As we near the beginning of Ibiza's 2013 season, the beloved Pacha brand aims to forge a new identity, starting with Guy Gerber's new The Wisdom Of The Glove residency. The Israeli curator has some major plans for the world-renowned club, so we gave him the floor to answer our most pressing questions about the Glove's mystical allure and his hopes to make Pacha the island's hottest destination: Explain the meaning of "The Wisdom of the Glove" The Wisdom [...]

Après la WeAre Experience, Electrocorp s'est glissé dans les coulisses de la United , qui se déroulait à Montpellier le 20 avril !

Pour ses 8 ans, le festival a convié des hôtes de marque ! Quelques heures de train plus tard, c'est donc sur un live de Dusty Kid que nous débarquons au Zénith.

As the birthplace of techno, it's no surprise that Detroit also plays host to one of North America's most prominent dance music festivals (voted the #1 most anticipated festival of 2013 by Beatport and the top festival in May 2013 by Resident Advisor). Founded in 2000 and renamed in 2006, the thirteenth annual Movement , or Detroit Electronic Music Festival (DEMF) , will take over Hart Plaza in just a few weeks from May 25 through May 28 . With a lineup filled to the brim with obvious legends and hometown favourites, cutting down to our top 12 was not an easy [...]
Much talk has been riding around the infamous Resident Advisor video Between The Beats , released to depict the highs and lows of a day in the life of Siberian dance music vixen Nina Kraviz . Even the label, 'vixen', may stir up some opinionated tongue when it comes to the current online battle between Ms. Kraviz and fellow house music maker, Maceo Plex . What began as a short feature to expose a DJ's life when the music isn't playing turned into a battle of sexism, artist expertise, and the use of sexuality to [...]
Magda es una artista que siempre está en constante movimiento, no importan fechas ni horarios. "Estoy obsesionada con encontrar una línea entre las cosas, entre los sonidos y entre los géneros, mis influencias vienen de una vida invertida en ambientes muy diferentes, lo cual juega un papel muy importante en la forma en que conecto con la música". Así es como define su estilo musical la propia Magda . Sonidos dramáticos y líneas de bajo excéntricas van acomodando ese sonido en capas que se alinean hacia un space disco/funky a programaciones complejas y estructuradas, con esa [...]
When Magda , Marc Houle , and Troy Pierce came together in 2011 to create the Item & Things imprint, they embarked on a mission to bring some of the most unique and innovate techno and house music to the electronic world masses. Iranian-born, Berlin-raised DJ Nyma makes his solo debut release on the label with a remix from label-head and legendary techno producer Marc Houle. The preview clip showcases Houle's signature minimal techno glee - showing the relentless and driving beat work that we've come to expect from the Canadian producer. The track will be available for purchase [...]
For Ride The Tempo Written by: Ani Hajderaj | Photos by: Constance Chan Festival season occurs typically in the summer where music fans can dance in comfortable clothing in the warm weather, however in Canada the party never stops. Montreal has been graced with their successful winter festival, Igloofest every year, but 2013 was time for Toronto to add to the winter festival line up. Brrrrr! Organized by [...]
Back in 2009, when the Serbian Exit Festival was celebrating its 10th year, Pete Tong put together one of the most legendary Essential Mixes ever recorded. This 120 minute segment features back-to-back sets from techno kingpins Riche Hawtin & Dubfire , and Magda & Loco Dice, respectively. The party takes place in a medieval castle and is dubbed by Pete Tong as "one of the best DJ stages in the world at one of the best festivals in the world." These four acts are undeniably masters of their craft, and when placed side-by-side create an [...]
We’re super excited to see that Richie Hawtin is bringing his awesome ENTER concept from Ibiza to London… to one of our fave venues too – Brixton Academy. As if that wasn’t enough, not only is the main man playing himself but he’s gonna be joined by an all star cast of some of our fave’s – Maya Jane Coles , Heidi , Matador and Magda ! Bring on the girls. Oh wow. To sweeten the deal even more, it’s being held on a bank holiday weekend, so completely [...]
For those familiar with Complex Magazine , the "Ultimate Mens Buyers Guide," you know to expect the usual smattering of articles on cars, curves, sneakers, sports and hip hop culture. Recently Complex took a pitiful stab at naming the 10 Sexiest Women in EDM , pulling together an overall mystifyingly random collection of females, with "sex appeal" as the primary criterion. Aside from committing the carnal sin of referring to them as "girls" throughout the feature, from a musical perspective Complex totally dropped the ball on coming up with a legit list, [...]
Items & Things, the eclectic techno label that is getting bigger and stronger. Lead by Magda, Troy Pierce and Marc Houle, three DJ/producers who have already come a long way in their own career and who answer questions about the growth of their project for LSD. How did the idea of creating the label ‘Items [...]
Londons biggest and best loved nocturnal music venue turns 13 this weekend, officially entering into puberty with a house party to spank all others- a non-stop 30hr rave which starts at 11pm on Saturday and comes to a fuzzy end on Monday at 5am (officially...). It's a dreamy looking line-up featuring Seth Troxler, Bicep, Sandwell District and Joris Voorn to name just a few. We have spent oh many many a Saturday night dancing in one of its three legendary rooms and have seen oodles of our favourite acts play there from Dixon to Richie Hawtin to Magda. [...]
Less Is More We’ve all heard this phrase before; it can apply to a lot of aspects of life. What about music? It’s an unsettling concept at first, to those of us with such a commitment and passion for music how can less possibly be more? Berlin based Minimal Techno label Minus, founded and spearheaded by techno legend Richie Hawtin, proves to us that it truly can be. Over the course of 14 years, Minus has worked its way up to the very cutting edge of electronic music. Hawtin has managed to build up [...]
![Rework – Werewolf [MEANT Records] (2012)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4530248_lg.jpg)
El trío de Rework (Daniel Varga, Michael Kuebler y Sascha Hedgehog) acaba de publicar nuevo EP, para el sello francés de MEANT Records , 'Werewolf', todo un temazo, maravilla de tema, con esa maravillosa voz que se va repitiendo constantemente, ese bajo y cajas de ritmo, tema potente, ideal para la pista, con momentos de saturación de sonido, con una melodía que se engancha y te pone a bailar, acompañado de un genial vídeo dirigido por Ji Strangeway ( Protéji Pictures )..... en 'Touch [...]
Avec quelques jours de retard voici le treizième volet de nos « What A Terrific Mixtape » cette fois ci proposée par nos amis d' Oblast , qui rappelons le, ont sorti leur second EP, Act 2 il y a maintenant quelques semaines sur Add Cat Records . Un mix qui, fidèle à leurs goûts, oscille entre deep house et deep techno, doté d'une excellente playlist ! Bonne écoute !
We always love a good mix from one of our fave techno queens Magda . This one’s hard and energetic. Stick it on.
Dance don Marc Houle gives us a rundown of some personal favorites.
We have discovered the super cute series that Richie Hawtin has been making to promote his Enter residency at Space Ibiza . The videos feature the man himself hanging out in the pool with other techno legends like Magda , Mathew Jonson and Ben Klock ahead of the big night. They chat about music, sake and sunshine and display their under water skills. Make sure you check out the whole series on the MinusOfficial YouTube channel , they are well worth the watch. We have major envy of Magda's [...]
