WANT SWEDISH HOUSE MAFIA TO PLAY AT YOUR HOUSE PARTY?

Melissa — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 02:36:16 +0000

With the countdown on for the kick-off of Future Music Festival 2012, inthemix has pulled together what’s undoubtedly our biggest prize ever. At five stops around the country, the world-conquering Swedish House Mafia will be closing the mainstage in front of mammoth crowds – but that’s not all they’re doing in Australia.

Future Music Festival and inthemix have joined forces to bring one of the world’s biggest dance acts together in one place: your place.

Think of the wildest house party you’ve hosted, then amp it up to 11! Steve Angello, Sebastian Ingrosso and Axwell could be strolling through your front door to play an exclusive set for you and 30 of your closest (and luckiest) mates. The Swedes will provide the soundtrack, we’ll provide the set-up and all you to do is get the next day off work. You’ll have bragging rights for life. Is it any wonder we’re calling this the most covetable prize in inthemix history?

The Swedish House Party house party can happen at any house or unit in Australia (you’ll just have to inform your neighbours first, obviously). Tell your mates to enter to increase your chance of scoring an invite to the biggest prize in ITM’s history.

FIND OUT HOW TO WIN HERE, and stay tuned for more exciting developments.

Skrillex at the Grammys

Melissa — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 08:04:11 +0000

24 year old DJ Skrillex is one amazingly talented electronic music producer, having won 3 Grammys and being nominated for many more, he has helped put the dubstep genre on the map by slowly venturing into the mainstream music scene.

The 3 grammys won at the pre-telecast ceremony include Best Remixed Recording (Non-Classical) for the song “Cinema (Skrillex Remix)”, Best Dance/Electronica Album for “Scary Monsters & Nice Sprites” and Best Dance Recording for the title track. Skrillex was also nominated for Best New Artist and Best Short Form Video but lost out to Bon Iver & Adele.

The former From First to Last member accepted his awards claiming that he had made the song Cinema (Skrillex Remix) in his bedroom when he was living illegally in a warehouse in downtown LA.

Needless to say the producer isnt homeless anymore with reports he earns up to $100,000 per night to spin at nightclubs. He now ranks above successful headliners such as David Guetta and Deadmau5 and with Skrillex performing at Future Music Festival 2012, get excited because this year is going to be bigger and better than ever this year!
