In the last year, the Dayglow paint party concept has grown from a staple student party to the international phenomenon we now know as Life in Color. Since its humble inception in 2006 at colleges around Florida, Life in Color has experienced exponential market dominance as the paint party took its talents to global metropolises such as Cancun, Melbourne and London. But the folks at host company Committee Entertainment will never forget their roots, as evidenced by Life in Color’s triumphant return to its hometown of Miami last Friday.

Day 1
Nick van de Wall, better known as DJ Afrojack, has announced the dates of his upcoming North American tour which is set to begin on Oct. 25th in Las Vegas and will be making stops in Atlanic City, California and at Electric Daisy Carnival in Orlando.
As they did on the last JACKED tour, Afrojack will have support from big name producers such as R3hab, Shermanology, and Quintino. Just nabbing his second nomination for an MTV European Music Award, he recieved a nom in the category 'Best Dutch Act' and had the opportunity to remix the iconic and late Michael Jackson's, "Bad," where the track is featured on the 25th anniversary addition of the King of Pop's 1987 smash album of the same title. Tickets will be for sale on Afrojack.com.
Anyone who grew up in the 80s remembers the lunchbox with matching thermos, the red leather jacket, and of course, moonwalking everywhere you go. In the years to follow, Michael Jackson would become an international superstar despite the controversies that would conjure up images of a strange mix of characters that became associated with "The King of Pop." With 2012 marking the 25th anniversary of the 5th best selling album of all time, the Sept. 18th release of '"BAD 25" hopes to take us back in time and shift our focus back to what was really important; the music.
In addition to a re-mastered version of the original album, the two-disc set will contain demos from early recording sessions, remixes by NERO and Afrojack along with previously unreleased demos of songs that were not included on the final version. A deluxe version of the release will include a highly anticipated DVD of MJs 1988 performance at Wembly Stadium (oftened cited as being one of the best performances of his career), as well as a third disc containing audio from the same show. Furthermore, a special edition box set will include the above, 2 booklets of never before seen photos and a two-sided poster. As if all this wasn't enough, a stand alone 12" vinyl LP picture disc is also available.
A Spike Lee documentary of the same name, recently debuted at the Venice International Film Festival, takes an in depth look at the behind the scenes process of making the multi-platinum classic. "This is a time to just concentrate on the music- the genius of Michael Jackson, a chance to dig into his creative process," said Spike Lee in a press statement. "We all are blessed with the final work, but it's rare that you see how something was put together. We just see the final product but we dont see the blood, sweat, and tears, all the work that goes into how the masters work".
Uncovering the history behind Smooth Criminal's gravity defying lean, and 'Shamon' the full documentary will remind us who's bad on November 22 on ABC.
It seems that music fans' worst nightmare prayers have been answered! Socialite and famous for doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING personality, Paris Hilton, is determined to make an impact on today's music scene.
She announced earlier this year she's been hard at work on a new album, which we are all sure will be a masterpiece, just like the rest of her previous work. Paris is going for an electro/pop sound and who better to catapult her singing career than world famous DJ and rumored (ex) boyfriend, Afrojack, who is currently producing tracks for her new album. Not only does she plan to bless music fans with her vocals, she's also preparing to become a disc jockey and has been cast to play the lead female in K-Pop singer Kim Jang Hoon's next music video.
When it comes to festivals, Tomorrowland is king. The Belgian summer festival is famous for its fairytale-designed venue and cream of the crop lineup. Almost reminiscent of an Alice in Wonderland trip, attendees enjoy exploring the larger-than-life mushroom fields, stages with massive sun-and-moon backdrops, and the bounds of sensory-overload wonders Tomorrowland offers.
And such an extraordinary festival deserves an extraordinary theme song. Last year, Belgian brothers Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike produced Tomorrowland’s anthem “The Way We See The World,” with the help of Afrojack and Nervo. This year, the brothers are back to create a track that rivals Tomorrowland’s whimsical aura - yielding “Tomorrow Changed Today” as the culmination of their musical efforts. This progressive house ear-candy ebbs and flows into punchy chords and uplifting synths.
What do Tiesto, Avicii, Afrojack and Kaskade all have in common? They’ve all been opened for by Matt Goldman - progressive tech-house extraordinaire.
The Baltimore native holds a prestigious residency at Club Glow in Washington, DC where he can be found spinning his uplifting synths and groovy beats. But luckily for New Yorkers, we can catch him live this Saturday headlining Electric Beach at Santos House Party.
Goldman’s sounds are chalking up to be the next big thing - don’t miss the opportunity to see a rising star in action!
Tickets are available here. Check out his mixes below:
