M.I.K.E. to release NYC-themed compilation

M.I.K.E. will be releasing a new compilation album on June 7, entitled New York City Nights.

The track list for the album has not come out yet, but it will be interesting to see if any local producers are featured in the mix.

Five days after New York City Nights comes out, M.I.K.E. will be playing alongside DJ Eco and The Thrillseekers at Webster Hall.

Weekly shows update

Last week I didn't do one of these, since there really was nothing to mention. But it's back this week, with a couple tidbits of news.

Upcoming:

- Deadmau5 has updated his tour page with dozens of dates for shows this summer, two of which will be in New Jersey. On July 5 he'll play at Harrah's Pool at the casino in Atlantic City, and on July 27, he has a show at the Wellmont Theatre in Montclair.

This week:

- Friday: Jason Jollins at Pacha

- Saturday: Brad Miller begins his Push The Night series of shows at Stay with Frank Chiarello and Harji & Watson

More special events in store at Afterhours.fm

Afterhours.fm is hosting two special events this week, both of which highlight the talents of DJ's from two different labels.

Thursday - Enhanced Recordings Day

Starting at 2:00 with Estiva and ending with Daniel Kandi is a great block of artists that have had no shortage of excellent uplifting, melodic, and progressive releases on Enhanced, Anjunabeats, and other related labels.

Friday - Unearthed Recordings Day

I haven't heard of as many of the artists on this day, but definitely tune into Manuel Le Saux, one of my favorite uplifting DJ's, for a mix with ridiculously catchy tunes.

And for both of these days, if you miss a set, click on the links above for each day to download any show you missed. The sets are usually posted a couple days after an event.

Beatport sale (again)

From today until Thursday, April 29, Beatport is lowering the prices of their $1.49 tracks to $.99 each.

If you still have the 25% off coupon that I wrote about earlier this week, you can apply the discount to this sale. I was able to purchase three tracks for $2.25.

This is the first time in recent memory that Beatport has done two discounts in one week.

Beatport coupon offer valid through Saturday

If you shop on Beatport and check your email, chances are you might find a coupon that looks like this, allowing you to earn 25% off your next purchase:

I'm not sure if they are sending this coupon to every user, but I'm certain I received it since I haven't purchased a track from them in over a month.

Normal Beatport downloads cost $1.50 per track. With the coupon applied, you can get a single track for $1.12. If you purchase more tracks, the savings will increase.
