Electronic, House | Carnage & Tony Junior – Michael Jordan
Posted by mimada on July 23, 2013
The latest release by Carnage proves that he is mercilessly conquering the festival house game. “Michael Jordan,” a collaboration with Dutch DJ Tony Junior, is already a raging hit that has spread like fire across the board. Even prior to it’s release though, the track was already pretty ubiquitous, packing heat in big name sets such as Martin Solveig, R3hab and Steve Aoki. Now my social media feeds are filled with “Michael Jordans,” a new sort of Harlem Shake where you just gotta get as pumped as possible when the beat drops.
“When we were testing out the track, people jumped like crazy on it, so we thought about someone that could jump really high,” claims Tony Junior, according to Billboard. “Then Carnage said, ‘Let’s call it ‘Michael Jordan!’ And the name was born.”
So there you have it. Now everybody get up, it’s time to slam.
“Michael Jordan” is available for purchase via Beatport

DJ-Set, Events, House | Inox Festival Toulouse Sets
Posted by Middy on May 12, 2012
Starting off the festival season early and right, Inox Festival in Toulouse France brings together some of the best talent in EDM, bringing in fans from not just all over France but also all over Europe such as Spain, Italy, and Romania. It was a three night weekend festival at full capacity all three nights with the likes of Eric Prydz, Hardwell, Dada Life, Laidback Luke, Swanky Tunes and many more gracing the decks. There was something for everyone with techno, house and minimal being very well represented with Sven Vath, Stephan Bodzin and many more. Of the three nights Eric Prydz had to be the best set just because it is so rare to see him as an American, though he will be touring the states this summer on ID Fest, Swanky Tunes putting together an outstanding set from start to finish with brand new tracks, and Dada Life and Sebastien Benett bringing the highest energy sets, forcing me to walk home at 8am covered in vodka and champagne after Dada Life. The whole thing was madness and after the whole festival I felt like I had been hit by an 18 wheeler for about 2 days, but it was worth it with the amazing artists that graced the decks. Sets were recorded on Fun Radio, so the shouts will be in French, but enjoy these crazy sets. Some of the sets below and more of them and the tracklists after the jump. Eric Prydz set was not recorded.
Electro-House | Laidback Luke – 1234 feat. Chuckie and Martin Solveig
Posted by Middy on May 7, 2012
This track from quite the power trio in Chuckie, Laidback Luke & Martin Solveig is pure dance floor madness. The grinding synths, progressive chord progression, pounding bass line, air horns and vocal bit done by the three Djs create the madness contained in this track. This song has been a necessity for a large number of big name Djs like Tiesto, David Guetta, Dada Life etc and with the crowd reaction it is easy to see why this should be a go to energy track this summer. After the jump check out an interview with Laidback Luke about how he made the track and the response to it.
