SANDER VAN DOORN: NEVER STOP DROPPING ALBUMS!

[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.' [wp_ad_camp_1] What's the main difference with dance scenes in the USA as opposed to Europe? Name some good/bad points. For a lot of American's EDM is still kind of new. The music g

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

BEATLOUNGE RADIO LAUNCHES ITS NEW LABEL BEATLOUNGE RECORDS

ALBUMS, EDM NEWS, NEW RELEASES, PROGRESSIVE HOUSE, TECH HOUSE

[wp_ad_camp_2] BeatLounge was born from the mind of Alejandra Iorgulescu, Director and Producer of the project. An Argentinean living in Los Angeles for the past decade, who created a website where electronic music would be the sole protagonist, a place where this self-proclaimed geek, graphic designer, former webmaster and all around technology junkie would come to blend all her passions. The idea began to take shape in early 2005. It worked under a different name and Staff and as a weekly podcast for many years. But it was only in 2012, when BeatLounge decided to take the next logical step, a natural mutation in its format. And so in March 2012 the podcast transforms into Radio, offering a unique product where 30+ radioshows with different styles such as Deep, House, Ambient, Trip Ho...
