Kanvas King.

Boom! Internet is back up, and rollin'! Heck yea! Just in time for some dupstep coverage.

Name: Kanvas King
Genres: Electronica/House
Where to find him:

• PureVolume -  http://www.purevolume.com/KanvasKing
• Kay bro, couldn't find you anywhere else. Get with it haha.

Alrighty, so this guy here. He makes some pretty hot dupstep mixes. Original, electric (literally), and totally something that someone sober could trip over. One of those you have to hear for yourself. The best description I could give is it reminds me of old school gaming, only futurized (is futurized a word? No. But I just made it one.), and just better in general ha. He balances the perfect amount of lyrics with electric beats.

I know that dupstep is more of an "Asian" thing, at least around here anyway, but I feel like his music doesn't need to be stereotyped. One of my friends, who doesn't dig this kind of music, is actually a fan of good ol' Nathan. So open up your box, and check him out.

And totally unrelated, but I just watched the Silent Library episode with NeverShoutNever. Epicly hilarious ha. You can find it in two parts on YouTube.

Anyway, check Kanvas King out!

CHALLENGER!.

Babe mode today ladies, because this boy is SMOKIN'! (His music too, obviously. Otherwise I wouldn't be writing about him. Ha.)

Name: CHALLENGER!
Genres: Dance/Electronic(a)
Where to find him:

• Facebook -  http://www.facebook.com/challengerpwnz
• YouTube -  http://www.youtube.com/user/challengerband/feed
• MySpace -  http://www.myspace.com/CHALLENGERpwnz
• Twitter -  https://twitter.com/#!/challengerpwnz

So wow, this guy. Where to begin? His music is off the freakin' hook. It's so fresh, and like nothing that's never been done. His new song that's out - free download available until the end of the week btw! Check it out on his Facebook and YouTube profiles - is called Phil, the Mountains Look High, and is a killer combination of electronic/dance and kind of a screamo vibe. Chris (a.k.a. CHALLENGER! for those who don't pick up on that) describes his sound for his new first full length album as a sound that combines, "a lot of synchronized synths that are glitchy, bass blasters, and monster choruses to sing along too. Its hardstyle electro meets hardcore and pop." Great combination, just saying. He also told me that he is very excited to release his new album.

Not only is this guy an amazing artist, he's also very passionate, and very kind. We all know I love to comment on the actual personality of the artist, but to me that's important too. If you make killer music, but don't have a killer attitude, it kills what your music is doing... but no worries with this guy. He's cute; he's talented; he's charming.

All in all, I'd say we need to wait for the explosion after his album is released, because this guy is going big. I feel it.

MishaRecords.

First artist that I'm bringing to the world's attention: MishaRecords.

Name: MishaRecords.
Genres: Electronica/Rock/Pop
Where to find him:

• PureVolume - http://www.purevolume.com/MishaRecords
• Facebook - http://www.facebook.com/misharecords
• Twitter - https://twitter.com/#!/MishaRecords

This guy is VERY talented. He messaged me on PureVolume, the day after I made one, and asked me to check out his music.
I agreed, obviously, and let me tell you, I am so happy I did.

I'm not a music professional. Just a teenage girl with hopes of making it big in the writing world, but I can tell you right now that this guy is going places, and you better jump onto this train right now!

My favorite song that I have by him right now is probably Never Look Back from his album Semi Bright Lights. His music is a delicate balance of meaning something, being relate-able, and being something that you can jam to (hard core.. in your room.. really embarrassingly [or out loud in public. Either way. His music is on fire.]). What he has accomplished is something of intricacy. On his PureVolume profile, there is a quote from the music critic, Jake Hougaboom, that I completely agree with.

"In a time where musicians forget, or just plain can't, make an interesting album without overproducing, MishaRecords walks this line perfectly."

His voice alone is a natural talent, but the producing and writing is completely ingenious as well. Electronica always makes me a little bit nervous, because there is definitely a thing as too much electronic-sound. Not with MishaRecords, no way. Like I said: intricate, delicate, balanced.

Not only is this guy an amazing musician, he's also a really nice, down-to-earth kind of fellow, and that in society today is something of uniqueness. I was very impressed by how personable he was, and how genuine he is.

Definitely an artist to check out.
