Swedish House Mafia release interactive app for final shows
For those of us who just can't seem to let the trio go, there is now a new way to experience the Mafia's final show - this time in the form of a mobile app called Lisnr. The app will allow concertgoers access to free exclusive content just by being present at SHM's final show. The goal is to expand the visuals for the Masquerade Motel in Los Angeles and the groups' two final shows at Ultra Music Festival by enhancing the viewing experience. What that means we are not entirely sure, but since most fans already have their phones out Instagramming and recording the event, a mobile application was a logical move. Axwell had this to say; ""[This] will allow us to come together with our fans for a totally unique experience. Together, as one, for one last rave!”"

Ten must see veterans at Ultra Music Festival 2013
Over the course of its two weekends, there are nearly 300 artists performing at Ultra Music Festival this year. In 2013, the festival is celebrating its 15th anniversary as dance music's most celebrated occasion and the season's highly anticipated kick off. In that period of time, the lineup has changed a lot -- not just in scope but also in sound -- but there are names that remain pillars of Miami's greatest electronic music tradition. These are names who've been at it longer than many of us have been walking and they deserve not just a tip of the hat, but also your time and attention at their impending Ultra sets. How will we know where we're going if we don't know where we've been?
