Fatboy Slim isn't just a veteran of the scene, he is a legend and an icon. So playing in front of thousands of peaople isn't anything new to him. Nevertheless, it is interesting to see how he orchestrates the younger generation who's mainly into EDM. Starting with a 'Harlem Shake' remix may have come off a little awkward for some, but there are many surprises along the way. Mr. Slim doesn't shy away from changing the tempo or genre of the set, playing some latina and reggae flavor to make the journey more versatile for the ravers. Enjoy the full HD broadcast!

The Scottish band leader turned producer, Calvin Harris, has a lot to smile about. And not only because of his latest video where his getting jiggly with Ellie Goulding, but because he's broken a pretty amazing record. The impressive statistic makes him the record-holder in the UK chart, throwing the King Of Pop himself off the throne. Michael Jackson's 'Bad' and 'Dangerous' both featured seven UK Top Ten singles. Now, Calvin Harris becomes the record holder with 8 chart hits on one album – '18 Months'.
The climb to to the top began back in June 2011, with 'Bounce' peaking at #2; same ranking was then taken by 'Feel So Close'; Rihanna featured 'We Found Love' obviously at #1;'Let’s Go' (#2); 'We’ll Be Coming Back' (#2), 'Sweet Nothing' with Florence Welch (#1) and 'Drinking From The Bottle' (#5). The parade is topped by the single with Ellie Goulding, that's been causing waves once again, with the new video revealed.
Cheating or ingenuity? Bundling up past hits alongside fresh material was definitely a wise choice business-wise. Although, it's doubtful MJ would've done something like that back in those days.
I'll never dance, sing or be an ultimate musical legend & icon like MJ but he didn't know anything about sidechaining so it all balances out
Calvin will be happy to celebrate this outcome with a residency at Las Vegas mega-club Hakkasan. The Summer sees him appearing at Amnesia in Ibiza and, of course, festival slots at Made In America, Balaton Sound, V Festival, T In The Park and Wireless
When Harris spoke to Music Radar last year, he reminisced about the days before he became the pop producer of choice: “Right at the start, when I was about 13 or 14, I only had an Amiga 500 Plus running a bit of tracker software called OctaMED. My brother was big into his computers and, when he moved up to a proper PC, I took charge of the Amiga. With the right interface, you could sample things off CD, so I used to nick loads of loops from Fatboy Slim albums and make my own tunes.”

Fights don't get started only in rings, bars and parliaments. A conference about Social Media tactics turns out to be the perfect place to stir up some controversy. In a weird twist of events, Diplo's manager Kevin Kusatsu and DJ BL3ND's Steven Haddad threw blows at this years IMS Conference. IMS aka Ibiza International Music Conference is led by Pete Tong and is held as the worlds most revered global music industry event.
The trouble began after Diplo hinted that DJ BL3ND may have purchases a large part of his 133K Twitter followers and over 3 million Facebook likes. He pointed out that it was a strange occurance taking into account that BL3ND had “only played a string of shows in the OC”.
Steven, BL3NDs manager sitting in the audience objected, saying that his client had played sold out shows in more than just 1 state. Diplo's manager cut him off, ordering him to 'shut up'. Diplo himself tactfully led the panel until the end, saying also that he really enjoyed BL3ND's earlier videos.
However, the managers felt they had some unfinished business and proceeded to fight their way out of a heated discussion
While Diplo's been in the game for a long time, touring the world, getting nominated to various awards and producing the biggest popstars in the world, he's got a respectable 400,000 'likes'. At the same time, DJ BL3ND's page shows numbers above 3,000,000 – although the masked dubstep maniac hasn't performed out side of the States.
In an industry where a lot is determined by the number of 'likes' and 'followers', the social media tactics have become one of the most important marketing areas.
While the truth behind the fake Youtube views might have not involved this much shady business after all, there may be something off about BL3ND. What do you think?
