Ultra Music Festival , a venture that began in 1999 and has continued growing ever since, celebrates its 15 th anniversary this year, the first as a sold out two-weekend event. While Miami may have hosted the festival since it began, that has not kept it from spreading across the globe, with festivals in South America, Korea, and, for the first year ever, to Croatia. However, this constant spread and a shower of accolades has not changed UMF’s founding principle: to deliver the biggest talents to their fans in an unbeatable environment. [...]

Miami just keeps getting crazier and crazier for us at TMN. Aside from Ultra, Project Miami, and a handful of other WMC shows, now we're lickin' our chops at the thought of Lucked Up this Sunday. What can we really say about this event other than the fact that the lineup is one not to be missed. So, who all is going to be there? Well, TMN favorite Lucky Date for one, accompanied by Congorock, Alvarro, Candyland, the Disco Fries and more. That's just the main stage though! Rockin' the other stages are the likes of Philly funnyman [...]
Dance music veteran Laidback Luke officially released " Pogo " last month, giving fans an electro house beat with an infectious vocal hook from MC Majestic . A fitting name for the bouncy beat, "Pogo" is a combination of Laidback Luke's dirty Dutch roots and Majestic's grime-style vocals creating a hard-hitting production with mass appeal. Fellow Dutch house champion Chuckie gives the track an entirely new feel, allowing Majestic's lyrics to take center stage. Incorporating a Latin-flavored drum line with cascading synths, Chuckie forms a remake ready for the main stage. The remix package also includes works from Congorock , [...]

Social media has greatly enhanced the connection between fans and artists by allowing them to connect on a level far greater than that of a spectator. Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram have given us an unprecedented look into the lives of our modern day rockstars by taking us behind the booth, into their homes and studios, and even sometimes into their pasts. Click below the break to check out some of your favorite artists in their younger years and find out which superstars got an early start by strumming guitars or tickling the ivories. We have shots from Steve Angello [...]

Last year Zeds Dead and Omar Linx gave away the stems of their "Cowboy" collaboration for a remix contest with Beatport . Butch Clancy , who recently gave away his A Beautiful Mind LP, wound up winning the grand prize with a glitchy remix. Now, several months later, Congorock has unleashed his grinding rendition on the world. The producer is best known for "Babylon," but this remix proves that the world should be paying him more attention. Its swirling electro synths and sped up beats are perfect for the festival [...]

First formed in 2004, DC & Hooks (from Toronto, Canada) have produced / remixed a solid projection of sounds under the name Zeds Dead . Whilst having Mass Productions as one of their past outlets for tried ‘n’ tested dancefloor carnage, their proven creative-mentality crosses the strands of bass heavy and breakbeat structured electronic dance music – and disturbs as many low end subwhoofers locally as Kanye West as annoyed millions of people worldwide. Here are a few ZD examples... BON IVER - Woods (Zeds Dead Remix) DJ VADIM presents THE [...]

Zeds Dead & Omar Linx, the true pioneers of letting hip-hop and heavy electronic music exist so organically together, gave away their stems on Beatport last year to spark a remix contest . The result was simply a massive success with Butch Clancy, Michael White and Clark Kent submitting their well grounded contributions. We can't confirm this is a direct result of the contest, but today Congorock unleashed their very own throbbing remix of 'Cowboy'. Always with some African-drum influence, the emerging star of the world's biggest dance floor and producer of the catchiest [...]

Given our self-proclaimed “We’re #1” title and all, it’s crazy to think that folks are still suffering from Sandy. Sadly they are. Tip of the hat to Ultra Music and their camp of merrymakers for spreading some EDM culture love. The New York based imprint has set up a bunch of auctions on eBay to raise money for MusiCares Hurricane Sandy Relief Fund. They’re donating all proceeds earned from the personal items and signed memorabilia they rounded up and we’re told that they too will contribute to the funds donated. The auctions open today and run through Thursday, January 24th. [...]
About three months ago, Congorock and Stereo Massive released the Reggae-influenced song Bless Di Nation featuring the vocals of dancehall star Sean Paul (pictured). It was a decent track, but ultimately forgettable. A motley crew of hot names in EDM decided to fix that, and what we have here is something else entirely. Get ready to start dancing, because this remix pack is massive with a capital M. Pick your personal poison here, because this remix pack has it all. My personal favorite is from rising star Clockwork . [...]

Here we go!! 20 more tracks to make that Tuesday of yours a little bit more enjoyable. One of the most memorable tracks from this section has to be TV NOISE's remix to Swedish House Mafia and Laidback Luke's Leave The World Behind . The young duo from The Netherlands formally known as Les Bros have been dominating the EDM scene, releasing most of their filth through Spinning Records, best look out for these guys this year. Another duo to keep an eye out for in 2013 is The Knocks. This NYC pair brings the funk and the noise, they have been [...]

When most remix packs come out, there's only one or two tracks that are respectable, but when I listened to all the remixes of Stereo Massive's Bless Di Nation featuring Sean Paul I was blown away at the quality of each and every remix. All six remixes bring their own unique twist to the original. It [...]
