One of Moombahton’s brightest stars at the moment, Dillon Francis, had a 25 minute mix featured on Flux Pavilion’s BBC Radio 1 takeover on Saturday and he’s giving it to all of his fans for free. The mix features several original productions from Dillon along with remixes he did for artists such as Chase and Status, Toddla T, and CCS. He also had a world premiere of his newest track, “IDGAFOS,” forthcoming on Mad Decent. We’ve seen Dillon a few times now and it was a solid short mix with a bunch of tracks you would expect in a Dillon Francis set, along with some unreleased bangers you can expect to hear more of in the near future. Check out the tracklist after the break.
In case you aren’t familiar with Creamfields, it is a large dance music festival held yearly in Daresbury Park in Cheshire (England), right outside of Liverpool over the August Bank Holiday weekend. This is the festival’s fourth year as a camping event, and it was a huge success. Other Creamfields festivals have been held in wide variety of other countries such as United Arab Emirates, Argentina, Spain, Malta, Ireland, Mexico,Czech, Peru, Brazil, and Poland. Pete Tong and BBC Radio 1 decided to choose individual sets to record and broadcast live for a special 6-hour Essential Mix selection. Last Friday, BBC Radio 1 broadcasted its special extended Essential Mix show showcasing sets from Eric Prydz, Eddie Halliwell, A Trak, Jack Beats and Radio 1′s own Judge Jules recorded at Creamfields. Over 50,000 people were in attendance to see over 200 DJs and live acts play over three full on days and nights. We were lucky enough to find the download links and have full tracklistings for you with a bunch of exclusive and unreleased tracks yet to come.
SiriusXM was kind enough to broadcast some of the best sets from Electric Zoo 2011, and of course the internet-pros of the world are here to bring you the rips. House4DJ is back at it, offering up the goods, with all of Day 1 and 2′s best sets, including headliner David Guetta, along with the likes of Ferry Corsten, Sander Van Doorn, Mat Zo, Carl Cox, Moby, and many more. Stay tuned for much more coverage from the epic three day festival, but for now you can tide yourself over by listening to the livesets below.
Update: Hardwell just officially posted his set to his Soundcloud. Awesome!
You guys really liked when we shared the Sensation White sets from Belgium back in July, so we’re back with another set of ‘em from London’s edition. House4DJ has all the rips from the all-white affair, including sets from Martin Solveig, Sander Van Doorn, Joris Voorn, and Fedde Le Grand among others. Sander’s Sensation set from last time around was pretty damn good, and a quick look at all the tracklists reveals that there’s quite a bit of music to be enjoyed here. Head over to the via link below to get your downloading on, and be sure to shout out your fave in the comments.
When you ask most people in Boston if they’ve heard “Timebomb,” “Dirty Talk,” or “Till Tonight” they’ll usually identify them as “techno songs.” Ask Laidback Luke about the Boston scene, and even he will admit that his genre of choice isn’t the most popular, “Boston is not a primary market, to be honest.”
Let’s face it: the EDM scene in Boston is almost nonexistent. With the exception of the occasional Duck Sauce drop at Tequilla Rain on Lansdowne St, it’s pretty unusual to have an act like Luke roll through town — but he did last Wednesday night, and we were there to capture the action.
Pre-scandal Tiger Woods was one of the most memorable athletes of our era. The tournaments he entered were easily more marketable, as he had this mystique about him that just attracted people. Everyone wanted him to win – especially the PGA who needed him to for monetary reasons. Same thing happened when Michael Jordan came out of a tunnel in the mid 90′s. MJ jerseys are still abundant and his shoeline is a best seller. What does this have to do with Avicii you ask? Respect. Avicii is the current MJ/Tiger of the current EDM era. At EDC this year, when Avicii was performing on the main stage it was just as crowded as when the Swedish House Mafia was playing. The only difference is – there are THREE of them and only one of Avicii.
Sensation White is one of the most unbelievable music festivals in the world, taking place each year in Amsterdam, one of the coolest countries in the world. We’ve just been tipped on a SoundCloud link that has a bunch of the headline sets from the all-white affair, including ones from Afrojack, AN21 & Max Vangeli, Sander Van Doorn, and Martin Solveig. Hit the SoundCloud link to get your download on… but do so quickly, because there’s no word on how long these will last. We’ve embedded a couple of our favorites after the break.
PS: If anyone can ID the track at minute 51 of Afrojack’s set, or the “Louder Than Words” remix that comes after it, we’ll give you a cookie.
Alvaro’s new mix series just released it’s second installment. If you want a solid mix full of brand new electro house dance floor-ready tunes, then take advantage of this free download.
If you aren’t one of the lucky 250,000 folks braving the heat out in Vegas, that doesn’t mean you can’t re-live it like you were there. House4DJ has posted many of our favorite sets from the massive festival, courtesy of Electric Area. There are almost too many to choose from, but we suggest starting with some Roger Sanchez, Manufactured Superstars, Cosmic Gate, and Martin Solveig. That should keep you occupied until the Day 3 sets hit tomorrow. Got a favorite set? Let us know in the comments.
