Back to work. A crazy long weekend for most of you ravers — and I hope even those of you who were stuck working managed an hour or two for yourself, to enjoy the spectacular weather. Talking to a few friends of mine, it sounds like the long weekend’s hot spots were the Exodus Festival in Las Vegas (featuring Gareth Emery, Robbie Rivera, LMFAO and Arno Cost) and, closer to home, the beach town of Grand Bend, Ontario — better known to readers of this blog as the setting for bpm:tv’s awesome new original series Grand Benders. And if you couldn’t make it to either of those destinations, I trust our Friday playlist helped to take your backyard BBQ or up-north nightcap to the next level.

Yeah, so what you got for me now? Rest assured, I got some great new tunez that I’ll be relaying throughout the week. But first, I want to pass on this stellar EP teaser from Autoerotique that dropped about a month ago. Each of the three tracks is special, and each is completely different from the others. Give it a taste test, and show your support for Canadian artists by copping this when it drops in June.

Autoerotique – EKG Promo Mix: LISTEN TO IT HERE

While you’re at it, check out the bpm:tv Web Exclusive we shot with Autoerotique some weeks back, at the Chris Lake/Michael Woods show, brought to you by Provoke.

Last month, EDM pioneer Chris Lake blessed Ottawa, Edmonton, Calgary and Toronto with amazing performances. During his Toronto stop, I got a chance to catch up with him and see how things have been. Naturally, he wanted to talk about “Sundown” — and I was more than happy to chat about this massive anthem.

In this quick little Web exclusive video, you’ll get to hear about the origin of what is sure to become an automatic on your spring playlist. I feel like this track is just lurking around, waiting for the first sign of good weather to smile upon us. When that time comes, you’ll find me on a boat cruise, listening to “Sundown” at full blast!

And in case you haven’t already seen it, here’s the video for Chris Lake’s “Sundown.”

Finally, a quick shout out to the folks at Provoke for making things easy for bpm:tv. Be sure to catch Extravaganza Presents Dennis Ferrer at Maison in Toronto on February 10! Never miss a chance to see Dennis Ferrer! Never! More details on the show HERE.
