Out now on Subliminal Records, the dutch duo of Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano have joined forces with Erick Morillo , Jose Nunez and Harry Romero to give us Jungle Blood. From its thumping drum work to its ridiculous synth progressions, this track has all the makings of a tribal anthem. With both tech and progressive house elements, a groove-centric song is created that is sure to tear up dance floors this spring and summer. Grab it on [...]

Thanksgiving Eve is the homely cousin of New Year's Eve, but that hasn't stopped the city that never sleeps from stepping into bed with her once a year. Rarely one to argue with tradition, and knowing that a 7-hour back-to-back set meant I wouldn't be leaving Pacha until the sun came up, I spent most of Wednesday evening napping in preparation for the early morning ahead of me. Legendary DJ/producer Erick Morillo has certainly seen his fair share of Thanksgiving Eves, having shared last year's affair with Danny Tenaglia. With a career spanning over two decades, Morillo has racked up a series of chart-topping singles, [...]

Climbing the ranks of international superstardom for over 18 years and showcasing his seasoned talents all over the planet, it is now becoming clear that Steve Angello has been destined from birth to conquer the capital of the world – New York City. First it was Madison Square Garden alongside SHM brethren Axwell and Sebastian Ingrosso, then it was Giants Stadium at New York’s inaugural Electric Daisy Carnival, and this time, the bearded Swede brought his Size Matters crew right to the heart of New York City: Central Park. September 22 nd , 2012 started off like a [...]

Its been a busy year for Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano , and we'll catch up with the guys before their set on the 21st so stay tuned next week for an interview.

Goodbye hump day, hello weekend. There are a lot of shit options to choose from when it comes to So Cal merrymaking after the sun goes down. Some are great, some not so great. These are the former, the parties we'd go to. Each and every single one of them—if cloning ourselves were actually possible. Thursday through Sunday…this is what's up for a proper EDM culture weekend. Until next week... Los Angeles: Thursday Sept 13 Magnetic friends Dance Right will be hosting a great show to [...]
Not exactly the tribal-tech you'd expect from the duo with arguably the best name and hair in the business. Opting for the more generic route, the Dutch duo give us a preview for a ready-made club track. Festival-worthy and crying to be played at peak hours, 'Finally Here' seems to be an unashamed commercial track. Vocals would be nice, but 'Finally Here' may be used more as a DJ tool. Acapellas varying depending on which DJ supports it. 'Finally Here' is set for release on Spinnin' Records on Oct. 1. [...]
I heard about these guys from a friend who saw them at EDC NYC. I’m not one for listening to 2 hour Tech-House mixes, but this one grabbed me from the very beginning. Firstly, the mixing is flawless, and their use of old-school tracks (Beachball, Lethal Industry, Flash) blew me away. It’s no doubt that these guys love the classics and aren’t afraid to educate their audience. If anyone read A-trak’s article that came out a couple weeks ago, you’d know it’s not always about dropping the new hotness, it’s also about being creative and playing to the [...]
Steve Angello and friends will make the biggest city in the world even bigger with Size in the Park You know that feeling you get in September when you realize that summer festival season is coming to a close? Well this year, don't let those feelings set in too early as 1/3 of the Swedish [...]
Steve Angello has already played Madison Square Garden, so clearly Central Park is the logical NYC spot for him to conquer next. After the cryptic teasers began to surface, you didn't have to wait too long to find out that the 9/22 show promised by Pacha would be a Size Records extravaganza. Rumsey Playground is typically home to a tamer sort of show, so something says that this party will be a special one. Oh and Steve won't be playing alone - he's bringing along a sizeable roster in AN21 & Max Vangeli, Sunnery James & Ryan [...]
Amsterdam Dance Event, the world's largest dance music conference, returns to the Dutch capital from October 17th to 21st.

The Westergasfabriek venue looks like the place to be - On Wednesday, Fatboy Slim, Christian Varela, Nicole Moudaber, and Charlie Hedges will support [...]
Honestly, at this point, what more can be said about these two? Unparalleled? Dynamic Duo? Batman and Robin? Ok we’ll stop. But in reality, a good majority of true house music fans, including myself, look at of Sunnery James and Ryan Marciano as two of the last real tenants of house music. Time and time [...]
Here's another great Live pack from EDC Las Vegas so you can relive the rave during work this week. This time we have some major Dutch superstars delivering their finest work for the masses. I would have had these sets up earlier but I haven't been able to stop bouncing since I started listening. My suggestion would [...]
Another day, another announcement about a cool Ibiza club night confirming its lineup for the 2012 season. Sigh. Is it summer yet? This time it's Erick Morillo who is making news as his Subliminal Sessions will be taking over Wednesday nights at Pacha Ibiza. The first party kicks off on May 30 with a party [...]
Well, with Ultra Day 1 over, the team relaxed with a quiet and relaxed evening at Arkadia to celebrate Tiësto’s record label Musical Freedom with some close friends, including Tommy Trash , Dada Life , Quintino , R3hab and Bassjackers . Like we said, calm and collected to get in shape for the next day of the festival. On the way Tiësto’s SiriusXM launch beckoned, and then it was on to the bayfront festival grounds. Click through to get your review on! [...]
Ever since it was announced about a month or two ago, Sunnery James + Ryan Marciano’s return to Pacha was an event we were eagerly awaiting. As you guys already know, SJ+RM are PB&J™ favorites and we’ve even interviewed them exclusively. Being that the night was taking place on St. Patty’s Day, there was already [...]
It’s Saturday, March 17th in case you were wondering. St. Patty’s day in NYC is already madness… top it off with a late night party thrown at Pacha with Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano and we’re talking all sorts of crazy. BTW, this will be the first time the duo returns to Pacha in 2012. The pair last came to Pacha NYC this past Nov. 11th, 2011 and gave the people a show to remember. The lineup is currently slated for just the duo but it’s hard to believe they won’t have [...]
