Nightlife Podcast: Mark Farina

Let’s talk about mushrooms. DJ/producer Mark Farina’s seventh installment of his Mushroom Jazz mix album series to be exact. He’ll be celebrating his latest release in Vegas November 3 at Eve Nightclub, and the Weekly caught up with him as he was signing a stack of the new albums for fans.

Nightlife Podcast: DJ Shadow

What should people expect from your Live from the Shadowsphere tour stop? My visual guy, Ben Stokes, and myself were trying to come up with a show that would be completely different.

Mau5 and me: An interview with Deadmau5

Back in the days before Deadmau5 was rocking the VMAs and being recognized throughout the world, he was slated to play New Year’s Eve at the now-defunct Empire Ballroom. His tracks on Beatport, plus that mau5head in press shots caught my attention. This guy seemed like he was going places and would be perfect for our New Year’s issue. Calling Deadmau5 (a.k.a. Joel Zimmerman) directly to coordinate a day and time for the full phone interview, he sounded as if ... Read more...
