There's no doubt in anyone's mind that Miami during WMC is absolute insanity. Artists, Label Reps, Publicists, Bloggers and fans are rushing around the streets of South Beach, bouncing from party to party, trying to get the most out of their experience. This year was our first year working it, and we definitely had far too much stacked on our plate. With that being said, we unfortunately couldn't sit down with Seven Lions in person. As many of you know from posts in the past, Seven Lions is a TMN favorite. His melodic and often aggressive style [...]

María y José C L U B N E G R O Casete México, 2013 Calificación: 9.3 Cómprenlo en: iTunes Por: @soyvelez En la década pasada, se hablaba del Nortec como el último género musical hecho en México. Cuando parecía que la innovación en este país había llegado a su punto más bajo, el norte orgulloso volvió a rugir. Una vez más [...]
With festival season upon us, there comes some trouble and heartache along the way. With so many amazing artists, stages, sights and sounds to see, one may find it difficult to conquer it all simultaneously, unless of course you are an extraterrestrial being. Naturally, you must pick and choose your music battles wisely, which is a nerving and tumultuous task. Luckily, LessThan3 is here to lend a helping hand (and ear) for this year's Electric Daisy Carnival New York. Eric Prydz It would take [...]

El festival con base en Miami, Florida, anunció que el primer bloque de boletos para la edición 2014 tendrá un costo de $149 dólares (este precio incluye el acceso a todos los días del festival).

[Ta-ku] We first heard Mt Eden ’s anthem “Sierra Leone” back in 2010- a time when some of our favorite shows to attend were those of Datsik , Excision , and B. Rich (who now goes by Kastle ). Since then, our personal preferences have clearly shifted. However, yesterday, we received a welcome dose of nostalgia when we learned that Mt Eden was finally releasing “Sierra Leone” (officially) alongside a handful of remixes courtesy of araabMUZIK , Ta-ku , Tommie Sunshine , and Live [...]
Sunday dawned hot and bright, and a pleasant tingle of electric energy crackled in the humid morning air. Day 3 was about to begin in full force, and even after 2 long days filled with ample amounts of dancing and limited quantities of sleep, our motley crew was chomping on the metaphorical, neon-tinged bit. We spent the early part of the afternoon avoiding the crowds and oppressive heat of the few hours of the festival frenzy, opting instead to cool down at the nearby Epic Hotel pool as we geared up for our last [...]
Thomas Gold is no new name to the house music world, dare I even say to the music world. He has already had an incredible year that will continue into the summer festival season that is slowly creeping up on us. We were beyond excited to get to spend some one on one time with Gold while scaling the Ultra Music scene in Miami a few weeks back and we are thrilled that we get a second opportunity to sit down with the house legend to go beyond the music and really discover what makes Gold so Gold. [...]

