Canadian progressive house music DJ and producer, Deadmau5 took the time this past week to sit down with H3 staff to discuss about how he almost died in a plane crash and his doxxing of Skrillex during the Grammy Awards.
Joel also talks about that time when he first met Justin Bieber in one of Toronto’s popular nightclubs. He also said that 15 yr-old Bieber sent him a picture of himself playing an acoustic guitar with a caption “Deadmau5 i will f***ing kill you!”

Rounding off a monster week of singles and an incredible live show at Ultra Music Festival in Miami, Tiesto unveils his latest EP, ‘I Like It Loud’. Featuring collaborations with artists from the talent collective at Tiësto’s label, Musical Freedom, I Like It Loud is an explosive body of work, brimming with festival bangers.
First up is the title track, ‘I Like It Loud’, a thrilling re-work of the 1997 definitive track by Marshal Masters feat. The Ultimate MC. Collaborating with fellow Dutch producer/DJ John Christian, Tiësto reimagines the classic track bringing a whole new dimension, perfect for the club big rooms.
‘Dawnbreaker’ by Tiësto & Russian duo Matisse & Sadko is an epic house track with a progressive build and beats to stomp to and see the dawn in with. Penultimate track ‘Coming Home’ sees Mesto join forces with Tiësto on this masterful dance hit, which has summer written all over it.
Bringing the EP to a stunning close is Tiësto’s track with MOTi, ‘Break The House Down’. Having previously collaborated together on their remix of Lean On, as well as Blow Your Mind and House of Now, Tiësto and MOTi have now created an even bigger beast with this track, complete with samples of ethereal choral chanting.
No doubt, this pioneering EP featuring some of the most exciting headliners out there sets the pace for this summer’s festivals – and the rest of the year.

Hot on the heels of dropping masterstroke single ‘Sunrise’ (feat. April Bender) to add considerable weight to his Armada Music comeback, Russian star ARTY immediately hits again with another shot of his trademark sound for the Amsterdam-based record label’s 15-year anniversary celebrations.
Bearing the 15th anniversary stamp, ‘Rain’ emerges as both a solid offering and a telling precursor for the trove of phenomenal cuts ARTY intends to unleash throughout this year and the next.
Mesmeric and beautiful like a gentle drizzle on a warm spring day, ‘Rain’ offers a downpour of emotion no dance music fan can resist. Embellished by tiny synth drops and cascading melodies, this cut invigorates parties and nightlife scenes all over the world and will prove a fan favorite in no time.
ARTY: “Rain is my favorite weather by far, and I’ve always wanted to express my love for rain in a song. With ‘Rain’, I set out to describe the feeling of sadness and melancholy as well as the uplifting emotions that rain always brings me. It has less vocals and a bigger club vibe compared to its predecessor ‘Sunrise’, so people can enjoy the instruments surrounding the upbeat production.”

House music supergroup Swedish House Mafia ended their five-year hiatus this past Sunday with their incredible performance at Ultra Music Festival in Miami. Rumors had swirled for months before the event regarding their return and several humorous bets were placed on the matter, including one made by twitter user @aaron_frame21.
Aaron, clearly a die-hard Swedish House Mafia fan, declared he would get a tattoo of the trio’s logo on himself if they did end up reuniting at Ultra’s 20th anniversary.
Soon after concluding the live stream of the event, Aaron headed over to his local tattoo shop for his ink. Check out his twitter post and photos below:
I made a promise, and im a man of my word. Straight from watching the stream ti the tattoo shop. THEY ARE FUCKING BACK!!!!

Apparently there was something else that happened at Ultra Music Festival in Miami this past weekend, and it was the Swedish House Mafia reunion.
During his 5pm set, Norwegian EDM DJ and producer Alan Walker had a surprising twist on his mix. About half way through his set, a Spotify ad randomly starts playing. A lot of people are saying it was an awkward troll, but after watching the video it didn’t seem to be that bad. He transitioned out of it pretty well as if it was something he had planned to do.
On the other hand, if it was actually a mistake and he failed to cut the song, well then that’s embarrassing. Either way, he’s releasing new music with Steve Aoki and his set had the crowd jumping.
Check out the video at 6:00 mark of his set and comment your thoughts below!
The Swedish House Mafia train is not over yet my friends as we may be seeing them perform again at Ultra Europe in Croatia this July. Ultra released a post on their instagram profile, stating “Expect the unexpected when @steveangello takes the stage at Ultra Europe this summer!
The cheesy line has become a calling card for Swedish House Mafia recently and it would only make sense for them to keep performing worldwide. We already have a strong linkling that we have not seen the last of the legendary EDM trio together.
Ultra secured a similar deal when they had Deadmau5 headlining many of their summer events back in 2016. It would only make sense that the Swedish super group makes an Ultra tour and spreads the nostalgia.

