All About Future Music Festival

Future Music Festival kicked off over the weekend, and for anyone who caught John Digweed's powerhouse sets at The Likes of You tent, they'll know how he’s able to kick the tempo into gear. ITM talks to John about bringing it hard and heavy. [more]

With Future Music Festival in full swing, Dan Coop talks touring curses, The Prodigy and how to engage with fans in the age of cyberspace. [more]

It has been widely reported that much of Franz Ferdinand’s most recent studio effort was dominated by a more disco-influenced sound, heavy on synthesisers. So it makes sense they would be able to hold their own on the Future Music Festival bill. [more]

Luke Steele's grand musical project Empire of the Sun is equal parts "special" and "strange". The music has a whole host of mythology to go along with it, and we'll be seeing it brought to life again on the Futurwe Music Festival tour. [more]

There’s always a bit of trepidation when you approach an interview with a big league artist like Above & Beyond. Will they be in a good mood today? Will they give me answers that consist of more than one word? Will they even answer the phone? [more]

Summer stalwarts Booka Shade may be trapped in “snowy Germany”, but they’ll be scorching crowds across Australia when they tour with Future Music Festival. It’s on such a scale it’s known as the ‘Big Balls Tour’ - a name drawing obvious connotations. [more]

Dubfire’s transformation into a prince of techno darkness since leaving Deep Dish several years ago has been absolute, and and here he speaks to ITM about grand induction into the Cocoon fold. [more]

The English lads vent about Indian tonic water, Border Patrol, Neighbours and bad music journos... As well as a brief mention about their upcoming Australian tour and their new album 'Don't Say We Didn't Warn You'. [more]

He’s got the biggest house track of the summer under his belt with 'Get Shaky', but Ian Carey is by no means a spring chicken to the dance scene. We got a quick five minutes with the man to talk shop! [more]

He’s not the best, he’s not the worst, but he certainly was the first. Or so the saying goes... Grandmaster Flash is certified hip hop royalty, and after a staggering career spanning three decades he’s made a rather grand return to form. [more]

If you’ve got love for what you can found in the deeper, darker corners of the trance scene, then you’ll have love for Markus Schulz. ITM talks to the Future Music Festival headliner about his 'Global DJ Broadcast' from Australia during the tour. [more]

Iconic French producer Mr Oizo certainly is a man of many talents. With several albums to his credit he’s also proved he’s no slouch in the area of film, and it was in this creative endeavour that he took his first steps towards musical notoriety. [more]

Gifted artists often struggle with the duality of originator and maintainer, it's been argued. So how then has Richie Hawtin managed to be such a regular tour de force of techno for over 15 years? ITM finds out ahead of Future Music Festival. [more]

Future Entertainment's Mark James is one of dance music's most recognisable industry identities. He's got his finger on the pulse with the cutting-edge lineups he’s assembled for his parties over the years, and here he talks Future Music Festival. [more]

On the eve of his third visit in as many years as part of Future Music Festival, Steve Angello talks about his big plans for 2009, tells us why he loves Australia, and talks on why he reckons illegal downloads pose a threat to the future of dance. [more]

Unlike some of his former Swedish House Mafia counterparts, Sebastian Ingrosso is more than happy to get on a plane to come down and see his Australian fans. ITM gets the scoop ahead of his tour with the Future Music Festival. [more]

Brazilian musical collective CSS make what they term as "just pop", and here they tell ITM all about it ahead of their appearances at Future Music Festival during February and March. [more]

If you thought Daft Punk’s pyramid was the coolest stage set-up in dance music, Etienne de Crécy would like you to reconsider. The French star has been wowing crowds for years now with ‘The Cube’, and he'll be bringing it to Future Music Festival. [more]

It’s been a fair few years since we last saw Perfecto Records high-roller Paul Oakenfold in Oz, but in 2009 he's got more sway than ever before. With a massive weekly Las Vegas residency, in a few weeks time he'll be here for Future Music Festival. [more]

Traveling Australia as part of the 2008 Future Music Festival, the Silent Disco crew (DJ OD and DJ Steven Guts) have had a few weeks off to relax, before finishing up their antipodean visit this weekend at Melbourne’s International Comedy Festival. [more]

