House music maestro Danny Howells was recently in Australia for the first time in over two years, sweeping across the country for a series of intimate club shows to promote of his new mix out on Renaissance. But, before making it even halfway through the tour, Howells ignited a roaring debate on ‘warmup ethics’ – what exactly is appropriate conduct on the part of a warmup DJ who’s been charged with heating up the dancefloor for an international guest? It all went down at his first gig in Perth.

Danny writes on his blog...

DJ/producer John Tejada will mix the next entry into Fabric's celebrated compilation series.

Fabric 44 will be a heavily edited mix from Tejada, who is renowned for his studio prowess. Says the DJ, "I did edit the tracks quite a bit…to take it one step above of what you might hear when a DJ plays out. I wanted the whole track selection to turn into one piece of music: a techno-classical piece that has movements and moods from start to finish, similar to a conductor with a classical piece of music." The symphony will contain a host of tunes from Tejada's own Palette label, as well as two tunes from Hardwax in and among the rest.

Tracklist...

Pilot warns officials they'd run out of runway just before the crash.

The cockpit recording from the September aircrash involving Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker and DJ AM has been released.

In the recording, the plane's pilot can be heard warning air traffic controllers that his plane was "going off the end of the runway" just before the plane crashed, killing four of the six people on board.

Co-pilot James Bland was also heard asking for emergency vehicles to be summoned, reports the Associated Press. "Roll the equipment, we're going off the end," he said.

Controllers responded by directing other airplanes to steer clear of the site. "We've had an emergency, just fly straight ahead," a controller told another pilot, who responded, "We see it down there. It doesn't look good."

The crash occurred at the airport in Columbia, South Carolina on September 19 and killed both pilots and two close friends of the musicians when the plane crashed into a fence and burst into flames. Travis Barker and DJ AM, whose real name is Adam Goldstein, suffered severe burns but are expected to recover fully and have already been preforming.

This Friday, November 21st, Traffic Events celebrates its 7 year anniversary at Cinespace in Hollywood, CA. Along with the sleek layout and character of the unique space, the event will be further accented by a custom Turbo Sound rig courtesy of WHUMP, and visual stimuli by MC THIS.

At the helm of this voyage is London-based DJ collective SOS (or SexOnSubstance), featuring Demi, Desyn Masiello and Omid 16B. As friends, producers, DJs, label owners – and model clubland citizens – Demi, Desyn and Omid are three of the most passionate talents working in electronic music today. Taking inspiration from their SexOnWax and Deeper Substance imprints to form SOS in 2004, they've built a first-rate reputation for quality music, inventive mixing and an infectious party spirit, whether it's on a boat along the Thames, deep inside Bedrock or Ministry of Sound, or glowing in the sun in Ibiza or Miami. Like Danny Krivit, François K and Joe Claussell's legendary Body & Soul connection before them, the chemistry between the members of SOS makes for a proper three-headed DJ monster.

Join us in the celebration!

Liam Howlett reveals he has finished The Prodigy's fifth album, "Invaders Must Die", which includes a collaboration with Dave Grohl to be released March 2.

The new album is called “Invaders Must Die” and will be released on The Prodigy’s imprint, Take Me To The Hospital, through Cooking Vinyl, on March 2nd. Liam Howlett, Keith Flint and Maxim all feature on the album, which is the first time since the release of Fat Of The Land in 1997. The result is said to be back to their bone shaking best, a collision of old skool rave noise with the stratospheric limits of new technology.

Kevin Cogill changes his plea to strike a deal with the feds.

The man accused of leaking several Guns N Roses tracks online from their new album 'Chinese Democracy' has agreed to plead guilty, a federal prosecutor announced.

Kevin Cogill, 27, will enter his guilty plea to one federal count of copyright infringement at a hearing on December 8, Craig Missakian, assistant US attorney, told the Associated Press.

Cogill is accused of violating federal copyright laws by uploading nine of the albums tracks on his website this summer. He was arrested at his home in Los Angeles in August, and was released on bail.

He originally entered a not-guilty plea in Los Angeles Federal Court last month, but has reportedly agreed to change his plea to guilty.

Details of the plea deal that Cogill reached with federal prosecutors have not been revealed and it'still unclear how he obtained the copies of the Guns N Roses tracks. The album, if you've yet to hear it will be released in 4 days on Saturday November 24.
