Somebody (feat. Elsa Li Jones) – StoneBridge

NEW YORK (RichTVX.com) – While others fiddle around with a loop or two and title the track “TR-909” or  “TB-303”, the legendary StoneBridge, the undisputed leader, the global DJ celeb, one who manages to stay credible, get dancefloors steamed up wherever he goes, and raid charts all over makes real music. StoneBridge was introduced to Elsa Li Jones through a common music connection in LA. The combination of Elsa Li’s rock background and StoneBridge’s funky house beats come together and form the perfect mix of both sounds. Who can discount the amazing contribution StoneBridge has made to the music industry during his colourful career? Having been responsible for innumerable house anthems, the Rich TVX News Network finally confirmed the long-running rumours over StoneBridge’s new anthem ‘Somebody’. From start to finish, it’s a mellow, head-nodding, vibed-out performance, with lots of attention to detail. In a brief statement, StoneBridge, the Grammy Nominated DJ and producer from Stockholm, has just announced details of the full package of ‘Somebody’, which comes in three flavours kicking off with the Main Mix which is a true crowd pleaser. There was really no way it could fail, as the StoneBridge UK Mix is giving you bass driven deeper vibes. Pick of the bunch is the StoneBridge & Lil’ Joey´s Ibiza Dub remix of ‘Somebody’, the hoover anthem with the monster percussion and hard-house beats. A great big anthemic party tune, it’s a feel- good funky house tune with all the generic bass lines, house drum rolls and vocals by Elsa Li Jones. One of the biggest anthems for StoneBridge, this rises up like a phoenix, with one of the most intricately arranged layers of meticulously chosen elements, those cunning melodies, those wild pitch licks, that drastic drum roll and that uplifting rush, and is destined to be totally huge. For us, this is a real Ibiza tune. This track is really brilliant. It’s incredible.

Electronic Dance Music

Electronic dance music (EDM), also known as dance music, club music, or simply dance,^[1] is a broad range of percussive electronic music genres made largely for nightclubs, raves, and festivals. It is generally produced for playback by DJs who create seamless selections of tracks, called a DJ mix, by segueing from one recording to another.^[2] EDM producers also perform their music live in a concert or festival setting in what is sometimes called a live PA.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, following the emergence of raving, pirate radio, PartyCrews, underground festivals and an upsurge of interest in club culture, EDM achieved mainstream popularity in Europe. In the United States, however, acceptance of rave culture was not universal outside of regional scenes in New York City, Florida, the Midwest, and California; although both electro and Chicago house music were influential both in Europe and the United States, mainstream media outlets and the record industry remained openly hostile to it. There was also a perceived association between EDM and drug culture, which led governments at state and city levels to enact laws and policies intended to halt the spread of rave culture.^[3]

Subsequently, in the new millennium, the popularity of EDM increased globally, particularly in the United States and Australia. By the early 2010s, the term “electronic dance music” and the initialism “EDM” was being pushed by the American music industry and music press in an effort to rebrand American rave culture.^[3] Despite the industry’s attempt to create a specific EDM brand, the initialism remains in use as an umbrella term for multiple genres, including dance-pop, house, techno and electro, as well as their respective subgenres.^[4][5][6]
