In 2011 we saw EDM finally blow up in the States, to the relief of some and the horror of others the scene is finally here. 2011 was a blur for EDM in the States it seems. Everything seemed to be thrown at listeners at once, a lot of this music was well, made for the masses. It was a scene that was exploding and there was a lot to catch up on and a lot of money to be made, so it was to no surprise by some of the crappy music we have heard out of the EDM machine here in America. In this barrage of music thrown around it was easy to over step some great stuff.
I was guilty of this charge, at missing some great stuff, because...well there was just far to much to take in at once. In 2011 Boys Will Be Boys came together to release the EP "We Rock." A collaboration between Tiesto, Angger Dimas, & Showtek.
Angger Dimas is a Dj and producer from Jakarta, Indonesia and opened for Tiesto in Bangkok in 2010, which lead to their collaborative efforts and also has teamed up with Steve Aoki to produce the single "Steve Jobs". Showtek is a Dutch Hard Dance Duo. You can hear their influence in the "We Rock" track on the EP.
The EP only has three tracks and was released in June of 2011. This collaboration at the beginning drew attention that another super group might be forming, like SHM, but since the release of the EP it seems that the idea of a super group may have died. Even though that idea could still find new life again as this EP does go hard and you can hear the workings of all three Djs in the songs to make some great hard dance and some other groovy beats to dance to. Below you will find the three songs off the EP and another for Anger Dimas's single with Steve Aoki.
P.S. The write up about EDC is coming, I am just trying to get photos and videos together for you guys, thank you for the patience. :)
