Watch: From a ‘professional clubber’ to a pro DJ, Nicole Moudaber mini movie
Nicole Moudaber has been causing waves as of late. Her debut long-playing Believe got released earlier in May on Drumcode. The #489 DJ in the world has come a long way from being a 'professional clubber' – she's now firmly in the dialogue when it comes to techno, house or – if you will – tech house. To learn more about the intruiging DJ out of UK, check out this mini documentary with an insight into her world. “To me [DJing] is more like a cathartic experience. – I go into another planet completely, if I could do that 24/7 maybe all my issues would be gone in my life," tells the DJ-producer jokingly. Dig into the video below, and grab Believe on Beatport!
Watch: Mini-movie about Skrillex & friends in Mexico
South-America has caught the EDM bug in a big way in recent years. So it's no suprise that Skrillex has become a really beloved figure among those parts of the world. The OWSLA label head is especially welcomed in Mexico, where he spent the last week of 2012 touring alongside 12th Planet, Zedd and Nadastrom. Playing 4 gigs in the fun loving country, there was plenty of time to capture the experience on tape. Enjoy the 14 minute mini documentary of the tour below! For some more coverage on their trip, head to Nest HQ for a lovely photo gallery.
Watch & Listen: What a wooden vinyl sounds like?
Vinyl sales are on a significant rise since the twentieth century. Reports from UK vinyl sales range from 60-70% more than a year before in 2012. With that said, it's really not a surprise that people's attention is turned towards the magic of vinyls yet again.
The way Amanda Ghassaei has approached the booming lazer cutters and 3D printers phenomena, makes for an intruiging experiment. Listen to Radiohead's 'Idiotique' captured in tree rings that tell a whole different story, than just the age of the tree!
Watch: Swedish House Mafia video that got us asking questions
Last Friday, we pondered what Swedish House Mafia is up to again, after the encryptic website and teasers emerged. Now, we've gotten an answer – it's not a documentary, nor a comeback effort.
We do really ask ourselves, why do we keep writing about Swedish House Mafia in presence, when they've officially disbanded? The contradiction isn't the only one, as it turns out the group has inked a deal with Volvo.
So the video is actually a downbeat version of their 'Leave The World Behind'. The previously unreleased version features the electronic artist Luna.
The melancholic visuals also features a Volvo 2014 XC60 Crossover, serving as a launching point for the SHM and Volvo partnership. As announced by the Swedish car company, the song is a part of a global advertising campaign.
