Calvin Harris Teases New Single “Summer”
If you were wondering where Mr. Harris has been these past few months, then get excited because his Instagram account has confirmed that the Forbes “30 under 30″ list member isn’t going anywhere. The superstar DJ has graced us with two short, 15-second previews of his new track, “Summer.” The new track gives off those feel-good vibes that his fans love and shakes up the happiness in a festival crowd, similar to his recent remix of “When You Were Young” by The Killers and his #1 hit “Under Control” with Alesso and Hurts. Check out the previews via Instagram below.

Disney Does EDM?
Disney Does EDM?
It’s probably safe to say that anyone born in the last 70 years will have childhood memories of Disney films. From cinema showings of Dumbo in 1941, to Up on Blu Ray in 2011, the magic of Walt Disney is an almost ubiquitous part of childhood. But what on earth, you must all be asking, does this have to do with dance music? Well, Walt Disney Records have announced that they’ll be releasing an album of classic Disney songs–reworked by some of the biggest EDM producers on the planet.
Dconstructed will feature some of your Disney favorites reworked by the likes of Armin van Buuren, Avicii, BT, Mat Zo, Kaskade, and many others. So far there is just a short teaser video available, but various artists associated with the project have already started hyping up their involvement, with Mat Zo revealing he has provided a drum & bass version of Elton John’s Circle Of Life as featured in The Lion King.
While no further tracklist details are available as yet, the physical album is available to pre-order now via Amazon, though digital versions are bound to follow in time for the official release on April 22.

Beyonce’ – Crazy In Love (Club Killers Twerk Remix) *Preview*
Afrojack Wants To Make EDM ‘Jay Z Big’
Afrojack Wants To Make EDM ‘Jay Z Big’
Bad news bros: Afrojack’s debut album is going to have “almost no drops”. When asked by mixmag about his new album, the Dutch DJ said:
“It’s like upside down world, it’s completely crazy. My whole album has almost no drops. The album is not meant to be put on at a festival to jump to for 70 minutes. My album is meant, as most musical albums are meant, to listen to and enjoy. I want it to be an experience.”
He continued: “To me a good album is like a good movie. I hope my album will be at least as good as the trailer for [the movie] Inception. It has the build-ups and it has a lot of musical stuff, it’s like a journey, you go a little bit through different kinds of genres.”
While we may all feel like this guy did when he found out that Eric Prydz was never going to drop the bass, but there is a chance to rejoice. Afrojack, now 26, said that he wants to take EDM to a Jay Z level by the time he’s 30. He also mentioned that he would be remixing the album for festivals. From the man himself,
“I just hope I get my shit together before I’m 30…big shit. I already do a lot of balling things but before I’m 30 I want to take EDM to a Jay Z level… like ‘EDM’s so hard motherf*ckers wanna find me!”
While this is startling news to some, it’s reason to rejoice for others. Afrojack is one of the premiere DJs in the world, and for him to announce that he’s going to be breaking away from the mold of the drop is monumental news in trying to disrupt the monotony of sound we have in the scene today. Lately we’ve seen Afrojack partnering up with Avicii and David Guetta, and just today he posted a remix of a 30 Seconds to Mars song ‘Do Or Die’.
Lately there have been numerous artists who have been discussing ‘breaking the mold’ that has fallen over EDM and it seems that Afrojack will be joining the rank of Porter Robinson and Hardwell in doing so. Move aside all the moans and groans and embrace 2014 as a new year for EDM, hopefully

Avicii’s $15-million Hollywood Hills Home Is Pretty Ridic
Avicii’s $15-million Hollywood Hills Home Is Pretty Ridic
While you may be able to snatch up Deadmau5′s childhood home in Niagara Falls, Ontario, it’s a bit less likely that you can afford Avicii’s new Hollywood abode (not that it’s on the market, or anything). Currently making the rounds is a listing for Avicii’s 7000-square-foot home in real-estate publication The Pinnacle List. The $15 million house in the Bird Streets, just above the Sunset Strip, boasts six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a ridiculous view of Los Angeles, and presumably plenty more (just from the pics, we’ve spotted a Chuck Close artwork and what looks like a Juliette Binoche triptych on the walls). Check out some pics of Avicii’s digs below, and see the whole listing (and address, for the stalkers among you) here.

Bass Kleph punches out a version of “Blurred Lines” on his Maschine
Bass Kleph punches out a version of “Blurred Lines” on his Maschine
Fans of Pharrell Williams know that he wasn’t just on one huge hit last summer, but two: Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky” and Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines,” the latter of which was a half-pervy, half-downhomey, soulful strut through Marvin Gaye territory with one helluva NSFW video. Its minimalist song structure and instrumentation, though, really lent itself nicely to being chopped up and sampled. So, Bass Kleph did just that, plugging those samples into his trusty Native Instruments Maschine and knocking out a rather cool live remix, which he’s dubbed “Blurred Lapdance,” presumably a reference to that whole Robin Thicke/Miley Cyrus VMA bit. Check it out below.
