Now that our lineup for the third edition of Sun City Music Festival has been announced, you can check back here for all the updates from our talented roaster. Just this past week, two of our European acts have released some mind-benders and club bangers.

Tiësto to release third volume of his “Club Life” series with Stockholm

Tiësto certainly needs no introduction. His exciting Club Life series has been one of the go-to radio shows for dance music fans to follow the newest favorites from the legend himself. Carrying radio show into a compilation series, the thrid intstallment is inspired by Stockholm.

Tiësto explains, “I moved to Stockholm in February 2009 and now spend several months there every year. The Swedes are enormously talented in fashion, music and art, which is extremely inspiring for me when I work on new tracks. There are also lots of great clubs within walking distance from the city center that makes Stockholm a very friendly place to party. This mix album perfectly encapsulates my Stockholm Club Life experience.”

Club Life Stockholm is made almost entirely out of exclusive edits and Tiësto remixes that you can’t hear anywhere else. Joining his original tracks and remixes are his personal favorite tracks and emerging talent from his Musical Freedom imprint. “On this compilation you can hear the influence of the new generation of Dutch and Swedish DJs. When I listen back to this mix and the tracks that I produced and remixed, it takes me back to special places and very fond memories of Stockholm. I feel like I became a little bit Swedish over the years and I can honestly say that Stockholm will always be in my heart.”

The digital copy of Club Life Stockholm was released June 18th and the CD will be released June 25th. Tiësto will be supporting the album all throughout 2013 with over 100 dates on the Club Life World Tour. Catch the tour and Tiësto as they make their way to the third annual Sun City Music Festival. Tickets are available online and in select stores.

Gesaffelstein releases video for “Pursuit”

A few weeks ago, French talent Gesaffelstein gave the world a brief teaser of his new single “Pursuit.” This week, the single, out on Skrillex’s OWSLA imprint, was released and given a music video which is a near great visual interpretation of the track.

Directed by Fleur and Manu, the video is definitely in tune with the dark techno infused single. The piece follows the life of a king and how he rules his kingdom through multiple stages. In the beginning, the prince alienates a princess whom he once loved in pursuit of power. Next, we find the now king using intense warfare and surveillance to control his kingdom, thereby showing the corruption of power. Of course, the video wouldn’t be complete without a cameo from the frenchman himself. We are loving the visual aid for “Pursuit” (even if we don’t completely understand it) and it’s got us wondering – how can we get an awesome gold glove?

Having recently just worked with Daft Punk and Kanye West in the studio, you can expect an album from Gesaffelstein later this year. You can also see him perform at this year’s Sun City Music Festival, buy your tickets today!
