| Dennis Ferrer Kicked Off Stage For Not Force Feeding Main Stream EDM "Haha @mansion_miami made me get off the decks!! said I don't play commercial enough!! WTF!!!!!" - Dennis Ferrer twitter earlyer this week Sean Levisman of New Times Miami writes, the Opium Group is still unavailable for comment. But Dennis Ferrer has disclosed some more details about the incident on the Deep House Page forums. "Gettin' taken off decks is quite a sobering and humbling experience and one I shall not want to be repeated," Ferrer wrote on Monday. He also mentions some of the tracks that weren't considered "commercial enough" by Mansion: Storm Queen's "Look Right Through" (Jamie Jones Remix), Phil Weeks' "Jack to my Groove," and Subb-an's "This Place" (Nic Fanciulli Remix). What's more, Ferrer claims the club knew very well what they were getting into musically when they hired him and it was actually a deliberate choice to showcase Ferrer's style of music. "It was reported that they were willing to try a bit of a directional reversal," Ferrer says. "It was even twittered by many as so. We had played there twice before, trying to develop something, and it seemed to be working out. But people come and people go and directions get switched in an hour!" He adds, "I threw my hands up and got asked to be off after around 40 minutes...no harm no foul..I laughed..tweeted.. got over my initial anger and kept it moving. "Sad though to see tons of beautiful young people being force fed what I tend to believe is a misrepresentation of the EDM culture. But wtf.. who am I to say what sounds good and doesn't...everyone has got opinions like they have what again?" Sure, everyone has opinions like expletives. But this incident has definitely rallied hundreds, maybe thousands of EDM fans across the web who share the same opinion that megaclubs like Mansion are helping to lower the standards of music in Miami and beyond. | WEEKLY EPISODE SEX Sails GROOVE CRUISE 2012 - DJ Thomas Gold + Chris Lake & Anthony Attalla, LEE KALT - HMTV EDM CLICK HERE TO WATCH | HOUSE MUSIC TV RELEASES :: House Music TV's new record label on Beatport is gaining steam.

Athana-Sia LABEL: HOUSE MUSIC TV CLICK TO LISTEN | | | Adele's '21' overtakes Michael Jackson in the all-time biggest selling albums chart Singer's second offering has now passed the King Of Pop's 'Bad' in UK sales Sales of Adele's '21' have now overtaken Michael Jackson's seminal album 'Bad' in the UK. The singer, who took home two Brit Awards last week, including Best Album for '21', is now the owner of the eighth biggest selling album of all time in the UK, with sales of 4.02 million, reports the Official Charts Company. Adele is also fast closing in on Dire Straits' 'Brothers In Arms' and Pink Floyd's 'The Dark Side Of The Moon', which are the sixth and seventh biggest sellers of all-time in the UK. To leapfrog both albums, '21' only needs to shift another 150,000 copies. UK TOP 5 Selling Albums Of All Time #1 Queen's 'Greatest Hits' - 5.83 mil, #2 The Beatles 'Sgt Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band' - 5.04 million. #3 Abba's 'Gold' is third, #4 Oasi '(What's The Story) Morning Glory)' #5 Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' Adele recently stated that she will be heading into the studio to begin work on the follow-up to '21' in the coming weeks. Adele - Someone Like You (Live in Her Home) Adele - Adele's 21: The Inspiration | | Weekend Weapons: Mark Fanciulli A few years ago, there was just one Fanciulli in the wide world of dance music. But, with Nic Fanciulli's younger brother Mark turning up the heat these days, the Fanciulli boys spell double trouble for the dancefloor. Not content to play second fiddle any longer, Mark Fanciulli has been on a bit of a tear lately, and is about to capitalize on the success of last year's "The Tide" with his new single, "Sacrifice," out yesterday on the Fanciulli brothers' own Saved imprint. "Sacrifice" places a deep vocal atop an incessant, darkly tinged synth line and a highly danceable tech-house beat that's sure to be a weapon in the crates of many this time next week. So it's no surprise that it's the first in the young Fanciulli's own arsenal of weekend floor-fillers. Naturally, we quizzed him to see what else made the list as well.
