Billboard launches new EDM blog column

Billboard launched a new EDM centric blog column called 'Code' lead by Kerri Mason. She has a long history of being involved in the EDM scene dating back to the 1990s that was well documented in her personal blog post "Press Play? Hit Start". This is a savvy move on the part of Billboard and I'm looking forward to reading articles from 'Code' in the future.

When Rolling Stone gets it wrong

Credit goes to VanCityDanceNrd for finding this big mistake on the part of Rolling Stone who wrote a quick article on the Phase 2 lineup of the Ultra Music Festival:

"The festival has also added a batch of electronic up-and-comers, including Benny Benassi, Steve Aoki, Dirty South, Eric Prydz, Hardwell and more."

Whoops. With the exception of Hardwell, none of those names can be considered 'up-and-comers'.
