Aspiring producers need all the help they can get, so it pays to listen when a talent like Nicky Romero is talking. The Dutch sensation will be sharing tips and answers via his YouTube channel and Google+ page, so tune in at 1PM EST with your burning questions ready. His class and Q&A session will be accompanied by a live set from Vince Moogin, whose single “Love Me Right” is forthcoming on Romero’s Protocol Recordings imprint.
Update: We’ve embedded the livestream video after the break.
It’s been a while since we last heard from OWSLA label boss Skrillex. With his first original productions since “Make It Bun Dem,” Skrillex is starting off the new year with a brand new EP entitled Leaving, and it’s some of the most interesting material to come from the mind of Sonny Moore yet. The EP was released to fans last night via OWSLA’s new subscription service the Nest, and contains three brand new originals: “Leaving,” “The Reason,” and “Scary Bolly Dub.” Click past the break to listen to all three tracks, and subscribe to the Nest to receive all three originals in pristine WAV format.
Deadmau5 recently played an intimate secret show for 200 fans at the Sonos Studio in Hollywood. If you didn’t happen to be one of the lucky 200 to attend the show, you can still hear Deadmau5′s full performance if you tune into KCRW at 11:15am PT. Fans not based on the West Coast can still hear the full 90 minute mix on demand later today via KCRW’s website. Have a look at the video above and you’ll see why this is not something you want to miss.
For those of you impatiently awaiting the October 30th release date of Calvin Harris’ 18 Months album, the producer has a welcomed treat.

Make sure to check it out at the end of each day to ensure you don’t miss anything! (more…)
Continuing the trend of streaming events online, Ultra Music Festival organizers have announced that the inaugural UMF Korea will be streamed on YouTube. It’s the first UMF to ever be held in Asia, and comes on the heels of UMF Poland’s last minute cancellation. There’s no schedule of acts which will be livestreamed just yet, but considering it starts at 5AM EST / 2AM PST, there’s a good chance you won’t be watching this live in the States anyways. We’ll keep you updated as we hear more, but in the meantime, we’ve got a whole bunch of Tomorrowland livesets for you to enjoy… just saying.
It’s the final day of Tomorrowland 2012, and that means there’s just one more day of livestreaming from the festival grounds in Belgium. Today we’re treated to sets from the likes of Afrojack, Green Velvet, Nicky Romero, David Guetta, Pete Tong, and more. Of course, if you’ve been watching the stream for the past two days, you’ll know that there’s also a good bit of story-telling that comes along with the video feed. But hey, it’s Tomorrowland — they can do whatever they want.
Well, it wasn’t slated to go live until tomorrow, but we’re pleased to inform you that you can stream the entire UMF movie, Can U Feel It, online right now. All it takes is a tweet or Facebook like and you’ll be transported to see the entire one hour movie. The folks over at Ultra even provided a handy checklist to maximize your viewing party potential, and promise to send out free gear and tickets to those who tweet photos with the hashtag #CanUFeelIt. So, take a break from the sun this Saturday afternoon and get your UMF on. You know you want to.
Deadmau5 is having a pretty good week. In addition to snagging the cover of the legendary Rolling Stone magazine, he also has a new EP out in four days. As we told you when the title track was released, The Veldt EP includes four tracks, including two remixes of the Chris James-infused track and a new track called “Failbait.” Remixes on the EP come from Tommy Trash and Freeform, and we’ve been digging the TT remix since we first heard it on the Essential Mix a few weeks back. The full EP will be available on June 24th through iTunes, but you can stream it for the next 24 hours on RollingStone.com.
While the full RS interview has not hit the web just yet, some juicy tidbits have.
