In an attempt to better provide a better musical education, Get Lifted Tonight has begun making an effort to connect with pioneers of the industry and in turn inform our followers on the roots of the music we’ve come to love so much. Hoping down to Fort Lauderdale, FL for a weekend, the GLT crew and friends met up with Damien Pinto (the voice of Ultra Music Festival), the Power Supply Productions team and lots of shimmery bodies under the sun. Most memorable of all, we had the honor of speaking with the man [...]
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 [...]
Off the back of a hero's welcome for his Cirez D moniker at this year's WMC, Eric Prydz returns with a double-dose of his darker side for his Mouseville imprint’s 18 th release. Initially premiered between his Radio One Essential Mix and subsequent appearance at Coachella, this long-overdue return strikes deep and driving techno maneuvers from the outset. Where “Thunderstuck” underpins the building velocity his darker moniker has consistently summoned, “Drums In The Deep” ornaments an otherwise outlandish spree of edgy yet whole-bodied anthems from Cirez D. The jury is in; Eric Prydz looks to [...]
Ok, so when we we're down in Miami for WMC / Ultra Music Week / Miami Music Week or whatever the fuck you want to call it we were doing a shit ton of interviews with DJs and producers at our Artist Series Media Lounge. Most of our day was really spent waiting around for people to show up, so we passed the time by drinking either beer, Red Bull, Perrier or some combination with Tequila and Vodka, so it wasn't so bad. At the end of the day on Thursday (we think) we spotted a pink haired [...]
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 [...]

Two electronic music heavyweights came together during WMC at Villa 221 to put on a performance only memorable enough for a WMC occasion. Seth Troxler and Tiga , two names that sit atop the DJ pyramid, combined their DJ dexterity for a two-hour voyage of the most forward-thinking and innovative sounds in dance music. If you follow the two on Twitter you know their not just acquaintances through the same field of work but actually pretty affable towards one another. The set is almost like two kids trying to out do each other with each track - in the most playful may possible, [...]
In place of our normal weekly Editors' Selections, we decided we'd share with you our staff's greatest memories of Miami Music Week 2013. We were on the ground at Ultra both weekends, all over pool decks, rooftops, yachts, buses, clubs, and cabanas - trying to soak in as many experiences (and DJ sets) as we possibly could. Everyone had that magic moment, that one thing they'll be able to recall twenty years down the line. Read on to relive with us. Dylan Farella, Senior Editor: [...]
Bowling may seem an odd choice for an extra-curricular WMC outing given Miami’s reputation for glamour and hedonism, but not so for the lovable mess of misfits at San Francisco's tech funk label Dirtybird . A sacrosanct safe haven for eclectic personalities and sounds, the label is known for being just as forward-thinking as it is, well, fun. On WMC Wednesday, a local Lucky Strike became ground zero for the label artists and lucky attendees aboard the MOX Bus , which featured such daily “takeovers” by various labels throughout the week. [...]
We caught up with TJR as the dust was settling from another fabulous Winter Music Conference in Miami. An avid golfer and current Los Angeles resident saw his production career take off once he moved to the west coast. TJR got into production after relentlessly working on his live DJ skills. Last year he released "Ode to Oi," one of his biggest tracks to date. Check out what he had to say... TJR - Ode To Oi (Original) [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , Exclusive , RPM Getty Images It's my third day in Miami and I feel great, so after a couple of hours of work, I climb to the roof of my hotel to see who's around. Fool's Gold boss Nick Catchdubs is DJing his label's party at the pool , so I have breakfast beers with my L.A. buddy Christine Morales, while L.A.'s legendary mayor/rap kingpin Mike [...]
For those in the know, the Red Bull Guest House (aka the Dream South Beach Hotel on every other week of the year) was a WMC hot spot this year for catching marquee talents in an intimate setting populated by sunbathing models and A-list onlookers. With eye-opening lineups featuring the likes and labels of Skrillex, A-Trak, and Boys Noize, the poolside performance spot mostly catered to more new-school genres like electro, dubstep and trap over the course of the past week. Carl Craig teaches old school techno to a brave new Miami at Boiler Room WMC [...]
Here comes a special freebie courtesy of Disfunktion . The Dutch duo made this energetic bootleg specifically for their live sets in Miami last week and have now decided to share it with their fans. They were able to successfully take the already funky, festival-worthy grooves of Oliver 's MYB original and pack even more irresistible bounce into the equation - making for one seriously fun and catchy effort that is meant to be played at loud volumes. Enjoy! DOWNLOAD Bonus: M83, Eric Prydz & Rihanna - Diamond City [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , Exclusive , RPM , EDM Robert Snow On my second day in Miami , the contrast between SXSW and WMC becomes even more apparent. It's 2PM and Blood Diamonds, a giant in a black cape and amulets , is DJing Skrillex 's OWSLA record label's Red Bull Guest House showcase . It's grey out, the sky looks like concrete, and [...]
Stream Jamie XX and John Talabot’s b2b set from Miami last weekend “Last weekend, John Talabot swapped sunny Barcelona for the even sunnier shores of Miami to go back to back with Jamie XX on the decks for east London’s NTS radio show with Nic Tasker and Young Turks . Talabot’s debut album, ‘Fin’, finally released on cult label Permanent Vacation last year was crafted purely from his impressively extensive analogue synth collection, resulting in a beautifully warm and rich house LP. Whilst Jamie xx has [...]
The Young Turks crew invaded Miami during this past Winter Music Conference, playing sets full of house, soul, disco, dub, and funk all over the city. Jamie xx brought along label friends including Pional and John Talabot, both from Spain. The crew played at Bardot in Wynwood, Red Bull Guest House at the Dream Hotel, Cafeina, and closed out the weekend at the Soho Beach House. Jamie xx and John Talabot both are both impressive in their own right and their knowledge of music is unmatched. These guys push the boundaries of the dance floor over and over [...]
(Flight Facilities) Friday night of WMC brought me the event that I had been waiting for all week: FIXED. As a Brooklyn transplant, I know the FIXED parties to always be amazing, having spent pretty much every week of 2012 going to these parties around NYC. The FIXED promoters know how to choose a flawless [...]
Winter Music Conference in Miami was one of the greatest weeks for music consumption and music discovery of my life thus far. I walked away feeling the most fortunate for catching Jamie XX and the rest of the Young Turks crew, who were all the most humble and nicest of people, during two of their WMC showcases. On Friday night during the show at Bardot none other than Florence Welch was in the building, dancing gracefully through the crowd. Florence came out to [...]
