Electric Mountain is not just a music festival but rather an experience. Nestled within the picturesque valley’s of Merritt on the world famous Merritt Mountain fairgrounds, Electric Mountain “is” the new Merritt Mountain. It maybe the end of summer but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t bid the sun farewell in style. With two stages, BIG sound, and some of the best and brightest stars in the electronic music scene today, Elec…tric Mountain is the hottest destination of the summer. Live the experience Labour Day Long Weekend 2010

THE VENUE

A little piece of Canadian history, Merritt Mountain was home to one of the biggest Country Music Festivals in North America. This years event however definitely ain’t no Country Fest! The only thing Country about Electric Mountain is the festival grounds. The peace and quiet of the beautiful Merritt Mountain fairgrounds is being overhauled, taking it from 1990 to 2010. This is a whole new festival. The venue is the same; the river, the beer gardens, the camping, the stages are all still here for your enjoyment but with a new electronic sound. So bring your boots (yes country boots are welcome, no discrimination here) and beer and live the “new” Electric Mountain experience.

DATES

The Labour Day Long Weekend, September.4th and 5th 2010

FESTIVAL HOURS

Gates are scheduled to open at 9am Saturday, September 4th So be sure to arrive at the festival early so that you can be assured to get a campsite, as campsites are on a first come first serve basis.

Note* Wrist banded guest will be allowed onto the site after the gates close.

Entertainment at Electric Mountain starts at 1pm and goes till 8am each day. So bring your party hats people because this ain’t no regular run of the mill music festival.

Another summer mix from the Beijing superstar DJ Wordy. After he won the China DMC in 2006 he has been progressing his sound and pushing forward the scene in China. He drops a real mix of flavours in this one including Dubstep, Bass music, and experimental beats. It a real push forward for Wordy since his last mix and I think this will get some heavy rotation in iPods across the nation. Im working on getting a tracklisting for this one as I know requests will be coming in real soon!!  Feel free to blog this, share-it, Play-It! get the word out. Holla!

Can the iPad revolutionize music creation? Is it possible to rock the house for an hour using only two iPads and an iPhone using only apps downloaded from the App Store? One girl ventures to find out.

Destroy The Silence is NYC-based producer & DJ Rana June Sobhany’s experiment to produce and mix an entire album without using any synths or laptops. She just released Volume One of her experiment and since she made SoundCloud an integral part of her project, we were intrigued by all this iPad craze (we’re big fans too!) and needed to know more.

Rana! This is exciting, tell us about the project: what’s the idea and why the iPad?

I am experimenting with an idea I had 3 weeks ago where I am doing live music production and DJing using nothing more than two iPads and a simple DJ mixer. I am a believer in the power and opportunities that come from touch screen computing and mobile applications and this project is the culmination of all of my experiences in music and in working on the mobile side combined into one concept.

I come from the technology side in terms of my career but music has always been a very important part of my life. From making it, listening to it, appreciating it, studying it, I have always found solace in music. Some of the most incredible musicians I’ve ever met write code for a living. I think that there’s something to that. Before this, I build an analytics company for iPhone apps and I spent day and night knee-deep in data. I absolutely love looking for patterns and structure in data. Music is mathematics, so it wasn’t a big jump to try to find interesting patterns in music as well, and the iPad represents something much bigger than a tablet computer to me. The future is going to based on portable computing platforms that are completely integrated into our lives. This is just the beginning of that.

Why is the iPad an interesting platform for music making and what apps have you used for this mix?

The iPad bridges the gap between real instruments and computers. When you introduce a tactile component such as throwing a loop into the mix or triggering a sound sample, it feels more like playing music than using a computer. I think that this is where the benefits lie to musicians looking to incorporate touch screen computers into their set-ups. There’s sort of this perfect storm in terms of touch interfaces right now due to the movie Minority Report, the iPhone and now the iPad. The mouse will soon become obsolete and there will be some huge strides made with regard to haptic feedback on these multi-touch surfaces. Even now, when I use some of the drum machines apps, you can actually feel the bass when you touch the pad on screen, and I would love to see this extend to feedback from touching keys on a keyboard and the feeling of changing a setting on a knob. I bring this up because I think that the better and more intuitive the iPad and other tablet interfaces become, the more likely it is that regular consumers will see the value and opportunity in transitioning to these platforms.

The apps:
Looptastic HD
IK Multimedia Groovemaker Series – House, Hip Hop
Beatwave
Pianist Pro
iDaft
Korg iElectribe
Synth
Easy Beats LRG
JamPad

For the rest of this interview goto the Soundcloud Blog. And everyone, check out Destroy The Silence | Volume One below and watch Robert Scoble interview her in this 17-minute video over on Gizmodo.

This latest dance floor banger from Canadian boys Drake and A-Track is straight FFiiiyyyaaa!

A-trak + Drake “loonies to blow”

“It’s not just about his undeniable ability to create a party in any venue, large or small, in any place in the world, but also about how the music moves people.”

