Pioneer’s poster boy and master of the CDJ turntable James Zabiela is back with his first solo release since early 2010. James is known for his eclectic selection of music and his ability to restructure other peoples music with ease, but rarely does he release a track of his own. Although his releases are far and few between, when he does release a track its nothing but pure genius. When listening to this track you can really hear his multiple influences ranging from Electronica all the way down to Techno, and the blend of all these styles yields a very unique and enjoyable track to listen to. Zabiela’s mixing and mastering of this track are of the utmost quality. Take a listen, you can hear how clean and crisp each sound is.

Wednesday is usually the ‘stagnant’ day. Meaning, it is the day you wish you could get through. Whether you are still in school or in the work force you want Friday to near and the weekend to start. However, this Wednesday is going to be one to never forget and one you will never want to end. Take a look at the events below and turn ‘stagnant’ day into a day filled with music, dancing, adult beverages, and charming the opposite sex (or whatever floats your boat).

Greek-Swedish DJ/Producer king Steve Angello swept the masses at Hollywood, California’s famed Avalon Nightclub this past Saturday evening as part of his Size Matters solo tour. As one-third of the dance DJ supergroup Swedish House Mafia, Angello is renowned globally for his highly energetic CDJ performances and eye-popping stage visuals. Saturday’s show was no exception.
The Dancing Astronaut crew arrived shortly after midnight to find a line packed with hundreds of people wrapped around Vine street. Some had tickets, some did not. But it didn’t matter: at this point, the club had hit capacity and the doormen refused to allow anyone in until guests started to leave. This is not the first incident of this sort; just one month ago, Swedish duo Dada Life‘s much-hyped show at Avalon was shut down by the Fire Marshal and riot police. Fortunately, we were still able to enter through Steve’s list, but many concertgoers either left or were forced to wait multiple hours to gain entry.
Steve Angello took the stage shortly after 1am, donning a backwards baseball cap and a simple black t-shirt. A giant crystallized 3D sign reading “SIZE” adorned the DJ booth–a reference to Steve Angello’s wildly successful EDM label Size Records. Accompanying him on stage were two female dancers dressed in fluorescent orange and lime green-striped sweats, moving along to each successive hit that Angello dropped for the masses.
Steve’s wife joined him for the majority of his set, as he dropped some of 2010′s most quintessential house tunes: Avicii’s “Romance,” Miike Snow’s “Silvia” mixed against Pryda’s “Pjanoo,” “Valodja,” and to much applause, his remix of Pendulum’s “The Island” (alongside Max Vangeli and AN21). My personal favorite mix of the night was the unexpected blend of Kid Cudi’s “Day N Nite” over Faithless’s classic “Insomnia.”
French super-producer and DJ David Guetta invaded Hollywood, California this past Saturday, November 20, playing a 90-minute set for a sold out audience. The event, presented by Insomniac Events, featured opening sets by Joaquin Bamaca and the DJ duo Manufactured Superstars.
The venue did not truly hit capacity until just a few minutes before Guetta took the DJ throne. He opened with his two biggest American pop hits at the moment, “Gettin’ Over You” and the Flo Rida-assisted “Club Can’t Handle Me.” After receiving thunderous applause from an undoubtedly young audience, Guetta transformed his set to include more minimal and tech house offerings, many of which were unreleased and reinvigorated excitement for future Guetta releases.
Fortunately, David’s set was more Ibiza than Coachella. While he primarily span Top 40 records at the Indio, CA-based music festival, this set featured his signature LED-embedded and laser-pointing dancing robots, as well as surprise guests you’d be lucky to encounter in the Spanish party island, let alone Hollywood, California: half of the Black Eyed Peas.
will.I.am and fellow MC apl.de.ap joined Guetta on stage for a combined hour as they span energetic electro hip-hop beats, including the Black Eyed Peas’ latest house-infused single, “The Time (Dirty Bit).” Perhaps the standout hit of the night, however, was will.I.am’s closing number: Daft Punk‘s “One More Time” leading into the massive club smash, “One” by Swedish House Mafia.
On what marked the final night of his American tour, David Guetta thanked the crowd for their support and expressed his love for LA. The crowd left the venue with smiles on their faces. For Guetta this meant yet another club performance under his belt further confirming his reign as the King of Dance Music.
David Guetta‘s re-release of 2009′s wildly popular electro-pop album One Love, aptly titled One More Love, hits stores December 7, 2010. It is available for pre-order at Amazon.com. For more information on David Guetta, check out his official web site and Twitter account.
