Diddy's Ibiza Movie

(Inthemix) “The vision for Last Train To Paris started from hearing different sounds in Ibiza at DC-10,” U.S. rap mogul P. Diddy told the NY Mag back in 2010 when explaining his forthcoming album. “There’s a lot of different dance clubs in Ibiza, but DC-10 – the way that the drums are syncopated, the percussion – it’s totally different from any club in the world. It opened my mind up to the fact that there’s something more than the four-on-the-floor. Being a producer and a connoisseur of hip-hop production, that’s the thing that motivated me.” This was of course the infamous interview where Diddy also called himself “actually a legend in Ibiza,” before adding, “I definitely experienced Ibiza to its fullest”. Ecstasy sure is an eye-opener.

As chucklesome as his Ibiza prophesising might be, at least the man is tapping into some interesting avenues. He recently recruited Israeli tech-house whiz Guy Gerber to lend a hand to his album, after calling Gerber to tell him he’s a fan. “So I’m in New York and I go to his $1 million studio where everyone like Biggie and even Michael Jackson worked, and the console belonged to Whitney Houston,” Gerber recently told Magnetic Mag. The results of that stint in the studio should be out before the end of the year.

Now comes the trailer for Ibiza, a movie sponsored by Ciroc vodka that’s presumably all about Diddy’s love affair with the island. “I started coming to Ibiza like 15 years ago,” intones Diddy in the trailer. “It changed my life.” From there, it’s all lingering shots of the Mediterranean, the leading man in slow-mo, and even a cameo from Amnesia mainstay Marco Carola, one of Diddy’s favourite DJs. It’s all set to the soundtrack of Jay-Z’s Run This Town, because, of course it is.

I’m not a friend of the mainstream stuff: Apparat

(India Times) If you're a fan of EDM, you've heard of him. One of the notable German musicians known globlally, Sascha Ring aka Apparat is coming to Indian shores for the first time, as a part of the the ongoing year of Germany in India. 

He's often described as the missing link betweenSteve Reich and Radiohead. Having churned out four albums and two projects, his last album The Devil's Walk (2011) was a success. Excerpts from an interview:

You're often described as the missing link between Steve Reich and Radiohead. Describe your personal style of electronica music? When I started making music 15 years ago, electronic instruments were the easiest way of archieving what I wanted to do. I think during the years, I just discovered other ways of expressing myself. I grew up with techno, real instruments were not an option, and I just slowly discovered my love for acoustic sounds during the last 10 years. I love the music of both Steve Reich and Radiohead. Reich has always been using acoustic instruments but he did it with a really electronic approach. Thats why I like him. As for Radiohead, they started as a guitar band and got inspired by the IDM (Intelligence Dance Music) sound of electronic music in the 90s. I'm really in a good postion these days as I really don't feel there are any boundaries — I don't have to fit in a genre, don't have to be electronic or acoustic to please my fans so I can do whatever I want to and it feels good.

Where do you derive inspiration for your music? What are your songs about? A lot of ideas actually come when...

AVICII, 'SUPERLOVE' MUSIC VIDEO PREMIERE

Tim Mosenfelder, Getty Images

(Spinner) Avicii's new Music video "Superlove" isn't your average dance party. We follow a bespectacled music fan as he happens upon a mysterious Walkman.

After popping in the cassette, our hero is compelled to pop and lock like it's before the financial crisis. Avicii's infectious track pumps along with the altered vocals of rock star Lenny Kravitz.

But when the video's star gets a little too excited from dancing, he bangs his head and is catapulted into a neon brainscape. We travel down a corridor of ladies' legs, through the mouth of a tiger and into a smokey party of flamboyantly dressed ravers, ready to trip to the beat.

AND, there's a twist ending. So what are you waiting for? Watch Avicii's video for "Superlove" below, and always practice safe dancing.
