The inaugural The Gift featuring deadmau5 (unhooked), is set to take over Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium on Thursday, December 26th with artists like Adventure Club, NERVO, GTA and Nom de Strip joining the mau5 on stage. With several weeks remaining before the gates open for the spectacle event, we have plenty of time to stay up-to-date with our talented acts.

For The Gift’s first Drop, we’ve got two of our duos releasing some new music for your listening pleasure – and just in time for the main event too!

NERVO celebrate the release of collab track ‘Revolution’ with Ummet Ozcan and R3hab

Liv and Mim of Australian duo NERVO are unstoppable right now. From stellar originals like their track “Hold On” to their hot pairing with Nicky Romero on the track “Like Home,” there’s no denying the impact these two have on the music industry today. Always finding the right proportion between studio time and tour schedule, the ladies just released their latest collaboration “Revolution.”

Teaming up with R3hab and Ummet Ozcan, “Revolution” is a track that will immediately grab to get your attention. On their own, each respective artist is impressive, but together – the result is way more than anything you could expect. Though the festival season is over, the trio of acts deliver that familiar big room sound with a banging peak-time energy that brings back the memories of summer months. Equipped with roaring electro synths and a pounding bassline, this tune will be a staple to main rooms and stages everywhere.

GTA release their latest offering ‘The Crowd’

With a vast arsenal of unreleased material, Miami-based duo GTA always keep their audiences guessing as to what they’ll be releasing next. A few weeks ago, the pair unveiled their new monster, called “The Crowd.” Though the world first heard the track back in the early part of this year (and donning some serious online buzz ever since), the full version of “The Crowd” is out now on Calvin Harris’ Fly Eye imprint.

Following the enormous crowd-pleasing free track, “Yolohton,” “The Crowd” proves why the boys are becoming one of the most exciting acts in dance music today. Sporting a gusto of drum kicks, a booming bassline that can’t be ignored and an absolute monster of a drop, GTA have made magic once again.

Still supporting Rihanna on her Diamonds World Tour dates, GTA are continuing to spread their Death to Genres movement to new audiences everyday. We feel fairly certain that you’ll hear “The Crowd” at The Gift this year.

Classic Mixmag Cover CD: Deadmau5

To celebrate Mixmag‘s 30th birthday, they uploaded some of their most legendary cover CDs. Chosen by the staff, the mixes chosen rocked the office stereo and sent some of the biggest names in the game on their way to stardom. Our headliner was one of their favorites – and understandably so. The mix features Pryda, Tsuba, Joris Voorn and a fair few of deadmau5’s own productions, such as “Complications” and “Arguru,” as well as other mau5 bangers.
