On May 15th, Carl will be making the pilgrimage to San Francisco to perform for the annual Playground fundraiser at The Midway.
Playground has become a musical beacon on the Black Rock City landscape ever since it first emerged from Carl’s private RV in 2014. You heard me right, Carl originated the idea for Playground while attending Burning Man with some friends back in 2008. He found himself playing to more and more burners who’d just pop on his RV for a dance and a drink and he thought to himself, “It’s a bit crowded in here and we have the whole desert to play in…I really should take this outside!”
It’s certainly come a long way since the days in that RV, but the essence and communal vibe remain absolutely the same.
Today, Playground is a fundamental soundcamp at Burning Man for one reason only- burners love it. The team around this camp simply are the best of the best who bring years of creative, logistical and engineering experience to the camp. It’s a massive undertaking to produce and execute something of this caliber and scale out in the desert, but they do it and do it well!
The production, as one could imagine, is superb with great thought given to each last detail- anything that would ensure a stop at Playground is the experience of a lifetime is the goal of the entire team.
This year, the Playground fundraiser will be held on May 15th at The Midway in San Francisco. Carl will be joined by fellow burner and Playground camp alum, Joseph Capriati along with rising techno talent, Enrico Sangiuliano.

Get your cool shades (here are some really cool ones: www.smartbuyglasses.ca/designer-sunglasses/general/ ) ready because Ultra Music Festival will return to its longtime home at Bayfront Park March 20 – 22, 2020, with a stacked roster of talent from across the electronic music spectrum. Following last month’s highly-acclaimed RESISTANCE lineup reveal of artists including CamelPhat, Gorgon City, Eats Everything, and ANNA, the festival has added a multitude of performers to its already impressive lineup.
All live headliners will be making their exclusive Miami Music Week performances, including multi-instrumentalist crossover kingpin Gryffin who careens between guitar and drums, Gareth Emery’s immersive, cutting-edge laser technology in the exclusive Lazerface show of 2020, Madeon’s first ever live Ultra appearance featuring him singing, playing keys and drum pads, and SOFI TUKKER’s ecstatic performance helmed by their custom-designed ‘book tree’ instrument which the duo uses to trigger various samples.
Headlining DJs also making their exclusive Miami Music Week performances include Kygo spinning a special sunset slot in his first Ultra set since his surprise 2017 appearance, and Parisian production cohorts Malaa and DJ Snake making their back-to-back festival debut in their first announced collaborative set of the year. Another headlining exclusive performance will come from KSHMR, who ascended DJ Mag’s Top 100 chart to the number 15 spot last fall, and will now reveal his KSHMR Presents Dharma experience for the first time ever, welcoming fans into his record label’s cinematic electro-house universe. Headlining Ultra veteran Oliver Heldens will return to showcase his bombastic, progressive beats, while hip-hop-meets-techno hybrid powerhouse Loco Dice will once again command the decks at the RESISTANCE stage.
Ultra will continue demonstrating its commitment to innovative bookings with special live performances from acts like underground purveyor Boys Noize, melodic bass juggernaut Ookay, and vocalist-producer sister duo Krewella in their first Ultra set since 2014. The festival will also host debut performances from the likes of Snails B2B Kill The Noise, Thomas Gold B2B Deniz Koyu, Bassjackers B2B Dr Phunk, Deorro, Ilan Bluestone, 1788-L and more. Psytrance duo Vini Vici will make their main stage debut following years of celebrated A State Of Trance performances, while Dash Berlin will make his first festival appearance since relaunching the moniker as a solo project last year. Hot on the heels of his Ultra Abu Dhabi debut, Nicky Romero will perform his progressive house magic at Ultra Miami, and after Sander Van Doorn debuted his Purple Haze alias at Ultra in 2017, his dark trance meets tough techno side project will once again take the festival stage.
The UMF Radio Stage will celebrate its tenth anniversary with the Gud Vibrations label making its takeover debut, while fan-favorites like Revealed Recordings and STMPD RCRDS once again curate their own talent takeovers. Carl Cox will also celebrate the landmark achievement of 20 years at Ultra Miami by hosting his iconic RESISTANCE Megastructure at Bayfront Park during all three festival days for the first time ever, while Armin Van Buuren’s A State Of Trance will celebrate its own decade milestone partnership with the festival.

