///////// The group is pretty cool and the track Wonderful Life takes me back to the days when I was a wee little one. The black and white video is the old on and the new one is the one blocked in the states.
///////// Where has time gone? Is it that time of the year again? WMC is just on the horizon and DJMAGs TOP 100 DJ poll is underway! Who will snag this years golden record? It’s the battle between Tiesto, Guetta and Armin Van Buuren.
New single ‘I Need Air’ is out today, with Angela Hunte adding her vocals to a euphoric slice of bass heavy rave. The track appears on Magnetic Man’s debut album, with the self-titled effort due for release on October 4th.
//////// Sad news from Germany as their annual Love Parade turns into a frenzy. It’s tragic to report grimly news on what should be a magical event, our condolences to all.
19 people have died and 340 more are injured in an avalanche that occurred over an alleged collective panic attack in the tunnel entrance to the macro party which celebrated the ‘Love Parade’ in Duisburg, western Germany.
The victims were nine women and six men, police said.
In addition, ten participants lost consciousness and had to be resuscitated by emergency services after the incident, explained police chief, Ralf Klauck. According to sources there were over 150 wounded. Rescue helicopters landed on a nearby highway to serve them
According to local TV station WDR to the party 1.4 million people attended. The main stage, a large open space previously used as a freight train station, had been limited by a metallic fence not to exceed half a million attendees.
Half an hour before the stampede, some attendees called the police warning that “the situation was unsustainable and will cause a tragedy,” said Fabio, one of the participants. “I was in the midst of people and pressure from outside, from those who wanted to enter, continuously increasing,” he said.
/////////// Felix Da Housecat has dropped a stormer and Eric Prydz throws back with a “epic” remix as well. The track ‘Thee Anthem’ is already getting rave reviews let’s see how it holds up on the dance floor.
