Is HARD planning an all-female music festival for 2014?

/

As reported by Gigwise:  

 "...Now Richards believes the next step is an event consisting solely of female performers, revealing: "I have a concept for a show that's all girl performers...It's not a 70,000 person event. But I do see more females coming up and...I'm definitely going to do it in 2014."

Music is music, and in my view it has no gender or race attached to it. 

Nicole Moudaber, one of the leading female techno DJ/Producers in the world has been quick to offer her 2 cents on the idea:

Tiesto talked to DJ Mag about his decision in 2007-8 to leave trance

/

Found this question and answer to be very interesting:  

When you left trance in 2007-8, if you hadn’t done that would you have still been so big in the US?
“Maybe, it’s hard to say. I think I’d still be the ‘Tiesto trance guy’ but the difference is you’re not really being rewarded. Some of the old trance guys still have their following but it doesn’t feel like anybody really cares — and that’s the biggest difference. It’s nice to be in touch with the new kids who are coming up — 16-, 18-year-olds who are producing house music see me as kind of a godfather, and it’s really cool to be in touch with them. I think if I’d still been a trance DJ, I’d have been so disconnected with that sound that I wouldn’t be much inspiration for them, and vice versa.”

Check out this weird and strange clip from the Youtube awards that involves an Avicii cameo

/

What happens when you combine the directors mind of Spike Jones, the avant garde brain of Jason Schwartzman with Avicii's latest tracks and Youtube money? Well you get this strange faux mini-movie that has an alcohol crazed alpha-bro posing as Avicii while an insane plot scene evolves that defies common sense. The clip is a few days old but if you haven't watched it yet, take heed and brace yourself for this crazy ride: 

FYI - The real Tim Bergling AKA Avicii makes a brief cameo experience at the 2:20 mark.
