To celebrate reaching 200,000 fans, 3LAU, the 22 year old DJ/producer has created a new big room mashup gem that combines "Take Me Home" by Cash Cash and melds it with "Escape" by Flatdisk, Kill FM, and Charity Strike. You know it's good when the mashup sounds like a true original, check it out:
The Bromance label head from France teamed up with Houston's Beat King for a down and dirty track called "5 Years", and it's available for free download, enjoy:

This week I had the chance to engage with the Finnish trance duo Super8 & Tab in an amazing interview that I hope all of you will read when it's released tomorrow. In part 3 of this on-going mini-series preview of this soon to be published interview, Super8 & Tab (Miika: Super8 and Janne: Tab) answered my question on what trance fans in Calgary and Vancouver can expect from their live set this week:
EDM Canada: You're returning to Vancouver and Calgary this week, what do you have planned for the Canadian Trancefamily?
Janne: You'll get to hear a lot of unreleased tracks that we're currently testing right now. We played in Vancouver a year ago and it was really really really good.
Miika: Can't wait to be back!
Janne: But with Calgary I think it was 2 years ago the last time we played and we haven't played at Marquee before so we are super excited to be back in Calgary.
Miika: We're happy to be back in Canada and excited to try Vancouver sushi. (laughs)
Get ready for part 4 where I asked them what they thought of the term "trance 2.0" and whether the term is valid today.
Super8 & Tab will be stopping in Calgary tomorrow night at Marquee, and on Friday in Vancouver at Celebrities.
The ticket giveaway is nearing its conclusion as I have already awarded tickets for tomorrow's show in Calgary, but you still have a chance to enter the Vancouver contest for free tickets! Click here to find out how.
This week I had the chance to engage with the Finnish trance duo Super8 & Tab in an amazing interview that I hope all of you will read when it's released this Thursday. In part 2 of this on-going mini-series preview this soon to be published interview, Super8 & Tab (Miika: Super8 and Janne: Tab) answered my question on whether or not there has been a shift away from trance music over at Anjunabeats, a label created by trance giants Above & Beyond:
EDM Canada: You guys have had a long history with Anjunabeats, but recently there seems to be a shift happening away from trance from that label created by Above & Beyond, are you guys noticing that as well or am I off the mark?
Janne: I think it's been since day 1 of Anjunabeats that their sound has been changing. If you look at their history over the past 10+ years, there's always some progress going on inside that label.
Miika: A few years back the entire trance scene changed quite a lot.
Janne: They're not releasing 138 bpm tracks anymore. But I think they are still trance in some ways, so I think they still consider themselves as a trance label even though they are releasing under the Anjunadeep sound which is more house.
Miika: .. And hip hop. (laughs)
You're referring to a couple of tracks released under Mat Zo's new album?
Miika: Yeah yeah. But it's okay because Mat Zo is from a Drum N Bass background actually.
Janne: That's his background.
Miika: So why not? But I couldn't see us doing a hip hop track but you never know.
Get ready for part 3 where I asked them on what they thought of the term "trance 2.0" and whether the term is valid today.
Super8 & Tab will be stopping in Calgary this Thursday at Marquee, and on Friday in Vancouver at Celebrities.