Tiësto has long been called the “Greatest DJ on Earth’’ and now you can experience everything that the great man has to offer. This Grammy nominated, DJ Mag ‘Best DJ’ award winner (3 times in a row 2002-2004), has collected all his best tracks, plus some new unreleased remix’s and re-edits, into one killer album.

This is a must have for any trance/electronic music fan! With this chronicling, you’ll get to experience first hand what has made Tiësto so popular. Watch out for ‘In The Dark’ 2010 remix and Laidback Luke’s ‘Flight 643’ rework. There is something strangely familiar and warm about ‘Suburban Train’; especially the new remix by Sean Tyas, the brilliance in this track cannot be overstated.

And you can listen to my latest Mini Mix here: Stanton DaScratch Pack by Wolfcallowww!

Sennheiser have long been the leading brand in headphone technology and style. Since 1945 they have been the pioneers of many Headphone and Mic technologies, from aviation headphones in the 80’s (NoiseGrad 1987) to the go-to brand for pro DJ’s and sound engineers around the world. Sennheiser have always and will always produce the best quality products: Creativity, Quality and Style.

So what’s next on the cards for Sennheiser? Talking with there German HR I was leaked some very interesting news, Sennheiser has teamed up with another German heavy weight for their next line of custom headphones. It got me thinking? Becks? BMW… Hugo Boss? What could it possibly be? You guessed it – Adidas.

What could Adidas bring to Sennheiser you may ask? The answer is… (If it is indeed possible) more STYLE – more accurately; street style. We all know Adidas, and what they do; they are basically the definition of street style and class. So as you could imagine I was incredibly excited about what they could achieve. Nothing prepared me for what they would do.

We all know Sennheiser HD-25 -1 II… if you are anywhere near a half decent DJ they are using these black, lightweight but high quality DJ headphones. What could Adidas bring to this already near-perfect design? The answer is – Colour and basically; all round awesome-ness.

I received the package thanks to Sennheiser Germany; at first look I am thinking… they sent me some sneakers? The packaging is a shoebox, coloured with a wicked bright blue, with the Adidas stripes down the side. I open the box to reveal a pair of the sweetest HD-25-1 II I have ever seen. They’re coloured with the same wicked blue, from the earpieces to the padding to the cord; and of course there is the addition of the iconic Adidas 3-stripes. It’s a very simple but very effective design.

And of course, from my last Sennheiser Headphone review – “This is a phenomenal piece of DJ equipment, no wonder it’s the most widely accepted DJ tool.” The sound quality is second to none for the price, and the added style to the headphones will definitely set you apart from any other DJ’s. Pick these up and you will be the talk of the town. From the low basses to high hats, the quality and functionality is amazing, very, very crisp.

Specs-

Headphones package includes:

1 pair of HD 25-1-II headphones
1 bag
1 pair of soft ear pads
1 adaptor to ¼ ? (6.3 mm) stereo jack plug

Technical Features:
Cable length: 1.5 m
Plug: 3.5 / 6.3mm angled stereo jack
Rotatable ear cup for one-ear listening
Frequency response: 16-22,000 Hz
Impendence: 70 ?
Max. sound pressure level: 120 (1kHz, 1 Vms)

The “Adidas Originals HD 25-1-II headphones by Sennheiser” are available at Adidas Originals Stores worldwide as well as the Adidas e-commerce site www.shop.adidas.com.

The world’s number one DJ/producer Tiësto has set another musical milestone with a new collaboration merging his own unique sound with the prog rock of South Africa’s hottest emerging band BLK JKS – recently awarded ‘Best Alternative Music Album’ at the SAMA’s (South African Music Awards, the equivalent of the US Grammys). As part of a global Smirnoff Experience event in South Africa called ‘Mashup Street’, Tiësto has created a new and exclusive track for download. “Dreaming” available for DJvibe.com readers below! The track will be premiered live to a worldwide audience via an online live stream from the ‘Mashup Street’ event on the 15th May in Johannesburg, allowing people from all over the world to participate.

Watch the live stream right here on DJVIBE.COM and via our iTunes podcast on the day!

“Dreaming” has the Dutch dance music superstar’s signature all over it, with a brooding synthy intro and a building bassline pulsating then breaking to reveal BLK JKS’ intense vocal. The electro-trance breakdown follows a cinematic mix of rising strings and a chorus of call and response using a bass hook of epic proportion, infused with blips of township funk and kwaito bop.
Tiesto is no stranger to collaborations having recently worked with the likes of Nelly Furtado and Jónsi from Sigur Rós, but even the man himself admitted this one was something special:

Tiesto – “Over the past year, I’ve done several collaborations with artists from a variety of genres, but have never worked with an artist from South Africa. I was excited by the opportunity to work with an act like BLK JKS, who are influenced by their South African roots, but also have some dance music sensibility. I’m looking forward to playing “Dreaming” live for the first time on May 15 at Smirnoff Experience™South Africa and on tour this summer. ”

BLK JKS – “Some people don’t realise it, but we are big fans of dance music. We’re honoured to be selected by Tiësto and Smirnoff to take part in this collaboration. We’ve created a straight up dance track, which is not what we would normally produce on our own. I think “Dreaming” will surprise our own fans, and hopefully open us up to new ones.”

