Music: deliberation in its most creative form.
A medium inhabited by a unique balance between melody and rhythm, an aid in our ever existing pursuit to find meaning in this thing called life. Since the beginning of man, universal disparity has created a tear in our ability to keep the peace. Time passes, but our inability to find resolve continues to devastate our existence. Wars are fought over every facet of our functional lives. Religion, race, political factions, nationalities, ethnicities, you name it. It seems that our greatest challenge in life is to simply coexist.
And that’s where we come in.
It’s simple: No human cultural distinction can change the fact that music in it’s purest form sets us free. The world around us is changing, and with change comes an ethical responsibility to do right by your objective reality.
This is our time, it’s the age that we live in.
Embrace the times. Embrace the music. We are Rager Onions.

Honorable Mentions
deadmau5 as #25? Come on mang.
He’s been producing at a ridiculous rate the past 6 months. While they haven’t all been great, his work ethic in the studio was deserving of a high ranking. Here’s my favorite Deadmau5 as of late:https://soundcloud.com/fuckmylife/my-pet-coelacanth
Above & Beyond is without a doubt the greatest trance group of all time. Hell, Tri-State was the album that plunged me into EDM.
That being said, they’ve had ONE release this year outside of their acoustic show. One. I just can’t wrap my head around them at #1 for 2013.
feed me calamari tuesday
What a joke lmao…tiesto doesn’t even produce his music. And avicii has only levels lol..skillrex ha you’re funny. TOP should be Prydz 2. Zedd 3.Madeon for 2013. Best all time is and always be deadmau5.
Avicii only had one of the best albums of the year with True
No Tristam ? Come on it’s fucking awesome.

Everyday, we come across people of great talents who we seek to promote however, there’s none like this young 20 years old Kieron Mc Kean Williams. Kieron is an aspiring EDM producer. There’s a lot more I can say about this young man however, as we are focusing on his musical talent, I will let his beats and remixes do the talking. Kindly take a listen to his original beats and remixes below. Great talent can be found in the most strangest areas and occasions.