Whenever you decide upon taking a road trip, holiday or just all-around journey through life as a whole, what matters isn’t where you start and stop. The beauty of the experience is found in the in-between, in the breathtaking moments that you’d miss out on if you were to just hop from A to B and take shortcuts.
Applying that very same notion to his music, Sebastian Davidson took his time to capture the essence of such a journey and somehow managed to fuse it with his unmistakably magical signature sound. The result is a stellar debut album that puts his peerless production skill and shimmering soundscapes fully on the map: ‘Atlas Of Adventures’.
‘Atlas Of Adventures’ sees Dutch producer Sebastian Davidson offer music fans the chance to explore the sonic panoramas and impeccable views of a kaleidoscopic body of work.
A spark of uncharted brilliance many a listener could lose himself in for all eternity, the album inspires and enchants through twelve tales of inconceivable beauty and mesmerism, including wondrous excursions such as ‘Father, Mother, Brother’, ‘Alpenglow’ and ‘Klapp’ (with Claes Rosen).
The mirror image of a world untainted and untarnished, ‘Atlas Of Adventures’ shows that A and B are mere stepping stones to the greater picture. And that picture, that canvas of brilliant colors and irresistible songs, truly is dazzling.
Here’s what Sebastian Davidson had to say about his debut album:
“Over the past year, I have been pouring myself into this album, drawing inspiration from my love for peaceful and untouched landscapes to discover my own sound. it has been the most rewarding, musically personal work I have ever done.
It’s a new chapter that started out with ‘Alpenglow’ and ‘Father, Mother, Being’ being test songs to see if I could express my ideas. Both songs helped me a lot in defining the direction of my album and I dare say it’s everything I wanted it to be.”

The time has come to disclose the second part of the Mysteryland 2018 line up, exclusively accessible to their camping guests. A Camping ticket allows you to start the party early and explore the festival grounds before anyone else does at Mysteryland. Six stages will be opening up for the exclusive pre- and after-parties on Friday, August 24th and Saturday, August 25th.
During their twelve-hour pre-party marathon, starting on Friday at 14h sharp, you can mingle with other camping friends and get a taste of the musical diversity that’s key to Mysteryland. From Big Room to House to Minimal, from Hardstyle to Trap: all music genres will be represented.
Nicky Romero and Sander van Doorn are two of the top names that will kick-start the festivities on Friday on the biggest of our 6 stages: The Bird’s Nest. The most dedicated branch of Mysteryland’s festival tribe can go hard at The Dome, which will be exclusively dedicated to their Hardstyle fans. Bass Chaserz and Demi Kanon are amongst the artists that will guarantee absolute mayhem with massive drops and elusive choruses.
Moreover, much loved MC Villain will exchange his mic for the decks and play a one-time only DJ-set. Trap lovers can kick off their travel gear and dive into some sub-woofer action within yards from their tent, as Dirtcaps will preheat The Kitchen.
Lady Bee, The Partysquad and Rugged accompany the trap trio at the only stage that is situated right next to the campsite. Prefer to take it easy? Camping guests that like to slide smooth into the weekend are invited to participate in a cacao ceremony or relax to the chill wave played in their Healing Garden.
Whether you want to dive into it upon arrival or just chill and relax with friends, you will be able to fully immerse yourself in festival spirits from day 1 as a camping guest. What’s more: a Camping ticket is the only ticket that truly means ‘all access’.
On Saturday night the gates to Mysteryland will re-open again for our exclusive after-part. This time, Fedde Le Grand and Sam Feldt will take over the decks. Those who like to go hard can follow Bass Modulators and Atmozfears to The Kitchen, the stage right on the Camping Grounds.

Undeniably an audio sensation “Let Me know” is set to ignite every club and festival dance floor around the world.

Over the weekend, the whole world witnessed something that many of us thought would never happen. The Swedish trio of Axwell, Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso took the stage together for the first time in years as the Swedish House Mafia rocked Ultra Music Festival 2018.
When the trio came together and hugged it out on stage, it was almost like the whole world stopped. Time had slowed down and we were all taken back to a simpler time. There was only one thing that was still in question, and that was if it was just a one night thing or if the trio would actually go on tour and/or produce new music.
Well known celebrity agent and manager Scooter Braun may have helped us solve the mystery. During their set, he posted on his Instagram story, “The Beginning” while the Swedish trio hugged it out on stage.
Being that Scooter is also Steve Angello’s manager, let’s just say he probably knows more than we do. Let’s just all hope for the best and believe that there is a Swedish House Mafia tour in the works!
Check out the picture of a thousand words below!
Stay tuned and check back for future Swedish House Mafia details!
