Fatboy Slim - Eat, Sleep, Rave, Repeat
Fatboy Slim and Stef (Riva Starr) were out vinyl shopping in Williamsburg, Brooklyn earlier this year when we met this dude ranting in the street about some 3 day bender he had been on (and possibly still was). We hooked him into our Serato and chopped him up into a tune. I just wish we’d caught his full name. |

Martin Garrix - Animals
At just 17 years old, Dutch wunderkind Martin Garrix has quickly affirmed his position as one of the most exciting artists in dance music, and his star remains steadfastly in the ascendant. This is evident nowhere more so than on his latest transmission, the huge scene conquering ‘Animals’, which is set for release on Positiva / Virgin on 10th November 2013.
Quickly garnering widespread attention and a building wave of momentum, the track went straight into the #1 on Beatport, making Garrix the youngest person ever to do so. Since then, the excitement around the track has continued to build as it has been picked up by leading tastemaker DJs, radio stations and press , with the official video amassing over 23.5 million views so far. To date, it has gone Top 10 in no less than six countries, taking the #1 spot in Belgium, while rising to the Top 10 on iTunes in 19 countries, including #6 in USA. This is a trajectory that continues to build as the powerhouse production spreads internationally and takes over the second half of 2013, having become an unofficial anthem at festivals across the summer getting played by innumerable DJs throughout some of the biggest dance events in the world such as Tomorrowland.
At just 17 years old, Garrix has quickly proven himself as a formidable talent, picking up releases with electronic music institutions such as Spinnin, Musical Freedom and Doorn while spending increasing amounts of his time on the road with an increasingly hectic tour schedule. Now, ‘Animals’ is proving to be a watershed moment for the producer as he joins the highest ranks in dance music. Garrix is the act to beat.