Roger Sanchez and Laidback Luke - the most interesting professional partnership in dance since Paul Oakenfold threw his support behind Argentina's Heran Cattaneo? Yep, we think so. [more]

Is there anybody who knows house music better than Roger Sanchez? By that we’re not talking about electro house, or deep house, or minimal house or tribal… Instead, it’s the entity that is house music itself - in all its many different variations. [more]

On the morning I spoke to Kid Koala, I was number five in his list of interviews so naturally, I thought I would have a tough job ahead to keep him engaged. Was he going to be fed up and bored? The answer to the question was: absolutely not. [more]

Robbie Rivera fans were left shattered last week by the news that he had been forced to pull out of his appearance at this month's Future Music Festival tour. But you can still get a taste of the Rivera experience on his latest CD. ITM meets the man. [more]

Datarock are not your average rock band, and this is not your average interview. On their way back Australia to play at the Future Music Festival, ITM catches up with Norway's favourite dance-punkers about their trademark one-piece red tracksuits. [more]

Hailing from all corners of the globe – Australia, America and Germany, to be exact – the core nucleus of music/fashion/art/performance trio Chicks on Speed have made it their life’s ambition to turn heads. [more]

They are legends, no doubt about it. They've seen it all, been through it all. They've touched on musical elements that most entertainers couldn’t hope to experience in a lifetime, let alone create. Visionaries, pioneers and generally an amazing duo. [more]

Before you think to make the witty remark that Brimingham-via-New-York-via-Sydney DJ and producer Carl Kennedy shares his name with a certain character on Channel 10’s long-standing TV soap Neighbours, think again, as he’s heard it all before. [more]

DJ, club owner, label boss, entrepreneur, musical trailblazer, YouTube star. If there’s anything Sven Vath’s not already doing, he’d probably like to know. And he's making his first visit to Australia in over four years. You have been warned. [more]

West London based house music duo The Shapeshifters are best known for the 2004 club smash 'Lola’s Theme'. And it’s this tune that probably best sums up their philosophy when it comes to music: it's 'hands in the air' all the way. [more]

If there’s still any misconception that dance is strictly the domain of the young ‘uns, the towering presence of a figure like John Digweed will put them to bed. Now in his early 40s, he's just as much on the bleeding edge as he ever was. [more]

Along with his musical compatriot Meat Katie, the UK’s Elite Force is the reigning master of the tech funk, that widely-cast musical net where there are no rules. So he's happy to be called the Godfather? Don't bet on it. [more]

It must be equal parts exciting and intimidating to be labeled as the ‘next big thing’. And so it is for Markus Schulz, tipped to shortly join the ranks of Armin and PVD. But it wasn't long ago that he was widely known for playing progressive house. [more]

If there’s one act that’s equally suited to bustling festivals as they are small-scale gigs, it’s Denmark's Who Made Who. The irreverent trio have proven a sure thing down under, with three tours in as many years. [more]

Surely one of hip hop’s most dexterous lyricists, Aesop Rock has yet to release a dud album. And his latest 'None Shall Pass' is one of the best. But there's no macho posturing here: in his own words, he’s just a regular guy (with an irregular gift). [more]

He’s touted as one of the hardest working DJs in the biz, having toured to 42 countries in a single year and at one stage doing as many as 20 gigs in one month. It’s no mean feat for the guy who also heads up underground house label Toolroom. [more]

Australia has a long-held tradition of adopting anyone who spends any considerable length of time on our shores as one of our own. Could we see Carl Cox applying for residency down under in the near future? He tells ITM... "Yes!" [more]

Joachim Garraud is so revered for his production talents amongst the European dance scene, that at his birthday party recently Eric Prydz, Sebastian Ingrosso, Steve Angello, Axwell and Bob Sinclar all turned up to help him blow out the candles. [more]

Growing up close by the famed Glastonbury festival site, and as the product of hippy parents, a career in a creative pursuit like music almost seemed pre-destined for identical twins Ned and Maff Scott; founding members of UK live act The Egg. [more]

Releasing his first record way back in 1989, Josh Wink has been a revered name on the global electronic music scene for longer than most. Australian fans of his work have had to wait far too long to experience the mayhem of Josh Wink in person. [more]

