Christopher Lawrence headliner at South American Music Conference

Along with Ferry Corsten, Christopher Lawrence will appear as a headliner at the official South American Music Conference closing party on Saturday March 9th, 2008.

SAMC is located in Buenos Aires, long regarded the South American dance music capital. Since it's inception in 2003, SAMC has become one of the biggest and most prestigious events on the global dance calendar.

The closing party draws in excess of 50,000 dance music fans from throughout South America. The show boasts multiple massive stages, with over 50 international and local artists in a fifteen hour music extravaganza.

Gustavo Sofovich, event organizer and producer commented on his idea and projections for the future: "Having lived in Miami, I saw the model that is the Winter Music Conference. So why not create a South American conference like Miami, so that DJs, promoters, record labels, club owners could come together?"

Attended by fans, musicians, DJs, producers, radio programmers, fashion designers, distributors, music publications, music schools, record labels, event organizers and club owners the Conference gave many the opportunity to network and discuss the local and international industry.

SAMC is Christopher Lawrence's eagerly anticipated follow up to hissellout show at Pacha in Buenos Aires in December 2007.

Marco V show cancelled after death threats!

This is the statement from Marco on his website:

Due to the aggressive and threatening tone of email and messages left for me both online and with my management, the show in which I was to perform as the 1st international DJ to play in Damascus in Syria has been cancelled.

After discussions with the promoter and authorities both in Holland and Syria, it was decided that it was too dangerous for me to go ahead with the gig.

Obviously we get all kinds of comments on the boards, mostly positive, some not so good, but never anything like the death threats we received this week. I am very upset that I won't be able to make it; it would have been a first for me, and a first for Syria. At the end of the day we had to consider what's happened and take what is sensible advice. Hopefully one day the situation in Syria will allow international DJs such as myself to come and play as we do in every other part of the world.

Threats of any kind need to be considered carefully, and taking that into account cancelling was the only option we could take. It was going to be a historic gig for me as well as for Syria, to our knowledge no international DJ has ever played there before.

I'd like to apologize once again for not being able to make this happen, and would like to thank all those involved for their co-operation and understanding.

Marco

Tranceworld 2 mixed by Aly & Fila

Shivers – hairs on the back of your neck – hands in the air – reaching for the lasers – losing your mind – rushing to the music – just some of the side effects of listening to Egyptian duo Aly & Fila in full flow on the dance floor.

Since they burst into the international clubbing consciousness with their massive hit Eye of Horus back in 2003 they have been a full-on inspiration to clubbers and DJs alike. Their gorgeous, euphoric, uplifting blend of sweeping trance has seen them rise to A-list status alongside the likes of Armin, Blank & Jones, Johan Gielen, Tall Paul and more. At the forefront of the next generation of dance music superstars, they’ve already broken through into the UK, Europe and Asia. Goodgreef, Clockwork Orange, Gatecrasher, Ministry of Sound, The Gallery, Renaissance, The Synidicate, Freefall At The Arches, Off The Rails, Peach, the Zurich Street Parade, A State Of Trance 300 Party, the En-trance Festival – they’ve all fallen before the duo in a sensational sweep of dance floor domination. Tracks like Eye of Horus, Spirit of Ka, A Dream Of Peace, Ankh – Breath of Life and Thebes have won them worldwide critical acclaim from the press and fellow artists.

Their remix work in 2007 alone is staggering, putting their touch to tracks like ‘Whatever – Lost Witness vs Sassot’, ‘Why – FKN* ft Jahala’, ‘Tears of Hope – Deems’ and more. Now as 2008 and the rest of the world beckons, Aly & Fila step things up once again. Two huge releases – ‘Lost Language’ and ‘How Long’ – due out on Armada; their own imprint Offshore Music label with production partner Andy Prinz pioneering new sounds and artists. But while all this goes on around them, they still remain two of the most down-to-earth, friendly guys you could meet, bonded through a passionate love of trance music and the culture that goes with it. However high they go, however big they become, wherever the music takes them, they will always see themselves as just a part of the bigger picture, the most important aspect of all – the dance floor.

With that in mind, join them as they take you on a journey through some of the biggest tracks to hit in 2007 and a hand-picked selection of new tracks that will blow your weekend away in 2008. Prepare for those shivers, feel the hairs on the back of your neck, raise your hands in the air and reach for the lasers, lose your mind and rush to the music because this, ladies and gentlemen, is Aly & Fila and this is Trance World 2… Read on >>>

Dubai jails Grooverider on drugs charge

Grooverider was sentenced to four years in jail for bringing a little more than two grams of marijuana into Dubai as he arrived at the emirate's airport for a gig in the city Nov. 23. The DJ has two weeks to appeal.

"This is the minimum that you get by law but we will do our best, especially since he confessed and has cooperated with the authorities," defence lawyer Mohammed Suweidi told Reuters.

High-profile music producer Dallas Austin (Michael Jackson, Madonna) got the same sentence but received a pardon in 2006 with the help of one of Grooverider's lawyers, so there is hope for the spinner.

Intuition Invites Markus Schulz

On Thursday the 20th of March 2008 Intuition will be kicking off the new year with a very special guest.

Markus Schulz, nr. 13 in the prestigious DJ Mag Top 100, will be headlining a spectacular night at the Melkweg in Amsterdam. With other top notch names such as Eelke Kleijn, First State and Menno de Jong Intuition builds on its success of the past year which featured events at Panama in Amsterdam, Bloomingdale on the beach, Studio 80 in Amsterdam and participating in the FFWD Dance Parade. Lineup:

Markus Schulz [Coldharbour] (USA)
Eelke Kleijn [Global Underground] (NL)
First State [Black Hole] (NL)
Menno de Jong [Intuition] (NL)

Markus Schulz started the year exceptionally well with the release of his fourth mixcompilation for Armada Music; Amsterdam '08. The fact that the new album carries the name of the Dutch capital is not a coincidence. Amsterdam is one of the Miami based Global DJ Broadcast legends favourite destinations, which will definetely contribute to the magic of this evening. Markus explains: “I just love Amsterdam, I always feel a great connection with the crowd, it's like a unique friendship. The Dutch audience was one of the first to pick up my sound and has always shown appreciation for it over the years. That's why naming my new mixalbum 'Amsterdam' was an easy decision!

Christopher Lawrence moves Down Under!

US DJ and producer Christopher Lawrence has moved to Melbourne, Australia.

Having lived in Los Angeles for the past fourteen years, Christopher has risen to fame as one of the world's top international dance talents headlining festivals and clubs around the globe.

Christopher says "DJs tend to move abroad a lot. I had been thinking about moving overseas for a while and my wife is Australian, so it was a natural choice. I have traveled the world and Melbourne is a fantastic city. It is very cosmopolitan. Every time I tell a DJ I've moved to Australia, they say it's their favorite country to visit."

The trans Pacific move sees Christopher joining Carl Cox, who also maintains a summer home in Melbourne. The city is also home to producer Dirty South.

But what of the distance? "One thing is for sure" Christopher laughs "I'll be racking up a lot of frequent flyer miles".

Christopher Lawrence will continue his hectic international tour schedule, and will maintain a base in his long time home Los Angeles, where he will begin work on his third artist album this year.

Christopher will officially launch his label Pharmacy with his single "Beyond the Limit" (a collaboration with John 00 Fleming), as well as his new radio show in 2008. Christopher is also scheduled to release a double mix compilation 'Unfold' in Europe on Fektive Records this Spring.
