Ok who’s coming with me to Belgium next year? This looks ZOMG HECTIC!

And so the wait is finally over… Here’s the first round line-up announcement for Summadayze/Summafieldayze 2011:

David Guetta
N.E.R.D.
Justice
Armand Van Helden
Chromeo
Bob Sinclar
Boys Noize
Erol Alkan
Tinie Tempah
Miami Horror
Riva Starr
Dennis Ferrer
Claude Von Stroke
Aeroplane
Nervo
Plump DJ’s
So Me v. DVNO
Yuksek
Zombie Disco Squad

+ a ton of the best local acts of each capital city…

I must admit I am a little jealous that the Gold Coast gets the addition of Trentmoller, A-Trak and The Rapture. The last two are playing at Falls Festival from memory.  Maybe one of the other writers will post something about that festival… Of course you’re probably all aware that Armin Van Buuran is doing an epic 9 hour set here in Melbourne on NYE so that explains his absence at Melbourne’s Summadayze also.

Ticket’s go on sale nationally Thursday 19th August at 9am via Ticketmaster or your usual mob of promoters/industry folk… Any other info and for the line-up in your capital city, just browse on over to the Summadayze website.

Diplo vs Tiësto – C’Mon (Original Mix)

I want to hate it like so many others on the interwebs have but I can’t… I know it shouldn’t work but it does. Always wondered what this track was when I heard it dropped at the Big T’s recent Kaleidoscope world tour.

With Stereosonic just over a week away I thought I’d start throwing a few posts here and there featuring music from some of the festival’s line-up. Today I present you with those italo/ghetto/house crunkers the Crookers and their 2hr liveset at the Social Club in Paris. Tracklisting and download link after the jump.

Boys Noize at Future Music Festival 2010 + confirmation of Oz visit for Power World Tour = sideshow in March? Hmm…

Of course there’s more to be added and I’ll keep ya posted when that comes through…

Sorry folks I completely let this one slip off the radar. Probably because the only news I heard about confirmed artists were the Beetroots and Chicane from my sources. That and I was unsure whether my trip back to the motherland was gonna be around December… Anyway, the lineup has been confirmed now and it looks to be pretty solid with the return of the ‘mau5 and the Italians. Anyway here’s you’re 2009 Stereosonic line-up:

• Deadmau5
• Axwell
• Fedde Le Grand
• John Dahlback
• The Crookers
• Surkin
• The Bloody Beetroots feat. MC Justin Pearson
• Miss Kittin & The Hacker
• Marco Carola
• Chicane
• Cut Copy DJs
• Drop The Lime
• Renaissance Man
• Alter Ego
• Zombie Nation
• Umek
• Hudson Mohawke
• Tim Sweeney
• The Cobra Snake
• Kidda
• Juan Kidd/Jason Herd
• Grant Smillie
• Andy Murphy
• Acid Jacks
• Grafton Primary
• Canyons
• Knightlife
• Bag Raiders
• + more to be announced…

Here are the tour dates for your city:

Saturday 28th November – Moore Park, Hordern, RHI & Surrounds, Sydney
Sunday 29th November – Claremont Showground, Perth
Saturday 5th December – Bonython Park, Adelaide
Saturday 5th December – Royal Melbourne Showgrounds, Melbourne
Sunday 6th December – Eagle Farm Racecourse, Brisbane

Tickets go on sale August 20th so don’t muck about when that day rolls on through. So my fellow paparazzos (I think paparazzi is the correct plural term but meh…), are we ready to rock out?

That 90s dance/trance/tekkers sound is back people! Think Sash, Faithless etc… Whatever happened to Sash… Anyway, this is first track off Calvin’s yet to be released or titled new album which made its international debut up in Sydney during their NYE bash earlier this year. Yay for Australia, nay for it being Sydney…

I have a feeling this track is gonna get flogged a fair bit year. How flogged you might say? Let’s say if it makes a Ministry Of Sound or OneLove compilation, it’s flogged… Savour it now people before you have to get your music snob on with everyone.

Anyway, enjoy the great tune and experience the rather shithouse video.
