Beatport's president Lloyd Starr speaks about the future, download farms, and what EDM means Posted: 24 Jul 2014 12:00 AM PDT This year, in 2014, just as Beatport marks its 10th anniversary, Lloyd Starr, 35, has been named acting president. It's a leadership role that the former COO has been diligently working towards over his past decade with the company. You might say he's been groomed for the position. Recently, the door opened due to former CEO Matt Adell's exit last month. So, after much internal discussion, Starr has stepped in and up, and has never looked back. In a new mini-interview with leading music industry publication Billboard, Beatport's new helmer opens up about the future of the digital dance music download platform, his overarching plan to increase the organization's social media reach, their ongoing cat-and-mouse game with download farms, and the true meaning of EDM.

Kode9, Ikonika, and Taso lead Hyperdub's 10th anniversary North American tour Posted: 23 Jul 2014 01:00 PM PDT UK-based electronic tastemaker label Hyperdub has announced details about the North American leg of their ongoing 10th anniversary celebration. After releasing two 10 collections (with two more slated for release), several of the label's leading acts including imprint founder Kode9, Ikonika, Taso, DJ Spinn, and JD Earl, among others will embark on a 16-date tour this fall in September. There will be confirmed city stops in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Seattle as well as five select nights north of the border in Vancouver, Montreal, Calgary, and more.

In a new feature-length round-up, Thump runs down their top seven best electronic film soundtracks of all-time.

Catch an exclusive Electric Zoo 2014 countdown mix from Wolfpack Posted: 23 Jul 2014 09:00 AM PDT Belgian-based DJ duo Wolfpack have been smashing up the global dance music scene over the past few years.

Their current single, "Sirens" on Steve Aoki's LA-based Dim Mak imprint is another crowd-pleasing electro-banger.
