Bal en Blanc adds Fatboy Slim and Andrew Rayel to the official lineup

/

The 20th edition of Bal en Blanc, the annual all-night white party in Montreal that takes place on Sunday, April 20th at the Palais Des Congres is heating up with 2 big names added to the already stellar lineup. The legendary Fatboy Slim will be joining the Arena 1 stage while rising trance star Andrew Rayel will be at the Arena 3 stage. These two DJs will be joining an already stacked lineup consisting of Hardwell, a special Carl Cox and Friends stage, and New World Punx. The full lineup is yet to be released so expect even more goodness to come from one of the most highly anticipated events all year. 

If you forgot how amazing Fatboy Slim live is, you only need to watch his performance at last year's Ultra Music Festival to understand his greatness behind the decks, watch:

Preview: Mercer & DJ Snake - "Lunatic"

/

These two French artists have joined forces to create a big room(ish) track for the ever popular Spinnin' Records. The track starts off easily enough into the typical build-up to drop type of stuff but then flips the switch when the track suddenly slows down into an almost trap like feel that I really enjoyed, give it a listen: 

"Lunatic" will be available on March 7th.
