Here are a few little hidden gems I've come across and don't seem to have done the rounds yet. Just remember, you got 'em here first! Pon De Floor (Laidback Luke Remix) - Major Lazer Be The One (Armand Van Helden Club Mix) - Jack Pente Ghost Girl (Jesse Rose Vocal Dub) - Télépopmusik Dynamite - Edison
Diplo and Switch are currently two of the world's best DJ's and aren't new to the game wither. Combined they are Major Lazer , a collaboration bringing together production skills and 'DJ'ing ability to push a new music movement in the dance world. Clearly using some past influences along with some new ones the duo went to Jamaica to record their studio album "Guns don't kill people, Lazers do", which was released this month and is causing a stir. The pair did a Mini Mix for Annie Mac a few weeks back and [...]
Its tucked away, not visible between all the smoke shops and amber red glowing doorways.First thing I can say is photography is not tolerated, so leave the camera at the hotel. Hence the dodgy shot above. Some think of Japan and think about all the techy design. However, with a club that regularly invites the likes of Joris Voorn, Sasha, Digweed, etc. since spring 2000 Womb has built a reputation for being visually and sonically one of the worlds true clubbing masterpieces. It boasts 3 levels overlooking a massive dancefloor, 30 foot ceiling in the main room, a 7ft [...]
Lovers of electronic music familiarise yourselves with the man Giorgio Moroder. I'm sure most of you have heard this name dropped by music geeks similar to myself or if you have an interest in influential musicians of the 20th century. The 'heavy G' was born in Italy 69 years ago and was highly influential to all things electronic and synthesised from the 70s on. His notable works (besides his mustache) include soundtracks for big films in the 70s and 80s: Midnight Express, The Neverending Story and Electric Dreams. They probably don't match up to the attention his [...]
Tiga, whether you choose to acknowledge it or not, is one of if not the biggest thing in dance music this year. With the release of his studio album 'Ciao' and the long list of high profile electronic producers who have remixed this work he has been attracting an alarming amount of attention. He's playing at this year's Parklife tour in Australia and my prediction is that he will be headlining the main stage for the closing set of the night. It's gonna be big. The last couple [...]
Through the brand Livestrong which is now well established worldwide with over 70 million yellow wristbands sold to date, "Stages" is an art show which aims to engage and involve the creative community in the fight against cancer. Essentially, Lance Armstrong and Nike have teamed up again to put on this show for a very worthwhile cause. "It will project hope, strength and commitment to millions and carry the LIVESTRONG Global Cancer Campaign all over the world. I am humbled by the effort and energy given by so many [...]
Its winter, and this image is inviting. So nadastrom, they are sick, but they are stealth. I mean they only let you crawl, rather than walk. I would love to know how many edits, bootlegs and remixes they have. Recently on stayingsick we posted a preview of the Bart B more-make some noise(nadastrom edit) which laidback luke has been hammering. They have had segments on radio 1 for the past two weeks where they have dropped some cheeky edits. Below is their official mix of Hey. Did not see it coming, when you listen you will know what [...]
CBEAT aka Conor Bevan is a DJ from south east London. Having stumbled across his stuff a couple of months ago I have been sitting on this mix for a while now. The style of music is quite relaxed and could be compared to a compilation like MOS Chillout Sessions. This set I've included is a cruisey mix of disco house tunes. Let's lounge. Right Into It - CBEAT Track list: Donald Byrd and 125th Street NYC - Love Has Come Around Sister Sledge - Lost In Music (The Revenge [...]
This week s around the world features the pioneering, unique and boundary breaking space of Fabric. With a capacity of 1000 it is easy to lose yourself inside its wall. The pioneering take on music is what separates it from the rest. Never once sacrificing even he smallest shred of music integrity, their lineups are a perfect alchemy with just about every genre represented. The real boundary breaker here is if a new sound rises then Fabric will stick their neck out to provide the platform. The club was founded by Keith Reilly and Cameron Leslie and opened [...]
Newish song from the Electro duo MSTRKRFT's album "Fist of God" that was released on the March 17th 2009. It has the vocal of John Legend, which some remixers have utilized very well.

