Check out the movie trailer for "We Are Your Friends" starring Zac Efron

/

"We Are Your Friends" is about an aspiring DJ named Cole (Zac Efron), who's trying to beat the odds at becoming a big star within the electronic dance music world. I've previously had my doubts at whether the whole EDM world would translate well onto the big screen but after watching this trailer, I believe this movie as at least a chance of making that happen. The trailer wisely went with the track "You & Me" by Bassnectar, check it out: 

"We Are Your Friends" is set heading to theatres on August 28th, are you going to watch it?

The last time they worked together was for "I Remember", a smash hit that is still high playable today. Check out the new collab preview below:

My favourite mix of the week goes to Giuseppe's "Go On Air" guest mix series featuring Allen & Envy. Filled with energetic trance tracks that range from the harder side to the emotional with a few vocal tracks sprinkled in, this is a proper mix that could be listened to a few times:
