We can expect a lot of new tracks from the Swedish superstar DJ Avicii. According to his Facebookpage, he is planning to play a lot of tracks from his new album on the mainstage of the most hyped event at the moment, Ultra Music Festival. Last year, Avicii surprised everyone when Madonna announced him on Ultra’s mainstage. This year, he will try to create the same amount of buzz, or even more! His set will start at 9.00 pm, so make sure you’re watching!

This is what Avicii said on Facebook: “Premiering my new album on ULTRA MAINSTAGE tomorrow. My set starts at 9:00 pm sharp. We’re about to change this performance game yet again – cc Ultra Music Festival / At Night Management.”

A lot of great dance music has been produced over the years. To ensure that these tracks will never be forgotten, we will post a once-thriving track every Thursday! We feel it’s a necessary refreshment of the past that will be sure to bring back memories. Hopefully it will give you the same awesome feelings that it had once given us. This week we have chosen: Man With The Red Face by Mark Knight & Funkagenda!

Man With The Red Face has been an all time classic for me. It doesn’t matter where or when I play it, this track never gets boring to me. There is so much going on in this track. I think that is why they needed over 10 minutes for this track. The housey stabs combined with a techy beat keeps you moving and the saxophone in this track added a kind of epicness in the track, which I miss very much nowadays. It’s not a prime-time club banger, but this track has been played out a lot on the biggest festivals and in the biggest clubs. When this track finds its way out of the speakers, I always get this amazing feeling of joy and happiness and belonging. Especially when you are on a big festival with your best friends.

The version of Mark Knight & Funkagenda is a remake of the original ‘Man With The Red Face’ by Laurent Garnier. When I heard the track from Mark Knight & Funkagenda for the first time, I didn’t heard the original track from Laurent Garnier yet. I looked it up on Youtube and found an amazing video of a Live performance by Laurent Garnier, playing Man With The Red Face. That is why i decided to add this video to the post as well. Enjoy!

It’s finally here, TomorrowWorld, and it will be held here: Chattahoochee Hills, USA

TomorrowWorld takes place at Chattahoochee Hills in Fairburn, GA. This 8,000-acre paradise is filled with well-established rolling pastures, lakes, and woodlands that run 12 miles along the Chattahoochee River. The property is only 15 miles west of Atlanta’s Hartsfield Airport.

After perviously turning down a 100 milljoen dollar offer, now the decision has been made to sell one of the biggest en prosperous international event companies in the world. Today was announced that SFX is going to buy  three-quarters of the shares of ID&T for $130 million dollars. This is about 100 million Euros.

ID&T is known for events like Sensation and Mysteryland. The company was founded in 1992 and operates in 22 different countries in Europe, Asia, Australia, South America and North America.

” The creative heart, where parties and festivals are conceived and designed, remains entirely in Dutch hands. It remains under the name M-Design based in Amsterdam”, as emphasized the company. Also, the name ID&T remains the same. In 2012, the company turned a bid of 100 million dollars down.

The acquisitions of ID&T has many advantages according to Ducan Stutterhem, the director of ID&T. With ID&T being a part of SFX they can be more flexible to respond to new developments, they can attract bigger investments and have more people avalible in terms of organization and staff.

ID&T turned down an American offer to take over the Dutch dance company for 100 million dollar. Boss Duncan Stutterheim started out in a courier company and ended up as founder of Holland’s omnipresent dance brand. He could have retired prematurely, had he accepted an offer from an American billionaire this summer. But for a hundred million bucks? No sir. ‘We have been going strong for twenty years and I feel we could easily go for twenty more.’
