9Preview my remix for Laidback Luke & Sander van Doorn
“Who’s Wearing The Cap” (A-Trak Remix) a.k.a. an exercise in making dance stabs funky.
This comes out on Monday!
THAT’S A BEAUTIFUL HAT.
Duck Sauce Grammy nomination!
The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences has officially quacked: “Barbra Streisand” is up for Best Dance Recording! Check back Feb 12th for the ceremony (and my suit).
South America tour
Mi gente!
I just landed in Chile, ready for a week in this glorious continent. Come see me with MSTRKRFT in Santiago tomorrow, then at Ultra Brazil (Duck Sauce performance) Saturday, and Buenos Aires next week!
Also while we’re announcing some dates, here’s the flyer for my upcoming NYC show in January.
Fool’s Gold Webstore now open
Today we’re proud to announce the launch of store.foolsgoldrecs.com, a brand-new web version of our physical store. Hooray internets! Customers from around the world can now get their hands on new music and merch as soon as it’s out, including limited-edition collaborations like our Members Only jacket and AIAIAI headphones.
Go spend your hard-earned moolah!
Big Bad Wolf is OUT in America
MSG with SHM: more tickets going on sale tomorrow
So this is pretty big… I’m super excited to be playing Madison Square Garden with Swedish House Mafia and Jacques Lu Cont on December 16th. A DJ show at the Garden, who would have thought? Can I get away with playing some Waka?
They’re releasing more tickets tomorrow at noon so for everyone that thought it was sold out… this is your chance!
You have the right to vote
Alright folks this is like when NPR asks for donations, it’s one of those times where you get to contribute to the machine and express your L-O-V-E, yafeelme? So DJ Mag does this yearly Top 100 list and to be honest it’s usually all DJs I’ve never heard of, no offense. I don’t think I’ve ever made that list. But I feel like times they are a-changin’ and we can break down those barriers and shake up the establishment. Time to vote! Your forefathers’ blood, sweat and tears amount to this: voting for a DJ. YES! You can do it! Vote HERE (*cough* with-an-annoying-facebook-app *cough*). You can vote for any name you want.
Now, America’s Best DJ is usually more relatable for our scene. And it looks like I’m in the running so I need your support to knock this one out the park. Barry Bonds, baby! (He’s a baseball player, right? I don’t know sports.) This one works differently than DJ Mag’s list because they give you a list of DJs to choose from. Oh and I know it’s America’s Best DJ and I’m Canadian but hey, I don’t make the rules… And I have a green card, so there you have it. Land of milk & honey. Give me some sugar. Vote HERE.
New radio show on SiriusXM!
This evening at 10pm EST on Electric Area (channel 52 on SiriusXM), the first episode of my new monthly radio show.
Tune in!
For those outside the US, there will be a downloadable podcast of the shows a few days after they air.
This is a dance station so it’ll be all uptempo, electronic stuff…. but of course I’m going to keep it interesting with the selections, and expect plenty of cutting.
Europe is Next
First came the American tour, then Asia… up next is Europe, all throughout the summer. Do you know where my “A” is right now? It’s on a boat, on its way to Barcelona. How ill is that?
Make sure you check the Tour page of this site to get ticket links for these shows.
See you in the Old Continent!
A couple show annoucements
We’re deploying our troops to Paris! It’s a Fool’s Gold -slash- Macklovitch crusade. Le 8 juillet… Chromeo, myself, my homie DJ Craze, Breakbot, Kavinsky, Nick Catchdubs & Rogerseventytwo and La Grande Halle de La Villette.
On vient vous divertir, vous amadouer avec des beaux sons et des petits pas de danse.
Get your tickets here.
Also, in the more immediate future… tomorrow is the first date of my new Vegas residency. Yes, THAT’s happening. It’s time to take down the Blue Man Group. I’ll be at the Wynn at least once a month during the remainder of the year, starting tomorrow at XS. Let’s get jiggy with it.
