Laidback Luke is known very well for his attention to fans on Twitter, and a recent, mind-boggling question has him responding in a guest blog for Huffington Post; ”Did you forget how to produce or something?” Luke’s affirmative answer is no, but he defends himself to critics in length and attests that the negative backlash in unwarranted.
“Giving my experience in production, it’s very unlikely for me to have forgotten how to produce,” Luke responded to the mindless question before he reminded followers that he’s been producing for over twenty years and has completed over 3,000 tracks. While many brush off criticism that strikes as ignorant, the wholehearted DJ goes into depth to assure fans that he is on top of his game and not to be concerned.

Earlier today the New York Post reported that Pharrell had allegedly made statements regarding Daft Punk’s future touring plans. According to Page Six, the “Get Lucky” collaborator made mention of hitting the road with Daft Punk “next year.” These statements, however, were quickly refuted by Daft Punk’s team in an official statement to Huffington Post citing that “no tour is planned.”
It is still plausible that Pharrell accidentally leaked information regarding the duo’s upcoming tour. We’re still confident that Daft Punk will be taking the stage sooner rather than later, especially with Random Access Memories slated for a May release.

The M Machine go on, a bit more romantically, to describe the “magic” in digital music production. (more…)

Steve Angello recently spoke to the Huffington Post, and the oft-candid dance music icon offered a refreshingly honest take on the state of things — a growing trend these days. “Every city and promoter in the world wants to have a festival, and thinks they can,” says Steve. “But they don’t know how to.” That’s just one of the choice quotes from the interview, which is surprisingly revealing and gives an intimate look at the last-bearded SHM member. Steve affirms his grip on the remaining authenticity of dance music is nothing less than uncompromising and gives us sincere responses on topics such as big business, the state of SHM, the art of DJing, and more.
