Super8 & Tab dropped sensational new single ‘True Love’ (feat. Envy Monroe)

Super8 & Tab

For artistic creativity to truly flourish, change is an unavoidable necessity. When Finnish trance icons Super8 & Tab made the move to Armada Music, the shock transition turned out some of their most electrifying tracks to date – ‘Cosmo’, ‘Falling Into You’ and the immense Beatport #1 juggernaut ‘Mega’.

It was a move that ultimately led to the release of their third studio album ‘Reformation’, with Part 1 available to pre-order and set for release on February 23rd.

The long player sees the pair finetune their craft with jaw dropping precision, encapsulating the classic essence of trance music while bringing in new sounds and techniques honed and perfected over a decade’s work deep in the world’s best studios.

Tracks like Part 1’s ‘Seconds Away‘, Armin-favourite ‘Pressure’, ‘Cosmo’, the goliath ‘Mega’ and ‘Falling Into You’, with Jonny Rose on vocals, not only showcase Janne Mansnerus and Miika Eloranta’s relentless pursuit of musical integrity and their innate ability to produce beautiful music, but also highlight their place driving the current shift in trance towards more euphoric, melodic and vocal-led compositions.

“‘Reformation’ has been about keeping that forward momentum going,” Janne says. “We’ve tried to break old habits, bringing new elements to the music and how we work in the studio. We have a new label and a new team of people working on our team. This all creates a whole new vibe.”

Nowhere is that more evident than in new single ‘True Love’, out for worldwide release today. Featuring Sweden’s Envy Monroe on the top line, the track is a triumphant tour de force in exhilaration, a ‘hands in the air’ monster that dives down into thundering bass sections, climbs the sides of expansive synth arpeggios, soars across delicately syncopating keyboards and Monroe’s vocal, rushes alongside driving percussion.

No wonder Armin van Buuren chose to premiere the single on his ASOT radio show this week, marking yet another Super8 & Tab single the Dutch legend has thrown his full weight behind.

“With so much evolution and change within Super8 & Tab, it’s hard not to feel a strong sense of anticipation,” Miika reflects. “Everything feels so exciting again to me. It feels like it did back in the days when we were releasing our first tracks. It’s time to take that excitement on tour and to the clubs and really see it developing into new dimensions.

LIVE REVIEW: Svdden Death, Crono, and Alien Fuel throw down heavy performance at District N9ne!

By

As far as EDM scenes go, Philadelphia has always managed to bring through some of the filthiest dub acts from across the coast.

This city has also seen of the best-come ups in regards to local talent these past few years as well. This past weekend’s Vicious show, sponsored by Unlocked Presents, combined the best of those two groups into one memorable show.

Opening the night were local acts Fvgmvnt (Chris May), Luke Luka, Crono, and Alien Fuel. Fvgmvnt warmed up the crowd and went b2b with fellow DJ Luke Luka, getting things started right with their grime and trap-influenced beats. Up after those guys were DJ Crono (Luis Cruz), who revved things up a notch with his wonked up DnB fused tracks.

After Cruz followed an out of this world duo known as Alien Fuel. Producers Sam Steinert and Nicole Centeno serve as the two masterminds behind this great group, and together they just about tore D9 down with their slew of remixes. On top of it all, Nicole even threw in her drumming skills throughout the set, adding a kickass touch to the whole performance.

Finally, Svdden Death (Danny Howland), took the stage, and dove right into one of the heaviest bass sets that I’ve witnessed in a long time. While Howland didn’t have too much to say to the Philly crowd, he made up for it tenfold with his stunning visuals and neck break worthy drops.

With more tour stops scheduled for the next few months, Svdden Death is definitely one producer you will want to keep your eyes out for as he makes waves across the dubstep scene and beyond.

Thieves grab over $6,000 worth of DJ gear from this event!

dj gear stolen

As reported previously, over $6,000 worth of gear was stolen at The XX’s afterparty in Sydney this past weekend.

Hosted by local label Siberia Records, the ‘S3cret d00f part Deux’ event was hosted at a secret location after The XX’s show at The Domain on Saturday night. The party featured bandmembers Jamie Smith and Romy Madley Croft DJing along with Warpaint’s Stella Mozgawa and Jagwar Ma’s Jono Ma.

While the celebrations were going down, someone, or multiple people, managed to take off with around $6,000 worth of gear, including decks, headphones, lights, and a mixer.

Organizers of S3cret d00f part Deux released this statement via their facebook page:

“THANKS SO MUCH FOR COMING LAST NIGHT. ONE OF THE BEST!! SMALL PROBLEM THO.. In the early hours of this morning (around 6.30am) someone STOLE our CDJ’S, MIXER, HEADPHONES AND LIGHTS 🙁 over $6000 of equipment. It was a pretty much free party (we sold 10 tickets and let everyone else come for free). over 400 people came.

Jamie XX, Romy XX, Jono Ma, Stella Mozgawa, Caius Pawson, Daniel Stricker, Jimmy Sing all played for free. If we would have charged normally for a party like this the ticket price would’ve been tons.. We lugged equipment for 2km (and outta there this morning across a live rifle range).”

