International EDM superstars is not enough for the Belgian/Greek duo Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike, they are now about to be welcome into the film industry.

The iconic ‘Big Room’ duo are going to make their acting debut in Belgian film Patser (which means Gangsta). The Belgian directors Adil El Arbi & Bilall Fallah are best known for their action/crime/drama movie “Black“, which won the Discovery Award at the Toronto Film Festival last year, and they have been appointed to direct the fourth installment of the new Beverly Hills Cop movie.

The movie tells a story of the “lives of four dealer friends, who want to become real life swaggers. Everything spins out of control when they steal a shipment of cocaine and trigger a full out war between them, an Amsterdam drug lord and the ruthless Colombian cartels.”

The movie was entirely shot in Belgium and is due to be released on 24th January in 2018.

Check out the official trailer for Patser below!

Escape Psycho Circus 2017

With Halloween right around the corner, it’s finally time to start preparing for Insomniac’s Escape Psycho Circus 2017. On October 27 & 28, NOS Event Center in San Bernardino, will be transformed into an evil and creepy magical graveyard.

The event will have four massive stages with some incredibly talented artists performing such as Tiesto, Shiba San and Datsik. That’s not all though, tight-rope walkers, tarot card readers, burlesque dancers and contortionist’s will all be on display for attendees. While you make your way through the grounds, be weary and mindful of the walking needle nurses, demonic evil clowns and best of all, The Asylum.

Insomniac recently announced the return of the 32,000 square-foot immersive theatre experience they call, The Asylum. Staged like a real life prison, The Asylum will host over 120 actors, 25 sound systems and 30 horrifying scare rooms.

Each room will have hollywood-like movie sets, traumatizing special effects and an actual blood shower. Yum. The massive structure will also have realistic search lights, manned guard stations, towering gates and creepy steel walls to give off the true feel of a haunted prison.

For those who dare to enter the haunted ward, straight jackets will be awaiting you. Good luck.

Illustrious DJ and producer Darius Syrossian release his first solo EP on Mar-T’s esteemed label, Wow! Recordings, entitled ‘Revolution’.

Infamously outspoken DJ, producer, label boss and radio host Darius Syrossian has firmly positioned himself as one of the UK’s finest recent exports. Past releases on the likes of Yousef’s Circus, Steve Lawler’s VIVa and Jamie Jones‘ Hot Creations presented him the opportunity to showcase his skills in the studio, whilst an ever-hectic touring schedule has seen him demonstrate his prowess behind the decks too.

Although ‘Revolution’ comes as his first solo offering for Wow!, he did team up with fellow UK artist Doorly for their 2016 collaborative EP, ‘Reality Check’, which saw the lead track stay at #1 on Beatport (Tech House chart) for over a month.

Kicking off the release is ‘Applebum’, an energetic Tech-House groover that opens with a sample from A Tribe Called Quest’s cult classic, ‘Bonita Applebum’, before progressing with headstrong drums, synths and a surging bassline.

Following is a remix of ‘Applebum’ from Wow! Recordings’ head honchos Luca Donzelli & Mar-T, who choose to loop the Tribe sample throughout, adding several percussive elements and a killer breakdown mid-way through.

The EP’s title-named track, ‘Revolution’, closes the release, a dark, throbbing number that sees Syorssian combine soulful vocals with low-end drums, looped cymbals, warbling synths and an uncompromising bassline.

Vice President of Live Nation caught using a pen-camera to film up women skirts

Andrew Macrae, a vice president of the world’s largest live entertainment company Live Nation, gets terminated after being arrested for secretly filming unsuspecting women.

Recent allegations stem from an incident that took place on a train in London this past July. Reports state that the victim was a female who was wearing a red dress. An off-duty policeman was luckily on the same train and took notice of Macrae “acting suspiciously”.

The officer stated that the defendant seemed to be continuously changing the angle of his laptop bag. It was later revealed that the bag was partially concealing a hidden pen-style camera, which Macrae was using to film women.

More charges were filed after the police raided Andrew Macrae‘s home in Redhill, Surrey. The search revealed that the defendant had been secretly filming a female neighbor and house guest, compiling nearly 50,000 images of the victims.

Prosecutor on the case, Angela Mehadio, stated that it had went on for at least 3 years from his home. She also advised the court, “Macrae admitted his intention was to film up skirts for his own personal and sexual gratification”.

She also added that Andrew Macrae has since pleaded guilty to seven counts of voyeurism for the purpose of sexual gratification.