Smirnoff Experience South Africa ‘Mashup Street’ is an event that celebrates the fusion of vibrant South African music and street cultures. Tiësto will preside over this one-of-a-kind experience as the headline talent. Mixing modern and classic genres of music, fashion art and mixology, ‘Mashup Street’ provides the ultimate canvas for Tiësto and BLK JKS to bring their creative vision to the world.

The Tiësto concert, his collaboration with BLK JKS and Smirnoff Experience™ ‘Mashup Street’ is the latest installment from Smirnoff’s BE THERE program—a call on others to create, seek out and participate in more one-of-a-kind experiences.

With stops in Moscow, Shanghai, Paris and New York, the Smirnoff Experience series continues its journey around the world, having landed last weekend in Berlin on 23rd April with headliner Simian Mobile Disco before heading to South Africa. The events celebrate originality in nightlife by bringing to life original concepts, forming one-off collaborations and championing original party experiences.

MSTRKRFT – Jesse F. Keeler and Al-P

“We tried to make ‘festival weapons,’ so when we play them, it’s like throwing a million hatchets into the audience” – Jesse F. Keeler, one half of DJ/production duo MSTRKRFT, March 17th 2009.

I catch up for a quick chat with JFK from Canadian dance music duo MSTRKRFT just before they kick off the inaugural (to Australia) Creamfields festivals later this month. We talk Synths, Vegemite and Rum… Australians and Canadians just know how to get along! Also thanks to the readers who sent in their questions. It’s short but ever so sweet.

JFK: Blende – fluttery will get you nowhere

MC: Favorite song of all time?

JFK: Nas – the world is yours

MC: You are coming down for Creamfields, but you were also here for other festivals late last year, you must like Australia?

JFK: Opposite seasons? Vegemite? Bunderburg ginger beer and rum? Yes.

Official video for Rusko’s Woo Boost! Single plus remixes at itunes now – http://bit.ly/cR6J7H Look for Rusko’s debut album, O.M.G.! out on Mad Decent, May 2010.

video directed by Pomp & Clout.

The human bass tornado, and current reigning champ of the dubstep scene is Rusko, aka Christophert Mercer. Born in Leeds in 1985 to a musical family. From day dot Rusko was surrounded by music whether it be his families piano’s, guitars, banjo’s and saxophones…or in his later years the heavy reggae and dub sound systems of Leeds, music has always been an integral part of Rusko’s life.

After graduating from Leeds university with a degree in musical performance, Rusko discovered the world of dubstep through SUB DUB and a debut appearance from the “Digital Mystikz”, having spent the past 10 years making future dub alongside Leeds very own Iration Steppas, Rusko connected with the sound and moved down to London to further advance his musical opportunities.

Checkout the video and photos of RUSKO’s recent gig in Nelson BC where he drops some exclusive new DUBSTEP remixes like ‘Da Cali Anthem’ and a brand new M.I.A. tune..

Veering away from the dark, serious side of the sound Rusko bought a highly driven energy and fun approach to the dubstep massive, quickly coining his own take on the genre that infected . His sound appealed to many people outside of the dubstep world as his productions became more adventurous in formula, sound and energy. His huge hit “Cockney Thug” has been played by everyone from Pete Tong, Switch, Diplo and Santogold. And has been remixed by Buraka Som sistema, Diplo, Drop the Lime and the Scratch Perverts.

Now part of the Mad Decent Camp with collaborations on the horizon with the likes of Switch, Diplo , Santigold, Trouble Andrew, Hot Chip and more…the future sure is looking bright. Currently setting the radio airwaves alight with his own productions and remixes of artists such as The Prodigy, Basement Jaxx, Little Boots and plenty more, Rusko is only going in one direction. Onwards, upwards and far beyond any other young producer could dream of.

I found this mix below on his Myspace page and I thought you guys would like it. Leave a comment if you want to see RUSKO @ Shambhala 2010, let’s make it happen!!

The Totem Onelove Group welcomes the iconic international music festival: Creamfields to Australia for the first time. Creamfields has already toured every continent and brings an all star cast to Australia in May this year.

Creamfields has established itself as the worlds greatest electronic music festival. Now in its 12th year it continues to dominate the festival market, spanning 17 countries and attracting a worldwide audience of nearly 3 million people. Beginning life in Winchester (UK) in 1998, Creamfields continues to hold the crown as one of the worlds favorite dance festival brands.

Creamfields Australia will feature both up-and-coming and iconic dance acts over some of Australia’s most popular venues. Get ready as the biggest music circus in the world finally arrives to our fields! It’s the merging of two powerhouses once more; Australia’s best known youth entertainment brand onelove and Australian festival stalwarts Hardware Corporation / Totem Industries. Both companies draw on years of experience to provide Australian audiences and international guests a fresh approach to Australian festivals. Both companies already enjoy a great international reputation as being the market leaders in this arena and this union has ensured a high quality output that is world class.

Totem Onelove Group are partners in one of Australia’s most popular festivals, Stereosonic… and individually have extensive experience and market following in: club events, touring, youth marketing and events & festivals including: Solar Music Festival, Two Tribes, Tiësto, Welcome NYE and Betterdays to name a few.

