Well well! There have been exciting / interesting / heart stopping times in dance music lately!

Like Mike and Dimitri Vegas have sought redemption for their DJ Mag Top 100 vote polling. Their salvation? Vinyl only sets. The next scheduled for Tomorrowland. The proof is in the mixing.

Juggernauts Deadmau5 and Eric Prydz have a “vs.” stage at this year’s Tomorrowland. Damn. One to watch.

Zedd has done a cover of “Candy Man” for M&Ms celebrating the brand’s 75th anniversary. Such a sweet and suitable collaboration!

Speaking of those with a taste for, ahem, sugar – Avicii’s metamorphosis from human artist into organisation appears complete. The brand has been named the 6th fastest growing business in Europe

The big news is Paul van Dyk’s unfortunate fall off the stage at this weekend’s “A State of Trance” festival in Utrecht. One of the godfathers of modern day electronic music, the dance music world has been rocked by the news. I do so hope Paul has a speedy recovery!
