Since going Behind The Booth with DA , Sebastian Ingrosso has been busy mixing his next installment of Refune Radio. Ingrosso wastes no time pumping up the energy, launching this month's belter with NO_ID's remix of " Leave A Light On ." Older fans will be pleased to hear a classic in the mix as he drops "For Sale," the 2005 track that he co-produced with Steven Angello while they were still using the Buy Now moniker. Ingrosso shows love to another good friend , Eric Prydz – or Mr. Shrimp, as Seb would call him – [...]
If there's anything we've learned from watching Dada Life music videos, it's that nothing is off limits and that Olle and Stefan really like to lip sync. Dada Life's official video for "Kick Out The Epic Motherfucker" doesn't feature any bikini-clad women, but it does feature the duo breaking lots and lots of stuff. Most Dada Life videos are a little weird — and this one is no different — though it definitely has a different feel than a video like their more recent " Rolling Stones T-Shirt ." Click play above to see for yourselves, and [...]
Alesso's latest remix of Keane's "Silenced By The Night" was supposed to be out a few days ago, but you know the saying: good things come to those who wait. As we observed about a month ago when he gave us an official preview of the track, Alesso preserves the integrity of Keane's uplifting vocal while adding a tranquil blend of synth undertones that make the track big but not overwhelming. This is pretty much par for the course with what we've come to expect from Alesso, who has just been smashing it lately, with an enormous Essential [...]

It's been way too quiet on the Sensation America front, but now we're told we should know a whole lot more before May is out . The familiar teaser video just hit our email inboxes (again) along with the promise of an event announcement and launch party on May 31st. The simple invite tells recipients to "tell them we are coming" — so that's exactly what we've decided to do. We have been hearing things for a few months now about possible locations and venues for the incredible event, so hopefully we'll have some confirmations very soon! [...]

Avicii's new stage production has been turning heads ( zing) since it debuted at Coachella, and it has been a major selling point of his upcoming LE7ELS arena tour . It looks like the head is a little too ahead of its time, and AtNight has decided to shift around some dates to make the necessary tweaks. For starters, the tour will kick off on June 7th (as opposed to May 17th) in Tampa, and will visit Canada towards the end of the tour as opposed to the beginning. Ash Pournouri, Avicii's manager, said that "We can not [...]
Massive event production company Live Nation has purchased Cream Holdings, the British company responsible for the European festival brand, Creamfields. In addition to the assets acquired, Cream's founder James Barton will become president of Live Nation's Electronic Music division. Live Nation CEO Michael Rapino has already revealed that the company intends to launch new festivals "in key markets in North America, Europe and Southeast Asia." We don't know exactly what this means for the already crowded event space, but given the latest Creamfields UK lineup , we wouldn't mind seeing that festival make it stateside. [...]

Only eight days remain till the first Group Therapy LA show, and right on cue Above & Beyond have released the official Group Therapy Miami film. The event, held during Miami Music Week 2012, was essentially a mini-Anjunabeats festival (and offered a preview of what the Group Therapy arena might look like at EDC Las Vegas). Featuring performances from Boom Jinx, Andrew Bayer, Arty, Mat Zo, and the mighty Above & Beyond themselves, the Group Therapy Miami film reminds us that magic really does exist. See you all at the Shrine!
It is hard to deny the rise of Derek Vincent Smith in these past couple of years, reaching heights only matched by his stature. Under the moniker, Pretty Lights, Smith releases all his music for free through his website, which is heavily attributed to his dramatic rise to fame as others have experienced such as Skrillex. Pretty Lights' earlier work focused heavily on digital sampling of vintage funk and soul, and his shows consisted solely of his equipment, himself, and a drummer. With EDM undeniably sweeping across America, he's adapted his style to glitch-hop with dirty grimy bass [...]

Some producers push the envelope with their work, creating sounds far beyond unique and past a genre of their own. Congorock is one of those producers, having an electro establishment, the Italian DJ flirts with tribal and rock influenced sounds that rattle traditional EDM. His 2011 single " Ivory ," displays his versatility with the use of "elephant bass," which sounds like just that. Over five months later, "Ivory" is reborn on Ultra Records with its remix package that features work from Laidback Luke, The Bloody Beetroots, Mumbai Science, and NT89. The already thumping track now has renditions that reflect [...]
