May 30, 20169 yr Apprently David Bowie was talking about working with Skrillex before he passed away. I doubt he would have been prepared to work with someone who uncredited/ripped-off samples like this - so I am inclined to believe that he didn't as he demonstrated in this tweet: https://twitter.com/skrillex/status/736328422901714944
May 30, 20169 yr 'Sorry' isn't really dance music it is more pop...why is it in 'dance in the news'....I know Skrillex is a dance music producer, but Sorry isn't really a dance song imo. :unsure: 'sorry' is definitely dance ~ hence it features in 'dance in the news' ~ 'sorry' is dance in reality~ :P :lol:
June 2, 20169 yr http://www.youredm.com/2016/06/01/calvin-h...or-swift-break/ Though their relationship seemed perfect on the surface, it seems that some underlying roughness has resulted in Calvin Harris & Taylor Swift breaking up. The news was first reported by People, and corroborated by Billboard. The two were dating for 15 months and just called it quits. They celebrated their one-year anniversary not too long ago on a tropical island, and Taylor Swift was also seen supporting Calvin Harris in a big way at Coachella – even helping to tease his latest release with Rihanna. Despite being the now former richest couple in music, things don’t always work out. But the fact remains… Calvin Harris & Taylor Swift have broken up! “There was no drama. Things just don’t work out sometimes,” says an insider. This is good news for any die-hard Taylor Swift fans who have been begging for her next breakup single/album.
July 25, 20168 yr The legendary DJ Fresh has formally announced his retirement from touring, citing multiple reasons including his health, and an industry that he believes to be “fake” and “soul destroying.” The British producer will finish out his remaining dates in 2016, before going on indefinite hiatus in January. DJ Fresh got his start as part of pioneering drum ‘n’ bass act Bad Company, alongside Maldini, dBridge, and Vegas. In 2006, he released his acclaimed solo album, Escape From Planet Monday. In the years after, he’s continued pursuing his solo career, finding widespread commercial success with huge singles like “Gold Dust” (which Flux Pavilion iconically remixed), “Louder,” “Hot Right Now,” and “Earthquake” alongside Diplo. It is unclear at this time if DJ Fresh will continue releasing music during his hiatus. Read his full statement below. http://uploads.dancingastronaut.com/2016/07/Screen-Shot-2016-07-24-at-1.29.58-PM.png SOURCE: http://dancingastronaut.com/2016/07/dj-fre...-part-industry/ -x- First it's Deorro, then Avicii, and now DJ Fresh :o There must be something wrong with the touring industry if these people are giving it up..
July 25, 20168 yr oh wait wait wait, how long ago Deorro did the same? Have I overslept something? And again, what's wrong with music industry this time... F**king cancer, hope Fresh is okay already. Anyway, his situation is way more reasonable than the others'.

July 29, 20168 yr AVICII’S “LEVELS” TURNS 5 YEARS OLD! If you’ve never heard Avicii’s “Levels” at this point in time, I’m questioning what you’re doing reading this article. Perhaps one of the most iconic tracks in all of electronic music, “Levels” was first played in its final form in March 2011, during Avicii’s set at Ultra Music Festival. The track was officially released in October of that year, and made many fall in love with EDM. Its mainstream success allowed it to reach millions of people worldwide, opening up a gateway to a whole new community many had previously never been exposed to. Progressive house was at a peak about 4ish years ago, with acts like Swedish House Mafia, Alesso, and, of course, Avicii, regularly gracing mainstage revelers with melodic, emotional sets. Big-room was still in its early stages of conception, with the occasional track like W&W’s “Thunder” making its way into the mix. However, it was in no way the main focus of the set, as melodic, progressive tracks like “Levels” made up the majority of these headlining spots. Artists realized its happy-go-lucky sounds were what people wanted to hear, and, as is the case with any ‘fad’ in music, many sought to replicate its vibes, shifting the path of electronic music towards progressive house. However, the success and support that “Levels” received was not just limited to prog-house, as it broke through numerous barriers and spawned remixes from all across the dance music community, with Skrillex’s remix being one of the most notable. At least for me personally, it introduced me to the early sounds of dubstep, opening up a whole new genre that still finds ways to impress me to this day. Love it or hate it, the influence that “Levels” had on the scene was unparalleled, and undoubtedly laid the foundations for the modern scene, paving the way for what it is today. Relive the classic track below! Article from: http://www.youredm.com/2016/07/28/aviciis-...ns-5-years-old/ -x- hard to believe it's been five years since 'Levels' broke out and started to turn Avicii into the massive name he is. It's still one of my favourite tracks ever too! :wub:
September 9, 20168 yr SOURCE: http://www.youredm.com/2016/09/09/breaking...band-next-year/ DIE ANTWOORD REVEALS PLANS TO BREAK UP Watkin Tudor Jones and Anri Du Toit are two of the biggest names in music, but you know them better as Ninja and Yolandi Vi$$er of Die Antwoord. Since their startling aesthetic and tongue-in-cheek productions began captivating minds in 2009, the endeavor was only envisioned to be a five album project, and they’re staying true to their original intent. Ninja and Yolandi have just announced that in September 2017, Die Antwoord is over. “Die Antwoord dies on that day. It’s all over. I feel beautiful about it. I’m not scared of the end. I’m a Ninja. I’m not scared of death.” Still, their planned disbandment isn’t going to stop at a couple blog posts documenting the event. No, Die Antwoord is planning a massive art exhibition in The Museum of Contemporary Modern Art Africa, no doubt including their long-time muse and collaborator Roger Ballen, which will coincide with a fifth studio album. They’re also going to release a movie depicting the odyssey of Die Antwoord from birth to death, but we wouldn’t expect anything less from these masters of all things high-concept. In fact, the movie South African Ninja has been in the making for the last 10 years, long before Die Antwoord was a thing. “That’s been our well that we’ve been drinking from and drawing from since the beginning of Die Antwoord. We actually started writing it before Die Antwoord. So, it’s been in the background for all of our ideas, which have all come from this film. It’s a South African gangster film that has African ninjas in it. Everything in the film is fictitious, like a regular movie, but it’s hard and raw, and everything has some parallel to our lives, so it’s got a surreal connection to everything.” However, the death of Die Antwoord doesn’t necessarily mean the death of Ninja, Yolandi, or even DJ Hi Tek (now known as God). These characters have become so ingrained in Jones and Du Toit, that it would make sense for each to continue down their own path with collaborations and solo work. But Watkin Tudor Jones isn’t one to dwell on a project, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see a new alias born from the death of Die Antwoord. (If you’re feeling frisky to learn more about the group’s history, this documentary is just what you need.) Have a listen to “Fat Faded f*** Face,” Die Antwoord’s newest single before Mount Ninji and Da Nice Time Kid releases on September 16th. uDI5nXKi7e8
October 5, 20168 yr Space Ibiza SHUTS After 27 years and millions of dancers Space Ibiza is closing.

February 8, 20178 yr Disclosure have taken to social media today to announce a temporary hiatus from music :( they have reassured that they will be back but we'll have a wait on our hands!
February 9, 20178 yr Hopefully they can come back with a new/revival dance music genre type and get a big hit which will start a new dance trend (like they started the deep house trend with Latch). Loved the F for You original from them especially, when it was released.
January 10, 20187 yr Disclosure put an Instagram post up today confirming that they are about to start recording their third album. Looks like the hiatus is over *.*