They then included a link in hopes of raising money for the lost gear:

“It would be super SUPER amazing if you came, or felt inclined to help to please pay a nominal ticket price amount of $15 to $20… Not only will it help us this time, but it allows us to keep doing these parties. Please help.”

This legend hid Bitcoin stockpiles at a festival & now they’re worth thousands!

Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic for Electric Forest

The rave community is well known for its value of spreading kindness and positivity and while most of us are pretty decent people, some go out of their way to brighten up other people’s days.

A Reddit user by the name of u/viridianlion claims to have hidden various amounts of bitcoin at Electric Forest festival last year and they will be doing the same thing this year. He said that the amounts vary from $25 to $250 which means that you could be looking at some pretty decent cash!

“The boxes ranged in value from $25 up to $250. If you found a big one and held onto it until bitcoin was at its peak, it was worth over 2k. If you held until now, its worth about $1400. Regardless, I’m doing it again this year, so be on the lookout for more posts about this in the weeks leading up to forest (second weekend). Also look for our new bitcoin totem!”

Now if you pay attention to the price of bitcoin you know it is very volatile but it just recently skyrocketed which if it holds, could mean thousands of dollars. If you’re hoping to cash in this year at Electric Forest festival then keep an eye out for a bitcoin totem!

Also headlining will be Norweigan DJ and producer Kygo who has been selling out stadiums since rising to fame four years ago with his unique electronic sound that captured a generation. Completing the headline bill and bringing with them a whole host of sing-along hits will be undisputed kings of folk-rock Mumford & Sons.

Among the first acts announced for Sziget 2018 is ‘Rock ‘N’ Roll Star’ Liam Gallagher, hot off the back of his critically acclaimed debut solo album and long overdue announcement as NME’s Godlike Genius 2018.

ARTY kicks off 2018 with the first of many new singles: ‘Sunrise’ (feat. April Bender)

It’s been quite a while since ARTY last indulged Armada Music with his trailblazing signature sound, but the long-time industry icon and Armada alum is most definitely returning to the label.

Almost five years after collaborating with Armin van Buuren on ‘Nehalennia’, ARTY kicks off 2018 with ‘Sunrise’ (feat. April Bender), the first new single of many more to come this year.

Uplifting like the first rays of the morning sun, ‘Sunrise’ is all any dance music fan could ask for. Sporting wonderful chords and an eruptive melody alongside contemplative lyrics and April Bender’s gorgeous vocals, this cut shows that ARTY has been able to step up his game even further and will keep clubbers going till the break of dawn.

Here’s what ARTY had to say about his new track: “It’s important for me to continue making the music I enjoy the most and ‘Sunrise’ definitely falls into that category. It’s both a milestone and an incredibly important track in my career as I get back to my Progressive House roots and I’m extremely excited to officially share it with my fans after successfully sneaking it into my live sets for the past few months.”

Tavi Castro announces new incredible single, entitled ‘Ghost’ (feat. Sarah Kienstra)

tavi castro

Year 2018 starts with a powerful strike from Amsterdam based DJ and producer Tavi Castro who announces his new single, entitled ‘Ghost’, scheduled for release on his imprint ‘Tavi Records’.

Having already released incredible tracks on ‘Spinnin’ Records’ picking up heavyweight support from superstar DJs such as Martin Garrix, Tiesto & Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, and with more equally highbrow productions scheduled for later in the year, Tavi Castro is fast becoming a rounded and familiar electronic music artist.

In addition, Tavi’s last chart breaker ‘Moonlight’ is still sitting tight at No.1 in the iTunes Top 10 in the Netherlands & now fast forward to the present, he drops his latest track ‘Ghost’ on global promo, which features the sublime vocals of Dutch talent Sarah Kienstra. The collaboration delivers a record that’s set to pick up a multitude of support across club & radio in the weeks ahead & comes in two versions.

The Savage mix, which as the title indicates, sees the track take on a more dancefloor focused, heavy hitting approach and then the Human edit, which is a more toned down & radio friendly affair.

Both versions captivate with their upfront sounds, coupled with the mesmerising vocals of Sarah Kienstra, & ‘Ghost’ displays why Tavi Castro’s rise through the global ranks continues.

‘Ghost’ is an insight into what lies ahead for the multi-talented DJ in 2018 & the future is looking bright indeed.

Listen to the tracks below.

Eric Prydz was almost the 4th member of Swedish House Mafia

swedish house mafia eric prydz

Swedish House Mafia broke up about 5 years ago leaving a gap in the House genre that many others clambered to fill. Swedish House Mafia was comprised of Steve Angello, Sebastian Ingrosso, and Axwell who all split off to work on their own projects.

If some of you may have forgotten, there was the possibility of a fourth member of the Swedish House Mafia. A fan brought up this piece of trivia that many skim over on the groups Wikipedia page which is summarized in the “Formation and Prior Endeavors” section:

“Before the official formation in late 2008, the trio would often play shows together with fellow Swedish DJ Eric Prydz joining them for some shows. The name Swedish House Mafia came about after friends and fans began labeling the four as they played more shows together.

Eventually, the group adopted the name. Prydz decided not to join the group, describing himself as a ‘control freak’ in the studio who can’t abide collaboration, even with close friends.”

Legendary Eric Prydz was almost the last link in the Swedish House Mafia gang but his personality just wasn’t right for the fit.
