Produktworld releases phase 1 lineup over labour day weekend in Montreal

/

Labour day weekend parties continue to shape up as Produktworld's 3-day event at Montreal's New City Gas phase 1 lineup is revealed. On Friday, August 30th, Woflgang Gartner has been announced as the main draw while Cazzette and trance giants Aly & Fila are set to play for Saturday. On Sunday, September 1st, DJ'ing virtuoso Laidback Luke will be the main headliner. I fully expect that there be many more DJ's added to the lineups as time rolls on, stay tuned.

Rob Swire of Knife Party to take 6 months off next year

/

Rob Swire of Knife Party has recently announced on Twitter that he will be taking 6 months off at the beginning of 2014 to concentrate on writing music:

I hope Rob will use that time to create a full Knife Party album which would easily become one of the most anticipated albums of 2014. It's not still clear whether Gareth McGrillen, the other half of Knife Party, will be continuing their live shows but judging from the first tweet, I think we'll have to wait 6 months before we get to see Knife Party live next year.

If you've been paying attention to my main @edm_canada twitter account for the past few weeks, you already know that I'm a big fan of Kanye West's new album YEEZUS. DJ Snake, the talented young producer out of France who busted onto the scene thanks in part to his wildly successful track "Bird Machine", has released an excellent remix of "New Slaves" that's available for free, check it out:

Make sure to keep DJ Snake on your radar by following him on Twitter because he's definitely a talent on his way up.