The first ever Creamfields Australia line-up is sure to excite all musical tastes, we’re bringing you the ‘Cream of the Crop’ (no pun intended). After causing mayhem at the recent Stereosonic Festival in December, The Bloody Beetroots Death Crew 77 band debut their live show. A fusion of punk, rock, electronica, their shows need to be seen to be believed. Next up is one third of the popular ‘Swedish House Mafia’ group Steve Angello who is one of the most successful house DJs in the world. After rocking the world with the introduction of his hot remix of Eurythmics’ ‘Sweet Dreams’ he’s created several aliases / remixes & collaborations since, that have topped the club charts around the globe. The duo behind MSTRKRFT (aka JFK & AL P) return to Australia with a rockin’ set of EFX, multiple decks and production. With a string of hit releases & remixes under their belt, including: Justice, Bloc Party, Annie & Wolfmother, their current stormer ‘Heartbreaker’ feat John Legend on vocals has been a Summer anthem across Australian clubs. Ferry Corsten certainly needs no introduction, he’s one of the world’s biggest trance DJs regularly winning prestigious awards, creating club filling anthems and playing euphoric live shows. His recent release is a re-take of his hit 1999 anthem: ‘Out of the Blue 2010’ – System F.

LMFAO will bring down the house with their 6 piece band, seeing as their current club smash ‘I’m in Miami Bitch’ (and remixes) is THE hottest tune around right now. Grammy nominees, this electro-hop act have remixed for: Kanye West, Lady Gaga and Black Eyed Peas, to name a few. Dave Clarke can only be referred to as a legend in the world of dance music. One of the biggest techno/electro DJs in the world, his technical ability to mix up anything from techno, electro, ghetto-tek, hip hop to new wave remains in constant demand. Dutchman Marco V is known to many as the master of progressive. Although he started out as a trance DJ, he now combines electro-house, progressive house and progressive trance. Marco V recently won the prestigious ‘Best Tech House DJ’ at the DJ Awards in Ibiza Sept 09. To the delight of many fans, Green Velvet return to Aus with their full LIVE show. With the success of ‘Flash’ & the hit track ‘La La Land’ and ‘Shake and Pop’ Curtis Jones and crew will thrill all with his funky sounds, abstract vocals and pounding beats. Stay tuned also for their long awaited forthcoming album, where they will be showcasing new tunes and the new collaboration with Kid Sister. Melbourne / global sensation Dirty South comes home to rock the crowds with his thumping electro house set. These will be exclusive shows, he won’t be playing anywhere else for a while, so don’t miss out! ‘It’s Too Late,’ ‘Let it Go,’ & ‘The End’ have proven to be big releases as well as ‘Open Your Heart’ (with Axwell), ’How Soon is Now’ (with David Guetta & Sebastian Ingrosso). He’s remixed the likes of: U2, Snoop Dogg, Tracey Thorne, Depeche Mode and Josh Wink.

Kid Sister will be performing her dynamic sound show. Signed in 2007 to ‘Fool’s Gold’ (Armand Van Helden & A-Trak’s label), Kid Sister released her first hit single ‘Pro-Nails’ with special guest Kanye West and has collaborated with the best in the biz for her new album ‘Ultraviolet’: Estelle, Kanye West, Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso. House and techno maestro Joris Voorn has impressed fans the world over with his live p.a’s and DJ sets – deep and atmospheric tech-house-electro with an old school vibe. He’s been the leader in his club tech genre for over 12 months now and he brought the house down in a huge way on his last trip to Aus. His production credits are nothing short of impressive with Joris mixing the latest Balance #14 CD. Lifelike will bring his live show for the first time ever to Australia, with driving basslines and French house vibe. Lifelike has had the support of Thomas Bangalter, DJ Falcon and Alan Braxe since the 90s. Lifelike has remixed artists such as: La Roux, Shapeshifters, Sia, Annie, The Presets, Sneaky Sound System and more.

A ‘Rising Star for 2010’ according to Beatport, Riva Starr has made his mark on the scene in a big way. In only just over 2 1/2 years his remix and release package is extensive and his tour schedule is booked months ahead. Already connected to some of the world’s biggest labels, this newcomer has buzz written all over him. Tommie Sunshine is a regular to our shores and always impresses with his vast catalogue of records and mixes. He’s consistently seen to be ahead of the curve and is known to many as the taste maker, music historian without a doubt. His rockin’ remixes (over 120 no less) of artists such as: Panic at the Disco, Kelis and tracks with Felix Da Housecat, Miss Kittin, Peaches, Tomcraft and DJ Hell are all crowd favourites. Bingo Players have started 2010 off with a bang topping the Australian Club Chart for 8 weeks & Beatport Chart with their new re-take of the classic ‘Devotion.’ Creating craziness on the decks with their hands in the air tunes, the Dutch duo can do no wrong. Their bootleg of Suzanne Vega’s: ‘Tom’s Diner’ is another that drops to huge crowd roars.

Filo & Peri have come onto the scene in a big way. These New Yorkers have raised the bar with their new album and the sound of ‘Ashley’ still ringing in clubbers ears around the globe. Signed to the acclaimed VANDIT label, they have enlisted the help of Eric Lumiere and Giuseppe Ottaviani to help out in their latest offering ‘Soul and the Sun.’ John Andersson aka Zoo Brazil has been producing and writing music since he was 11, amazing! He’s released over 100 singles under the monikers of: Laid, Cuba Computers, Nars, The Kelly Project and more. He’s one of dance music’s most innovative and respected producers. John wrote Kylie’s track ‘The One’ and has worked with: Moby, Tiësto, Fatboy Slim, Dannii Minogue, Tiga, Human League, Ian Pooley, Dirty Vegas, Swedish House Mafia, John Dahlbäck and more. His new album is about to drop soon! And last but not least, Oh Snap! consists of old school hip-hop dynamo Mickey Fortune and singer/songwriter, rock star impresario, John Neilson. Oh Snap!! is one of the flyest, hip-hop, electro, pop, folk, polka duos around. Recently, the guys played shows with Jay Sean, Sean Paul, Lil Jon, LMFAO, and Far East Movement.

checkout the official music video for the hit track David Guetta feat. Kid Cudi – Memories. If you look closely you’ll see that the film crew for the music video is actually naked women.. Guetta met Cudi while shooting the music video for the Black Eyed Peas music video and the next day this track was born..

As expected, the concert for Canadian electrohouse DJ ‘Deadmau5 at LiveCity Yaletown reached capacity early and the gates were closed with thousands of fans left outside.

But that didn’t stop the reported 20,000 others who were locked out from having a good time, as thousands stuck around and turned the area outside the LiveCity venue into an impromptu dance party.

DJ Deadmau5 (real name: Joel Zimmerman) said on his Twitter feed that he would try to accommodate the outsiders by turning up the music: “@Deadmau5: Ill try to crank the s**t out of the PA so all the lovelies outside can enjoy too!”

According to LiveCity’s Facebook site, people were posting messages on the Internet from the lineup as early as 11:00 a.m. for Deadmau5’s 9:30 p.m. show at the Yaletown venue. One group of teenagers camped out overnight to ensue their spot in line.

On Deadmau5’s Facebook site, 17,000 people RSVP’d to the free show, which had a capacity of just 8,000. Thousands more turned up late in hope they might be squeezed in.

Checkout the Vancouver Suns website for the full story and photos.

And also He has one Last  show coming up this weekend @ Gossip.

Deadmau5 has been reported   posting status updates on his Facebook page with links to Dubstep tracks called dub5tepthingie he has been working on. He said ” ha. making dubstep…. it’s actually kinda fun.”

He is producing under the alias fuckmylife to obviously not confuse his already HUGE fanbase.  You gotta respect this guy for being diverse. But this is not a new thing for him, if you listen to some of his earlier work like “My Fucking Adventure” which is a cross between Super Mario Brothers and drum n’ bass.

Anyway if you want to checkout the other tracks I have linked to them below. And if you havent already become a fan on his Facebook page do it now!!! And to Deadmau5, keep making more Dubstep, it sounds sick!! Thanks to Mark for sending in the tip!

INTERNATIONAL MUSIC SUMMIT 2010:  FIRST LINE UP REVEALED
Ibiza Gran Hotel, May 26-28

• Mark Ronson To Star In Keynote Interview
• David Guetta, Luciano, Annie Mac, Erick Morillo, DJ Skream, Pedro Winter / Busy P, Arthur Baker, Robin Millar To Speak
• Alexandra Patsavas appears at her first dance music event
• Speakers from Sprite, Coca-Cola Group, Ministry of Sound, BBC Radio 1, KCRW, MP7, Beatport, Resident Advisor All Confirmed

Monday 8th February: Leading electronic artists and representatives of some of the world’s biggest brands are among those confirmed to speak at the third International Music Summit with superstar producer, DJ and artist Mark Ronson confirmed to appear in the headline keynote interview.

Commandeering the entire five-star Ibiza Gran Hotel, IMS creates an intimate atmosphere where artists such as the 2010 Grammy Award winner David Guetta can meet with notable business leaders such as Frank Mertens, Global Director of Creative Development Sprite / Coca-Cola Group and Konrad Von Loeheysen, the owner of Ministry of Sound Germany / Motor FM.

In her first dance music event appearance, the world-renowned music supervisor Alexandra Patsavas will feature in a one-on-one interview about her work and company Chop Shop. Patsavas is supervisor on TV shows The OC, Grey’s Anatomy, Private Practice, Mad Men and Gossip Girl plus the Twilight film.

Guetta appears on a panel titled Big Dog DJs: F*** You We’re Famous, named after his legendary weekly party in Ibiza, alongside Erick Morillo from Subliminal Records, Luciano – the underground star and boss of label Cadenza Records. IMS founder and BBC Radio 1 DJ Pete Tong will moderate.