Tras el buen sabor de boca al escuchar “ De Cuando Aún Había Esperanza” esperábamos impacientes la llegada de "Ultra" , el nuevo álbum de los gallegos Disco las Palmeras!, un LP que ya tenemos disponible en streaming. Es hora de comprobar si estamos ante un digno sucesor del excelente "Nihil Obstat". "Ultra" tiene como fecha de salida el 22 de abril vía Matapadr e . [...]
Friday of Ultra Music Festival Weekend 2 had passed and the day's talents had not disappointed. Well and rested 60,000+ ravers marched backed into Bayfront Park for a full day of non-stop electronic music. The clouds and rain had subsided and Ultra once again returned to classic Miami weather. Saturday was full of sunshine and bass, featuring the Drop Zone and Trapped tents. It was truly incredible to see 'Trap' as a genre receive its own stage to showcase the various talented artists that have emerged in the past year. Concert go-ers were ready [...]
A few weeks may have passed since the last set at Ultra, but the video production crew behind the festival decided they won't let the memories fade. They've just recently put out a special recap video as a way of saying thank you to all the festival goers and online viewers who tuned into the live stream. The video included shows all of the special moments from the festival to keep forever in your mind. An official after-movie is in the works as well, which is scheduled to be released in June. #RELIVEULTRA
Fedde Le Grand took Ultra 's main stage by storm last month, and it all started with an unidentified opening track that had fans in awe. This week, Fedde returns to tease that production with a nearly 30-second snippet. "Rockin' N' Rollin'" is a party-starter tested and proven at America's biggest dance party, and will be released via Flamingo Recordings on a date still unknown. The mere snippet captures what the club-rocker will be all about, but anticipation builds for the original record. You just finished reading Fedde Le Grand teases 'Rockin [...]
Sander Van Doorn celebrates another triumphant run at Winter Music Conference with an official after movie showcasing another year of hard work and play in the name of electronic dance music. With eight years of mainstay action (the conference and its high profile events alike), Sander pinpoints the high energy nature of this essential calendar mark against the back drop of an exclusive new track from the Doorn Records maestro himself. Launching between press spots, boat rides, and numerous DJ cameos for the likes of UMF and Spinnin Sessions alike, it takes just two [...]
Over the past six months, 200,000 people have streamed Le Youth's sunshine disco remix of Cassie's "Me & U," and now Ultra have picked up the track for a legit, sample-cleared single release, out July ... read more
On the final day of Ultra 2013 , a 21-year-old Swede was one (now retired) Swedish House Mafia set away from closing the festival on the main stage. Following twenty minutes of vocally-absent hard-hitting beats, Alesso 's set was live streamed for the world, and was recorded to become immortalized as one of the weekend's best. His future hit, "Palladium," along with the bootleg of "Laktos" and "Calling" worked wonders throughout, but his closing track " If I Lose Myself " became one of the highlights of the weekend. [...]

After a slight hiatus, Wolfgang Gartner has returned with a pair of new singles-the recently released Anaconda , and the brand new Overdose . Overdose features the voice of Danish singer Medina and showcases Wolfgang's familiar electro synths. The vocals go very well with the bouncy basslines and harken back to tracks from Wolfgang's album Weekend in America like Still My Baby and Circus Freaks . Released by Ultra Records , [...]
While Pioneer CDJs were easily the platform of choice for DJs at Ultra, both Zedd and Porter Robinson took to their MIDI controllers on Sunday for two hours of rapid and thrilling mixing. Though the world of DJ’ing has been continuously dominated by variations of the CDJ for more than 10 years now, Zedd and Porter’s rise to fame has been facilitated not by the trusty digital CD player, but by Native Instrument’s small, compact, all-in-one MIDI controller: the Traktor Kontrol S4. Both Zedd and Porter have received heat for their use of the controller, as the age-old [...]

When Deadmau5 was revealed as a headliner for Ultra, the announcement had the quality of a Daft Punk rumor. Hadn’t he sworn to never again play the festival? Hadn’t he been wholly absent from the 2012 U.S. festival circuit? Hadn’t he called out “EDM” as “Event-driven marketing?” Well, he had. But yet, there was the lineup with his name on it. Oh you. Deadmau5. You’re so random. Perhaps ironically, mau5 was billed with a live set for the two-weekend extravaganza, leaving David Guetta and Tiesto to the DJ sets and joining the ranks of Crystal Castles [...]
Avicii made a splash at Ultra Music Festival last weekend when he brought a slew of live musicians to the main stage to perform music from his forthcoming album. Of those artists were country legend Mac Davis, Incubus members Mike Einziger, Ben Kenney, and Jose Pasillis II. This was no a random festival charade - these were the artists (among Nile Rodgers and Mike Shinoda) that have contributed to the album's production . In a recent interview with KROQ, Incubus guitarist Mike Einziger opens up about his experience working with Avicii in the studio, joining him at Ultra last weekend, and [...]

It was a festival within the festival. Major Lazer came suited in tuxedos, but with no intentions to keep their performance formal. While Ultra's live stage is one that remains shy for most of the weekend, the amphitheater packed out for Diplo and company, anxious for the music, but more the experience. The squad became their own electronic version of Barnum & Bailey, pulling out all the circus tricks in the book - only without a ring of fire or a red foam nose. The spectacle was like nothing that had been displayed throughout both weekends - not at Carl [...]
