"Toulouse", which became a mainstay on the Beatport Top Ten for a significant period of time.[3] Recognizing his talent, MTV named him an EDM artist to watch in 2012.[7] His popularity has risen in recent years, and he has attained a joint residency with David Guetta at party hot spot Ibiza for the summer of 2012.

As Romero has become more popular, he has become the target of criticism from underground music producers and underground music satire web articles; subjects include his actual abilities and contribution to the electronic music canon. Critics have targeted his style, his appearance and his music-production abilities. Such suggestions describes elements of Romero's abilities as brief and insufficient. Romero has since rebuffed the suggestions as minor,

This year Romero expanded his output by creating a music production masterclass for aspiring DJs and producers.

This weekend at Risefoof Top it is EDM DJ Ricky Romero.

38 Special
@Houston Arena Theatre

Friday 9/3/2021 7:00 PM

This weekend at Houston's Arena Theatre it will be an 80's throwback. After more than four decades together, 38 Special continues to bring a signature blast of Southern Rock to over 100 cities a year. And at each and every show, thousands of audience members are amazed by the explosive power of the band's performance.

Their many Gold and Platinum album awards stand in testament to the endurance of a legendary powerhouse.

With sales in excess of 20 million, most associate the band with their arena-rock pop smashes, “Hold On Loosely,” “Rockin’ Into the Night,” “Caught Up in You,” “Fantasy Girl,” “If I’d Been the One,” “Back Where You Belong,” “Chain Lightnin’,” “Second Chance,” and more – Timeless hits that remain a staple at radio, immediately recognizable from the first opening chord, and paving the way to their present-day touring regimen.

Guitarist/vocalist DON BARNES says it's all about maintaining that intensity in their live shows. “We never wanted to be one of those bands that had maybe gotten a little soft or complacent over the years. We're a team, and it's always been kind of an unspoken rule that we don’t slack up, we stack up. We go out there every night to win.”

Since 1976, the band has released more than 15 albums. And from the start, they’ve toured relentlessly, bringing their signature brand of ‘muscle and melody’ to fans worldwide. It is that steely determination that lives on in the hearts of these ‘Wild-Eyed Southern Boys.'

For 38 Special, being onstage is a celebration of camaraderie and brotherhood, a precision unit bringing the dedication and honesty to a long history of classic songs, as well as surprisingly fresh new material. The current lineup includes Guitarist/vocalist DON BARNES, keyboardist/vocalist BOBBY CAPPS, drummer GARY MOFFATT, bassist BARRY DUNAWAY and guitarist JERRY RIGGS.

Barnes adds, "This music keeps our wheels on the road. We're a band that's tried to stay honest with what has driven us over the years. We started out with nothing but bold determination to make our own history and to endure. Looking back now, it has been our greatest pride to have persevered and attained that level of success and longevity. For us, it's the ultimate validation.”


“The magic's still there,” adds Barnes. "It's an emotional high for us to keep 'bringing it' after all these years. When those lights go down and we all walk up those steps to the stage and hear that crowd roar, it’s a real rush to the head. It feels like we're getting ready to strap ourselves in and it just takes off from there."

Since 2019, the band's lineup has consisted of Don Barnes, keyboardist/vocalist Bobby Capps, drummer Gary Moffatt, Dunaway, and guitarist Jerry Riggs. This leaves Don Barnes as the only original member, although Barnes was absent from the band from 1987 until 1992.

The University of Southern California's Annenberg Media Center recently featured the Director and owner of Karmagraphy Entertainment, Kavita Rao on its digital news website, Neon Tommy.com,  "Dance is beauty, escape and survival. This is the story of one dance group; from the group’s creation by a young, female entrepreneur to the stories of dancers struggling with their own journeys toward success in a tough industry. This is the story of Karmagraphy."

"The dancers of Karmagraphy are undoubtedly the main reason behind its success, but dance isn’t the easiest career choice. Dancers like Arody Trujillo acknowledge that it takes a lot of hard work, but said it is impossible to do anything else." “When I dance, it’s just a feeling of there’s nothing that can stop you," said Dancer Arody."

"While it’s a tough industry, Angela Bergamo says that the opportunity to dance consistently as part of Karmagraphy is a big boost to her confidence and performance abilities.
