The New York Times ran an article today on Distant Heat, a Middle-Eastern dance music festival.
Stephen Farrell of the NYT did a great job at capturing the feel of an electronic event and includes quotes from Ferry Corsten and Alex M.O.R.P.H.
You can read the article and watch a video here.

Weekly shows update
- If you're reading this blog and happen to live in the northwest, Brad Miller is returning home to play a show at Trinity in Seattle on August 14.
- Ferry Corsten is returning to New York, this time at Pacha, on October 1.
- I made an error on a previous post saying that Aly & Fila would be at Pacha this Friday. Instead, it will be John O'Callaghan and Matt Darey performing that night, with Mike Saint-Jules, Wayde Rafnel, and others playing some of the other rooms in the club. Danny Tenaglia will be at Pacha the following night.
- Hot Natured, the duo of Lee Foss (Culprit, Wolf + Lamb) and Jamie Jones (Culprit, Hot Creations) will be playing a daytime show from 2pm-Midnight at the Rivington Hotel on September 18. If you haven't heard their new track "Wintertime", it's worth checking out.
And lastly, the reason why I haven't been doing so many of these lately is because most of the shows for July were announced at the beginning of the summer, leaving substantial updates few and far between.

After the Rebel Rave Tour visits Pacha on Friday, DJ Boris will be playing the venue on Saturday, followed by a Sunday evening show by Chus & Ceballos and Louie Vega & Anane.
Lastly, Friday is the first event of the trio of Nokia Theatre shows with Ferry Corsten playing, and Chris Lake will be at Cielo on Valentine's Day.

Nokia Theatre in Times Square: A New Home for Dance Music in NYC?
In case you haven't heard already, Made Event, one of New York City's premier booking/promotion groups for dance music, has booked a trio of shows for the Nokia Theatre in Times Square, sponsored by Armani Exchange:

February 12 - Ferry Corsten & John Dahlback
March 19 - ATB
March 20 - Eric Prydz & Sebastian Leger
Although the biggest names in trance and house (Tiesto, Armin Van Buuren, Paul Van Dyk, Deadmau5, David Guetta, etc.) have always been coming to NYC to play in such venues as the Hammerstein Ballroom, Roseland Ballroom, and Pacha, the Nokia Theatre is beneficial to the local scene in three ways:
1) It accommodates a decent amount of people- 2,100, while being in the heart of Manhattan. Because the venue is large, it gives bigger DJ's another place to play at in NYC. More big venues + a greater selection of venues = potentially more big dance music shows in NYC.
2) It's a concert venue, so the age limits are lower than what you would expect at a club. Therefore, underage fans can still get in to see the acts, and younger, more casual fans can get exposed to the music.
3) Unlike a club, once you buy your ticket, you're good to go. No guest lists or waiting in line.
It'll be interesting to see the turnout for these three concerts, and if they do well, what Made Event and other promoters have in store for the venue in the coming months.
