Paul Oakenfold has recently released his monthly no holds barred trance mix called Full On Fluoro. These mixes always turn out to be one of my favourites, so take the time and enjoy this 2 hour mix from the legend himself:
A new rule was established in Canada that quietly came to effect on July 31st which "will double, triple or even quadruple the cost of bringing in
international artists" for each show they play at a Canadian venue such as a bar or club.
The new fee, as the Calgary Herald explained, is:
"an application fee of $275 per musician and those travelling with the band (tour manager, sound person, guitar tech, etc.) when it applies for a Labour Market Opinion, or LMO, to allow those outside workers to perform and work in their establishment. That’s also in addition to an extra $150 for each approved musician and crew member’s work permit."
In response to this new rule, a petition was created on change.org a few days ago that has already generated 84,346 supporters in opposition to these new fees:
"This huge increase in cost hurts small artists and businesses because it has exemptions for big festivals and artists who have longer tours, but not the average up and coming artist just trying to build a fan base."

The new stage looks impressive:
Krewella will be stopping in 6 Canadian cities this Fall including on Friday, October 25th in Ottawa. For more information on the rest of the tour dates, click here.
Deadmau5 described the situation in a very amusing way on his TUMBLR blog.
As reported by TMZ:
"Paris Hilton's first major stint as an international club DJ was a huge success -- in fact, the legendary nightclub where Paris spent the past couple of months has already signed P for 2014...We spoke to the owner of the club who admits he was "nervous" when he first signed Hilton earlier this year -- but his fears were alleviated quickly when she stepped in to the booth ... and the crowds went insane. "The number of people attending kept on growing and the positive word of mouth in Ibiza was just phenomenal," the owner tells us.
Kaskade said it best:
Saw the news that Paris Hilton got her 1st dj residency in Ibiza. So much for the argument that Las Vegas is selling out “EDM”.
