DJMag Top 100: Armin van Buuren Voted #1 DJ @ Roseland 10.31

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

The official and full results of the British DJ Mag Top 100 poll were revealed last night at the official ‘DJ Mag Top 100 DJ’s Party 2008’ in London’s Ministry of Sound. DJ Mag announced that Armin van Buuren has been voted number one DJ for the second year in a row!

Armin van Buuren has been listed in the DJ Mag Top 100 since 2001, when he entered the poll at the 27th position. In 2002 he climbed up to the 5th position, and in 2003, 2004 and 2005 he was listed at the third spot. In 2006 he moved up to the second place, until eventually in 2007 he topped the Poll with a number one position. And this year he did it again!

2007 and 2008 have undoubtedly been 2 of the busiest, yet exciting years for Armin van Buuren. Next to hosting his award winning, weekly radio show ‘A State of Trance’, which is being broadcasted to across 40 FM stations around the world and with an estimated 25 million listeners, Armin has released his third artist album ‘Imagine’. The album entered the Dutch album chart with a number one position, and was therefore the first dance album in Dutch music history to ever achieve that. Armin also toured the world with his ‘Armin Only: Imagine’ concerts, with the sold out first edition in the Jaarbeurs venue in Utrecht, providing more than 16.000 party people a stunning show and exclusive 9 hour set.

Armin’s reaction: “For me this is an incredible honour, because it’s an award from the votes of so many dance music lovers that went online to vote. I‘d like to take the opportunity to thank everyone for their support. I could have never done this without the help of so many people. My management, David Lewis Productions, Armada & Cloud 9. Thanks to DJ Mag for an incredible year, thanks to all clubbers, fans, promoters, club owners, magazines, websites, radio stations, record labels, etcetera. Thank YOU!“

Catch Armin van Buuren this Halloween in NYC – Friday, October 31st.

Pulser Releases “Sunseeker”

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

With nearly 100 productions and remixes under his belt from 8 different guises including Insigma (with Thrillseekers), Basstarts (with Lange) Olmec Heads and Trinity Project, Andy is one of the most successful DJ-Producers from the scene to date. Now returning to the equally iconic Maelstrom Records under his Pulser alias, we present to you Sunseeker.

After being discovered by Paul Oakenfold back in 1997, Pulser has progressed from the classic ‘Cloudwalking’ era of 2000 and today gives way to a honed, harder, electro-tinged, style of progressive trance. Equally known for his DJ sets, Pulser has played at some of the biggest events in the club calendar but doesn’t let this go to his head. With an ethos to always support new tracks from up and coming artists, Andy frequently chooses the new breed over established names to remix his own tracks, helping to promote them and keep the scene fresh.

Providing Vocal and Dub mixes, Sunseeker is a slick produced piece of euphoria, a perfect soundtrack for chasing that sunset or sipping a cool drink whilst chilling on the beach – the weather may be turning dismal but Sunseeker can help transport you somewhere else.

Pacha Recordings & New State Entertainment Join Forces for UK Compilations Deal

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

Luxury club & global lifestyle brand Pacha joined forces with UK independent label group New State Entertainment this week. The label arm of the Pacha Group, Pacha Recordings, inked a five-album deal with New State Entertainment for exclusive Pacha branded compilations in the UK & Eire.

Tim Binns, A&R Director for New State Entertainment, comments, “I’m really excited about working with the Pacha label and brand. It’s an iconic brand with a huge musical history that has grown and extended into many different areas outside music, so the potential is massive”.

The deal will take in TV advertised and non-TV advertised compilations spanning Pacha’s existing music brands, such as Pure Pacha, but also introducing some fresh concepts for 2009 and beyond.

Steve Hulme, International Label Manager/A&R for Pacha Recordings adds, “It feels like a perfect fit for Pacha´s maverick approach to the club world and record business. New State has amazing brands working with them already such as Tiësto, Godskitchen, Cream and Bugged Out and I’m very happy to join Pacha Recordings to that illustrious list. Tim Binns and Tom Parkinson are not afraid to take on projects outside the mainstream. They have a great awareness for the iconic brands they work with and have consistently managed to create success around those brands in the popular consumer market whilst retaining integrity for the brands themselves.”

The first release is scheduled to be a TV advertised project for March 2009.

Pacha NYC presents BENNY BENASSI : Rock’N'Rave Tour – 11.7

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

Pacha NYC presents Grammy Award winning Italian electro-house superstar Benny Benassi with an opening set by Ultra Records own David Waxman at Pacha NYC on Friday, November 7th.

