Tiesto and Avicii Earn $50 Million From Soft Drink Deals

0
0

We all know the biggest EDM DJs are raking in the money in today’s pop-culture fervour for dance music, with huge tours and chart-topping productions earning millions. On top of their mega-bucks music earnings, Tiesto and Avicii have reportedly accrued another $50 million between them through soft drink deals.

In 2014 Tiesto pulled in $30 million from a deal with 7UP and Avicii earned $20 million from a remix of OneRepublic he did with Wyclef Jean in partnership with Coca Cola.

The American market has capitalised on dance music’s popularity and catapulted EDM’s biggest DJs into the highest tier of music earners. Tiesto is reportedly worth $90 million whilst Avicii is reportedly worth $60 million.

Art Department's 'Natural Selection' Officially Released

0
0

The road to Art Department's new album "Natural Selection" has been paved with mystery and intrigue. After revealing "Cruel Intentions feat. Seth Troxler," the sultry and psychedelic first single and a Pete Tong Essential New Tune, Art Department unleashed "Catch You By Surprise," a moody album cut bursting with raw emotive power.

Now, after months of anticipation, "Natural Selection" has been officially released. It's an album that's been brewing in the consciousness of the duo for quite some time. Fortunately, the execution lives up to the vision: "Natural Selection" is both creatively liberating and artistically mature.

"Natural Selection" represents the music, the story and Art Department's evolution from the projects inception until now, alongside Kenny and Johnny's personal journeys as individuals. Strewn with themes that centre on the cyclical idiosyncrasy of 'natural selection', Art Department explore a defined narrative throughout the LP; feelings of spiritual awakening and tranquility, indecision and turmoil tell a story in which the beginning could in fact be the end. "Natural Selection" is a diverse album in which Johnny and Kenny's inherently seamless production is in-fact a prerequisite to their existence.

Art Department's winter world tour celebrates the release of "Natural Selection" and will see the duo take their immersive DJ performances to the world's most esteemed venues, festivals and No.19 Music label showcases around the globe from this month until early 2015. Art Department have been installed as residents at CircoLoco, at arguably the most revered club on earth - DC-10 (Ibiza) since 2010 and have performed at legendary venues and trendsetting festivals worldwide, including Panorama Bar (Berlin), Fabric (UK), Warung (Brazil), Output (NY), Ultra Music Festival (Miami), Lollapalooza (Chicago), Tomorrowland (Belgium), BPM (Mexico), Burning Man (Black Rock), Coachella (California) to name just a few.

The Natural Selection Tour will include some of these legendary venues as well as Art Department favourites and a series of intimate listening parties hosted by Art Department themselves.

Purchase: iTunes / Beatport

Stream: Soundcloud / Spotify

Natural Selection is out today through No.19 Music.

Frank & Tony Release "You Go Girl"

0
0

After six inimitable EPs ranging from blissful pop to slow burning house, Frank & Tony, aka Francis Harris and AnthonyCollins, the creative force behind the boutique label Scissor and Thread, break new ground once again with their debut full length, "You Go Girl.”

Reflecting the spellbinding vibe of their monthly "Punch Drunk Love" residency in The Panther Room at Brooklyn’s Output, “You Go Girl,” marks the duo's turn from their pop-driven work with proteges Bob Moses towards a grittier, analogue, club-centric approach. The result is an enduring slice of true dance floor magic that nods to Basic Channel, Detroit and New York house while rolling along effortlessly for nearly an hour.

"You"

"Go"

"Girl"

Highlights include "Bring the Sun," an achingly elegant ode to lost love sung by frequent label contributor Gry Bagøien, as well as the catchy house roller “Resistance,” which features Jason Poranski of Beirut. The November 17th digital release of the album is to be preceded by a three part vinyl version, (the individually titled “You,” “Go,” and “Girl,” EPs are due October 20th, November 3rd and November 17th, respectively,) with an alternate track list heavy on DJ-friendly dubs and exclusives including the sprawling thirteen minute, “Companion,” a collaboration with DJ Sprinkles that has the indescribable feel of an instant classic.