As the northern hemisphere hits the peak of the summer season so does the party scene north of the equator. With this comes a timely and large influx of new music being put out there by musicians, producers and remixes. Over the past few weeks I've received a stupid amount of music. After sorting the good from the bad I've decided to give 13 of the most played tracks that I've recently discovered. Here's some fresh, new music. In no particular order. Audacity Of Huge - Simian Mobile Disco [...]
Have I got some beef and cheese for you all? One of my (and everybody's) all time favourites, The Avalanches, have been rudely biding their time to release a new album, a follow up to 2001's Since I Left You. Well, it turns out they're clearing samples for its (hopefully) swift release, but in the meantime, here are some older gems of theirs. First up is my favourite mix of all time, 2000's Gimix. It holds up better than any mix I've heard, and hey, it's almost a decade old, so if you aren't a fan, dying would [...]
So the last couple of weeks we've had some pretty heavy mixes. Especially with Djedjotronic last week so this week I thought I'd take it back a step and give you a very pleasurable set from one of my favourite artists. These two guys (ones a dad!) are from Germany and are true musicians, as anyone who's seen their live set will tell you. I've been lucky enough to catch them a few times actually. A couple here in Australia and also over in Europe at 'I Love Techno'. I was even fortunate enough to meet them. This set is [...]
Welcome to the first "Around the world" post. These posts will be sharing images and the information needed for going out in some of the worlds biggest night clubs. Being from Australia, we have no idea of capacity of international clubbing, unless your well travelled. From sound to VIP areas, what ever idea you think of, times it by 50 and that would be reality. I also invite any one who has visited the club to comment on their experience s. Kicking off the first post is a Club or an institution in Berlin, Germany. The [...]
Zombie Nation is actually just one man from the nation Germany, Florian Senfter. He resides in Munich and is currently jumping all over Europe playing sets pretty much everywhere. Here's the exciting part... His coming to the land of OZ. The sauerkraut lover is coming to Australia for the first time in November and doing a pretty solid tour of the whole country starting off in sunny Sydney on Nov 28. His most recent studio album Zombielicious is his fourth release and was completely written and produced solely by Senfter. 'Forza' was the big single [...]
Shadowdancer are two brothers, Al & Paul Farrier from Manchester. They have released 4 brilliant electronica tracks on one of the biggest electro wizards' label i.e. Boysnoize Records and gained a fair respect and support by the likes of Mr. Oizo, Erol Alkan, Feadz and 2ManyDJs. Shadow Dancer wil be starting an Australian Tour on 29th of August. Download: Shadow Dancer-Great Snakes Original Mix.mp3 Download: Trackademicks-Enjoy What You Do (Shadow Dancer Remix).mp3 [...]
Djedjotronic is yet another french cat to emerge onto the electro scene. Since signed to Boys Noise Records the Parisian is getting around and next month is coming to the land down under for his first OZ Tour. This weeks mix is one that Djedjotronic did this month titled the Mixolater Mixtape. The reason it stood out is the range of songs his decided to include ranging from old stuff (like early 90's old!) to stuff so fresh it's not even ripe yet. For example the opening track is a golden oldy, "It's time for the percolator!" which then drops [...]
Since summer is well underway in the northern hemisphere, music production goes up 10 fold. Everyone wants to these their music ready for the summer as summer in Europe is party time. So I have been noticing a few tracks getting about and thought I would give you a preview. First one is a relatively new one by Larry Tee that was released at the start of May, remixed by afrojack. Its got the vocal and a de-constructed feel about it. Being played by LBL and the likes. [...]
Trying to celebrate Michael Jackson's catalogue of music through an eclectic assortment of remixes I pulled up on my iTunes really demonstrates the impact of his music. The complexity, forward-thinking, production and the innate charisma he is able to impart into his music simply cannot be rivaled, certainly not by these remixes. Despite my lack of salesmanship, here is an ad hoc collection of remixes that are, at least, a bit of fun. What a talented and creepy, creepy man. Thriller (Louis La Roche Remix) - Michael Jackson I Can't [...]
