SoundGarden Hall is at it again. Closing in on their one year anniversary as an EDM venue, SoundGarden Hall has had their share of epic lineups, and this one is no exception. The up and coming 17 year-old duo, Riggi & Piros, is set to take the stage with the ever-fantastic Philly Native and 1/4 of The Phillionaires, Victor Niglio, and the duo taking 2013 by storm, Dzeko & Torres. For those of you who've never heard of one or more of these artists, FIX IT! Anthony Riggi and James Piros, appropriately named Riggi and Piros, broke out just a couple months ago with their killer remix of Martin Garrix's Animals, and have played at some of the biggest venues in the tri-state area [......]

Last Friday night we swung over to Philadelphia's LiT Ultrabar for a night of craziness with Manufactured Superstars. However, this soon quickly changed for us when we took to the booth and met up with local up-and-comers Terzetto, a party-hard trio of producer/DJs that are ready to take their hold on the electronic scene. With the release of their remix of "Cups" by Anna Kendrick (read about it here), they immediately caught my attention with the ability to take folk/pop and throw a spin on it that is club and festival friendly. Definitely something that really caught my attention. I was anxious to get to this show because I wanted to check these three out in action.We hung back in the booth and observed as Vinny Geo & Rone, two-thirds of the trio, took to the decks, bouncing back and forth between 20-30 minute sets. The first thing I noticed was their one on, one off style of spinning. I asked Vinny what this was all about, and he quickly grinned and told me "we each have our own genre that we like to focus on, so we take turns to keep the crowd guessing." I took note of this and it was immediately apparent to me. Like, whoa. Rone hopped on the mixer once again and began to blast out minimal electro and complextro, followed by Vinny tearing up a high-energy deep house and progressive tech set, something that I truly respected (it ain't easy keeping up pace with tech house).

Whether it's with a three-thousand dollar DSLR or the simplicity of an iPhone, we all have some way of capturing those most memorable and not so memorable moments in our lives. In the ever-growing electronic dance music scene, photography and the ability to share your work via social media has risen to new heights. But when everyone and their mother is armed with some means of photographic recording, images often loose meaning through shear number. So what makes those singular "great" images great?  Sure, being first always helps, but it's the uniqueness, quality of work, and passion that will get you the greatest insight and access to the world around you. And that's what Jon Brandon Cruz and Alexander Jacob (Cruz + Jacob) did. These two gentleman have been using their passion and skill for the couple of years to shoot some of the biggest name in the EDM industry..
