ULTRA MUSIC FESTIVAL 2014

So now that Ultra is done, there are few sets that you guys have to check out. Overall this weekend was amazing, even if you were streaming online. All three days were amazing. DJs dropped new songs that they are gonna release this year, and some dope remixes and collabs. Even a little rain could not stop Above & Beyond, Armin van Buuren, and Deadmau5 from killing there sets on the second day. Afrojack dropped a new song with Snoop Dogg, that is more trap than his regular electro songs. The future of EDM, Martin Garrix, absolutely destroyed his set. It is a good sign of where the industry is going in the future. Diplo and Skrillex did a set together which was amazing. They combined a bit of trap, moombahton and obliviously dubstep. To end the weekend off, Hardwell, the number 1 dj, broke Ultra record with over 250,000 people tuning into his live stream. This year, trap was the new genre everyone is getting into, with loads of djs, dropping some trap breakdowns in their sets. The line-ups were superb, with so many headliner djs.    

There is a YouTube channel that has uploaded some sets and you can check it out here.

ULTRA MIAMI 2014

ULTRA MIAMI 2014, starts today and you can watch it live on the Ultra Site. Unfortunately, few DJs have already pulled out of Ultra this year. Avicii pulled out due to some illness. It is unclear right now, what the illness might be. Laidback Luke is had to take care of family business. He tweeted on Friday morning, “At Ultra, Gina’s water just broke…heading home now for the birth. Hope you understand.” Afrojack is out cause he partied a little too hard, and fell face first. And last, Stefan Engblom of the Dada Life has been flown home for "urgent abdominal surgery." But Olle Cornee is set to perform at Ultra Miami 2014.

TST vs twoloud - Drop It Like This (Original Mix)

Its here!! After the preview dropped, many djs have supported it and fans are loving it. This is a minimal electro track is different from every top track on Beatport right now. It does not have a huge build up and a crazy drop, and rather it has a nice rhythm. Some people wonder, is this the way the formula will be, leading into summer?
