Deadmau5 continued his trolling ways last night at the DOTA 2 International Championships. He was tabbed for a surprise 20-minute performance for the thousands of gaming faithful who had gathered at Key Arena in Seattle and millions more watching online. It all seemed to be going great as deadmau5 played some of his bigger tunes and remixes found on '5 Years Of Mau5' and then he decided to cap off the set with a hard cut to Avicii "Levels," a track that has become the symbol of the modern commercial EDM era that Zimmerman hates so much and then ran off the stage into the locker rooms.

Taylor Swift Loves Future's 'DS2,' But Brings Out Ciara & Russell Wilson

That's right -- Taylor Swift has officially joined the #FutureHive. Future's DS2 recently debuted at No. 1, ahead of Swift's 1989, and the "Trap N*ggas" rapper was elated just to be mentioned in the same sentence as the world's biggest pop star.

'Jive Talkin'" and Beyond: The Bee Gees No. 1's of The '70s

It was a dark day for fans of rock music on August 9, 1975, as the Bee Gees' "Jive Talkin'" would be announced as the no. 1 song on the Hot 100. It was the group's second no. 1 hit in its then-14-year career but it was the first that could be classified as "disco." Things would only get better/worse (depending on who you are) from there on out, as the Gibb brothers would become the biggest names in the genre's short history, releasing another seven no. 1 hits before 1980 struck. These are those tracks.
Prince Compares Record Contracts To Slavery, Defends TIDAL

In a private meeting with 10 journalists at his Minneapolis studio on Saturday night, Prince discussed some of the hot topics on his mind in the music industry. No phones or recording devices where allowed in the studio at all, so only a few quotes managed to escape from the event, but the one that has stuck out the most was Prince's advice to young artists looking to grow. He urges them to not seek out a record contract, but instead stay independent and free because "record contracts are just like - I'm gonna say the word - slavery." "I would tell any young artist... don't sign," Prince continued. He also took the time to defend Jay Z & TIDAL, who he has just signed a deal with.

Indie starlet Lana Del Rey promised the world that her second single from Honeymoon would drop on Monday. Thanks to the magic of the Internet, "High By The Beach" was leaked ahead of schedule is already in heavy rotation. Much like the track of her fourth studio album, her latest pop ballad is being described as "sultry" by critics like Stereogum. A lyrical snapshot of a plausibly fictional romance (and its subsequent end), "High By The Beach" holds nothing back, avoiding coyness in favor of brash lines nestled between synth like "Don't need your money, money / To get me what I want / Lights camera action / I'll do it on my own." A definite anthem against co-dependence and lesser than significant others, this New York native's forthcoming release, which is due out in September, will undboutedly double her already massive following.
