Swedish House Mafia Last Performance Ultra Music Festival Set 2013




Thankyou Swedish House Mafia. The trio Ingrosso, Angello and Axwell played their last show last night, on the final day of Ultra Music Festival. ' Good Evening Miami. My name is Axwell, this is Seb Ingrosso and Steve Angello - and we are still the Swedish House Mafia. ' Axwell's inspiring introduction brought back memories from December 2012 when myself and bloggers Mike and Hugh saw SHM in Paris. Words still can't describe how unbelievable that night was, easily one of the best experiences of my life and I would have paid any amount of money to see their last show at Ultra. Check out this last, incredible set packed with an amazing light and pyro show, thumping tunes and the euphoric and emotional classics, rounded off with Axwell preaching - ' we came, we raved, we fucking love you. '

Thankyou SHM

Carnage & Flosstradamus Ultra 2013 Live Sets

With Ultra Music Festival premiering their ' TRAPPED OUT ' stage some of the biggest artists in the Trap genre turned out for 2 weekends of madness. Carnage and Flosstradamus go in hard with these energetic, aggressive and rigid sets, showcasing their immense talent. There has been a lot of talk about how the Trap industry has been hyped too quickly, and I agree that quality of the releases compared to 3-4 months ago has significantly decreased. However artists such as Gucci Mane, Rick Ross and RL Grime who helped renew the genre's recent success still keep the tunes pumping. Carnage drops a few new tracks in his set, especially the highly anticipated 'Deniz Koyu - Tung ( Carnage Festival Trap Remix )' The genius duo behind Flosstradamus deliver a huge set, full of their classic trap anthems, with tracks from Kendrick Lemar, DJ Snake and GTA. The hoodieboyz are certainly one act I would love to see live. Be sure to check these sets out, they won't disappoint!

Porter Robinson - Ultra Music Festival Live Set


Having listened to many of the Ultra sets from the comfort of my room on the other side of the Atlantic, i felt i had to draw attention to this particular set which for me is absolute genius. Porter Robinson is a perhaps the most famous DJ in the world to use the Traktor S4 style, a style that is criticised by vinyl purists and sync-haters the world over. With this set Porter slaps those idiots in the face, demonstrating exactly how this style of DJing should be used, rapidly switching from track to track, mixing different songs and firing off samples at a ridiculously fast paced rate, rarely pulling back for a calm moment.

Avicii announces possible album preview at Ultra tonight

Chicane is in a league of his own. In my opinion the British trance artist is one of the most underrated producers out there, constantly producing euphoric tracks for the last 10-15 years.
