Deorro shares new track “Obvious” on Ultra Music

Deorro adds to his ever-growing arsenal of new music with “Obvious,” out now on Ultra Music. The reality is, however, there’s nothing at all obvious about this single. Smooth and emotive, “Obvious” represents a new style for the Mexican-American producer and follows the release of “Keep It Goin’” featuring Danny Avila, the Latin-infused “Pica” featuring Elvis Crespo and Henry Fong, “Focus” and “Wild Like The Wind.” These songs span multiple genres, giving Deorro’s fans a taste of something new with every release.

Stylistically, “Obvious” is an indie driven electronic track, with slicker-than-ice production and gentle vocals that meld into the perfect pop-infused masterpiece. This is Deorro at his silkiest.

Deorro’s high energy sets are the stuff of legend and not to be missed. How lucky you are that he will be on tour throughout the spring/summer, including performances at Chicago’s Lollapalooza and more.

Obviously, you need more Deorro in your life, so do yourself a favor and listen to “Obvious” here:

Deorro Tour Dates – more TBA
6/1 – Echostage – Washington, DC (w/ Steve Aoki)
6/7 – The Park Ultra Lounge – Sacramento, CA
6/8 – Marquee Dayclub – Las Vegas, NV

Indy 500 2019 Snake Pit by Coors Light

Indy 500 Snake Pit presented by Coors Light

And just like that, summer officially starts in the circle city. The Indianapolis 500 kicks off a series of events that define the summer season in Hoosier-ville. The heat, the sun, the constant wonder if it will actually rain, and of course, the unavoidable farmers tan lines – caused by the constant uncertainty of really not knowing it will rain or not!

The 2019 edition of the infamous Snake Pit couldn’t ask for better weather. The morning overcast cleared around the time the green flag was waved and the sky provided enough clouds to not overheat the hearts that thump throughout turn 3 of the Indianapolis Motor Speed Way. The Snake Pit class of 2019 was initiated by Ricky Retro, followed by electro-deep house DJ Chris Lake (personal favorite), next Illenium dropped his classic uplifting beats before the Pre-race traditions and green flag allowed the Indy 500 drivers take over the track.

The music resumed with Alesso taking over the decks. He’s hour and a half set fueled up the energy and brought back to life the rookies that were a little too drunk by the end of Chris Lakes’ set – we’ve all been there. Skillex took over as race day came close to it end. He’s music kept up with the roaring of the cars as they approached their finals turns and the energy throughout the track cheered the victory of Simon Pagenaud. Our Snake Pit will always deliver an incredible time, generate memories that will leave forever; specially the ones that some might forget. Wether the 2019 edition kicked started your summer festivities or provided you with major FOMO, rest assure that better planning (on your part) for the 2020 Indianapolis 500 Snake Pit is undeniable. Check out the 2019 Snake Pit Presented by Coors Light SQUAD:

How are you celebrating your Memorial Day Weekend?

Swedish House Mafia Returns For Stunning Hometown Shows

This past weekend, Swedish House Mafia reunited for three historic sold-out nights at Stockholm’s Tele2 Arena, breaking the venue’s attendance record with over 115,000 fans attending the shows. See footage of the epic performance HERE.

Axwell, Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso gave fans everything that has made Swedish House Mafia one of the most compelling live acts in the world – a stunning production, their classic hits such as “Don’t You Worry Child,” “Save The World,” and “One” plus a special first listen of some brand new music.

Fans from around the world travelled to be a part of the spectacular shows and were treated to a massive production featuring a 54 metre long and 17 metre high screen, a vast floating stage, three giant circular lighting rings creating Swedish House Mafia’s signature logo and three huge circles of fire that were suspended above the packed crowd.

Swedish House Mafia’s story so far has been one of amazing highs, with the trio achieving global success that propelled them to the forefront of dance music. Despite later facing difficult times that saw the breakdown of friendships along the way, Swedish House Mafia has put the past behind them, coming back together as artists, friends and family. Their return to their hometown marks the beginning of the next chapter for the iconic trio.

Nicole Moudaber Announces First Single of 2019 On ‘Seeing It Through’ EP

Currently marching her way through her biggest North American tour to date with performances at Ultra Music Festival and back-to-back headlining weekends at Coachella including being one of the first artists to ever be live-streamed from the YUMA Tent, Nicole Moudaber continues her dominance in the techno-sphere with her ‘Seeing It Through’ EP, her first original release of 2019.

Kicking the techno engine into gear, title track “Seeing It Through” will be sure to cater to fans of her signature dark and driving techno as the EP opens with heavy kick drum thunder. Arriving as the EP’s shortest yet most powerful offering, the track makes a point to lace listeners into a hypnotic groove that will leave them in awe, classic Moudaber at her finest. Keeping her foot on the pedal in “Common Dreams,” the MOOD label head introduces an entrancing motif that builds with warm pads throughout. Wrapping up the release’s final stretch, “The Sun at Midnight” opens with a mood setting musical atmosphere that inspires mysticism and journeys into the unknown. Immersing her fellow passengers along for the techno ride, it is not long before the track explodes with punching synths and a reverberating kick designed for peak moments. Road-tested and primed to perfection on dancefloors around the world, Nicole Moudaber always finishes strong.

Andrew Bayer Shares His ‘In My Next Life’ Album

After touring his critically-acclaimed 2018 album ‘In My Last Life’ to sold out crowds across North America, Andrew Bayer unveils ‘In My Next Life’: a complete album of club-ready reinterpretations aimed squarely at the dance floor.

“Even though “In My Last Life” is experimental and does range through different tempos & styles, I did have the intention of doing club mixes”
explains Andrew, backstage at his sold-out Exchange LA stop.

Fans have enjoyed a steady stream of ‘In My Last Life’ single releases since August 2018 with several unveiled during Andrew Bayer’s performance at Above & Beyond’s landmark Group Therapy 300 celebrations in Hong Kong including ‘Open End Resource’, ‘Your Eyes’ and the only collaboration on the record, ‘Love You More’ with fellow Anjunabeats label-mate Genix.

Retaining the heavy vocal presence of Ane Brun & Alison May in each remix, Andrew has transformed one of his admittedly most challenging undertakings yet in ‘In My Last Life’ into a confident and accomplished club record.

“I have this masochistic backbone in me that I have to challenge myself at every turn, and that was the way to challenge myself with ‘In My Next Life’“.
– Andrew

Taking his ‘In My Next Life’ remixes and a host of new productions on the road this year, Andrew joins the Anjunabeats North American tour in Austin, Washington DC, Denver, Vancouver, LA (5/4) & San Francisco (5/10). Tickets available: http://anjunabeats.com/tour
