• Electric Daisy Carnival Mexico Announces 2015 Lineup Headlined by Jack Ü, Tiësto, Sasha, David Guetta and More

    Insomniac's Electric Daisy Carnival is one of the biggest dance music festival franchises in the world. The flagship festival EDC Las Vegas started in Los Angeles and has since moved to Las Vegas, but Insomniac began to grow the brand in the past five years to the East Coast, creating outposts in New York and Orlando and then spreading internationally. One of these international destinations has taken root in Mexico City, and Insomniac has announced the lineup for the second-annual edition of the festival. Habitual headliners like Tiësto, David Guetta, Laidback Luke, Dillon Francis and Sasha will all join the party, with a large cast of DJs to round out the lineup, including Diplo and Skrillex's side project Jack Ü, which Diplo announced the appearance of last month in an interview with DJ Whoo Kid.The lineup includes a variety of DJs from a wide swath of genres. Some of the acts heading to Mexico in the spring include Tommy Trash, Grum, Dubfire, Arty, GTA, Oliver Heldens, Orjan Nilsen, Claude VonStroke, Andrew Rayel and more, via "Mixmag." The festival will take place over two days, Feb. 28 to March 1. As it is in Las Vegas, EDC Mexico will be situated on a racetrack, this time closer to the city than in Las Vegas at the Autodrome Hermanos Rodriguez.

  • John Coltrane Documentary Coming from 'The U.S. Vs. John Lennon' Director

    Once you tackle John Lennon and Brian Wilson's lives in documentary films, it is tough to find subjects as interesting or important. But director/writer/producer John Scheinfeld ("The U.S. Vs. John Lennon," "Beautiful Dreamer") has been working on a new project featuring John Coltrane, the legendary saxophonist who died in 1967."He was an artist whose work resonated with fans from all walks of life — the architect Frank Gehry, Clint Eastwood, Bono, Philip Glass, Alicia Keys, Bill Clinton — and that fascinated me. What is it about this music that touches people so deeply?" Scheinfeld said, via "The Hollywood Reporter."The director's goal was not to glorify Coltrane, but to humanize him.

  • Have Chief Keef and Migos Squashed Their Beef?

    It would appear that the year-long beef between Chief Keef's GBE crew and Migos has been put to bed. An Instagram picture posted late last night, Dec. 8, was of him and Migos together and seemingly in good spirits. The duo have been trading jabs online through music and in real life for the better part of a year now, so it is good to see what was becoming an explosive beef is now apparently settled, via radio.com.In addition to the Chief Keef Instagram post, Migos posted the same picture on their Twitter account with the simple caption "Miglo." "Miglo" mashes together "Migos" and "Glory" from GBE, which stands for "Glory Boys Entertainment." This seems pretty definitive that they are putting past differences behind them and trying to move forward.Miglo pic.twitter.com/wn2nn6tifT — MIGOS™ (@MigosATL) December 9, 2014Even more proof of reconciliation comes from GBE member Tadoe, also featured in the other pic, who posted on his Instagram a different picture then that of Chief Keef and Migos. It is in the same place as the previous picture and shows the group members, including Migos later on in the night, still in good spirits and plenty of party supplies on hand.

  • Lorde Admits She Likes to 'Trawl the Inorganics'

    One of the biggest teen stars in the world, Lorde is about as recognizable as any major musician worldwide. At 18, however, she is barely out of high school and still in the prime of her youth. With that youth comes some odd tendencies that one might expect from a teenager regardless of whether or not they are in the spotlight 24/7. In an interview with "Stella" — the British newspaper "The Telegraph's" weekly edition — the "Royals" star reveals that she likes to go sifting through other people's trash for useful items.The interview also goes on to discuss "Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1" and her first time in contact with Jennifer Lawrence, who on the set "totally fanned out" when she saw Lorde.She also discusses how she handles her image as a teenage girl pop star and why she eschews the red carpet, but the most interesting caveat is how she takes part in a New Zealand recycling/reuse initiative where each year everyone clears out old junk they are no longer using, like cabinets, cloths, TVs, etc., and puts them out on the street for others to take.It is then shipped off to a landfill, but before that people go through other people's trash and potentially find their own treasures. One of those individuals trawling the trash is Lorde.Lorde describes her passion for going out on the hunt:"See, I'm boring because my favorite thing to do is trawl the inorganics. Do you have inorganics here?"
