SANDER VAN DOORN & FIREBEATZ GET THE GUITAR OUT

POSTED BY MIKE DAVIES UNDER ELECTRO HOUSE

Often the most difficult part of writing a track is naming it, so Sander Van Doorn andFirebeatz have kept things literal with their long-awaited collab, simply entitled Guitar Track.

Leaked months ago on Spinnin'sSoundCloud page--either by accident or as a clever PR stunt--the track created a lot of hype. With its big, brash electro grooves and the mellow, electro-acoustic axe-riff the song takes

TIESTO REMIXES JACK EYE JONES’ ‘PLAYGROUND’

Rarely does a producer break into electronic music with a name as gargantuan as Tiesto(head injury or no head injury), yet Scotsman Jack Eye Jones realizes a major milestone in his bubbling DJ career as Tiesto's Remix of his anthemic Playground releases on his very own IBZ label through Beatport this morning.

While an unknown in the States, Jack, whodescribes his sound as "the harder end of progressive electro house," has built a respectable presence in Europe. His monthly podcast series Ibiza Sessions is a regular on the Top 10 iTunes UK Chart, he's shared the stages of Ibiza's hallowed venues with the likes of Mark Knight, Dyro, and Dannic, and he made his way to Creamfields' Cream Friends Arena last year.

The release of Tiesto's Playground remix comes at the perfect time for big room fans making the sacred pilgrimage to Miami this week. The track announces its arrival with a monstrous bassline pulled along by screaming synths and deep, resounding saws. The euphoric violence transitions into voluminous melody filled with the essence of electronic beauty, a beauty that unexpectedly drops into the perfect mix of earth-shattering four-on-the-floor thumping and an insanely addictive horn synth.

Playground marks the arrival of Jack Eye Jones onto the world-wide EDM stage--expect for this anthem to crowds into a frenzy at a festival near you. Keep on the lookout for the Scotsman and be sure to pick up your copy of Playground on Beatport today!

FEED ME TO RELEASE NEW EPS, LP, NEW SPOR AND SEVENTH STITCH TRACKS

POSTED BY NICK POLIZOS UNDER DRUM & BASS, DUBSTEP, ELECTRO HOUSE, NEWS

Jon Gooch, better known as Feed Me, recently confirmed via Facebook that he is finishing up two new EPs followed by a full-length album and new material from his two alter-egos Spor and Seventh Stitch. Although the two Feed Me EPs were originally planned for Christmas of 2013 and January 2014, it's good to know that we will finally be able to hear what this spritely music deviant has cooked up. Five months ago, Feed Me released his epic 15-track LP titled Calamari Tuesday, which was every

NEW WORLD PUNX

NEW WORLD PUNX

TRANCE SUPERGROUP NEW WORLD PUNX NEEDS NO INTRODUCTION. COMPRISED OF LEGENDS MARKUS SCHULZ & FERRY CORSTEN, THE DUO HAS BEEN ROCKING ARENAS WITH A "TAKE NO PRISONERS" PERFORMANCE STYLE. WE CHATTED WITH THEM BEFORE THEIR SET AT ULTRA ABOUT NWP'S ORIGINS, THEIR UPCOMING RELEASE TRAJECTORY, & BRINGING THE "FUN" BACK TO THE SCENE.

New World Punx - A State Of Trance 650 - Live At Ultra Music Festival

Novas tendencias oficial: How did this supergroup form?

Ferry: There was no thought behind it, really. We were in Ibiza a couple of years ago at a friend’s barbecue talking about music and how certain records still inspire us today. We got so fired up we decided to get in the studio one day with Loops N Tings, which we loved back in the day, and give it a fresh sound. Then after that we had a show where we were playing individually, and the promoter asked us if we could sort out who was playing when, and we just decided to play together. The response on social media was crazy after that. More promoters started asking us to do it, and here we are now.

Novas tendencias oficial : How about the name? Was it meant to be a combination of The New World and Punk?

Markus: We were in a meeting and were like, “OK, we’ve gotta think of a name for this duo.” We decided that we wanted something that exemplified the attitude of punk rock, but for the “new world.” And then we were like, “New World Punx!” It came so simply that we left it as a “working title” for a while because we felt like we came up with it too easily. It stuck, though! That’s the key of anything successful, really–it’s so simple that it sticks.

Novas tendencias oficial: Where did the artwork come from?

Markus: That was a fan, actually. The whole project is really organic and fueled by the fans. I remember we were talking about photo shoots at the beginning, but we were like, “well Ferry’s on one end of the world and I’m on the other. You know what, just draw something!”

Novas tendencias oficial: What are the main differences between preparing for a solo set for each of you and preparing for a New World Punx set?

Markus: It’s all about attitude. When we’re working on our set together we go for maximum mayhem. More pitch bends per minute than anybody else. When I play by myself, I try to play more theatrically and take the listener on more of a journey.

Ferry: It’s a lot more ballsy when we play as NWP. When I’m doing a solo set, I love to drop one of those beautiful trance tracks just to give my set a bit of breathing room. But when we’re together we’re like, “we aren’t stopping now!”

Novas tendencias oficial: What can we expect from your Ultra set today?

Markus: We have 33 tracks that we’re going to try and drop in 90 minutes. We like to improvise a lot when we’re up there–we’re having a party along with everyone else. There are a lot of tracks we’re playing that we don’t even have names for yet.

Ferry: It’s all about fun. This scene has become too serious in a lot of ways. Everyone feels like they have to play by a certain set of rules, and that it’s all about hits, hits, hits. We try to stay away from that and bring the real “fun” factor back.

Novas tendencias oficial: When you work on NWP tracks, do you work remotely or together in the studio?

Ferry: A little of both. Even when I make music that is just for me, I send it over to Markus before it’s even finished so he can test it out, and vice versa.

Markus: When we work on solo tracks we always say “we need a NWP version of this.”

Novas tendencias oficial: What’s your upcoming release trajectory? We’re dying to hear a new NWP track.

Markus: We’ve released a few bootlegs as free downloads online, but these are really just tracks that we’re having fun with and building on the fly for our sets. This week we decided that we need to get in the studio and release another proper single.

Ferry: Right now we have a few almost ready to go, but they’re just not quite done yet. We’re in a very creative mood right now, though, so expect something soon.

Novas tendencias oficial: When it comes to releasing your tracks, how do you decide which of your labels to use to put out the track?

Markus: Flip a coin! The first ones we did one on his label and one on mine, and then we released Romper for free. For the next ones, maybe we’ll do something like New World Punx Recordings. We haven’t really thought about it. We started NWP to get away from more of the “business” side, so it’s not really something we are thinking about a lot.

Novas tendencias oficial: Who are some up-and-comers in the trance scene that you guys are supporting?

Ferry: We both have our crew behind us that we are heavily supporting. Markus is putting his weight behind KhoMha, and I’ve got Jacob van Hage.

Novas tendencias oficial: If the world were ending in LessThan3 minutes, and you had an iPod with every song ever made on it, what would you listen to?

Ferry: The original Adagio For Strings by Samuel Barber.

Markus: I’ve answered this one before, and I still say Stairway To Heaven. Or ID by ID.

Deadmau5 Clashes With Tiesto, Invites Toronto Mayor On A Coffee Run

Deadmau5 - Live At Ultra Music Festival 2014

The term "trolling" is often used to describe someone just being annoying, stupid, or even just nasty, but true trolling is cleverly winding people up without doing anything wrong yourself--it's subtle, clever, and it's exactly what deadmau5 did as he covered for Avicii at Ultra this past weekend.

Playing a bit of Levels as a tribute to his fellow DJ was, at best, a shout-out to Tim while he lay in the hospital, and at worst, a bit of harmless fun. Then there was the "Old MacDonald" remix of Martin Garrix' Animals. It was all fun and games, but Tiesto didn't seem pleased.

Oh wait,was @deadmau5 being sarcastic when he played @Avicii ? That's pretty sad taking the piss of someone who's in the hospital...

— Tiësto (@tiesto) March 30, 2014

While it was apparent the Mau5 meant it as a joke, it's hard to tell what whether Tiesto's response was a jibe or an attempt to join in. Chances are he was trying his own hand at a bit of satire, so Joel took in in good faith and gave Tijs a bit back, with his own clever reference to recent events.

Meanwhile, back in his home city, deadmau5 has invited controversial Toronto Mayor Rob Ford to take part in his Coffee Run series. It would certainly be an eye-opener, and despite the date, it looks like it's a very real possibility.

Deadmau5 uses the Coffee Run series to chat openly with a massive variety of people on the scene, such as his latest episode which features Vanilla Ice, who highlights how the series shows the real side of people, rather than just the media portrayal. Stream the video below. Hopefully Mayor Ford will take part, and who knows, maybe he'll offer the Ultra Music Festival a new home in his own city...
