Hammering out banger after banger from their latest EP — Skinny Jeans, Fat Bass — electronic/post-hardcore outfit, Caramel Carmela, drop a ferocious new music video for their most recent single, “Two McFlys With The Same Gun.” The song and video showcase the Denver-based band’s musical prowess with the merging of two entirely unique genres. In the matter of seconds, an EDM (Electronic Dance Music) inspired trance beat can transform into full fledged guitar-driven warfare — somewhat like ATB meets Slipknot.

Lead vocalist, Jack Roberts, kicks off the video with a slew of savage howls, all full of much malice and vitriol, “This is treason/ I gave you my heart.” Roberts forces the audience to feel his bitter, hostile feelings towards a former love, before a slowly building collaboration of electro synth and autotune-ridden vocal patches, crescendos, kicking the song back into high-octane madness.

Make sure you check out the video for “Two McFlys With One Gun” below; you can also grab a copy of their EP, Skinny Jeans, Fat Bass, on iTunes right now.

Movin’ Units: Velcro City Records

Jason Schlosky has long had a thing for hooks and loops. Velcro City Records, the dance music label he founded with DJ Hero (no relation to the video game of the same name), benefits from nostalgia value associated with the patented “zipperless zipper” system invented by Swiss engineer George de Mestral. Hooks and loops, an idea de Mestral ganked from Mother Nature (burdock burrs, specifically), are the functional foundation for the popular textile technology. They play a similarly essential role in the creation of electronic music. Where would techno and its related electronica genres be without hooks and loops?

303’s Master Mix: DJ Mu$a

Mu$a is a master of aural kung fu. Two full decades behind the decks tend to facilitate that kind of skill level. Fittingly, Bruce Lee is one of his biggest influences. Lee once advised “Be like water making its way through cracks”; Mu$a follows Lee's counsel to a tee, perpetually filling the specific needs of each dance-floor he encounters. Versatility enables him to play everything from hip hop to dubstep, but also makes him difficult to pigeonhole.
