Djs From Mars - The History Of Electronic Dance Music
"10 years ago i was doing these mashup mixes, it combined mixing great music and adding flavour with on-the-fly pella juggling. It's said that it has become more a commercial line these days with artists like DJ Earworm, i disagree. Nothing against these talented artists but they are studio compiling vocals over 'usually' one (or few) instrumental, that's arrangement. It's not the same as mixing a live dub set with an acapella disc on your third player." - 3initial

Best Breakthrough DJ: Lauren Lane
It’s been a wild, breakout ride for Los Angeles-based DJ/producer Lauren Lane over the past few years, catapulting her through the global tech house scene, from the UK to Brazil, Ibiza and beyond. From her debut EP, ‘Cool Kids’, on Nic Fanciuilli’s Saved Records in 2014 (the best-selling track on the label that year), to last year’s ‘Diary Of A Madwoman’ EP, a chunky house stomper on Eats Everything and Nick Harris’ Edible imprint, and her recently released ‘Never Ending Moments’ collab with Acid Mondays on Warung Recordings, Lauren Lane has been busy carving out her spot as the scene’s rising star. Apparently, DJ Mag readers agree. Lauren says she’s excited and honored to be selected as Best Breakthrough DJ in the inaugural Best Of North America poll: “I’m so happy to know a lot of people are out there enjoying my DJ sets and releases. I am truly grateful to do what I love and I appreciate the support immensely!”

UZ Reveals Himself as Two-Time DMC Champ DJ Troubl
If you've seen UZ in the past few months, you've caught the mystery trap DJ ending his sets with Future's “Mask Off,” and if you were really lucky, he actually took the gold bandana veil up from his face, revealing himself to be Guillaume P., aka DJ Troubl.
The French, two-time DMC World Champion has hidden his identity for five solid years, but that ends today.
“The anonymity was fun when I started it, but now I feel like there’s too many masked artists and it really has become more of a gimmick than a message,” P. says in an email interview. “Our motto at the time was to let the music speak by itself and not focus on the artist. It’s still true, but now that I’m a curator, and I’m working full-time on my label Quality Goods Records, I need to make myself heard, talk to people face to face, etc. Also, people need to know where I’ve come from and where I’m going - right here, right now. It’s just the beginning of a whole new journey for me, and I’m really excited about it.”

After Diplo retweeted a littany of fans dumping on the track, he removed the track from Soundcloud altogether.
One thing’s for sure, and that is that the story surrounding this track will be very interesting. Did Diplo agree that the track sucked and maybe didn’t want to release it? At this time the track is completely erased
