While Armin van Buuren 's latest studio album hits iTunes this Friday and has already begun streaming via Spotify , the lead single from  Intense  has received its music video with an unexpected cameo. Aiding the visuals for " This Is What It Feels Like " is Armin himself, vocalist Trevor Guthrie, and porn star Ron Jeremy.

What do we know about Nicolas Jaar? He was born in New York, lived in Chile, studied comparative literature at Brown, he's the label owner of Clown & Sunset and, oh yeah , he won Radio 12s Essential Mix of the Year in 2012. While he's earned recognition in Europe for his masterful album and famed performance from Barcelona's  Sonar Festival , the American music scene is slowly catching on. The Red Bull Music Academy hosted Jaar and his Clown & Sunset   label two months back for Jaar's Boiler Room debut, and the results were stunning. Jaar's headlining [...]

Resident Advisor,  in conjunction with Red Bull Music Academy, has returned with the latest volume of their Real Scenes series, and this time New York City is the focus. New York means a lot of things to a lot of different people, but the overarching theme  RA  and RMBA land on for this mini-documentary is the hard-ass mentality and hypercreativity it takes to survive as an artist in the city. Not that this theme should ever be confined to America's largest city, but it's more about the way in which residents view themselves and their own plight in relation to [...]

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 [...]

With the annual Size Matters pool party manned by Steve Angello set to take over Miami's Fountainebleau tomorrow, we take a look at the 2010 event and recognize how much has changed over the past three years. Without a pool party for his own brand, Afrojack had  opened  for Steve in 2010 after releasing "Pacha on Acid" via Size Records. Standing among a DJ booth and production settings that are far less complex than modern arrangements, Afrojack closes his set with "Hide & Seek" and introduces Steve Angello, who had just begun heating up with Swedish House Mafia.

Get More: Music News MTV and Vello Virkhaus of V Squared Labs take us behind the scenes of the production of the Ultra mainstage visuals. Little elements like visual production are sometimes overlooked but they are undoubtedly integral pieces of an events overall vibe. Virkhaus explains that their goal was to create images that would reflect the importance of an occasion as momentous as the festival's 15th anniversary. Weekend two attendees can expect to see individually curated visual journeys for several artists including Dirty [...]

The mainstream media-dance music collision chugs full speed ahead with this Doritos ad featuring Diplo's anthemic track, " Express Yourself ." The commercial includes a chromed out whip, a valet, a police officer, a banana, and the obligatory nacho cheese chip. At the end we're reminded Doritos are "for the bold," a fitting tagline for a commercial scored by the former Blackberry Bold poster child.

It happened almost 365 days ago, but it feels like only yesterday that Madonna strut to the center of Ultra Music Festival's main stage to claim that she has been at Ultra in spirit for many years, that a DJ saved her life, and to ask the crowd how many people had seen Molly. These statements became so controversial, many had forgotten what she was  actually  doing on stage that night - introducing Avicii  and premiering their "Girl Gone Wild" collaboration.

The news that Richie Hawtin and Deadmau5 would be performing a back-to-back set following their panel traveled rather quickly. It's not often (never?) that the two take the stage together and it was without a doubt  one of the most talked about moments of SXSW. Although an official high quality video from the event has yet to hit the web, one lucky attendee was kind enough to upload an 11-minute snippet of their performance. It isn't much, but it does give us a glimpse into their techno takedown. [...]

With news of TomorrowWorld's leaked location  pervading the blogosphere like wildfire, ID&T are being careful not to steal too much hype from the original Belgium-based location. Hence, the official pre-movie for Tomorrowland 2013 has been released today, and it's just as cinematic and fantastical as the previous Tomorrowland installments. As opposed to the massive Tomorrowland recap videos that have preceded it, 20132s official pre-movie puts extra emphasis on other aspects of the festival such as dining, camping and scenery, although the wide angle crowd shots are just as prevalent. Whether you're planning on attending the Belgium festival [...]

It was only last week that The M Machine released their Metropolis Part II EP , but just a few days later and they're back with the official music video for "Tiny Anthem." The cartoon animated video follows a female superhero as she embarks on an Alice and Wonderland  type space adventure complete with kaleidoscopic visuals. There's no Mad Hatter or White Rabbit but there are trippy hippie aliens. Where most music videos fail, the directors of "Tiny Anthem" succeed. Rather than put together concert footage and call it a music video, Chet Knebel and [...]

The sea of electronic music is deep and vast, sparking endless amounts of creativity among it's most passionate proponents. Sure, most guys stick to CDJs and MPCs, but in the world of controllerism experimental artists are combining technology in unique and interesting ways. UK-Grammy nominee, j.viewz, shows us just how far you can take the concept, using electrical current and vegetables to recreate his track "Teardrop." While not practical for any real world use, it's undeniably cool. Who says you shouldn't play with your food? You just finished reading Watch This: j.viewz gives [...]

Want to see what the Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso were up to in 2007, before the hype of Swedish House Mafia began? Stockholm’s notorious F12 Terrassen outdoor club is where many of the famous Swedes' careers took off. It's small and intimate setting that allows for an up close and personal feel as captured by this video – just a little different from the shows they’re playing now. The pair play  Prydz ’ “RYMD,” a testament to the fourth,  “lost member” of SHM - Prydz parted ways with the group around the same time. Wish SHM still [...]

It has been a decade since  Carl Cox brought his Global radio show, where he has became somewhat of a taste-maker to the worlds of acid house and techno, to the masses. His 500th episode landed at this year's Amsterdam Dance Event and the mini documentary above showcases this momentous occasion. Cox joins big names like  Armin van Buuren and Tiesto in using mini documentaries like this to give fans an inside look at what goes on behind the scenes.

Skrillex may have  swept the Grammys  before the show even got underway last night, but that didn't mean the party was over for dance music. Perhaps the night's most popular moment of face time for electronic acts came not during the ceremony, but during a commercial break. CoverGirl's newest poster women, Liv and Mim Nervo, broke down their DJ/songwriting career, the Grammys, and creativity in this minute-long, behind the scenes clip. Comparisons between DJing and nail polish aside, Nervo's Grammy ad put dance music on the national stage once again. You just finished reading [...]
