Tapulous

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!
