If you’re a Tap Tap party-person, you are truly living in a golden age. Right this second, you can plug a 1/8th-inch line into your iPhone/Touch, launch Tap Tap Revenge, and literally throw down the sickest dance party while you rock your way to the top of the standings. Can the floorboards survive your Taptastic house-party mega-mix? Let’s see…You can warm it up with some Lady Gaga to get the crowd, roll that into some Jason Derulo, and follow up with that Mike Posner joint. Then kick it back in high with Ke$ha and Flo Rida, and keep it going with Taio Cruz and a little T.I. YIKES, I wanna go to this party!

And now, ladies and gentlemen, we are slipping you the secret weapon. There will come a point when the party reaches its crescendo and achieves full throw-down status, when the crowd will stand with baited breath, waiting to see if you blow the off the mother, or turn into DJ Trainwreck. And that’s the exact moment you drop “EVACUATE THE DANCEFLOOR” by CASCADA. The place will go nuts, guaranteed.

The titular track from Cascada’s third studio album, “Evacuate the Dancefloor” is nothing short of a global phenomenon. It has topped charts all around the world, and helped this German eurodance group sell over 14 million copies of their three records. Formed in 2004 by singer Natalie Horler along with DJ’s Manian and Yanou, Cascada is not resting on their success. They have just released the blazing hot “Pyromania,” another block-rocking jam that is part of the brand-new CASCADA PREMIUM TRACK-PACK, along with “Evacuate the Dancefloor.”

So if you’re ready to get this party started right, and get it started quickly, then you know what to do: Get yourself some Cascada, and get it on!

Who? New Politics

What? Yeah Yeah Yeah, from their upcoming debut album on RCA Records.

Why? Why, you ask? Well, because there’s always room for a brain-scattering, amp-stressing, neighbors-banging-on-the-wall rock track in Tap Tap Revenge. “Yeah Yeah Yeah,” the breakout song from South-By-Southwest buzz band NEW POLITICS, came crashing into our music department, jumped up on the desk, and demanded to be this week’s free download. And when a song has that kind of immediate energy and urgency, you either get behind it or run for your life.

OK, I Love It. Who Are These Guys? New Politics is David Boys, Soren H, and Paul Amaliel, three guys from Copenhagen who unintentionally formed the band to enter a radio station’s songwriting competition. Having been writing music together for 3 years for various solo projects with little forward movement, the group was on the verge of hanging it up when they casually made the decision to submit a song to the Danish National Radio P3’s “Career Cannon” contest.

Theirs was picked as a top winner, and once this fearsome trio brought their reckless, cathartic, and engaging live show to the stage, all heck broke loose (or since they are Danish, we should say all herring broke loose). The response to their passionate performance was immediate, and the band began booking festivals and shows all over Europe. After signing with RCA Records, they set their sights on achieving American success, and made the decision to relocate to the epicenter of hip, Williamsburg, Brooklyn, where they are putting the finishing touches on their debut album.

AWESOME! What do I do now? First, head over to www.newpoliticsrock.com, where you check out their videos and tour dates, and pick up a copy of the song from iTunes or Amazon. Then, you rock out with reckless abandon as you tap to “Yeah Yeah Yeah” in the crazy-cool NEW POLITICS CONTEST!

The New Politics Contest

This week, one Grand Prize winner gets the an awesome Fender guitar signed by the band!!! Five runner up winners get a copy of their self-titled debut album on CD!

How to win: Download and play New Politics’ “Yeah Yeah Yeah” in Tap Tap Revenge 3. Each score you submit above 100,000 points gets you one entry into the contest. You can play on any difficulty you want — as long as your final score is OVER 100,000 points. At the end of the contest, we’ll throw all the entries into a hat and draw the winner.

The contest runs from Friday, June 18th at 12:01 AM until Sunday, June 20th at 11:59 PM Pacific Time. You must play “Yeah Yeah Yeah” in Tap Tap Revenge 3, during the contest period for entry. To make sure scores submit, play on a solid internet connection. For more details click here. Apple is not a sponsor of this contest.

ARE YOU READY? It’s been nearly 2 years since the audio-wizards in N*E*R*D dropped their last alt/rock/funk bomb on the world, and now we’re all jonesing to get blown up again!

You know whenever Pharrell and Chad take a break from their other job as the wildly successful, genre-defining production duo The Neptunes for some serious N*E*R*D action, the scene is about to get an electric blast of dope beats and deep hooks.

Confession Time: How many of you out there have ever read someone’s diary? This week’s featured artist TINO COURY did, and he’s spilling all the sweet secrets in the FREE new Tap Tap Revenge track DIARY! The up-and-coming singer/songwriter/producer, who taught himself to play guitar from a Blink-182 songbook, poured his heart into this pop-perfect song, and came up with a catchy combination of emotional storytelling and big beats to rock your body!

“My influences come from so many different places, whether it’s the things I’ve gone through in my own relationships, a film that sparks an idea that clicks, or something that a friend has experienced that I can relate to,” Coury says of his song topics. “I don’t try to force it, though. I wait until the inspiration comes to me. I have to feel it in order to write. In the end, for me, it’s about telling a story.”

We always thought they were out there. Waiting silently, biding their time, exercising their fingers for the moment they knew would one day come. And on that fateful Thursday, when we announced our partnership with Metal Blade Records, the mighty Tap Tap Metal Mob bum-rushed their touchscreens with a fury and ferocity that we had hardly anticipated. To appease these maniacal masters of the Extreme tracks, we are excited to have 2 brand-new songs from Metal Blade for this week’s free featured downloads!

For 25 years, GWAR has been Earth’s only openly extraterrestrial band, as well its sickest, most destructive, and most apocalyptic. Behold their brain-splattering new track “Let Us Slay” from the new album Lust In Space. It rocks SO hard, we may have put our entire species in jeopardy by unleashing it in Tap Tap Revenge. When it comes to all-out mutant metal, remember: GWAR did it first, and GWAR does it best. www.gwar.net

As I Lay Dying have allowed us to give out their brand-new song “Beyond Our Suffering” from the eagerly-anticipated album The Powerless Rise, out on May 11th. Do you think you can handle tapping to it? From the psychotic, snake-charming guitar line to the drum beats that hit you like a heart attack, the full frontal scream of AILD proves that modern metal is only getting better. By delivering their music with a power and urgency that has put them at the top of the metalcore scene, As I Lay Dying has become one of today’s most buzzed-about bands. www.asilaydying.com
