But either way, this is a fantastic uplifting tune with a huge breakdown and an emotional melody. Highly recommended.

ReOrder releases free track in memory of Love Parade victims
Following the news of last month's tragedy at the Love Parade festival in Germany, ReOrder has teamed up with Silent Shore Records to release a free track in memory of those who died: "A World of Trance". Right click the link on their website and choose "save as" to download.
Now I'm not sure if he cranked out this track in two weeks after the event happened, or if this was something he recently finished and decided to label it "in memorandum".
But either way, this is a fantastic uplifting tune with a huge breakdown and an emotional melody. Highly recommended.

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.

DJ Mag Top 100 spoof + some irony?
Two things that I thought were pretty funny today...
This guy wants you to vote in DJ Mag's Top 100 poll for a few of his favorite names. But in the meantime, he explains why some guys always make it into the top 10 each year:
Also today during my commute home from NYC, I was listening to Andy Blueman and I turned and looked out the window and snapped this picture. A coincidence considering the kind of music Andy produces? Or not?

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.

Taken from his Facebook fan page:
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.
