Following up an incredible EDC NY performance Thomas Gold unleashes the 48th episode of his Fanfare radioshow, serving up cuts from some of big room’s most promising upstarts. The Bingo Player’s latest “Buzzcut” makes an appearance (sans Melanie Iglesias) alongside Dyro’s “Leprechauns & Unicorns” and Inpetto’s remix of “Open Your Heart” by up-and-comer Jimmy Carris. Stand out tracks include Kim Fai’s remix of Madonna’s “Poppa Don’t Preach” and Firebeatz “Wonderful” who have been taking their big room electro sound to new heights in 2013. Piecing together 18 tracks in an hour flat, Thomas delivers the jolt of adrenaline you need to make it through your Wednesday morning.
From nightclubs to day parties, to Ultra Music Festival’s megastructure and his own private Fanfare bus party, Thomas Gold’s Miami Music Week experience touched on every aspect of the unbelievable event. Even with a jam-packed performance schedule, the man best known for his effortless blends, mash-ups and stage persona played every set like it was his last. If the glow of Miami has started to fade, leaving only a faint hum in the back of your mind then let Thomas recap his experience for you and spark some nostalgia for the sunshine and synthesizers of dance music’s greatest week.
There’s just something about OneRepublic. The Colorado rock outfit seems to have secured their spot in the hearts of electronic music fans, with Sander Van Doorn, Dash Berlin, and Alesso all giving the group the remix treatment. Thomas Gold is the latest to join in, spinning the group’s “Feel Again” into a club mix brimming with festival energy. Keeping just the vocal stems and constructing a bass-heavy progressive house tune around it, Gold struck remix gold with an ideal ratio of build to singalong. The track was released a free download, so go and get your copy here.

The lush green grass of The Empire Polo Club grounds swelled with half-naked twenty-somethings, bustling and buzzing like tributaries of people cutting through the crowd, flowing forth to the each of Coachella‘s six stages. The massive tents provided little relief from the desert’s sweltering heat, but underneath the Yuma tent, where Luciano would close that evening, was an air-conditioned safe haven. For those daring enough to brave the heat, the Sahara tent presented a spread of talent, including Boys Noize and Skrillex as the tandem Dog Blood. Our first day spent in Indio was defined by the Sahara and Yuma tents – and they will likely define the rest of our stay here.
“People come here from all over the world to have fun throughout the year. So whenever I go there to play, the crowd is different which always makes it a new challenge. Also the venues in Vegas invest heavily into designing the clubs and creating a unique vibe, which is amazing. And last but not least – it’s Vegas! It’s just a special place and I’m having fun every time I go.” – Thomas Gold
