Compared to last year 2011 has been a good year for electronic music, we wouldn’t go as far as saying its been vintage, but its been far from a dud.

The Warehouse Project has been a stable of Manchester’s infamous music scene since 2006 – but it’s not your average clubbing institution. It’s not even a club in the traditional sense. It takes over a warehouse setting for 12 weeks every year with meticulously organised parties from September to January with the world’s top music acts from the length and breadth of the electronic music spectrum.
The Warehouse Project has taken the UK & Manchester clubbing scene by storm over the last 5 years – well it’s the final run of events at the Store Street venue – and to this end the people behind the WHP have created one of the finest line-ups in the world.
Our favourite Italian duo Fare Soldi have just dropped their latest Capri Sonne mix and it’s a decent snap-shot of what you can expect to hear if you catch the duo when they’re DJ’ing during this summer, it’s jam-packed full of fun-loving dance music from disco to funk and everything else in between.
Villa have just dropped their latest mixtape and it features their new remix for Beni, a new remix from Joakim Bouaziz and his excellent remix of Mitzi – apparently, no tracklisting from what we can see.
Global Gathering have got quite a scalp for this year’s event, with the only Eric Prydz EPIC festival UK show, and from what we’ve heard and seen it looks like one the most exciting shows that you’ll probably see all year.
Our man Burns is releasing his first EP of 2011 and it is sounding amazing, a cacphony of in-your-face electro and techno – were glad to see he’s moving his sound on in 2011.
Not a lot we really need to say about this line up only that our friends over at Parklife really have outdone themselves. Bravo. Now roll on 11-12 of June.
Creamfields is the only decent dance music festival left in the UK, Global Gathering is gradually fading into nonexistence leaving Cream and it’s lovely rolling fields to take the limelight – we for one much prefer it – only really because it’s less than 10 miles away from HBF Towers.
First mix from Villa for 2011 – it looks and sounds very good indeed, listen out for their remix of Adele’s ‘Rolling in the deep’ it’s one of our favourites at the moment.
Mighty Mouse are starting the New Year with a brand new Mix series, the aptly named ‘MouseCast’ is the first in what are sure to be an amazing mixes series, especially if last year’s collection are anything to go by – they always feature cool re-edits and will no doubt be showing off material from the new album in due course.
Just a quick post to say Happy New Year, and to give you lot a lovely mix from new Belgium producer Mickey, who just so happens to be managed by the same guy who looks after fellow Belgium disco cohorts Aeroplane and Villa – so the signs are looking very good.

Disney have just popped over the first picture of Daft Punk’s suits for their cameo appearance in Disney’s Tron Legacy – and we can’t help but think they’ve got it spot-on, now roll on the soundtrack, the film and hopefully the live tour. “They wanted to maintain their image, as they should, but they were [...]
So, after the news that there was a secret track nestled in the Tron Soundtrack website, Greek producer NTEIBINT (we can’t pronounce it,) sent over a email informing us that the track was a unmastered WAV and he had taken the 19 seconds and made a full track. Sweet. Daft Punk – Derezzed (NTEIBINT edit) [...]
