In a time where putting together an album has become something of a trend within Dance music, Dirty South is the next artist to bat for the full-length format. Following yesterday’s album listening party, the Australian producer took to Twitter to confirm the release date of his debut studio album, ”Speed Of Life”, for March 5th, a mere week before UMF Miami kicks off it’s 2013 edition.
While little is still known about the album and with a public preview yet to surface, the general response from the select few that was treated to the full thing at Los Angeles’ The Village Recording Studios last night suggests that ”Speed Of Life” will go down as a successful landmark for the Phazing head honcho.
”Speed Of Life” will be released March 5th exclusively via iTunes and will precede an EP release from Ruben Haze – his side-project with renowned singer/songwriter Rudy Sandapa.
Update (14/2): An album trailer has been released along with the tracklisting.
Tracklisting:
1. Gods (feat. Ruben Haze)
2. Super Sounds
3. Until The End (feat. Joe Gil)
4. Champions

The Recording Academy announced the nominations for the 81 categories at the 2013 Grammy Awards on prime-time TV last night, with three categories solely dedicated to the best and brightest in dance music over the past year.
Having won three out of the five categories he was nominated for at the 54th Annual Grammy Awards earlier this year, the 2013 Grammys sees Skrillex take the lead once again with three nominations, followed by Calvin Harris and Axwell at two respectively.
Dominating with 16 out of the 17 nominations, Sweden, North America, Australia and the UK are well represented throughout the dance categories. Deadmau5’s ”album title goes here” goes up against Kaskade, Steve Aoki, The Chemical Brothers and Skrillex for Best Dance/Electronica Album, Diplo gets a well-deserved nomination for Non-Classical Producer Of The Year and four world renowned acts compete for the title of Best Dance Recording alongside a questionable fifth nomination in Liechtenstein’s Al Walser. Capping things off, the nominations for Best Non-Classical Remixed Recording put Sweden and Australia in the spotlight, courtesy of ‘In My Mind’, ‘The Veldt’ and ‘Midnight City’.

For some it’s the end of a defining era. For others a relieving sway back to the way things were. Whatever the stance, no Dance music fan will play down the impending final shows of Swedish House Mafia’s One Last Tour at Ultra Music Festival on March 15th and March 24th 2013, ending their journey where it all started not that long ago.
Signing off with a final global romp for their now universal fan base, the trio’s emotional finale will look to encompass the energy collected at such live highlights as Miami Music Week, Madison Square Garden and Milton Keynes Bowl alike whilst closing a definitive chapter in the careers of Steve Angello, Axwell and Sebastian Ingrosso. Now set to pursue the solo careers that first sent them spiraling towards outright stardom, their return to where it all started, at UMF Miami, promises to be an energetic spectacle to those who have raved, loved and adored one of Europe’s most sensational club assets in the history of Electronic music.
Swedish House Mafia will play Ultra Music Festival in Miami on March 15th and March 24th 2013.

Always controversial and frequently disputed among global club land, the DJ Mag Top 100 grounds has quickly transformed from a heartfelt charting to a popularity competition between mainstream industry assets. More accustomed to mirroring trends than celebrating bonafide talent, the emission of such technically advanced DJs as James Zabiela and A-Trak from this years top 100 list has added further speculation to the widely shared opinion that the integrity of the annual calendar mark continues to decrease and is now almost solely based on releases rather than DJ performances. But whatever the perspective, DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs poll remains as interesting as ever as it now ups the ante for the results of 2012’s poll.
Highest new entry: Nicky Romero (#17)
Biggest climber: Porter Robinson (up 56)
Update (20/10): You can now watch Armin Van Buuren’s two hour performance at the DJ Mag Awards party.
