DJ Mag

Anja Schneider, Rodriguez Jr. & Davide Squillace will play DJ Mag's latest Sessions event, this Saturday, 28th January, at EGG LDN. 

Mobilee boss Anja Schneider has been entertaining the German airwaves with her long-running show on Berlin’s Fritz Radio since the turn of the millennium. But it was the launch of her own label Mobilee in 2005 that provided a focus for the demos she was receiving, as well as her own burgeoning career in production, cemented by 2008's debut album 'Beyond the Valley'.

From his past on pirate radio to the arenas he's filling today, DJ EZ has gone from the face of UK garage to a world-famous brand almost in the space of a year. 

Part of this recent meteoric rise was down to his 24-hour set for Cancer Research earlier this year, watched all over the world, which raised £60,000 in funds for the charity. So how did he manage it (and make it look so easy!)?

Lincoln Barrett really loves movies. Invited into his spacious house in the town of Penarth, minutes from central Cardiff, it’s impossible not to notice the plethora of film memorabilia in every room. 1960s Italian film posters hang on his walls; the area below his home studio is a screening room with a video projector; and we notice that the gift of an obscure ’70s thriller DVD is waiting for him on his doormat outside.

Happening in design space Second Home in East London on Saturday 19th November, Take Note is an event that pairs music industry experts with professional hopefuls. 

Whether it's journalism, production, management or DJing, there's a talk for every kind of dance music fan at London's newest educational conference, with DJ Mag's own Sarah Polonsky set to take the stage on the day alongside Toddla T,  B.Traits, Becky Tong and many more.

If the '90s was an area of rainforest, natural home to the much sampled rave loon, then its rate of deforestation would have long passed an alarming rate. Pillaged by two generations, one born in that decade and now at the height of their clubbing peak, the other those who lived through its first rich bloom and are returning to their roots for cuttings, its golden house sound has already dominated the last five years or more.

Turn on a Saturday morning TV chart show and fifth generation copies of New York house and New Jersey garage often provide the backdrop.

Martin Garrix has been revealed as the winner of the DJ Mag Top 100 DJs Poll 2016, with the 20-year-old Dutch superstar becoming the youngest ever No.1 DJ.

Garrix, who takes the coveted top spot from 2015 winners, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, was awarded the No.1 trophy by his mentor, Tiësto, on stage at the Top 100 DJs poll award ceremony at the Heineken Music Hall. The event was the opening party in this year’s AMF Festival, the largest of the Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE).

Groove Armada make their debut on Riva Starr’s Snatch! Records with their ‘House With Me’ EP tomorrow (September 16th), and we’ve got the exclusive premiere of ‘U Can’ from it below.

For nearly two decades Groove Armada have been established as one of the planet’s best and biggest selling dance acts, after Andy Cato and Tom Findlay first met in London in the mid 90s.

On ‘U Can’, the duo channel early 90s Balearic house, built around a soulful male vocal, warm pads and rock-solid drum programming.

Set to release his new album '8-track' through Hot Since 82's Knee Deep In Sound imprint next month, 2016 is shaping up to be another epic year for Newcastle native Cristoph. 

He's already wowed fans with the album's first single 'Closer' — that features vocals from fellow fast-rising star Jinadu — and now Cristoph is set to spin at EGG LDN to help celebrate DJ Mag's 25th birthday in October.

Joseph Capriati is the rapidly-rising Italian techno star who's broadened his sound out for Ibiza to inject more groove into it. Leaving behind the Music On night with Marco Carola at Amnesia on the White Isle, he's teamed up with Jamie Jones for some dates at Paradise at DC10 this summer — playing some back-to-back sets with the Hot Creations man in the process — and has been busy setting up his own new label and touring the world.
