Despite the clouds and afternoon showers we had to stop by the infamous DJ Mag Pool party at is Delano debut for this year's Winter Music Conference. The swanky South Beach hotel hosted a refined crowd for some of the best tech house and deep artists throughout the week. No ravers allowed at the pricey venue, as the events embodied the best of club culture. After a torrential downpour scattered some, Eat Everything followed by James Zabiela took the decks for a perfect sunset session that could only be curated by the one and only Dj Mag.
[top_post_splash num="16"] For those of you who have attended Miami Music Week, you know that it's an impossibility to hit up every good party happening in Miami, no matter how hard you may try. Though trying to choose was difficult, LessThan3 has narrowed down some of our favorite parties that happened during MMW 2013, from a late-night tech house set from Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano at The Delano to b2b appearances from Guetta, Afrojack, Aoki, and Laidback Luke at Mansion.

Bowling may seem an odd choice for an extra-curricular WMC outing given Miami’s reputation for glamour and hedonism, but not so for the lovable mess of misfits at San Francisco's tech funk label Dirtybird . A sacrosanct safe haven for eclectic personalities and sounds, the label is known for being just as forward-thinking as it is, well, fun. On WMC Wednesday, a local Lucky Strike became ground zero for the label artists and lucky attendees aboard the MOX Bus , which featured such daily “takeovers” by various labels throughout the week.

It's time to sweeten your week with some brand new and really really cool mixtapes. This time with the french and Boysnoize Records based Djedjotronic , who made a mixtape for the famous Social Club and DJ Mag. Pure techno and exactly what I want to listen to. I'm also in love with the Them Jeans mix, a really groovy and bassy house mix. I don't want to write about all the mixes, so get yourself a listen. And by the way, I've found some Ultra Music Festival rips, but most of them are recorded in a [...]

For years Dj Mag and the Shelborne Hotel South Beach have hosted the hottest events during WMC week. With poolside madness and late night turntablism, this sand-side hotspot has played host to THE names in dance music. Perfectly laid out with poolside 2-floor villas, the Shelborne has been a coveted spot for everything electronic and poolside. For 2013, the UK dance media giant shows the need to keep it fresh moving a couple doors down to the infamous Delano Hotel. The high-dollar location often plays host to the cities elite and uber-wealthy. [...]
UK based Dj Mag is back with another Top 100 list, this time with a bit less drama. The Top 100 clubs highlight the cream of the crop when is comes to nightlife. Not only choosing by a sound system and decor, but the whole clubbing experience. Most super clubs have relatively the same feel when empty, its when the bass is bumping and the dance floor is packed like sardines that you can really define a top 10 party place. What makes these spots the best in the world? We say the people. Judging by the number 1 pick who's name [...]

We recently heard that at DJ Mag's Best of British Awards, the crowned Best DJ winner Eats Everything had various equipment stolen - preventing him from even DJing that evening. Eats Everything (Daniel Pierce) lost a bag that included several precious USB sticks with records no one else had plus 100 of hours of work for his touring. In a stroke of luck, we've now learned DJ Mag received the contents of Eats's property at their HQ and an anonymous note that read "It was an accident, Sorry! Merry Christmas." Quite the relief. via [...]
On the back of an incredible and bustling Essential Mix , buzzing UK producer Eats Everything has had 'years worth of solid work' stolen from the DJ booth while attending DJ Mag's awards night. Taking to Twitter, the bigger than life producer really struck out; "Some fucking cunt is a fucking asshole and stole my headphones and all my music from the DJ booth.... Fucking wanker." It wasn't just 140Gb of music but a set of headphones as well, no accidental occurrence... Mixmag [...]

Defected Records announced earlier today that it will no longer be hosting "Defected In The House" nights at the famed Pacha in Ibiza . In a statement from label founder Simon Dunmore, he explains that the "current House music renaissance meant 2012 was [their] most successful summer" in the seven-year residency at the club, but "continuing a tried and trusted formula would have been the easiest option but...our achievements last summer give us a great platform to look at the new opportunities available to us." Defected had a huge year: they picked up awards for Best [...]

Last month, DJ Mag unveiled their annual top 100 rankings, and the 2012 list of DJs was full of surprises. The most notable being an apparent changing of the guard, with Avicii cracking the top 3 - slots that have been designated to the same dominating powers for the past several years. While Avicii - who has been held responsible for the commercialized trajectory of EDM - may not have been the unanimous vote among dance music fans, his influence among the genre, and the world in general, has been unavoidable. Many people throw around Avicii's [...]
Norwegian producer Ørjan Nilsen is out with his latest single "Copperfield" on Armin van Buuren's Armind Recordings. If his popularity wasn't already apparent fro m the success of other recent releases like "Viking," "Endymion," and his Armin collab "Better," Ørjan also snagged a #32 spot on this year's DJ Mag poll. "Copperfield" is a ravey trance track with a chunky bassline and an old school topline. It's obvious Ørjan draws influence from Armin's sound (the track was also featured on A State of Trance back in October ), but also toes the line between trance [...]
Ten phenomenal mixtapes waiting for you. Different styles but there is one thing in common, quality. Get yourself a listen and assure oneself of it. A mixtape or mixed-tape is the generic name given to any compilation of songs recorded onto a Compact Cassette, Compact Disc, music file, or any other audio format. A mixtape, which usually reflects the musical tastes of its compiler, can range from a casually selected list of favorite songs, to a conceptual mix of songs linked by a theme or mood, to a highly personal statement tailored to the tape's intended recipient. Enjoy. [...]
