Own ‘Together We Are’ NOW via BEATPORT

Few tracks in the electronic world are treated with the same attention to perfection that Arty devoted to Together We Are. An epic dance anthem in its burgeoning stages, it gradually developed, taking on new forms as the young perfectionist matured with experiences that lay ahead of him. Playing across the world whilst releasing hits of Open Space, Around The World and When I See You’s caliber, Arty was transformed into an artist beyond his years. Understanding the emotional intensity electronic music can bring to the world, he is a young producer that applies the influence of people around him to music. Before Together We Are, we should have looked no further than the stirring record, Kate.

With the musical partnership of vocalist Chris James in tow, Together We Areblossomed as the “emotional connection across a field of thousands” (Billboard) it is today. Now more than just a record, it is a masterwork that unites genres, people and “it could even be EDM’s most representative anthem to crossover”. If you haven’t had the privilege of catching the raw emotional power of James’ acoustic version, you can do so below.

Together We Are (Feat. Chris James) Acoustic Edit

Together We Are is the culmination of Arty’s growth and is the record that will place him amongst the electronic greats. With high profile remixes on the way, Together We Are’s day in the sun is not due to set for a long time. For now though, bask in the sheer excellence of Arty’s most impressive opus to date, and embrace the person next to you.

TomorrowWorld – The Announcement The Entire World Has Been Waiting For!

TomorrowWorld - The Announcement The Entire World Has Been Waiting For!

Following months of intense speculation, and with the rumour mill now churning at full capacity, Tomorrowland is ready to put the gossip to rest once and for all.

Tomorrowland, which sold out all tickets this weekend in just one second, is very proud to be welcoming 180,000 people from no less than 214 different countries from all over the world to its birthplace in Belgium. This number means even more nationalities will attend this year’s edition than those that participated in the last Olympics in London, which was 204 – making the 2013 edition the most international gathering of people in the entire world! Included in this number are all the Global Journey packages, bringing in travellers from 120 cities worldwide on unique Tomorrowland planes.

Finally the time has come; Tomorrowland is able to offer an extra opportunity for all to experience the magical fairy-tale.

A mystical and fantastical trailer has been released for what will be the start of a truly incredible international adventure.

WATCH THE TOMORROWWORLD TRAILER HERE!

Over the coming weeks, the unique bottle as featured in the trailer – packed with the secret formula required to produce the super festival – will make its way across thousands of miles worth of ocean and eventually dock at the first location selected to host the next chapter in the festival’s magical history. This new location will become the centre of a second worldwide gathering of music fans from across the world for one weekend of September this year.

Belgian brothers Manu & Michiel Beers, creators of Tomorrowland, said: “Having the chance to organise a Tomorrowland outside of Belgium is more exciting than anything we ever dreamed of when we started years ago as young music lovers and entrepreneurs. This year it has become more and more of a reality. We see it as a fantastic and very unique opportunity; it will be an enormous challenge and a big step for our young, creative and vibrant team. We’re all very motivated and excited to begin this new chapter and create the same unique experience that we do in Belgium. We’re very happy we can finally give an alternative to the enormous amount of people from all over the world that want to visit our festival. We’ve found a beautiful location that feels like a second home, and it’s very similar to our fantastic terrain in Belgium. We will reveal all the details within the coming weeks.”

And so the guessing game begins! With official confirmation that Tomorrowland will travel, taking on the most appropriate name as it does so – TomorrowWorld – it’s anyone’s guess where the first ever edition of the festival outside of Belgium will take place. You have the dates – now start imagining the location!

The magnificent Tomorrowland tale continues…
TomorrowWorld is coming.

Lightning in a Bottle 2013: New Location, New Dates Announced

LakePano: Lightning in a Bottle 2013: New Location, New Dates Announced

Annual music and arts festival Lightning in a Bottle is relocating to Riverside County this summer, West Coast Sound can exclusively report. In a vote yesterday, the Riverside County board of supervisors approved the application to hold Lightning in a Bottle 2013 at Lake Skinner County Park. The four day festival, which has taken place at Orange County’s Oak Canyon Park since 2009, was forced to find a new home due to zoning changes at that location.

Dede Flemming, co-founder of the DoLab, the production company behind Lightning in a Bottle, said the group was notified in September that Oak Canyon would no longer be able to host the event. The land that borders the park was recently donated to the Irvine Ranch Conservancy. Because the park, and specifically the onsite Irvine Lake, now border Conservancy-owned land, all large-scale music festivals there have been forced out.

“It wasn’t that Lightning in a Bottle was asked to leave,” Flemming says. “It was that all music events down there are coming to a halt.”

After a period of being “upset and a little freaked out,” DoLab organizers began searching for a new home. They subsequently discovered Lake Skinner, located in the Riverside county town of Winchester, near Temecula and 90 miles southeast of Los Angeles.

“Our relationship with the managers of [Oak Canyon Park] is still really strong,” Flemming says. “[The owner of that space] helped us find the new location.” The Orange County Sheriff”s Office and Fire Department provided letters of support for the DoLab’s four month campaign to secure the spot. “There’s no bad blood between anyone; we just had to move on.”

Previously held on Memorial Day weekend, the festival will have new dates because of the move.

Skinner Land: Lightning in a Bottle 2013: New Location, New Dates Announced

Lightning in a Bottle 2013 will take place July 11-15. A 48 hour ticket presale begins at 10am on Tuesday, February 12 at the event’s website.

Lake Skinner, which also hosts the annual Temecula Balloon & Wine Festival, offers the same camping opportunities as Oak Canyon Park, with more facilities, flat area, trees and grass than the previous location. The new space is almost entirely on a peninsula and provides the same privacy and natural setting as Oak Canyon. “Normally with a change like this there’s a lot of compromise and the sacrifice of some of our standards,” Flemming says. “We don’t feel like that’s happening at all. It’s really going to be a more comfortable experience all around.

Lake Skinner also offers increased capacity; the Board approved attendance of 15,000 for this year’s festival. “We’ve always had an eye out for a next venue because we hit capacity at Oak Canyon,” Flemming says. “We were planning on doing a couple more years there, but because that situation changed we were able to find a newer, better place sooner than we thought we had to. We’re excited to hopefully make Lake Skinner a long term home for Lightning in a Bottle.”

The DoLab will now move forward with booking artists and workshops for the yoga, sustainability, art, and electronic music-focused event. “This is a pretty exciting day,” Flemming said shortly after hearing the Board’s decision. “We were afraid to start creating the festival before we got approval, and even though we’re sad to leave a very welcoming Oak Canyon Park, we’re thrilled and excited to have this new home.”
