PleaseDontStare & RockTheDub Present Face Melting Material
You should know BenHa Meen from a number of spots, either as the man behind PleaseDontStare.com or the DJ for The Combat Jack Show. He's been bitten by that dubstep bug! He wanted to put together a mix of dubstep tracks, especially tracks that remixed r&b, soul, and rock tracks, and I helped him with some tracks. This mix is the result. You may have even heard him spin part of this mix on Combat's show a few months back. Everyone from The Weeknd and Frank Sinatra to Ellie Goulding and Future get flipped in this explosive, face-melting mix. It's officially face-melting material. Shouts to the mighty Theotis Jones on the sick artwork!

DAD: The Revenge of the Rave: Why 2013 is the Year EDM Goes Mainstream
Introducing Do Androids Dance
Last summer, I saw Complex EIC Noah Callahan-Bever tweeting about EDM writers. I threw my name in the hat for two reasons: one, because I figured "why the fuck not?!", and two, I was kind of tipsy (it was literally like 10 minutes after an episode of Monday Night Raw). What I DIDN'T expect was the pouring of support and props from people I've interacted with over the years, name I won't be out here dropping because I don't play those games, but people like YN and that crew knew the score.
Now, the thing is, no one knew that Complex was starting an EDM blog. I figured they wanted to expand the Music channel with more dance music, but when I got word that there was going to be a legit dance music blog that they owned and operated? It's one of those things where I know it's right up my alley, but I don't want to psych myself out. LONG STORY SHORT, we discussed particulars and I ended up getting the gig...of running the EDM blog. Which debuts today.
YOU DON'T KNOW HOW LONG I'VE WANTED TO JUST BLURT THIS INFORMATION TO ALL OF YOU. THIS PAST WEEKEND HAS BEEN CRAZY WITH ME KNOWING THE SITE IS RIGHT THERE BUT I CAN'T LET THE BLOG OUT OF THE BAG.
Pardon my excitement. In any case, head on over to DoAndroidsDance.com, where I'll be covering EDM and how it relates to the musical world we live in on the regular. Check out what Complex has to say about it, and spread the word. Follow us on twitter and Facebook, and tell a friend to tell a friend.
Shouts to everyone at Complex, including NCB, OJ, Jacob, Joe, Jack, and the whole crew, especially Julian and Cedar (#superFuchsia). Props to my wife and family for always believing in me. Huge respect to the entire Pigeons & Planes crew, readers and fans for putting up with my EDM posts as well. Shouts to everyone who fucks with anything I've been doing, or anyone who's ever given me a chance to cover music. It's been a long road to now, and we're just getting started!
