Kuffdam presents City Lights on Borderline Music
Kuffdam presents City Lights on Borderline Music
Kuffdam is a name synonymous with quality trance music and his releases on Vandit along with Plant as well as his solo outings on the label show that in force.
His recent album released on the now defunct Hyline label continues this pedigree and when Hyline ceased trading, we snapped up at Borderline to keep Kuffdam’s music alive and well.
The album is full of quality trance music from the mixture of prog/psy and uplifting trance on A Lucid Dream, right through to the full on techy in-your-face feel to Kracatoa taking in more uplifting styles on its way.
Included in the album are all the original mixes by Kuffdam himself with a single release of the lead track City Lights with remixes from Mac & Monday pres. Senua and Relaunch also available.

Made Event presents
DASH BERLIN
Governors Beach Club
Governors Island, NYC
Made Event is proud to announce DJ Mag Top 10 artist Dash Berlin at Governors Beach Club on Governors Island, NYC, Saturday, June 30, 2012.
Dash Berlin is the creator of the “Dash Berlin Sound” — an ambitious and unprecedented new sound of trance that is futuristic and scintillating, moving and emotive. It caught the ear of none other than Armin van Buuren in 2007, who featured Dash Berlin’s debut track “Till The Sky Falls down” on his legendary ‘Universal Religion’ album. In 2009, Dash Berlin released his critically acclaimed debut album, ‘The New Daylight,’ which features instant classics such as “Till The Sky Falls Down,” “Man On The Run,” “Waiting” and “Never Cry Again.” And last month saw the release of his second artist album, ‘#musicislife,’ featuring “Better Half of Me” (feat. Jonathan Mendelsohn), which earned a 2012 International Dance Music Award nomination for Best Trance Track. From the hottest nightclubs to the biggest festivals, this ‘Flying Dutchman’ connects with his audiences in a magical way that has spawned a worldwide following and earned him the #8 spot in DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs poll. Now he comes to Governors Island to keep revelers dancing all day in the summer sun. After all, the message of Dash Berlin is simple: “It’s all about having a good time again,” he says. “The art of celebrating life resonates inside of everyone.” Read more

BT RELEASES LAPTOP SYMPHONY (BLACK HOLE RECORDINGS) COMPILATION MAY 14TH
GRAMMY® nominated electronic musician, technologist and composer BT unveils his two-disc LAPTOP SYMPHONY (Black Hole Recordings) mix compilation on May 14th (digital) and June 11th (physical), 2012, globally. A face-melting, mind-altering collection of pristinely mixed tracks evocative of BT’s live shows of the same name, LAPTOP SYMPHONY is a must-have release for discerning EDM (electronic dance music) lovers. Disc-one is a snarling, growling assemblage of the nastiest, most sonically vicious dubstep, electro and breakbeats; disc-two is a victorious team of trance hits reimagined for today’s world-weary festival-goer.
Disc-one kicks-off with BT & Adam K’s “Tomahawk,” a blistering tune that’s been demonizing dubstep and electro-friendly shows across North America and Europe, before mainlining into Savoy’s “Kili” and then Wolfgang Gartner’s “Menage A Trois,” the latter a brutally syncopated aural assault. BT demonstrates that American bass music is alive-and-well, and that there’s an entire universe of exquisite electro-dubstep beyond Skrillex; annihilating pieces like Xilent’s “Choose Me II” and Porter Robinson & Lazy Rich ft Sue Cho’s “Hello” are perfect examples. Track after scorching track on disc-one, BT lays forth his master plan for moving bodies with heavy bass and obese beats not meant for the weak-of-heart. The filthy production and hypnotic staccato stabs of DJ Spoko & Mugwanti’s “Mugwanti” linger in the air long after they’re heard, and just before the breaks-laden ecstasy becomes unbearable, BT transitions to disc-two with the angelic vocals of JES on Cosmic Gate’s “Flying Blind.” Read more

German producer/DJ extraordinaire ROGER SHAH teams up with returning hit vocalist INGER HANSEN for this summer’s next installment of their successful collaboration series. Off ROGER SHAH’s new artist album ‘Openminded!?’, and with ‘Breaking Waves’ and ‘Don’t Wake Me Up’ already under their belts, the duo have racked up over 15 million cumulative hits on YouTube.

In collaboration with artist agency, Talenthouse, Roger Shah hosted a “creative invite” for the international artist community to remix the original song. After a fierce competition, three finalists were each selected as winners and are featured with this release; including the sun-drenched Vinny remix, the housy Szilard Szargo remix and the deep and infectious Markus Engel remix.
