While EDM is our bread and butter on the Hot Six, I’ve been adding more tracks from indie, electro and new wave sounds. With that, I bring you Fashions — no, not Fashions, the 80s British new wave band but rather a Brooklyn based trio formed earlier this year, that sounds part Cut Copy, part M83, [...]
I’m excited that I’ll be interviewing a rising star this weekend, Ken Loi, right after his performance at Rosebar in Washington DC on October 20th. I first fell in love with his sound when I heard All it Takes on BPM XM satellite radio over the summer. Ken has originals released on Musical Freedom (Tiësto’s label), Dim Mak [...]
Hi everyone, it’s been a busy end of the summer for me with trips around the country every weekend. I’m back to the grind, but still living a passionate life every day and not just for the weekends. Monday is the start of a week of opportunity to make something work out. To that end, [...]
It’s Friday 7-27, which means the weekend is here, and it’s time to celebrate….cause today’s my birthday! I’m so excited to spend tonight with a group of my closest friends at the 9:30 club to see one of my favorite DJs, RAC for the All Things Gold Anniversary Party. It’s going to be a wild dance [...]
We at The Hot Six love to promote local DJs with awesome original sounds. Artists, who we feel you should get to know and love just like the big names.

If everyone has that positive mentality, think of [...]
Today, house music is yours. I don’t know if you heard, but Breakstone about to set on a journey of a lifetime — a musical pilgrimage if you will — to the Balearic island of IBIZA. Last year I went on the same unforgettable pilgrimage that every reader should embark on once in his/her life. [...]
I was traveling for work yesterday so I didn’t have a chance to share with you a BOMB track from no one else but my brother….take it as a HOT TUESDAY to uplift your morning. The Naked and Famous is a New Zealand post-punk band and Young Blood was their debut track and most popular single. [...]
I don’t know about you, but I easily get sick of what’s overplayed in life. Boys who are all talk, politicians who are all talk, bosses who are not creative…the boring and the routine. Ugh. What I especially get sick of are radio stations that overplay the same trite songs. —I mean, can’t Katy Perry come out with a track that doesn’t sound like [...]
Gotta keep this simple because work keeps piling up!! In moments like this, when it’s 5:30 and that does not mean the day is over, I need a fun, fresh song to keep me sane. Classixx is a duo from LA, and I fell in love with them when they performed at the underground hip U [...]