Benny Benassi hits the states with his fourth studio album, ‘Rock ‘n’ Rave’, including the hit single, “I’m Not Drunk”. The album stays true to Benassi’s electro style with the majority of tracks being heavily structured around a repetitive synth hook, shouting the odd computerized vocal. While Benassi might be best known for his 2002 summer club hit “Satisfaction”, he has a long list of accomplishments spanning the past six years. “Satisfaction” reached top spots in Singles and Dance Charts across Europe, receiving praise from the likes of Carl Cox, Roger Sanchez, and Darren Emerson to name a few. A year later Benassi released his debut solo album, the campy and quirky “Hypnotica”, which won the European Borders Breakers Award in 2004 and also racked up the most sales for an Italian album outside of Italy. In the same year Benassi found himself ranked 18 in the DJ Mag favorite Top 100 DJ poll. Soon after, he founded his own label, Pump-kin Music, which primarily focuses on new and unsigned producers, with the goal of bringing exposure to the lesser known DJ/production talent across the world. In August 2007, Benassi released a remix of Public Enemy’s “Bring the Noise”, for which he won a Grammy for Best Remix (Dance) in early 2008.

Moguai & Zenker Release ‘Diamond Back’ – Out Now!

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

What do you get when two of the biggest German artists join forces to produce two bass thumping slabs of electro for one of the coolest labels? Well see for yourself by clicking on the link above!

Responsible for French Kiss under his Honesty 69 guise and also part of dance outfit Fragma, Ramon Zenker has also worked with Paul van Dyk, Depeche Mode and New Order. Teaming up with Moguai who has an extremely busy year releasing for the likes of iO Music and his very own label PUNX plus hosting some mega parties and presenting two of the biggest radio shows in Germany, its quite frankly a wonder that these two found the time to meet.

Diamond Back is a stripped back tech-minimal affair that keeps you on your toes with plenty of unexpected jolty build-ups, mixing in some distorted claps and twisted synth stabs for good measure. Pierce then steps up to the remix table and slam-dunks the original into a totally different place. Think tribal drums, cricket sounding wood blocks and a very deep bass line- this would fit right in with the deep house brigade. Then out of no-where, Andrea Doria comes into the wrestling remix ring, turning out a dark, edgy, very cool piece of electronica.

Back to Moguai and Zenker, who provide us with track no. 3 titled Ray. This piece of Electro Tech-House builds nicely with chord progression, and dramatic build ups, moving on to the finishing Track of the EP from Oliver Koletzki who has done a mashup of both Diamond Back and Ray together… Go check it out!

Thursday, October 23rd, 2008

Made Event presents the genre defying legendary DJ/Producer Sasha with Ulrich Schnauss at Webster Hall on Friday, November 7th for one of his final performances on the Invol2ver Tour.

Finally, after 4 years, false tracklistings, fake torrent downloads and even doctored artwork, Sasha’s “Invol2ver”, the follow up to the album that redefined the DJ mix has arrived. It quickly garnered a #1 spot on iTunes’ US Dance Chart after its digital release and has since remained in the top 25. Invol2ver has recently been nominated for the prestigious People’s Design Award and Sasha was named Top Progressive House DJ at this year’s DJ Awards in Ibiza.

Featuring 13 tracks worth of Sasha gold, the standard edition features Sasha’s unique re-workings of musical giants such as Radiohead’s Thom Yorke and American folk singer Ray LaMontagne as well as formidable electronic artists Apparat and Ladytron, while the limited edition comes equipped with a second CD of Sasha remix exclusives. These include alternative edits of Charlie May’s ‘Midnight (Extended Mix)’, Home Video’s ‘Gas Tank (Sasha Invol2ver Remix)’, Lostep’s ‘Burma (Involver Dub Mix)’, Thom Yorke’s ‘Eraser (Sasha Coma Remix)’, Sasha Vs Ray LaMontagne ‘Eclipse (CM Dub Mix)’ and Girls In Hawaii ‘Flavor (Sasha Invol2ver Remix)’.

Joining Sasha for this very special night of music is Ulrich Schnauss, the Berlin-based artist known for creating a sound that meanders between shoegazer and dance while also demonstrating his skill for songwriting.

Sasha Invol2ver is out now on CD and digital on Global Underground.

• This week’s UK club chart no 1!

New State Music & Maelstrom Records are proud to release this year’s Ibizan, festival and club anthem Infinity 2008. Formed earlier this year, Guru Josh Project has been created by three individuals with a love and passion for electronic music and old skool 90’s rave. Featuring Guru Josh himself, DJ-producer Darren Baile and fellow producer SnakeByte, their aim is to bring back the magic of the last decade’s dance scene with a fresh take on Guru Josh’s anthemic worldwide smash Infinity.

Born as an underground anthem in Manchester’s famous Hacienda Club, Guru Josh’s Infinity grew to become the biggest dance record of 1990 selling millions of copies and breaking charts worldwide. The standout cut with the dreamy saxophone became one of the first acid house crossover hits ever hitting no.5 in the UK charts a becoming a true genre classic!

Initially signed by Frankfurt record label Big City Beats, Infinity 2008 is currently
smashing Germany, hitting top 10 in the official Media Control German sales charts from download sales alone and is ready to aim higher when the CD single is released. This enormous anthem is now set for UK & Eire release by New State / Maelstrom Records and features the chart busting Klaas vocal edit, the club cracking Klaas mix, as well as the dirtier but equally hot, Jerome Isma-Ae Remix.

Infinity 2008 has joined Radio 1’s prestigious A list and also hit no. 1 this week in the influential Shazam tag chart off club plays and early radio spins alone.
