Nicky Romero is back at it with another episode of Protocol Radio, a weekly radio show featuring the best in big room goodness. A few weeks ago EDM Canada had reported about the fireworks incident in Columbia, and Nicky explained what happened from his perspective at the beginning of the show, so make sure to check it out:
The tracklisting is live within the video which makes life easier for all of us.

Zeds Dead recently gave a lot of love to Toronto's hip-hop/electronic producer Memorecks for his latest "Trouble" EP on Facebook today. They used the title track on the recent Zeds Dead Essential Mix for BBC and once you listen to "Trouble", you'll quickly see why:
Trouble is finally out, alongside my remix of Jenna's "Eighteen". These tracks started as rough ideas in the lab, and took off with the help of talented vocalist, Jenna Pemkowski. Check out the remixes from Riggadale, Free n Losh and Hugh Hardie.
I'm very happy to have Memorecks on my radar, thanks Zeds Dead.

Credit goes to DJ Tech Tools for finding out that Daft Punk's elaborate DJ booth set up at the Grammys performance last night wasn't just stagecraft. The equipment used was very real, as explained by DJ Tech Tools:
"Look closely at the knob layout – Daft Punk is up to their old tricks, building in what appear to be 14 Behringer BCR-2000s (a nearly 8-year-old product now) into their set."
This is pretty fantastic if you ask me. But why build such a massive undertaking for just one performance? The rumours of an impending Daft Punk tour are rife on the Internet and after seeing this custom DJ set up one can only surmise that it would make a lot of sense if Daft Punk took this rig on tour. We'll have to just wait and see.
