May 3, 20214 yr Pierce Fulton, 28, passed away on Thursday, 27.04.2021, due to "a tragic struggle with mental health". god why
May 3, 20214 yr Sad to read news of yet another dance producer losing their battle with mental health so young. :( He was perhaps best known for collabing with Martin Garrix & Mike Shinonda GTaOXDmD3qk Although my fave of his was the 2014 single 'Kuaga' (which later got a vocal mix which isn't quite as good) 8NQMkGUD86Y Sadly didn't hear any of his work besides those two.
May 4, 20214 yr RIP :( Waiting For Tomorrow, his track with Martin Garrix and Mike Shinoda from Linkin Park posted above, was a #1 on my personal chart in 2018 :wub: and Kuaga was decent (without the vocals) too.

November 17, 20213 yr Syrian singer / electronic musician and one time Eledan BJSC entrant Omar Souleyman has been arrested in Turkey for… terrorism :o https://djmag.com/news/omar-souleyman-arres...lPJXtUbzK9r1GAk Omar Souleyman, the Syrian singer famous for his fusion of traditional dabke music with electronic beats, has been arrested on terrorism charges, The Guardian reports. The artist, whose real name is Omar Almasikh, was arrested by local authorities during a raid of his home in the south eastern Turkish city of Urfa, near the Syrian border. Souleyman’s manager confirmed the reason for his arrest this to AFP, stating that the artist was being questioned over alleged involvement with the PKK, or Kurdistan Workers' Party, who are proscribed as a terrorist organisation by Ankara, the US, UK and EU. According to the Guardian, Souleyman’s son has denied the terrorism charges made against his father, stating that he has no political affiliations and that a “malicious report” had been filed against him. At the time of writing, Souleyman has reportedly not yet returned home, though his manager has reportedly said that he expects him to be released later today (17th November). The 55-year-old artist, who has toured the world and worked with artists including Four Tet, Gorillaz’ Damon Albarn, Diplo, Björk and Gilles Peterson, reportedly underwent a health check at a local hospital before being taken by authorities for further questioning. Souleyman left Syria along with millions of others in the midst of the country’s civil war. His music became an international sensation, and he has performed at festivals including Glastonbury and Pitchfork Music Festival. Listen to his hit ‘Warni Warni’ below
January 5, 20223 yr Dimension has brought about the first case of Omicron to New Zealand but for now hasn’t faced prosecution. He had broke quarantine rules and then later tested positive. Big shame as he was my favourite DnB producer but yeah this is indefensible. :/ https://djmag.com/news/british-dj-avoids-pr...mBj-ih2_SFvVLyI
January 5, 20223 yr Reading the story though, he did quarantine and tested positive on day 12 having been negative on day 9. I don't think he should become some sort of pariah because of this; it happens and if it wasn't him we wouldn't have heard about it. 12 days after arriving in NZ suggests he's caught from someone there anyway no?
January 12, 20223 yr Nice to share some good news for a change… Becky is engaged! :heart: @1480991799179157504
March 28, 20223 yr Hardwell is officially back after a 3,5-year hiatus. :heart: @1508249035689365509 Edited March 28, 20223 yr by MandaliCow
March 28, 20223 yr I went to such an effort in 2018 to see him live at Mysteryland because he spoke about that being it and he was done with touring. I'm glad he's going to continue
April 27, 20223 yr Ferry Corsten Was Inducted Into The Order Of Oranje-Nassau By The Dutch Royal Family https://edmmaniac.com/ferry-corsten-was-ind...h-royal-family/ Famed Dutch Trance DJ Ferry Corsten has been given one of the Dutch Royal Family’s highest honors: The Order Of Oranje-Nassau. Similar to being knighted by the British Royal Family, those in The Order Of Oranje-Nassau have made significant cultural contributions to their country and beyond. Corsten is the third Dutch DJ to receive the honor followed by Armin Van Buuren in 2011 and Tiësto in 2003. Peter Oskam, the mayor of Capelle aan den IJssel, led a surprise ceremony in the city on behalf of King Willem-Alexander. “I can’t put into words how much of an honour being presented with this award is for me. As a passionately proud Dutch native and as an artist who has just wanted to share all the beautiful sides of dance music with the world since day one. To be recognised by the Dutch Royal family means so much. Thank you,” said Corsten when accepting the award on stage. Next month, Corsten will embark on his “What The F” tour that will see him play music spanning his entire career. Now those shows are sure to be extra special as he celebrates this incredible honor with dance floors all over the world.
