I am proud to announce my first CMJ showcase presented by Puma with Mike Posner and Big Sean headlining. Also on the bill are some of my favorite artists, both new and old, including Theophilus London, 2AM Club, Camp Lo, Brandon Hines, Pill, Freddie Gibbs, Shawn Chrystopher with DJ’s Ski Beatz (yes THAT Ski) and Apple Juice Kid. I am dropping a mixtape next week for this as well and will be announcing other surprises between now and the showcase. BUY TIX ASAP, THIS WILL SELL OUT FAST. 100 CMJ badges will be accepted for this show.
Mick Boogie and Terry Urban curated this remix project, which remixes up-and-coming UK group The Noisettes with Kanye West’s 808s and Heartbreak.
If you haven’t already, check out Mick and Terry’s blog, The Press Play Show. Shouts to their writer Chris Truth, who was rockin’ at the Mike Posner show in Austin last weekend.

If this is half as good as the first one, it will be amazing
A new short film by Yi Zhou
Inspired to Gogols short story entitled The Nose from the Petersburg tales, Yi have written her latest short film about the absurd story of the loss of an ear. The ear is actually the key element of the film, shot in RED and partly to be made in 3d animation.
Throughout the film, the ear and inner ear as a whole turn themselves into an EarBrige as they get crossed by a bridge. The EarBridge is part of a public project proposal for Baku, Azerbaijan that includes a number of important international contemporary artists.
FEATURING PHARRELL WILLIAMS
MUSIC BY ENNIO MORRICONE

Activision Blizzard has dropped the list of all DJ Hero’s block-rockin’ beats that players will be mixin’ for mad points. The full catalog on the disc consists of 93 tracks covering several genres of music — the kids (both young and old) aren’t likely to be disappointed.
DJ Hero releases on October 27 and October 30 in North America and Europe, respectively. Expect DLC tracks soon after (and maybe a sequel soon after that). Check out the full scratchable set list after the break and let us know what you think.
