HOUSE SCENE LEGEND DADARA’S LIKE 4 REAL MANIFESTO!

EDM NEWS, EVENT NEWS, FUN STUFF
[wp_ad_camp_2] Once upon a time we lived on a planet that gifted us all we needed in overabundance, so much so that we shared many of these gifts amongst ourselves. If we liked what others were doing we'd reward them with an encouraging hug, and tell them so. But the introduction of a debt-based monetary system has increasingly made us turn what was once deemed human nature into product, and human relations into services. [wp_ad_camp_1] Not so long ago, this development led to a miraculous occurrence. A new technology turned the act of Liking into a commodity, hence into a symbolic totem and a new belief, at a time when faith in religion and our monetary system is crumbling. At first these 'Likes' seemed innocent, a gift bestowed upon us unconditionally and in overabundance. Some...

SANDER VAN DOORN: NEVER STOP DROPPING ALBUMS!

EDM NEWS, INTERVIEWS
[wp_ad_camp_2] Some people call Sander Van Doorn a technical & musical genius. And who can deny it? He has cranked out more dance floor destroyers, sold-out gigs, number one records, and awards than most artists do in a lifetime. With the help of classics like Grasshopper, Punk’d and Riff, recent hits like Love is Darkness and of course massive collabs and remixes of The Killers (Spaceman), Sia (The Girl You Lost To Cocaine), Robbie Williams (Close My Eyes) and Depeche Mode (Peace) Sander shrugged off the confines of genre typecasting long ago and created something he prefers to call 'SvD-style.'

Anyway, Asylum had a little problem here and we at Hammarica expect you to help him out if you know/see anything! [wp_ad_camp_1] "Wow.. the last few days have literally been the definition of up and down. After two days of travelling and many air miles I played in Brooklyn Friday night in the middle of a tropical storm.. had such an amazing time at Subverse - until after the show - a cab driver took off with my bag before I had got into the cab. Still not sure if this was intentional (whether he knew my bag was in there) - but it was a white Lincoln Towncar, a legit cab.. Inside the bag was my laptop (2011 Macbook Pro, covered in stickers) - full of
