New York Times article on Arabian EDM festival

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.

Axwell added as Electric Zoo headliner

A couple weeks ago Paul Van Dyk was taken off the lineup for this year's Electric Zoo Festival.

So what does Made Event do? They announce today that Axwell (one-third of the Swedish House Mafia) has been added to the roster of performing artists. Not a bad choice for a replacement...

Also in that announcement is the details of one of the official afterparties, where Robbie Rivera, Sharam, and others will be playing Pacha on Saturday, September 4.

In my opinion, Axwell is the most unique-sounding member of the Swedish House Mafia when compared to Steve Angello, who played Electric Zoo last year, and Sebastian Ingrosso. He still carries that signature SHM sound, but at the same time produces some quality stuff outside the normal parameters, like his new single "Nothing But Love". The "Remode" version of the track is the one faring better on Beatport charts, but I like the "Classic Mix" more.

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.

deadmau5 hospitalized, upcoming shows canceled

Taken from his Facebook fan page:

[deadmau5 management]

Last night, whilst performing onstage at the 9:30 club in Washington DC, deadmau5 collapsed, suffering exhaustion and vomiting. Medics at the venue took him directly to hospital where he is now under supervision

deadmau5 is sad to advise his fans that on the strict advice of the doctors, he now has no choice but to cancel the next 9 shows of his Summer tour schedule to allow for his recovery. The dates affected are listed below.

Deadmau5 hopes to reschedule appearing in these cities in due course but in the meantime thanks all his fans for their understanding and support.

Dates that have to be CANCELLED:

August 1st Osheaga Music & Arts Festival, Montreal Canada
August 7th Summersonic Osaka Japan
August 8th Summersonic Tokyo Japan
August 12th Cream at Amnesia Ibiza
August 13th Cocorico Riccione Italy
August 14th Papaya Summer Festival Croatia
August 15th Sziget Festival Budapest Hungary
August 17th Cavo Paradiso Mykonos Greece
August 18th Opium Mar Barcelona Spain

Considering deadmau5's rigorous touring schedule where he's been bouncing from country to country playing shows 24/7/365, its finally caught up to him. This could happen to any DJ though with that kind of lifestyle.

Best of luck to his recovery.

Weekly shows update

The biggest news this week is that the 2010 Electric Zoo lineup has been finalized with schedules released for each day (minus set times):

And at Pacha last weekend during the Oakenfold and Laidback Luke shows, flyers were being handed out to advertise a bunch of new events, including Aly & Fila's first-ever visit to NYC.

Lastly, Royal Advisor Records and their artists have a couple shows lined up for the next two weeks.

Weekly shows update

- Mike Saint Jules and others will be playing three hour sets from 4-7 p.m. each Friday at Birch Coffee in Manhattan. Pretty cool timing for those who want to listen to some good stuff after work.

- Victor Calderone will be at Pacha on July 17.

Shah music day tomorrow

A good lineup of DJ's for those into uplifting trance.

When I first heard of this, I thought it was going to be some show centered around Roger Shah of Magic Island and Armada fame, but it's actually about the label Shah-Music.

The event will be broadcast tomorrow all day at Afterhours.fm.

Weekly shows update

One thing to mention this week: Made Event is posting up single-day ticket sale options for their Electric Zoo Festival on July 8.

This probably means they'll also announce the remaining names on the same date. On the Sunday lineup, there are two headliners yet to be revealed, so some big names could be coming down the pipe.

New Electric Zoo lineup additions announced

Made Event has added six new names to their Electric Zoo 2010 lineup:

Pretty Lights (headliner)
Avicii
Fake Blood
Joachim Garraud
Popof
Reboot

The days of their sets are in the image below (look for the glowing names):

Only one new thing to announce this week: Richard Durand, who is mixing the eighth installment of the In Search of Sunrise series, will be playing a boat party show with Brad Miller and Ryan Tyas on July 31.

EnigmaT over at TranceAddict does a great job of compiling show dates each week, and after looking at his latest list, there's a few I forgot to include on this site.
