Hailing from Yorkshire, Hot Since 82 seems to be the perfect deep/tech house idol. His signature bass-driven sound has taken over dance floors all over the world since quite a while now. This time, he takes on tech veteran Green Velvet’s Bigger Than Prince. Transforming this tune into a decent dancefloor tune, the vocals of Bigger Than Prince are a little odd, but nonetheless, Hot Since 82 has done a fabulous job, as always. The remix package will also include a remake from The Martinez Brothers. No word of a release date yet on Circus Recordings but you can listen to the preview below:

Hot Since 82 might seem like a peculiar name for a producer/DJ, but his music is no where close to being peculiar. True to their name, they definitely have been hot since a very long time especially with the release of their LP ‘Little Black Book’ .
Daley Padley, better known as Hot Since 82, released his debut LP on Moda Black/Ultra Music. Being supported by the likes of Seth Troxler, Pete Tong, and Richie Hawtin is nothing short of an achievement, but this man has single handedly gathered a lot of attention from fans and DJs alike. With Little Black Book, he explores his deep house roots providing listeners with an album, mix compilation, and remix package, each compacted into one LP.

If you’ve been following the electronic music scene for the past few years, this collaboration is sure to raise your eyebrows. After smash hits “Legacy” and “Symphonica”, Nicky Romero teams up with Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano who are fresh off of their huge collaboration with Dubvision “Triton” to produce “Sound of the Underground”.
This tack takes both acts to the more tribal and percussive side of big room house without being too clichéd. It brings back memories of Nicky’s breakout remix of Green Velvet’s “Flash” and as well as his previous release of 2013, “Still The Same Man”.
Utilizing the ever-ubiquitous tribal/percussive staccato style of drop, the goal of this track is to be a dance floor rager, and boy does it succeed. Be sure to add this to your playlist right away.
It has now passed and it certainly proved to be one of the craziest days in music festival history. With the magical Day-2, Tomorrowland continued to bring an experience you can only imagine, to life. This possibly may be what the inspiration was behind ID&T’s festival campsite “Dreamville,” because Tomorrowland definitely is the festival which every dance music fan dreams of. In Axwell’s own words during his set, the festival is “the Olympics of dance music”.
The second day of Tomorrowland 2013 hosted a number of special stages, featuring some of the best dance music artists. The butterfly themed stage had transformed itself from the previous day into Laidback Luke’s adobe, the Super You&Me stage. There was the Cocoon heroes stage, a Full On Ferry stage for trance fanatics, a special V-Sessions stage, the Q-Dance stage still going strong, and of course the stunning volcano inspired ‘Main Stage’.
With Tomorrowland set to kick off its ninth chapter in just a few hours we decided to give you a complete round up of the history of the festival, since its humble beginnings to being the roaring success it is today!
Tomorrowland is an outdoor dance music event organized by the Dutch company ID&T. On the basis of a fairytale inspired design creating a unique, fascinating and magical experience, the event takes place annually in the summer at De Schorre National Park, Boom, Belgium.
Vibrant, dynamic and highly charged, the festival has been described as “a trippy technicolour fantasy”, and has accelerated itself to be the helm of electronic festivals in Europe. With 20 stages, fairground rides, an idyllic lakeside setting, and some the most breathtaking stage and ingenious stage decorations ever envisioned, Tomorrowland has definitely become one of the most highly anticipated events in Europe each year.
Ever since its inception in 2005, the meteoric growth of Tomorrowland has had every true dance music fan in the world caught in awe. In a period of 8 years, what began as a small, one day festival in the town of Boom, Belgium has quickly become the largest dance music event on the face of the planet.
For 2013, the festival has grown to over 180,000 visitors from an immense variety of countries from across the globe.
Hit past the break and take a look at the Tomorrowland experience and its development over the last eight years before this years madness begins, from then to now!
