After barely surviving a week at the LA GDD penthouse, I had to get back to work and curate a mix for my Friday night residency at Arkadia in Miami. Arkadia is quickly becoming one of the premier house music venues in Miami, and I’m stoked to be on board. Tonight I’ll be warming up for EDX, along with a special guest from the West Coast who has been known to start some riots. For more info about upcoming events or ticket sales, click HERE.

About a month ago, I was driving home from lunch and received a call from the music director at the Fontainebleau in Miami beach. He told me that he just confirmed Deadmau5 on the first day of 2012, and that I would be opening. As you can expect, I almost crashed my car. Now, less than a week to go before the gargantuan show and I’m frothing to see the event unfold. I’ll be warming up the party alongside Stephan Luke and Damaged Goods. It kicks off at 7pm poolside and pumps until 11pm, at which point everyone will head over to the after-party inside Arkadia. Tickets for the show are available here.

Good morning, I hope you had a great weekend! There isn’t much going on this morning with the holidays, however, I have some news regarding Swedish House Mafia’s Masquerade Motel, Rusko’s free remix collection, and Afrojack’s Lost & Found Part 2. Read more after the jump.
HEAD TO ULTRA MUSIC FESTIVAL FOR FULL PHASE ONE LINE-UP
While most of the country is scraping ice off their windshields, residents of Miami are closing out 2011 with probably the biggest pool party of the year this Sunday poolside at Arkadia. Skrillex, the dark prince of dubstep, will be headlining alongside the moombahton maestros Nadastrom, Damaged Goods, and myself. It kicks off at 2pm at the Fontainebleau Hotel and goes until 8pm. The party is 21+, and tickets can be purchased here.
TICKET GIVEAWAY: Go to my Facebook page and tell me what you would wear to a Skrillex pool party if you won a free ticket!
*I’ll also be playing at Arkadia tonight for my Friday night residency!
After a crazy weekend that was brought to an abrupt stop, we are back to reality on this first day of the week. The news for today consists of the WMC 2012 dates, a Boys Noize Q & A, an introduction of Hyundai’s REMIX LAB Series, Fred Falke’s debut album, and uncertainty with Coachella 2012. Start your week of strong with some GDD™ Morning Update knowledge and check the full stories after the jump!
After a bit of a hiatus, we get a double dose of Pirate Stereo. His new mixtape ‘Noches de Lobohombo 2′ includes his remix of Inigo Jones ‘Believin Gets Hard’, which is a low-tempo gem that you might find in one of The Magician’s mixtapes. ‘Noches de Lobohombo 2′ has a steady progression from feel-good pool jams to dancefloor heaters, signified by Erol Alkan’s Rework of Metronomy. Both Pirate Stereo and I will be playing at IDentity Festival in Miami this Thursday August 25th. Also, we’re proud to announce that we’ll be doing a show with TEED (Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs) and The Magician at Bardot November 3rd (more details coming soon).

This year during Ultra/Miami Music Week, we had so much fun in all of our experiences each day that it took us this long to gather our thoughts and reviews for what turned out to be one roller coaster of a trip. But needless to say, it was heaven on earth going back and forth from Downtown Miami to South Beach, seeing some of the best and most exclusive lineups that we’ll see all year. We’ll get down to brass tacks with what we did and the best performances we saw, our personal experiences, along with a bunch of nutty photos, videos, and finally some huge new tunes and live mixes from UMF for you kids to salivate over.
