Identity Festival to be No More?

Identity Festival was the first and only national touring EDM festival that ran from 2011 to 2012, featuring huge artists like Kaskade and Eric Prydz as headliners.

Recently, a flyer for the 2013 Identity Festival has been circulating online (seen here), claiming that the United State's only touring EDM festival would be returning from July 18 through August 17, 2013.

However, this flyer is highly likely to be fake. A quick view of the ID Fest's Facebook shows no activity since December, with people constantly posting "Any updates on the 2013 tour?" to no avail.

ID Festival's website shows nothing but the logo for Synergy Glogal Entertainment (SGE) (the production company that once hosted ID Fest).

A peek at their Twitter account also shows no activity since December, with their Twitter description reading in the past tense: “OFFICIAL Twitter of IDENTITY, which was the first ever touring electronic only festival from 2011-12. Account was managed by @nehamodi.”

The last tweet on the account was a response to @BeatsNotBombs_ saying "I need @IDENTITYfest back...", with a short response: "@BeatsNotBombs_ meee toooo" (@IDENTITYfest).

Sources close to EDM Boston say that there will be no ID Festival returning for 2013. Why? We don't know for sure yet. However, speculation is that is has something to do with the 2 deaths at the Mansfield stop on the tour last year.

We will keep you updated as we learn more.

David Guetta Caught Faking at Tomorrowlands???

David Guetta was making moves with his new record label and things seem to be going well, as the super star dj has been relatively quiet this summer and just been focusing on his music. However, this mixmag story popped up and appears to have David Guetta caught faking at tomorrowlands.

(Mixmag) Steve Angello was one of the first to be criticised for 'miming' his sets, as reported by Mixmag, and now chart-topping Frenchman David Guetta has been involved in a similar scenario.

Pictures emerged online today that allude to Guetta being caught in the act when DJing at this year's Tomorrowland Festival in Belgium.

The screenshot from his live set on YouTube appears to show David Guetta's mixer with all four volume faders down but music still playing out to the 80,000 strong crowd.

Although it cannot be certain what went on that night, the social networks have been set alight with the public outraged by what they see to be him 'faking' his DJ set.

Guetta has been making headlines recently with his outbursts towards his critics and this is sure to add to the pressure that the DJ is receiving from the public.

As there's always two sides to every story, we've approached David Guetta's team to get his side of the story...

Daft Punk Rumors Fake, No "Renoma Street"

We've been following the Daft Punk Rumors the last two weeks and actively chose not to blog them. The reason being is that the duo is so secretive, there was no way they were going to let some french magazine drop the exclusive on their new material. More then that, 99% of information surrounding daft punk rumors is always false and only gains traction because of the hype that follows so closely to the mega duo.

The French Magaine 'Tsugi' made an official statement to confirm Daft Punk Rumors Fake

“A pure creation, making fun of all the madness surrounding ...