New York’s DJ and music pioneer Rich Medina, famous for bringing Fela Kuti sound to dancefloors with the ‘Jump N Funk’ events, will be in Joburg this weekend. The DJ, producer and poet will be at two events: on Thursday, he will be conducting a workshop hosted by Kid Fonque at Thesis, Soweto; on Saturday, he will play a special all-vinyl set at AND club (who threw a massive headline into their birthday party on the weekend and seem to be blooming ridiculously). The latter is also a Kid Fonque event, as part of their monthly #2SIDESOFTHEBEAT series.

With a love of music that spans several genre music spheres, Medina takes audiences through landscapes of hip hop, house, soul, afrobeat, funk, breaks and dance classics.

“Music has been for me, next to my mother, one of the few things that hasn’t told me any lies. Music is always honest… and that honesty is (also) in the reaction”. Medina is “always working, always busy”, a poet, educator, music producer, international recording artist and a journalist. He has written columns and features to a wide variety of publications, including The Fader and Wax Poetics, and works now at Cornell University and as part of a Cornell Collective, as well as doing voice work while releasing new music.

Get all the event details here. 

Here is an African-flavoured Rich Medina mix to warm you up for the event:

A man on top of his game, Maceo Plex is just about the last person who needs to give away his music. 

But luckily for us, having just finished a remix of "The Warden" from American singer-songwriter Chelsea Wolfe, that's exactly what he just did. 

Truth be told, the track was practically begging for an Estornel retouch, with its dark edge, powerful, pulsing synths and hazy, psychedelic violas. And Plex steps right up, delivering a superb club-ready cut. Listen and download below.

Joseph S. Joyce - Vedanta EP

0

Joseph S. Joyce
Vedanta EP
Default Position

8/10

Although only three releases in, Default Position is making waves in the techno world and setting itself up for a long, fruitful life. Label owner Joseph S. Joyce delivers the latest release, the Vedanta EP, which is a beautiful slice of deep, hypnotic dub techno.

The original mix was inspired by (and named after) a passage from Swami Rama Tirtha’s biography, which discusses a deep philosophical connection between work and success. The inspiration is clear: subtle, spacious dub chords, minimalistic percussion and heady atmospherics all swirl together into a blissed-out, hypnotic trip.

Sebastian Mullaert, one half of Minilogue, offers up three interpretations of the track which are basically variations on a theme. The unnamed 'Remix' is an up-tempo, stripped-back and haunting ride. Echoed acid squelches wiggle about in between crisp, rolling hats and percussive clicks, while washed-out pads and chords incessantly drone in the background.

The 'Boulder Dub' is essentially the 'Remix' with many of the melodic layers stripped away, leaving just the occasional grainy, reverbed dub chord, and giving the tasty TB-303 sounds room to do their thing – a more minimal, but no less effective, interpretation.

Rounding out the release is the digital-only 'Echoes In The Mist' remix, a tribal-infused roller that uses the low-end groovy from the other two versions as its basis, but takes the track in more of a chunky tech-house direction thanks to some highly effective tribal percussion, funky chords and clever effects.

Fresh Blood: Death On The Balcony

0
0

Fusing techno, house, and disco with plenty of soul, Leeds duo Death On The Balcony has been catching the right ears as of late.

Along with labels like Pets Recordings, Holic Trax, and Akbal Music, Mark Caramelli and Paul Hargreaves most recently caught the attention of D-Edge owner Renato Ratier, who released the duo's 'One Time Too Much' on EP on D-Edge Records,' an EP chock full of emotion that speaks volumes about their musical experience and knowledge.

Behind the decks, they're equally ambitious, cutting through shades of dark and light, melodic and deep, all the while capturing that soulfull essence that makes them, them. This has lead to a steady diary of gigs in their native UK, as well as South America, Barcelona, Berlin, and even Turkey. 

We caught up with Mark and Paul via email to find out a bit more about who they are, their feelings on the upcoming holiday season, and what's next, and they provided a Fresh Blood mix, which you can download below. 

For people who don’t already know you, can you tell us a little about yourself? We are Paul & Mark, a duo producing and DJing within the electronic realms of music together since around 2006, both initially from the same hometown of Blackpool in the North of England, but met in Leeds. You can find releases from us on labels like SUOL, Pets Recordings, Dirt Crew, D-Edge Records, Holic to name a few. We share a love of all things house and techno with a splash of disco – also, a love of all things ‘80s, warm brews and a penchant for Rich Tea biscuits.

How did you get into electronic music, and who were some of your early inspirations? Inspirations for us range from NYC disco scene in ‘70s/’80s and the Paradise Garage, and Larry Levan and David Mancuso’s Loft, through to Ron Hardy’s Muzic Box and all the Chicago House sounds heard there. Larry Heard has always been one to us that stands out but when you start naming names you have to name them all!

Also, the sounds of the UK such as the new wave/electronic-pop scene, the Blitz sound, Visage, Depeche Mode, etc., into early ‘90s music like Beloved, Portishead, etc., then obviously into acid house with the Hacienda sounds and also older labels like Strictly Rhythm, Cajual, Hard Times with Todd Terry, Cajmere, Masters At Work...

There is also a great wealth of European electronic music that needs mentioning like Kraftwerk and ‘80s Italo disco. Also ‘70s and ‘80s soul music like Rose Royce and the more popular choices like Prince – but a popular choice for a reason! Soundtracks and scores have also always had a big influence on us personally, and our style as another point of inspiration! This has only really scratched the surface…

With the year drawing to a close, how would you say 2014 has been? As an artist you can be your own worst critic, and potentially, this is one of the reasons that drives you on to improve and acts as a motivation. We have been very happy with certain aspects of 2014 and also some that can definitely be improved. We are very happy to have been involved with releasing music on labels like Suol and Dirt Crew this year. We were really happy with how our EP on Disko went, too.

We’re also looking forward to seeing some of the music come out that we have signed to some labels for 2015! We have been very selective with who we are putting originals out with, so we’re very happy to be working with these labels. A valuable lesson from this year that has really sunk in is that patience is most definitely a virtue!

You’ll be playing the Christmas Special at Egg London next month with some serious names, including Nicole Moudaber and Tobi Neumann. What have you got in store, and are you big fans of the holiday season? Yes we are very much looking forward to that. Other than that we have a few parties on ourselves in London one at our favourite pub rave, Horse & Groom, and the other a Vice&Virtue party for 100 people – also a trip to Bulgaria.

I wouldn’t say we are Christmas crazy by any means, nor religious. Christmas, like most other festivals, has been diluted into an annual consumer madness groundhog day to the sound of Slade with big business and moneymaking, kind of like Scrooge, but without the redemption at the end. Somehow the original message was lost… but we do love a chocolate orange still don’t we.

For us, the positive message that can be taken from it is simple. Time spent with the family & loved ones, catching up with old friends, time for reflecting...

What’s been the most satisfying moment of your career thus far? Not sure there is that one seminal moment beyond all the others. When we get to travel places for gigs or people who you don’t know on the other side of the world contact you to say they are enjoying what you have done, those are the moments you remember.

Obviously you want to see your music doing well and get support, be on the radio and whatnot, but the simple fact that you connected with someone, somewhere reassures and drives us to keep doing this everyday.



You’ve released on labels like Suol, Dirt Crew, and most recently, Renato Ratier’s D-Edge. Where else would you ideally like to see your tracks released? As we touched upon earlier, we have been being very selective who we are contacting with original material recently. We want to make it count and make sure it’s heard via the right platform. We want to release with people who we respect and are supporters of their sound. A release on Ostgut Ton (Panorama Bar series) would be nice! Also Rush Hour, Delusions of Grandeur and Permanent Vacation are releasing consistently great stuff.

There are many more than that who we also value but we would be here all day listing them if we continued! We would also like to release again with our existing label connections. As much as we will be looking to do stuff with new labels we will want to build something with them too.

Can you tell us about how you approached the exclusive mix you’ve provided us? These mixes really build themselves. It’s a selection of tracks we love, old and new, that have either been doing it for us when we play out or that we have just pulled back out to start playing again.

What’s next on your horizon? Next up is a remix of Asadinho’s ‘Love Capacity’ on RVS music. Then next year we have something on Exploited’s Black Jukebox series and some stuff coming on Lee Burridge’s All Day I Dream and San Fran’s Smoke N’ Mirrors imprint, too.

Also, we will be releasing a second mixed artist EP on our label Vice&Virtue where we have done a collaboration with NUDES. Other artists involved are Bearight, Stassy & Wilck, Remi Mazet and Picture House. All being well it should be out on vinyl in February or March time.

