Is Deep Dish reuniting for a special set at the Ultra Music Festival in Miami?

Deep Dish, a former supergroup composed of Dubfire and Sharam, are likely to make a comeback sometime this year. The group was disbanded in 2006, which has led to successful individual careers for each artist. But today on deepdish.com, a mysterious countdown appeared which according to inthemix, counts down perfectly to March 28th, which just happens to be the first day of the Ultra Music Festival in Miami. This news should create a buzz among the old time fans and the current underground as the possibility of the return of one of the most iconic duo's in electronic dance music history is exciting. There remains a lot of questions though: will their appearance at UMF be a one time show or are they reuniting for good? Will Deep Dish take this reunion back to the studio and make some music? We'll have to wait and see.

Savoy releases a new album for free and you need to download it ASAP

/

Savoy has definitely gone above and beyond with the release of their album titled "Self Predator", a 15 track masterwork that takes you on a musical journey from track one to the last. You should give it at least one full listen as it was laid out by Savoy because "Self Predator" has been carefully crafted to start off on a lighter note with the intro and "Mind Over Matter". Then it goes up a notch or two with "Bizzy" and onwards until it lets you glide back to earth starting with "Prey for New York", and finally "Nothing Stays The Same".

Hardwell: "I’m fine with ghost producing in general..."

/

In a recent interview with inthemix, Hardwell discussed his own view on the secretive world of ghost producing:

"Well I’m fine with ghost producing in general, but if you’re not producing your own tracks, be honest, say ‘I’m a good DJ but I can’t produce my own songs, I got help’. I think that’s fair. Just don’t pretend you’re this big producer, because obviously you can hear it, every track sounds totally different, like differently mastered. Everybody knows in the scene who works with ghost producers as well, because nobody noticed that I have a Top 10 Beatport hit with a track not under my name that I ghost produced, but nobody’s noticed it."

Interesting take, do you agree? If DJs were more honest about getting help on their tracks, I think that'd go a long way to clear the air on the whole ghost producing issue that's going on within the EDM world.
