Crookers is the latest among a long line of DJs that have created the 5 minute minimix for BBC 1. Producers usually try to make clever edits and mashups that try to express what kind of artist they are within such a limited amount of time. The minimix certainly helped to launch Madeon's career as he was just getting started, and now Crookers has a chance to show off his skills, enjoy:
Deadmau5 granted a video interview with CBC during the Veld Music Festival in Toronto and it was an interesting back and forth as Joel spoke frankly about a wide variety of topics including the current state of EDM. Check it out:

Madeon recently sat down with British GQ for an extensive interview and revealed that his favourite gig so far was at the Osheaga Festival in Montreal:
"My favourite was at the Osheaga Festival... It was just a really good vibe, and at one point there was a power cut: no light, no sound. My challenge was to keep the audience there. So I started typing messages on my laptop and trying to interact. At one point I was seconds away from starting a tap dance show or something. When the power came back, the roar from the audience was so satisfying and exciting. I knew it was coming so I had loaded a big track. It was starting a new set with a 15-minute build-up."

I was wondering when I was going to hear a top notch remix from one of The M Machine's original productions and thankfully Kill The Noise delivered in spades with his take on "Ghosts In The Machine":

Plenty of "house music, techno, and garage" to be enjoyed by Disclosure's very first, and certainly not the last, BBC 1 Radio Essential Mix - enjoy:
