What’s that smell in the air? Glowing, bleached-white beaches, crisp blue water, and some of the most beautiful people the world has to offer? In a word: Miami.
The “S Man” himself, along with star-studded label Stealth Records, are for the first time bringing Stealth Miami to the week of WMC on Wednesday, March 21. It’s slated to be more than just a party – but a bona fide experience – and, with a lineup sure to please, this is going to be one of very few signature day parties of Miami Music Week.
Today, Stealth proudly posted that ARTY and FUNKAGENDA will officially be joining the S-Man for Roger Sanchez Presents Stealth Miami during Miami Music Week, Wednesday March 21 at the Fontainebleau Ocean Lawn.
Discerning partygoers will enjoy the posh atmosphere that the Fontainebleau Ocean Lawn has to offer, especially those wanting a breather from the jam-packed clubs of South Beach. Others will be able to take in all the sights and sounds that the party’s famous DJs are sure to have in store. Stay tuned for additional info as it becomes released over the next few weeks.
Limited presale tickets are available here, but be sure to grab them quickly, as they probably won’t make it to the end of the week.
Madonna began her half-time procession with all the necessary pomp: legions of sculpted Trojan warriors, their accouterments encrusted with gold and glitz, pulled her mammoth platform to the stage. She emerged in a golden robe, quickly shed for a plated skirt, and appeared ready to do battle.
But what Twitterverse is already exploding about is the simultaneous pairing of LMFAO and the pop queen in performance. It was almost absurd; Madonna straddling the shoulders of a zebra-clad (and similarly skirted) Redfoo, both with perfect poise. But they seem to have pulled it off. The beginnings of LMFAO’s ubiquitous “Party Rock Anthem” emerged, layered atop Madonna’s “Music” in a pop-friendly mashup.
We noted earlier that Avicii’s inclusion in the Bud Light Platinum commercial marked a paradigm shift in the way EDM artists appeared in the mainstream. Tim Bergling wouldn’t be the only EDM act the folks at Anheuser-Busch featured today. Viewers of another of Bud Light’s half-time commercials saw LMFAO featured in a similar way, in a different commercial.
“Winter will never be the same.” That’s the tagline of the coming Winter White Tour, featuring performances by David Guetta, Dada Life, R3hab, Hardwell, Alesso, Chris Lake, Bingo Players, and Dillon Francis. Longtime partners NV Concepts and Mass EDMC are making the rounds along their traditional circuit that brought Avicii to the Northeast last fall – see our review here for a refresher.
To kick things off, we’re raffling away pairs of tickets to the inaugural show at The Armory in Albany. Enter the contest and view more info after the break.
One thing the EDM cognoscenti got right was the notion of the EDM radio show. Above & Beyond have Trance Around the World, Tiesto has Club Life, Armin Van Buuren does A State of Trance, and Avicii’s got LE7ELs. Well, we’re throwing our hat into the ring with the premiere of our flagship radio show: Axis.
Featuring the latest and greatest in current and unreleased EDM — not to mention expertly mixed by our very own Jared-F — each carefully crafted episode is designed to fill that gap created by other radio shows. If you’ve been looking for a show filled with not only the tracks you’re just getting to know and love but also those unreleased gems by your favorite DJs, Axis is the answer.
We’ve started our first episode off with our (and your) favorite tracks that have come out recently. Next month, we’ll be bringing you a whole slew of surprises.
The weekend of January 20th is going to be one to be reckoned with. A city awash in talent, with Calvin Harris, Nicky Romero, and Pierce Fulton making their way to Pacha New York, partygoers are going to have some difficult decisionmaking ahead of them. DA is stepping in to make that choice a bit easier, and with Porter Robinson, Zeds Dead, Bassjackers, and Codes performing at ANOMALY‘s Terminal 5 event, we don’t think we’ll have to say much ourselves. We’re giving away pairs of tickets – contest closes Wednesday, January 18th.
Among all the movers and shakers putting on shows this New Year’s eve in New York City, Avicii and his backers at Pacha New York and At Night delivered the flashiest. Clad in something other than his signature plaid for just one night, Tim Bergling delivered a peformance that, like his choice of wardrobe, left some things at home and brought others to the table.
Tom Tyger, a lesser-known but equally talented companion of both Swanky Tunes and Hard Rock Sofa, released today the latest installment of his solid Kronos District podcast. It’s chock full of the latest hits with unreleased gems nestled everywhere in between. High points include the Swanky Tunes remix of Dada Life’s “Happy Violence” and the Peace Treaty re-work of “Go.”
Looking for a place to be this holiday season? Pacha New York is doing it right with is 6th anniversary bonanza. Featuring a star-studded lineup beginning with Tiesto (tonight) and topping things off with a yet-to-be-announced “huge guest”, it’s an example of just how much talent the megaclub can handle.
It’s sometimes tough to coordinate when and where song previews are to hit the market – with Afrojack offering his latest epic “Lionheart” this week, the sheer cacophony of all the buzz is bound to drown out some deservedly good releases. Not so with Brazilian duo Felguk and their upcoming “Bassive” EP. It features a playful and memorable synth intro that leads into a drop easily in the leagues of the kind of work even R3hab has been putting out lately. It will be released exclusively on Beatport on November 22nd, with other retailers to follow.
Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike continue their unstoppable “Smash the House” USA tour, and in case you missed their last two shows, we’ve got the video recaps right here of their Vegas and Miami Beach appearances. In the videos you really get a glimpse of what it’s like to travel with the DJs, and what’s more, just how unique any given show will always be.