Just days before legendary Dutch DJ, label head and producer Sander van Doorn takes over the sounds of Prysm Nightclub in Chicago on Friday, Dec. 20th. I had the pleasure to connect and get a peak into the mind behind the amazing music. Get to know Sander van Doorn a bit more and if you’re in the 312 (Chicago), make sure to kick off your weekend at Prysm for the celebration of 15 years of his Identity Radio Show!!

We’re super excited for your Prysm show! What should your Chicago fans expect from your Dec. 20th show?
A lot of new music!! In the past few weeks I’ve been working on some really cool tracks and I’m definitely going to be playing them here!
Will we get to hear new music, at the show or any time soon?
Yes, I’m gonna be playing these at the show for sure.
How do you usually prepare for a club show vs. a festival show?
Doing club shows are always more intimate and the sets are longer (most of the time) compared to a festival. In a club you can spend some proper time really building up your set, building up the energy and working towards a climax. At festivals, the people have been already partying for a long time and there’s always another DJ playing before you, so you always need to start with a higher energy.
Photo provided by: Get In! PR.
Do you ever roam around the crowd before or after a set? If so, what do you usually look forward to?
Yeah sometimes I do! With festivals the vibe is always amazing. Everyone just wants to have a good time and they’ve specifically come for their favorite DJ’s. It’s really amazing!
On that note, will you get a chance to roam around Chicago while you’re here?
I’m gonna try for sure but I’ll be coming from another gig and the day after my show in Chicago I need to get up early to go to another city. So I don’t actually have much time in Chicago unfortunately. But I already spend a lot of time here and I really love this City!
Photo provided by: Get In! PR.
What would you say are your top 3 shows of 2019?
I don’t think I can choose because they were all amazing!! The most special one for me was doing a purple haze set completely in Dolby Atmos during ADE at the Melkweg Amsterdam. For this I re-mastered all my tracks in a Dolby studio to create a unique 3D surround sound and this took quite some time. Eventually with the event itself it was amazing to see how everything came together and how the people reacted to this.
Will you be attending Miami Music Week and Ultra Music Festival Miami 2020?
Haha, I can’t say much about that yet but I’m definitely going to Miami for Miami Music Week.
Photo provided by: Get In! PR.
With 2020 just a couple days away, how will you be ringing in the new year?
I’m gonna celebrate NYE in Asia with shows over there, which I’m really looking forward to.
Almost 13 years of DOORN Records! Huge congrats! When it comes to choosing talent, what’s something that you constantly look for in DJs/producers/singers?
I focus on their way of producing and their creativity. I recently signed a new track on Doorn and it’s completely different from what we normally release, but it’s so creative and well produced, I couldn’t resist it!
Last, our signature question: What are your three simple luxuries?
I think I’d have to say my studio, because it’s my musical haven, McDonalds haha, and then it’s not really a simple luxury, but the thing I couldn’t live without would be my little baby girl and my family.
Photo provided by: Get In! PR.

Following “Obsessions” and the announcement of his sophomore EP coming August 16th, house music prodigy Dillon Nathaniel has released the second track from the EP, “Mind Sensation” with the UK-based electronic duo Jack Beats today. The collaboration is a match made in dance floor heaven, with Nathaniel lending the track its house-y quality and skittering percussion, and Jack Beats bringing their signature hard-hitting elastic basslines and massive drops. Listen below:
R3HAB continues this summer’s hot streak by teaming up with Israeli psytrance duo Vini Vici for “Alive” ft. Pangea & Dego, fusing two considerably different styles to make arguably one of the most unique and dancefloor-friendly sounds of the summer. “Alive” delivers both R3HAB’s meticulous and upbeat melodies and the driving, heavy-hitting pulse of Vini Vicis’s psytrance basslines. Topping it all off with inspiring vocals makes the new track a bonafide festival anthem, and after watching the accompanying music video, it’s clear that was the artists’ intention. Find out what else happens in the music video and prepare to “live like you’re never gonna die.” “Alive” follows R3HAB’s “Don’t Give Up On Me” with Julie Bergan, “This Is How We Party” with Icona Pop, and “All Around The World” with A Touch of Class, which has been added to Spotify’s biggest playlist “Today’s Top Hits” and is getting closer and closer to surpass 100M streams on the platform. Listen here:
Three power houses of music collide and create an iconic track ideal for all forms of raging!
Dillon Francis and Alison Wonderland’s ethereal banger ‘Lost My Mind’ released earlier this year gets a bass driven remix by festival mainstay, NGHTMRE. This epic trifecta brings together some of the electronic scene’s most formidableartists, resulting in a hype tune guaranteed to be blasting through your speakers for the rest of the summer.
