Before you buy your Swedish House Mafia Tickets at noon today you should read this

/

We are only a few hours away from the kick off of the ticket sales to the Canadian tour dates of Swedish House Mafia's 'One Last Tour'. But before you pick what kind of seating you should get for the show I think you should see this video:

​This is Swedish House Mafia at the iheart radio festival on September 21st, 2012 in Las Vegas. The person shooting this video is easily 100-150 ft back from the stage yet has an almost perfect view of the concert.

Before you buy your tickets you should consider that the 'One Last Tour' stage set up is designed for huge arenas, meaning there will most likely not be a bad seat at the Bell Centre or Rogers Centre. If you get too close to the stage you might get a pixelated view of the light show while not being able to see the Swedish House Mafia because they are hoisted up on an elevated platform.

If I were buying tickets for this event I'd probably try for the middle rows of the 1st level which will probably give me the perfect viewing angle without having to pay premium for floor access. But that's just me.

Montreal, Bell Centre: I'd buy the $83 tickets in the Red B General Admission where I'd get a perfect front view of the stage. ​

Update: Early ticket sales are in: the Amsterdam show sold out but a 2nd show was almost immediately added. Could they be planning the same thing in Toronto and Montreal as well? There is a lot of days in between Feb 23rd and Feb 27th for a possible 2nd show in each city.

Deadmau5 is already making big plans for his next album

/

​Found this from inthemix.com.au:

"Hopefully next time [In reference to the next album], and I know I say this every fu***ng time, that I’ll have this year off touring and put together something that’s like [Pink Floyd’s] The Wall. Something that tells a story and is a big package.” Seeming to instantly register the chance of being taken out of context drawing a parallel with Pink Floyd, he added: “No, don’t even compare me to that please, but you know what I mean…”​

​Sounds ambitious and promising all at the same time. Hopefully he will find the time between his next tour and his apparent LA romance with Kat Von D.

NME's "The 50 Greatest Producers Ever" list

/

Notables include DJ Shadow at #50, and DJ Premier at #24. You can find the full list here.

In ten years time when they make a new top 50 list, what do you think the chances of someone like Diplo making the cut if you assume that the Snoop Lion album is a success?

What about the chances of someone like Calvin Harris making it if he continues to create chart topping collaborations? Or what about, dare I say it, David Guetta's chances? ​

James Zabiela picked this monster track as part of his Beatport Space Ibiza Chart

/

Shed - Day After (Original Mix): ​

​The beat is so thumping and heavy hitting that I could only imagine hearing this with a proper sound system.

Beatport described Zabiela as a DJ that crafts " immense, energetic, and diverse sets that are tailor-made for his audience, and, fittingly, this is a wonderful summary to one of the scene’s best DJs." You can check out his Space Ibiza Chart selection here.

James Zabiela will be coming to Montreal to the Circus Afterhours club on ​October 27th. Tickets are only $20.
