Since the emergence of downloading as an alternative to fans consuming music through traditional methods, certain people within the music industry have become twitchy. One of the most notable examples from this time is the legal debate between Metallica and Napster. The root of the dispute was that Metallica (particularly the delightful Lars Ulrich) were losing out on revenue when their music was being illegally downloaded.
The time of year where we throw caution to the wind and leave even the tiniest shred of actual musical taste at the door is once again upon us. That’s right; it’s Eurovision time!

We’re constantly being told that listening to loud music is bad for our hearing and let’s be honest, very few of us ever actually listen and turn the music down. New findings by the World Health Organization say that 1.1 billion young people are permanently damaging their hearing by listening to “too much, too loudly” and suggest that we should only be listening to music for one hour a day in order to minimise damage.
No matter how much of a hardened connoisseur of music you are, it’s difficult to ignore that trends come along and have an impact on the industry, whether it be a small ripple in the pool something more enduring. At the moment, the whole concept of twerking is extremely prominent in pop culture with Miley Cyrus bringing it to the forefront of our minds so that it has become more than just a dance move that one artist attempts to pull off. Brave any nightclub on a Saturday night and you will see plenty of people who think that they can also manage it. The move has become ingrained in our minds.
Plans have been announced to create a global release day for albums and singles to try and combat piracy.

The biggest event in the British music industry calendar is upon us once again. The Brit Awards bring together the very best and brightest names on the British pop music scene and over the years have showcased soon of weirdest and most wonderful collaborations.
The composer and producer of digital dance music known as David Smith has released his debut single, “Sensation.” The track represents Smith's electronica masterpiece for the start of the 2015 year and showcases him as one of Europe's most promising up-and-coming digital musicians by a long stretch. With an extremely strong repertoire available for listening at his official website and his debut single, “Sensation” available for purchase and download around the world, things are sure looking up for this surprise EDM genius from the Kingdom of Belgium.
David Smith (who has an English name but natively speaks French) cites as main artistic influences many of heroes of the DJ subculture, including David Guetta, Calvin Harris, Avicii, and Martin Garrix.
Smith writes about his start in music, “I like the styles of David Guetta, Calvin Harris, Martin Garrix and others like them. And one day, I said to myself: 'I can make good tracks like theirs!' and for one year I made an album in my little home studio.”
It was a humble beginning, but clearly the start of something more than a simple hobby. The music fan's first listen of “Sensation” is not likely to be his last. In fact, the second and third listen are probably to follow immediately afterward. From here, curiosity leads the listener to Smith's other tracks, of which there are already enough to fill an LP record. But the artist is taking it slow.
“Step by step…” Smith writes. “I'm starting with my first single. I have to get credibility and make my name known before launching my first album. I have to finalize some tracks with good singers and lyricists. Even if it's my first album, I want a perfect one.”
This perfectionist's attitude shines through in his debut single, “Sensation.” Its production is sparkling clean, its composition naturally consistent and with an upbeat, intuitive flow. Its hooks are unshakable and its four-and-a-half minutes go by in a flash. The 'replay' button beckons.
“I hope my singles and my future debut album will give good 'sensations' to listeners, as well as good beats at events and nightclubs all over the world,” writes David Smith of his new song's overall theme. “I hope people who hear it will say, 'Damn, that sounds good!'”
Smith goes on to describe the emotional effects he crafts his music to inspire.
“Just pump up the volume and let the beat overwhelm you,” he writes. “One day, I'd like to see thousands of dancers overwhelmed. It's my dream, and I think that with a lot of work all dreams could come true when we really want them.”
His message to the world is simple.
“Nothing ventured, nothing gained! Look at me, I'm starting from nowhere but here I am.”
“Sensation” by David Smith is available online worldwide. Fans of EDM and electronica should definitely get in early. Very early.
