Digitalism


These two Germans are musical geniuses. With the release of their upcoming album “2 Hearts” they are creating lots of hype for this summer. One of the major headliners for HARD Summer, they plan on playing a live set which is bound to be spectacular. For those that do not know what the difference between a live set and a DJ set, it’s them playing mp3s versus instruments. Live sets are always so interesting and usually incredible to watch as any live band would be. Most people think that Dj’s are talentless and only know how to click buttons on the computer to make music and that anyone can do it, this is definitely not the case. After watching some live sets you should instantly realize that these guys are MUSICIANS and they know what they are doing, they aren’t computer geeks who happened to master a production program.

Their new album is something that I can’t seem to put my finger on, but not in a bad way. In fact, I am actually intrigued by the direction they chose to go with the album and the diversity it has in comparison to the majority of the electronic music being produced today. With most of the tracks having vocals, it is a much less “dance” oriented album, yet at the same time its backed with the genius of Digitalism which gives it the flare it needs to be viable on the dance floor. This new album definitely gets my seal of approval.

Here is their first single off of their new album I Love you, Dude, "2 hearts"


And a personal favorite of mine