Not many breakbeat acts can boast a fanbase of artist's as diverse as Laurent Garnier, Hernan Cattaneo and Judge Jules, but it's something that UK duo JDS (aka Darren Pearce and Julian Napolitano) have become accustomed to. [more]

With a brand new album waiting in the wings, Ferry Corsten recently spoke with ITM's Tim Hardaker. Fresh from a snowboarding holiday, he's had a quiet start to 07, but he's looking forward to getting back into the swing of things with his Oz tour. [more]

With his first ever standalone CD for Global Underground released late last year, and his forthcoming single 'Party All The Time' about to hit stores, Sharam explains to Tim Hardaker, ITM's National Editor, why this isn't the end of Deep Dish. [more]

ITM recently chatted to Sebastien Leger as he was driving from Amsterdam to Paris, talking Justin Timberlake, the need for sunshine, and break dancing concerts. [more]

No one was more surprised than Fedde Le Grand himself when his breakthrough single - the criminally over-played 'Put Your Hands Up For Detroit' - scaled charts across the world in 2006. [more]

When you think Global Underground a couple of names invariably spring to mind. Topping the list of progressive megastars aligned with the brand would be Nick Warren, who has managed to release a staggering 7 mixes in the compilation series since '96. [more]

Riot In Belgium are a duo whose reputation well and truly precedes them. Geared up for a huge few months of touring, with festival dates coming out the wazoo and a prized support slot with Soulwax, their new single 'La Musique' is also ready to drop. [more]

"I’ve got a hectic week. I have to play Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, until Sunday”, says a tired and barely awake Tom Novy from his Munich residence. ITM catches up with the German superstar ahead of his forthcoming tour. [more]

He’s been touted as the ‘best thing to come out of Scotland since Mylo’, and he's fast being recognised as one of the absolute shooting stars of the dance scene worldwide. He's also returning to Australia in March for the Future Music Festival. [more]

Hand-picked by Future Entertainment to be one of the main residents at their latest club venture Famous, Derek {K} is well on his way to fulfilling the prophecy of the club's name, with his star well and truly on the ascent. [more]

Ever since he started releasing prototype techno and trance 15 years ago, and more recently electro and even minimal, German producer Oliver Huntemann has been recognised as a top class tastemaker. [more]

ITM recently caught up with Goodwill for a chat. Listen in and get the lowdown on why Swedish classical music will be the sound of 07, and what it was like meeting Ozzie Ostrich's niece on MySpace. [more]

Carl Cox is probably the loveliest, chattiest DJ I’ve ever interviewed. Fresh off the plane from the US, I expected quick, simple answers. Instead we nattered for over half an hour... then tragedy struck! [more]

David Guetta is one multi-faceted Frenchman, with a string of infamous 'Fuck Me I'm Famous' parties to his credit around the globe, 2 brilliant and highly regarded artist albums under his belt, along with his more recent move into hair modelling. [more]

Few names in the dance music industry are as universally recognised or respected as that of Dutch superstar Armin Van Buuren. In an industry where stars are made and broken in the span of a few weeks, very few stick around long enough to make any sort of lasting impression the way Van Buuren has. [more]

If one were to mount an organised campaign within the dance music community for doing away with genre tags such as trance, progressive or house, Markus Schulz would be its poster boy. [more]

"UNKLE will never go out like that again. It'll either be live or something completely different. I don't know if it was the best thing to have done." It's been precisely two years since James Lavelle visited Australia, and if he had his time again, things might have been a lot different. [more]

When it comes to having an identifiable yet never predictable or generic sound they don't come much better than Dylan Rhymes, known to his mates as Martin Beaver. [more]

Fresh after releasing his highly anticipated artist album 'My World' and the 5th chapter in the Subliminal Sessions compilation series, he's set to return to his humble Aussie audiences for a liberal sprinkling of festival dates. [more]

We all know the tune, however there is far more to Max than a well received and illustrious hit. Max is a musician and the proof is in his universal appeal and savvy in keeping ahead of trends and pre-empting the audience's tastes. [more]

The heavens were not kind to Future Music Festival in Melbourne, but there was plenty of spectacle to distract from the drenching. ITM has a round-up of all the action right here. [more]
