Last Thursday Markus Schulz played a 2 hour snippet of his epic 9 hour solo set from the Guvernment in Toronto on his Global DJ Broadcast radio show. If you want to get a sense of the energy, enthusiasm, and love the crowd had for Markus and vice versa, listen to it now:
UK producer Flux Pavilion has recently declared over Facebook that he's quitting social media over a vine that wasn't well received:
"...I was showing a friend a vine that i had created and out of the corner of my eye I saw the top comment 'Your Vines Suck' . . . and i thought "yeah, i guess it does . . . but i never intended for it to not suck" it was just a funny thing that i thought of bored in a backstage cabin in the middle of Finland. It made me think about what makes me who i am, and that has always been my music. My music is what defines me and that's all I want 'Flux Pavilion' to be. I was once told 'you are only ever as good as your last song', which in itself is quite a damning statement, but i think there is a truth in the fact that my output as a musician is how i choose to present myself, i want to dedicate my mental space to making sure that my music is the best that it can be. 'You are only as good as your last vine' is an echo'ing thought of a world that i dont want to live in..."

I like the reasoning given and I wish Flux Pavilion all the best. As a fan, I hope this drives him to create even more music for all of us to enjoy.
Got word over the weekend that @Skrillex @EssentialMix was the single most played piece of content in @BBC_Radio_1 history across all media
