC x Dell x Udachi, among others, Sazon Booya have released three volumes of their “Midnight Moombah Sessions” compilations, that brilliantly showcase their softer more sensual moombahsoul/moombahgroove side. The Sazon pair and the various facets of their unique brand of sound have been featured on a number of the EDM world’s most influential outlets includingMixMag, BBC Radio 1’s “In The VIP” mix, MTV.com, Mad Decent, Moombahton.com, Generation Bass, Vacay Wave, Scatterblog, among many more. Most recently they officially remixed Adele’s “Set Fire To The Rain” through a deal with Mad Decent & Sony/Universal and it became the highest selling/most popular song on the remix release.

Between countless marathon studio sessions and miscellaneous high-profile video projects, Sazon Booya have traveled the states and parts of Europe playing with top acts such as Laidback Luke, Benny Benassi, Skrillex, Zedd, Nadastrom, Porter Robinson, Munchi and more; as well as on a majority of the Moombahton Massive dates, playing amongst every established name in the Moombah realm.

In 2011 they racked up massive frequent flyer miles by performing on more than a dozen dates across North America on their Moonlight Tour with Brent Tactic, NMEZEE, Cam Jus, Billy The Gent, Nadastrom, Digitalism, Benzona and more. Also while MOTHERSHIP TOUR, spearheaded by Skrillex, perfroming at the after parties joined by industry heavy weights, 12th Planet, Foreign Beggars, Nadastrom, and more.

Make sure to check out their show at Pacha on February 1st where they will play with Zedd and Skrillex!

DJ SEGA (Mad Decent) on Ears 2 The Ground Radio, Monday 12/5/011 1-3PM
Hosted by Valentine

Catch a special glimpse into Sega’s two EP drops these past two months, as well an incredible forthcoming third album to be released next month!

At 24 years old, Robert Taylor Jr. espouses a knowledge of and enthusiasm for the finer points of music better than heads twice his age. Taylor’s father DJ Brother Rob raised him on classic soul, and his obsession with music grew from there. “I love every genre, from classical to heavy metal,” he beams. “I understand it and love it all. If you see me without my headphones, then I’m going through something and there’s a problem.”

He used to hold residency with quite a young black teenage following at Jamz Roller Skating Center and at Pinnacle Nightclub during the summers, both with DJ Dee Square. Taylor is known as one of Philly’s most respected “party music” DJs.

As a producer his stock has exploded on the scene with his club remixes of “Woo Hah!”, “Last Resort”, and around 100 other tracks; made only for himself prior to a career. Sega is a man with a mission, “I just want people to hear my music and feel whatever bad situation they’re in either doesn’t exist or won’t be a problem for long. When you dance and hear music that makes you move, you get a feeling that it’s gonna be all right.”
At first, Sega was merely a creative wizard. Taking songs we knew in the most non-club setting and riddling them with a hail of drum and bass patterns. However, something great has happened to Sega. He has developed his style yet further, and is applying his trademark intensity to dubstep, electro and pretty much anything in his path. Toddla T, Donaeo, Dr. Dre, Diplo, Major Lazer, Rye Rye, Young Chris, and Caspa have all recently been remixed by the boy turned man who dares to be king.

Influenced by a slew of recent remixes involving popular European bass and dubstep tracks alongside the same Top 40 material familiar to the work of many northern based club DJs, Sega has finally matured as a professional. He’s become a recognized name both nationally and internationally, and recently cemented himself as a headline talent with the most talked about DJ sets of the Mad Decent Block Parties in Philadelphia and New York City, and an Australian tour last year that is still widely discussed on the continent. In both the northern and southern hemisphere Sega has set a precedent for people demanding more.

The one thing about this man is you have to see him live and in person. All of his sets vary by selection of about 99% his own productions. His broad selection of his own music collection takes you on a journey within your own subconscious. The energy he brings is sometimes even unbearable to the average soul there to experience all the remixes he takes time to compose himself. There’s even been rumors of amnesia occurring the morning after seeing him spin.

Sega’s mastery of unique sampling over the hardest of breaks and creating deliriously fun tracks is what makes him one of the more inventive and most important disc jockeys on the planet. His intellectual quotient is far higher than you give a man credit for who took the time to sample Quagmire from Family Guy, Bill Nye the Science Guy, or even the current top selling game, Angry Birds. Sega just wants people to dance, and imagines a universe and landscape where there’s nothing better or more pressing to just get down. On his initial Mad Decent Records full length compilation New Jack Philly, the 80s and 90s cultural explosion harnessed on record ensures that not only will you get down, but you’ll be so intrigued and amazed that you’ll stay down with Sega’s cause forever.

He recently mixed and produced half of Rye Rye’s highly anticipated ”RYEot PowRR” mixtape. He’s also released a six song mini-mixtape collection called ”The DJ Sega’s Sixer Series” and went further and is now currently releasing free EPs online for the world to have and openly blast!

“ I was browsing the flagcast on Radioflag (one of the best places I’ve found to discover great new music), and a DJ from WHCS in New York by the name of Matt Josephson, said he was going to be interviewing singer/songwriter Janet LaBelle. Intrigued, I decided to tune in. I didn’t know what to expect from Janet, but I’ve heard a couple of Matt’s previous interviews on his show, The Warehouse, and just knew I wouldn’t be let down.
