Dance music is like a drug. I can’t seem to get enough of it. I am always jamming to some form of this stuff. Whether listening to drums and bass or relaxing to chill out, my headphones are always being pumped with something new. When I first heard the single Empire I didn’t think anything of it. Just another great track that I would dance the night away to. But when I found out that I... 

While in New York City for Electric Zoo I had the chance to see ATB perform for the first time. I had heard good things about him both as a DJ and as a producer. I even knew all the words to most of his hit songs. He was performing on main stage, and I was ready to see him spin. When he came up to the decks, I had no idea what to expect.

My passion for dance music just doesn’t seem to be slowing down and in an effort to meet as many acts as I can while I write for this blog, I have come across a talent that I demand you listen to. I have been working with Made Event over the last few months helping spread the word about Electric Zoo. The event might not start until September 4th, but that...

Formed in 1999 at a Mennonite college that had banned...
