A mysterious picture was posted on Above & Beyond's Twitter and Facebook pages today. As seen above, it features Paavo & Jono each at a piano, Tony with a guitar, and the headline Above & Beyond Acoustic . Along with the hashtag #abacoustic , it doesn't take a genius to guess that the trio are shortly to reveal something which ditches the electronic elements for some "real" instruments. What this will consist of-a live event, an album, maybe a compilation-is currently unclear, but while it may be something completely [...]

All photos by Erik Madsen Oh this was reality, but for many, Oakland’s Pop The Dream at The Oracle Arena no doubt felt like a blissful sorta dream. Flashing bright lights filled the coliseum with a glow that radiated across a sea of several thousand people, all dancing throughout the night. A smaller, redesigned, and more intimate stage allowed lower-level partygoers to enjoy an entirely new and up-close experience with the artist. Typically an experience reserved for smaller venues like the Oakland Fox, or San Francisco's Warfield theater. However, don’t be [...]

When Topher Jones released his hit single ' Brohammer ', it not only took everyone by surprise, it eventually became one of the best tracks of 2012. The right people noticed. So much so that when Gareth Emery wanted to have his hit song ' The Saga ' remixed, he specifically asked for Topher Jones. Topher was only too happy to oblige the English legend. It seems that Gareth Emery has quite the eye for spotting talent as well. Topher's remix isn't just spectacular, it surpasses the original. Whereas the original mix's drop [...]

If you've got a countdown to Miami Music Week you're not alone: Gareth Emery is also getting excited about the festivities and has released "Meet Her In Miami" to celebrate. An updated remake of Da Hool's 1997 "Meet Her at the Love Parade," the track is a departure from Emery's trance sound but the perfect party tune made in the spirit of Miami. Emery added progressive house elements to the Latin video game feel of Da Hool's original, throwing in a few builds, a throbbing bassline and a stuttered "Miami." A fitting tribute to electronic music's past as Ultra Music [...]

Trance producer Gareth Emery reworks Da Hool's classic 'Meet her At The Love Parade' with a more tribal, fun, and uptempo version of the track.

With masterfully crafted drum patterns and an extremely catchy melody, 'Meet Her In Miami' will be brought back to life around the world. Listening to this track feels like we're at Liv, Mansion, or just on [...]

Batten down the hatches and lock up your daughters, as San Fran’s K Theory keep rockin’ out their broken melodic beats and slowed down disco prog noodles mercilessly. Using a clever form of audio tapestry over Gareth Emery’s ‘The Saga’ & ‘Concrete Angel’ (as well as their own ‘Geeked Up,’ ‘VC Commander’ and ‘Wut They Gon Do!,’ ) whether it’s taking on the Bee Gees or Crazy Daylight, there doesn’t seem to be a challenge that K Theory can’t succeed in. Stuffed with more energy than a box of Ferrero [...]

Steadily making their rise within the world of bass music, the San Francisco-based duo that make up K-Theory have taken a stab at Gareth Emery's "Concrete Angel." Since the inception of this anthemic monster, many have tried to put their own spin on Christina Novelli's angelic vocals.
