Yes music sounds better when it’s hot pink, or at least that is the case when Mike Callander has anything to do with it. Callander’s latest outing on his own Haul Music imprint hit the digital “shelves” today, with the hypnotic tech house bomb arguably Callander’s strongest release to date. Complete with a monster techno reworking from the MTC’s own Craig McWhinney, the latest Haul release only adds to the mounting evidence that Melbourne is set to explode onto the world scene.

With this years’ Winter Music Conference (WMC) in Miami just over a month away, preparations are being made for the associated International Dance Music Awards (or IDMA). Nominations have been announced and voting is currently underway on the WMC website with some notable inclusions for techno fans. The frenetic Dubfire has received a nomination for best American DJ and Joris Voorn and Gui Boratto have both been nominated for best breakthrough DJ. Also of note are the nominations for best minimal/techno track which includes Luciano and Guy Gerber’s Arcenciel, Marco Carola’s Bloody Cash, Gui Boratto’s No Turning Back, Cirez D’s On Off, Dubfire’s Rabid and Claude Von Stroke’s Vocal Chords – which could possibly have received a nomination for most annoying track in history if such a category did exist.

You can vote in the IDMA by completing the form at www.wintermusicconference.com/idmaballot/finalballot/index.php

In this interview with Carl Cox ahead of the upcoming Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras in March, Carl Cox discusses among other things, his Frankston retreat. We also learn at least two other important facts. 1. A sufficient number of  people have teased the UK DJ for him to be slightly embarrassed to admit he has a house in Frankston. A job well done. 2. Sydney people have no clue about music. “Hard House DJ” please.

EQ records recently announced that quirky French electronic producer Agoria will be the man behind the latest Balance compilation. The ever reliable Balance series went up a notch last year with two hugely popular and highly acclaimed compilations care of Joris Voorn and Will Saul. Both were regarded among the albums of the year in 2009 and with the bar raised so high by Voorn and Saul – and with it the profile of the Balance series – big things are expected from the latest 2 disc release. A look at the track listing would suggest that Agoria has done everything possible to reach the near unattainable heights of the last two releases, but we are going to have to wait until March 5 before we know for certain.