A statement condemning the defendant, and those alike was given by Live Nation. Although they briefly voiced their opinion, while charges against the former VP are still pending, Live Nation was unwilling to comment on the matter any further. Macrae is scheduled for a sentencing hearing at inner London Crown Court on November 7th.

dj busted

Liquid Sky Berlin has announced that no CDJs or Turntables will be found in the Kreuzberg-based club.

Declaring itself a nightclub that doesn’t intend to “represent ordinary DJ culture”, this place has gone against the norm and banned turntables and CDJs.

Liquid Sky Berlin wrote in a post:

“This is NOT because we disrespect DJs. It’s because we are not just another Berlin nightclub. We support other formats / unique styles / different thinking / alternative tastes and emerging uses of both newer and older technology.”

With that in mind, this underground nightclub welcomes a variety of wonky replacements that include busted Sony tape players, shortwave radios, Nintendo Gameboys, modular synths and even “hacked home-fitness-trainers.”

If you haven’t heard by now, Harvey Weinstein’s reputation is in the tank.

The once renounced producer Harvey Weinstein, has been slammed by people across the film industry after an expose piece written by The NY Times deemed him responsible for years of sexual predation towards the women of Hollywood.

Since the explosive article was released, countless people have voiced their support for his victims across social media — and some have even stepped forward to share their own stories of past sexual harassment and trauma. Doing something like this is never an easy task, and we commend every single one of you brave women brave enough to do so.

One of brave includes DJ and producer Alison Wonderland.

Wonderland, who typically voices her stance on mental health issues and social stigmas, submitted several posts on Twitter yesterday detailing her own personal experience with sexual harassment.

“Years ago I got sexually harassed at my old job by a man high up in the company. It was awful. I cried. My dad had to pick me up from work..” she tweeted. “The next day I went to HR & they said “well u are pretty and he was drunk” then subtly told me if I took it any further I would lose my job.”

The artist then goes on to explain how she then found the man on Facebook, and considered telling his wife. She then added that young girls should stand against any form of sexual violation. We appreciate that she spoke up and the fact that she took care to make sure this doesn’t happen to others.

The closing ceremony of the second annual edition of ULTRA Brasil on Saturday, October 14, marked the culmination of another year of monumental success and international expansion for ULTRA Worldwide – a year which saw over 1 million people attend 45 events in 20 countries across 5 continents.

ULTRA Brasil, the newly expanded 3-day festival, saw over 90,000 fans attend Rio De Janeiro’s Sambodromo marking the end of ULTRA’s 2017 impressive Latin America run. Following the massive debut of ULTRA México the week prior, and a huge array of standalone RESISTANCE and Road To ULTRA events across seven different countries over the course of ten days, this was ULTRA’s most prolific takeover of Latin America thus far.

To cap off the 2017 event calendar, ULTRA Worldwide has compiled an impressive list of annual statistics, affirming its position as the largest independent, international music festival brand in the world.

In 2017 alone, ULTRA produced brand new full-scale festivals in China and Mexico, new Road To ULTRA events in Mumbai and New Delhi, new standalone RESISTANCE shows in Medellín, Córdoba, Rosario and two weekends in Buenos Aires as well as Bali (Ku De Ta and Jenja) and UK (The Social and upcoming at Motion, Bristol), produced a brand new 8-week RESISTANCE Residency at Privilege Ibiza (world’s largest nightclub), and oversaw the inception of Bali Music Week.

With a total of 45 events in 2017 alone (23 of which were debuts) and 3,000,000 hours of livestreaming on UMF TV logged throughout ULTRA Worldwide’s annual broadcast schedule, all eyes are on the festival brand’s massive continued expansion.

UMF Radio, broadcasted in over 62 countries, boasts a dedicated listenership of 32,693,400 estimated weekly listeners, marking a 70% increase from the previous year. Since its launch last autumn, the ULTRA Worldwide Passport program has congregated over 300,000 loyal ‘Ultranauts’, with the program continuing to grow with each new addition to the ULTRA Worldwide event calendar.

ULTRA MUSIC FESITVAL, the twice DJ Mag accredited #1 Festival In the World (2016, 2017), will return to Bayfront Park, downtown Miami for its landmark twentieth anniversary on March 23, 24, 25, 2018.

Prior to the flagship festival’s celebration in March, ULTRA will make its return to Cape Town and Johannesburg in South Africa this coming February along with a fresh Road To ULTRA event in Melbourne, Australia, adding a record-breaking sixth continent to ULTRA’s international itinerary.
