A couple of weeks ago, on an exclusive NYC yacht party, Bounce Boat, we had the pleasure of sitting down with the jovial DJ legend and man behind Sirup Music and PinkStar Records, bossman EDX A.K.A. Maurizio Colella. The Swiss/Italian DJ has had quite the career thus far, and in between topping Beatport’s Best Progressive House Artists and touring the world, Maurizio continues to improve his sound and deliver to his fans. While touring can take a toll on anyone, before the insane schedule of this year, EDX released his 14-track debut album titled “On The Edge” in 2012. With so many things on his plate, one of them also includes hosting his very own radio show on Sirius XM called “No Xcuses” where he recently announced a brand new giveaway to Nocturnal Wonderland on his jet (enter here) to see him play. While we are pretty sure EDX has been DJing longer than Madeon has been alive, you can delve into the mind of EDX and find out as we discuss his influences, his "No Xcuses" radio show on Sirius XM and his recent No Xcuses Ibiza contest and more. While we may have said Bounce Boat was on their final voyage this summer in last months review (here), it is certainly not the last party on the Hudson for the year. Bounce Boat will be returning on October 25th. Just in case you cannot hear bits and pieces of the interview (thanks to the loud people on the boat!), we've included a transcribed version below. Enjoy our interview with EDX, and check out the bonus re-cap video after the transcribed interview of his summer European shenanigans. Ciao!
This may be the first time you've heard the name of the up-and-coming DJ and producer, Pel A.K.A Del Pello, but this surely won't be the last. Originally from The Hague in the Netherlands, 20 year old Del Pello has traveled across Europe spinning, playing with the likes of Avicii, Dirty South, Benny Benassi, Thomas Gold and many other top artists. In addition to his successful summer playing at Marbella's top club, Olivia Valere among other places, the Dutch DJ has been given the nod from many of the top DJs for his music. With support from Laidback Luke, Kaskade, Dirty South and so many more artists, this rising DJ has only hit the tip of the iceberg of his blossoming career. So read on to get insight on Del Pello's past, present and future in this exclusive interview from how it all began too where he hopes to be in the future, and tips for any aspiring DJs out there.
Before Verboten opens its own dance venue in Brooklyn, the massive electronic music event company gave their audience a preview of what is to come with the 2013 StageONE Brooklyn Waterfront Series. After spending two of my summer days with some of the world's best DJs, I can confirm that Verboten surely knows how to throw one hell of a party.
The first of the two shows took place on the Fourth of July, and those present to celebrate America's independence included Sasha, Guy Gerber, and a personal favorite of mine: Maya Jane Coles. The sun was shining down hard at over 90 degrees on a packed lot of concert-goers all day, but once Maya took over the decks at 5:30 there was no question that she was the number one source of heat in New York. From 5:30 to 7 she riled up the crowd with a great set featuring some music from her new album, Comfort, including the track 'Burning Bright' on which she teamed up with Kim Ann Foxman of Hercules and Love Affair.