In Meet The Future, BBC Radio 1 DJ Annie Mac, who recently swapped shows with Tong to open the countdown to the weekend, will outline her vision for electronic music alongside the likes of Pedro Winter aka Busy P, former manager of Daft Punk and boss of Ed Banger Records. Joining them is DJ Skream, remixer of the moment.

In another panel USA Today: Boom Boom Now!, IMS will hear from both those behind dance music’s recent explosion in the states, including Patrick Moxey from Ultra Records, Eddie Dean from Pacha New York and original American dance architect Arthur Baker, and also from dissenting voices like Tommie Sunshine who recently stated: “There is NO room for dance music in America. It will never happen. Not real dance music, anyway”. The panel will be moderated by KCRW music director and presenter Jason Bentley, who last year received the first IMS Pioneer Award.

In Ibiza United, IMS will bring together the key players behind Amnesia, Eden, Es Paradis, Pacha, Privilege and Space on one panel for just the second time ever. This panel will be moderated by Juan Suarez, one of the chiefs of the powerful local newspaper, Diario De Ibiza.

IMS will hear from legendary producer Robin Millar, responsible for 44 number one hits, who will talk about why just one month after he retired from production duties, electronic music has re-inspired him, and see the return of 19-year old teen promoter Callum Negus Fancey from Let’s Go Crazy after stealing the show last year by stating “Who is Paul Oakenfold? My audience have never heard of him.”

In addition, IMS has teamed up with leading consumer portal Resident Advisor, whose audience will select a topic and speakers for the Presidential Debate format which debuted in 2009 to great acclaim.

Said Pete Tong: “It is with great pride that we announce some of the incredible
talent already confirmed to be involved in our third International Music Summit in Ibiza. For 2010 we continue to push for the most vital and engaging debates on all the key topics of the day involving the biggest players from every field.”

Commented Ben Turner, a founder and partner in the IMS, states: “IMS was never about the artists, more the people behind the curtain who help guide the gifted. In 2010, we’ve been overwhelmed by approaches from artists to be involved in some way. It’s a great testament to our first two years. Watch out for more special names to follow…”

Following 2009’s successful experiment The IMS Vote, a session where the audience make decisions on the future of the genre, will return. Indeed, last year, 69% of those present agreed that IMS had ‘made them question how their companies work’. In 2010, this is taken one step further then Ted Cohen from TAG Strategic will moderate a one-hour session where the panelists are the audience, and the agenda is not set. Cohen himself was so inspired by IMS:09 that he invited last year’s Key Note speaker Richie Hawtin to attend MidemNet after hearing his radical assessment of future music.

Finally reprising his 2009 role, electronic pioneer Tom Middleton will blog to the Beatport community what is being debated, who will in turn feedback and pose questions to the speakers.

Once again the IMS Grand Finale will take place at the UNESCO World Heritage Site in Dalt Vila on Friday May 28. Last year, Basement Jaxx headlined with Pete Tong, Rob da Bank and Filthy Dukes in support. IMS has been with requests from artists to perform at this landmark event. The headline acts will be announced imminently. The event is free to attend for all delegates of the IMS, with some 2,000 tickets available to the public. Tickets are available now from www.internationalmusicsummit.com

Now in its third year the International Music Summit returns to Ibiza in 2010 bigger than ever. The event, bringing together leading executives and artists in the electronic music industry, has firmly established itself as an essential event in the calendar. As Juan Vandervoort from !K7 Records, Germany put it last year, “An industry known for producing innovative music finally has an innovative conference.”

Hosted by BBC Radio 1’s Pete Tong, IMS 2010 will once again deliver an unrivalled agenda of business sessions with, unlike other electronic music summits, no two panel’s crossing over. In 2009, lively debates saw those attending challenged to embrace new technology and marketing strategies and engage with young people on their terms. A significant 69% of those present agreed that IMS had made them question how their companies work.

The first speakers, panelists and agenda debates will be announced at the end of January, with a list of global recording artists, DJs and prominent business figures already confirmed.

In previous years IMS has witnessed keynotes from pivotal industry figures such as global electronic pioneer Richie Hawtin, and former head of Island Records and manager to Paul Oakenfold, Marc Marot and seen panels packed with the likes of Bestival promoter, Rob da Bank, Wall of Sound boss Mark Jones, plus senior figures from Nokia, Bacardi, Blackberry, Pioneer and Sol. It was at IMS 2009 that Hawtin told the delegates they were lying when stating that they felt they were in touch with their audience. And 19-year-old Callum Negus Fancey from the under-age Let’s Go Crazy brand spectacularly declared his audience had ‘never heard of Paul Oakenfold’.

Full event and hotel packages are limited, and expected to sell out well in advance. The total cost of a delegates badge is €370 which includes a gourmet buffet lunch throughout the conference with special packages at the hotel on sale from today.

Once again the daytime sessions will be followed by special evening showcases at venues within walking distance of the hotel. Delegates will have free entry to all events including the IMS Grand Finale in the Dalt Vila World Heritage Site supported by the Ibiza government, which last year saw Basement Jaxx and Filthy Dukes perform live, with DJs Pete Tong and Rob da Bank. IMS 2010 will have more events per evening all within walking distance of the Gran Hotel.

“The IMS is delighted to announce our return to Ibiza in May 2010, and also our return to the perfect surroundings of the Ibiza Gran Hotel, probably the best setting imaginable for an international electronic music conference.

“IMS is committed to helping develop the global scene that I’m so heavily involved in, and I hope industry people and clubbers alike choose to spend their time on the island around this very special gathering of global players and thinkers.” Pete Tong, IMS co-founder:

IMS: 2010 Reserve your place now, and HELP SHAPE THE FUTURE OF ELECTRONC MUSIC.

Intuitive X-Y touchpad
Using touchpad is highly intuitive – simply rub, stroke, or tap it to instantly create complex phrases with a single finger. Responding instantly to these gestures, the KAOSSILATOR PRO creates spontaneous changes that were difficult to produce on synthesizers of the past. Horizontal motions control the pitch, while the vertical axis can control tone parameters such as cutoff, feedback, or modulation depth. This makes it easy for anyone to create entirely original sounds and musical phrases.

200 exciting programs
Korg’s synthesizer technology – acclaimed by top musicians around the world – has been carefully distilled into the KAOSSILATOR PRO. The versatile array of pro-level sounds includes synths, drums, FX and other instruments. These sounds complement all styles of electronic and dance music including techno, house, breaks, hip hop, R&B, reggae, and electro. There are also numerous acoustic instruments such as piano, trumpet, and guitar, providing a further boost to your expressive resources. You can assign your favorite programs to the eight Program Memory buttons for instant recall, ensuring that your live performances will be smooth.

Extensively enhanced drum sounds
Rhythm can be the most important element when creating a phrase. In addition to the modeling synthesis borrowed from the original KAOSSILATOR, the KAOSSILATOR PRO provides a new PCM sound generator as well, offering even more realistic drum sounds arranged in kits across the X-Y pad. There are twenty different one-shot sounds for kick, snare, and hi-hat etc., as well as twenty-five rhythm loop patterns to spark your creativity.

Vocoder programs for creative audio effects
The KAOSSILATOR PRO features a mic input jack and fifteen types of vocoder programs, making it easy to achieve unique sound effects, create robot voices and more.

Thirty-one scales for musical expressiveness
The thirty-one types cover a range from chromatic scales to major, minor, blues and beyond. By specifying a scale and key, you can use a single finger to play perfect melodies and phrases that would be difficult to play even on a keyboard. There are also special scales such as Spanish, Ryukyu, and Raga, letting you play phrases that have a distinctive flavor. Another boost in expressive power is provided by the new Note Range function, which lets you specify the range of pitches available on the touchpad from a single octave up to eight octaves.

Gate Arpeggiator provides tightly sync’ed grooves
Inspired by the EMX-1 and ESX-1 Electribes, the new Gate Arpeggiator allows you to play a pattern of sounds that are always in sync with the tempo, generating phrases that defy imagination. The KAOSSILATOR PRO’s slider can control the gate time or gate speed, allowing even more complex phrases to be produced. Tempos can be set manually, or on the fly using the Tap Tempo function.

Loop Recording with unlimited overdubbing
Loop Recording can be set for up to four measures /16 beats. Your KAOSSILATOR PRO musical performances can be recorded into one of the Loop Recorder Banks. By adding (overdubbing) additional sounds one at a time, you can create amazing loop phrases by repeating the cycle of selecting a sound, playing a phrase, and recording the sound over and over again.

Four Loop Recording Banks allow DJ-style performances
The KAOSSILATOR PRO provides four Loop Recording Banks. These banks can be combined for virtually infinite performance possibilities. Each of the four loop banks can host infinite overdubs. In addition, each bank can be muted or un-muted, its volume adjusted, and its loop length changed, making dynamic live performances easy for anyone. An unneeded loop can be erased during playback, and a new one recorded, so there’s no need to stop the performance.

Loop Recording using an external source
The KAOSSILATOR PRO provides line inputs and a mic input, allowing loop recording using an external audio source. This makes it easy to add a rap, vocal, or audio from an external device to any loop phrase created on the KAOSSILATOR PRO.

USB + MIDI provides versatility and compatibility
The KAOSSILATOR PRO offers standard MIDI IN/OUT connectors. In addition, the USB connector lets you use your computer to back up the loop recording data, or even drop loops into your favorite DAW. The KAOSSILATOR PRO can also control your software applications or an external MIDI device. The KAOSSILATOR PRO can send or receive MIDI clock.

Convenient SD Card* data storage
The KAOSSILATOR PRO provides an SD card slot for storing loop data and user settings such as program memories. Favorite phrases can be saved to build up a collection of loop data that will inspire your musical arrangements. SD Card storage also allows you to create the same show with the same loops, night after night. You can also swap loops with other KAOSSILATOR PRO users, or use your data in multiple units.
* not compatible with SDHC cards and SDXC cards.

Dedicated Editor / Librarian Software
KAOSSILATOR PRO Editor is a dedicated software program for managing your recorded loop data, as well as MIDI assignment editor functionality that lets you transform the KAOSSILATOR PRO into a powerful MIDI controller that’s set up just the way you want. KAOSSILATOR PRO Editor can be downloaded free of charge from the Korg website.
* Runs on Microsoft Windows XP (SP3 or later) / Vista (SP2 or later) / 7, and on Mac OS X 10.4 or later.

‘Start as you mean to go on’ is a mantra that instructs one to begin a new enterprise by acting and sounding as if it were already a success. And visitors to Playa Del Carmen for the first week of 2010 have been sleeping easily knowing that they have set the bar for clubbing for the next decade extremely high.

Now in its third year the BPM Festival has steadily been establishing itself as a ‘must-do’ on the clubbing calendar and with a strap line and mission statement of ‘escape the winter doldrums and head for the Mayan sun for beats and beach fun’ it is little wonder the festival has been attracting not only clubbers from across Canada, the United States and Europe, but also artists at the forefront of electronic music.

More than 20,000 party goers descended on the resort town of Playa Del Carmen over the course of the 10 day event this year. And with a seemingly impossible schedule of 30 parties meaning an almost 24 hour party policy which comprises 70 DJs spinning the best of house and techno in an abundance of backdrops, including the miles of white sandy Caribbean facing beaches, it is hardly surprising the festival is gathering an increasingly substantial army of followers year on year.

The music policy is strictly house and techno and allows for a full spectrum of artists and promoters to visit and work within the format outlined buy the BPM organisers. This year most of the day parties were held at the Kool beach resort beginning at around brunch time and running through to 8 or 9pm. The dance area is set around a pool which flows out onto the beach. The sound, supplied by Acoustic Project, was more than up to scratch for an external system and could be heard for some distance outside the resort. Daily parties at the beach included clubbing mecca Space Miami fronted by Luis Puig and Frenchman Cedric Gervais; a party with Cielo resident Nicolas Matar and Californian based Marques Wyatt and a whole host of upcoming stars from the Canadian and New York underground scene including Nitin Kaylan, Monsieur Cedric, dance temptress Lauren Lane and the nefarious Michelangelo among others. And with the likes of dance music monolith Hed Kandi in attendance one can begin to see why BPM is holding its weight on the global festival scene.

Elsewhere parties were held in the lavish surroundings of the Blucacao Beach Club which meant a short complimentary bus trip outside of the normal party zone, and saw the likes of Jojo Flores playing out he soulful take on house music. The Freak N Chic Label party brought Parisian favourites Shonky, Anthony Collins and Steve Letigre’s deep house across the Atlantic whilst Brazil’s Ana Paula brought a little carnival style flair and samba flavoured house music.

From the day one could segue into the evening to continue the party at a number of parties in some really impressive and at times intimate venues. The Blue Parrot beach club (complete with sand inside) was decked up to the nines to complement its beach front location with giant fluorescent jellyfish and electronic visuals to the same effect. This was the setting for nights headlined by the legendary Dubfire who brought his jet-black polished-chrome techno; purveyor of dark twisted house Steve Lawler; and global phenomenon Steve Angello.

Brahma club with its spacecraft lighting feature played host to Air London’s Nick Curly and Simon Baker. Curly’s fast growing profile was further enhanced as his Mannheim sound went down a storm following Baker’s tech house explosion. Sander Kleinenberg also delivered a memorable set here on the opening night which set the tone for the week.

La Santanera’s boudoir-esque décor played host to parties headed up by NYC tribal and techno titan Victor Calderone, Israeli techno export Guy Gerber, second-wave Detroit don Stacey Pullen,  and even late addition to the programming British born Lee Burridge!

A wide plethora of artists comprised the line up this year in an attempt to deliver something for all dance music aficionados. And staying true to their roots the programmers deliver a fantastic mix of high profile DJs whilst supporting the up and coming artists from America and Canada.

For those who prefer to operate outside of the ‘hardcore party goer’ realm the BPM Festival and Playa Del Carmen offer a host of ‘extra-cirricular’ activities for those who wish to supplement their trip. Many visitors take advantage of the phenomenal diving opportunities on offer along the Mayan Riveria, and a short drive south of Playa are the breathtaking Mayan ruins near Tulum which serve as a perfect respite from the festival for many attendees.

Being perfectly situated 45 minutes from tourist hotspot Cancun, Playa Del Carmen is a perfect blend of traditional welcoming Mexican community mixed with the right amount Americanisation to make visitors feel at home away from home. Recognisable commercial outposts such as Starbucks and Burger King sit easily next to family run Mexican eateries that serve up the tastiest of Mexican cooking including perhaps the best burritos to guacamole.

The BPM Festival enjoys an easy relationship with the locals as the opening welcome note from the local Mayor in the festival programme attests. And with VIP passes not only including entrance to 30+ events during the BPM Festival (with VIP entrance and VIP Stage Access) but also VIP discounts at local stores & restaurants in Playa del Carmen you begin to realise that this does not have to be bank busting trip.

As Steve Lawler said following his third BPM set ‘it was insane, has an amazing vibe, with beautiful people. The BPM Festival is now an annual event for VIVa MUSiC and myself, see you next year” – if you have not already, we suggest you join him.