Other than that just continuing with our gigs and travels – we will be going to Brazil in February to play D-Edge and Warung plus a few more to be announced as part of a tour, so we are very much looking forward to that! A few festivals have come in already so will be glad to be back at Hideout, and also another one in Southport. We will also be continuing our series of A Tale of Vice&Virtue parties. We have some other stuff in the pipeline for the studio, and a few collaborations with other artists on the horizon, which we hope will come together next year.

All to be written yet but will be very interesting if it comes together!

Prunk: 'I’d love to give my own twist to the genre I love'

0
0

Once on a path to be a pro footballer, Nilz Pronk thankfully turned his attention towards music. 

Today, he's one of Amsterdam's premiere authorities on deep house as co-founder of Deep House Amsterdam (also running the DHA label), as well as being one of the city's premiere DJs of the genre. His foresight and love for the music has earned him prime time slots at some of The Netherlands' biggest festivals, including DGTL and Valhalla, and next month, he'll help represent his native land at Time Warp Netherlands along side the likes of fellow natives Joop Junior, Juan Sanchez, De Sluwe Vos, and Nuno Dos Santos, as well as a who's who of big name techno and house DJs.

So ahead of his December 6th Time Warp performance at Jaarbeurs, we caught up with Prunk to find out a bit more about his football days, Deep House Amsterdam, his incredible 2014, and he provided an exclusive Time Warp mix. 

For people who don’t already know you, can you tell us a little about yourself? Good afternoon! I’m Nilz Pronk a.k.a. Prunk , and I’m a deep house DJ from Amsterdam. The last couple of years I tried to push that genre in the Netherlands, mainly by producing and playing loads of gigs at very different locations and parties, but now also as a label manager at Deep House Amsterdam. I’d love to give my own twist to the genre I love.

I understand you were almost a professional footballer, but chose music instead. Do you every think back and wonder, “what if?” Well, not really. It became evident I fit in better in the world of music than on a football pitch. I’m playing the Dutch Premier League, so to say. If I’d been a pro footballer I think I would’ve ended up with a Dutch second tier team. I wasn’t that great a player.

Who would you have played for, and who’s your favourite team now? As a boy I dreamt of playing for FC Barcelona. In primary school I even gave a presentation on club legend Johan Cruijff. I’m still a big fan, but unfortunately I don’t have the time to watch many games.

You’ve seen success rather quickly as a DJ, playing major Netherlands festivals like DGTL and Valhalla, as well as in Barcelona with Steve Lawler this summer. What’s been the biggest challenge of your career so far? This year things really took a flight. I’m grateful people trusted in me enough to play so many prime time slots. It’s funny you named DGTL. They were one of the first festivals to book me between some international headliners. I liked the challenge. The gig went well and it was amazing to celebrate with all those great DJs.

And on the opposite side, the best moment of your career so far? Without a doubt being invited by Carl Cox to play in Space, Ibiza, during his Revolution night. That was the highlight of the summer for me.

I understand you’re also a resident with Deep House Amsterdam. How did that connection come about? Actually, I’m a bit more than a resident. I run Deep House Amsterdam with my buddy Lex van Aken who takes care of the website. Together with a team we arrange for the mixes and in January we started a label together with Sony.

You’re going to be playing Time Warp Netherlands for the first time this year. Have you been to the party before? No, to my regret. That may be the fate of the DJ – you have to get a booking to see those parties. I had a gig elsewhere.

What are you most looking forward to about your set there? The rest of the line-up is absolutely amazing. It’s great to see so many different genres growing towards each other during Time Warp. I’m pretty excited to see Ricardo Villalobos and Adriatique.

You’ve put together an exclusive mix for Pulse Radio and Time Warp ahead of your appearance, can you tell us a little bit about the inspirations behind the set? If you listen to my other podcasts, you will notice they are quite cheerful and sunny. Now winter is coming, I tried to put a little bit more darkness in my mix. This podcast sounds darker and deeper, but I think I maintained my groove, so to speak.

What’s next on your horizon? I’ve been in the studio a lot lately. I recorded enough material that I’m proud of for a couple of EPs. I can’t wait to share my new tracks with the world.

Prunk plays Time Warp Netherlands 2014 at Jaarbeurs, which takes place on December 6th.
