“Every A&R Has a Horror Story”: Mark Knight Remixes Historic Avicii Song Years After Missed Opportunity to Sign It
The release of Mark Knight‘s remix of “My Feelings For You” marks a bit of a full circle moment for the Toolroom Records boss, but perhaps not in the way you’d expect. Part of Vicious Records’ 30th anniversary celebrations, Knight received the opportunity to put his own spin on the 2010 Avicii classic. Though it was released at a formative time in his career, Avicii’s “My Feelings For You” went on to become a wildly influential record. Knight, who was acquainted with the young star at the time, saw potential in him, but wasn’t quite sold on the DJ’s demo submissions. Speaking with EDM.com, Knight recalls he had an opportunity to sign “My Feelings For You,” and says not seizing on it was a “...

CamelPhat and Mathame Blend Progressive House and Techno In New Collab, “Believe”
A sunrise seen from space is what welcomes us into the new lyric video from CamelPhat and Mathame, for their melodic house collaboration, “Believe.” Out July 15th via Astralwerks, the single also pulls in elements of progressive house with a sci-fi twist—and the sonic journey is truly out of this world.

Roger Waters Says He’s “Far, Far, Far More Important” Than The Weeknd and Drake
Roger Waters took his “This Is Not a Drill” tour to Canada earlier this month, where he apparently didn’t receive the love and attention he felt he deserved. In an interview with The Globe and Mail, the 78-year-old Pink Floyd bassist took aim at Canadian superstars The Weeknd and Drake, asserting that he’s “far, far, far more important than any of them will ever be.” Waters’ ego was bruised because no Canadian newspapers reviewed his two concerts in Toronto on July 8th and 9th. When he asked The Globe and Mail reporter Brad Wheeler about the perceived snub, Wheeler explained that The Weeknd — a much more popular act than Waters in this day and age — was scheduled to perform on the same night, and Wheeler was assigned to review his show instead. “I have no idea what or...
