We are very pleased to announce the launch of Play It Tonight 4.0. The site features an entirely new look and a bunch of new features. Play It Tonight 4.0 is a major upgrade from the last version. We listened carefully to your feedback and implemented a lot of your ideas. Enjoy the new site, you helped build it!

Here’s an outline of the new features:

WISHLIST

This is our most requested new feature! In your crate, you can now move tracks over to your “Wishlist”. This means that you can buy a certain number of tracks and keep possible future tracks in your wishlist. Move tracks back and forth whenever you want. Not sure you want to buy something this week? No problem! Move it to your wishlist so you can come back to it later. Need one track today? You can do that now! You don’t have to delete all the songs in your crate to buy one song, just move them to your wishlist, and buy the song(s) you want today.

FAVORITES
This exciting new feature allows you to add your favorite labels and artist to your “My Favorites” section. When you log in to Play It Tonight, there is an indicator showing you if there are any new releases from your favorite artists and labels. Clicking on this link takes to you a page where you see all the new tracks. You can add up to 4,000 labels and artists to your Faves.

At the bottom of Top 10’s, Top 100’s and Genre pages is a new button that reads “Play All.” By clicking on this button, the player will play EVERY song on that page, in the order that they are displayed. Sit back and enjoy the music. Hear something you like? Click on the “Buy” button in the player and that track will be added to your crate, and the music will keep on playing.

There is a new button at the bottom of each Top Downloads list where you can view not just the top 10 most recently downloaded tracks, but the top 100!. This can be seen on every genre, every label and every artist.

The new genre landing pages showcase the best selling labels and artists within that genre, along with the top 10 downloads and a link to view the top 100.

Aside from having dance music play everywhere, one of the largest differences that I have found with the English culture is that people seem to keep to themselves a lot. In a lot of smaller towns people will greet each other on the street and generally look forward to meeting new people. On the flip side, in the big cities people keep their heads down and generally mind their own business.

As I mentioned above, dance music (mostly house) is everywhere here. Even today I was having lunch in an amazing Chinese resteraunt and heard the following track:

Make Your Move (Dare Me) Club mix

Dave Armstrong

Boss Records 2007-04-06

8:58

$1.48

This is not exactly your typical Chinese restaurant music.

I was pondering why dance music took off so fast and furious over here in the 80s and it wasn’t really making sense. There is so much heritage and culture in England but that doesn’t explain it. People have their own musical tastes in all areas of the world, so that doesn’t explain it.

It didn’t click for me until I was walking down the street in London and someone bumped into me and didn’t say a word. One word jumped out at me “ecstasy”. With such a lack of friendliness and togetherness in day to day street life in the super-cities like London, its no wonder why the feeling of oneness that the combination of dance music and drugs like ecstasy caught on so quickly and took the highly-populated nation by storm.

You will see it in the clubs here in London; kids freaking out with each other, hugging, smiling, laughing and letting all of the stresses and the self mindedness go. People party together when dance music is present and the feelings that it brings up can defiantly be addictive, especially when you are raised in a culture where the people keep a ‘stiff upper lip‘ and their heads down in the big city.

As requested, we have taken the time to work through the hundreds of new releases on Play It Tonight this week and have picked the hottest tracks for you to rock this coming weekend.

These tracks have been killing dance floors for the biggest name DJs in the world for the past few weeks.

This past weekend I played another gig at Ginger 62, Vancouver’s hottest club for House Music. It was the most fun I have had DJing in some time and I thought I would share a few pictures and a bunch of the tracks that I played to share the experience.

I still can’t believe that I get paid to drink for free, play awesome tracks from Play It Tonight and have girls come up to meet me while I play. The girls were loving the tracks from our site.

Here are some the tracks I played in the club this night that had the girls shakin’ it and the guys groovin’:

For the first time, Play It Tonight will be heading to Amsterdam to check out the Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE). The event takes place in the downtown core of Amsterdam from October 18th until the 20th.

The ADE has taken the place of the Winter Music Conference (WMC) Miami as the ‘go to’ dance music event for music industry business, djs, producers and for great music. Rumor has it that the ADE is a great mix of business and fun which is what the WMC used to be all about 5 years ago. Now South Beach is flooded with party kids from all around North America that go down to get fucked up and party. Thousands are there just because it is the place to be and because they have money and they are not there for the actual conference or for the business. It is the wrong crowd heading down south and less and less business gets done each year.

Navigating the streets, alleys, and water ways of Amsterdam can apparently be a nightmare. Aside from this we have not heard one negative thing about the event or the city itself.

The conference features many different business networking events and conferences along with performances at night from some of the biggest and best artists in the world including:

David Guetta

Love Don’t Let Me Go (Walking Away) Joachim Garraud & David Guettay F*** Me I’m Famous Mix

If anyone would like to meet the Play It Tonight staff at the ADE please feel free to click here and email us with your contact info and we will set up a meeting with you over a pint or some lunch.

We look forward to seeing you there!

If you’re an up and coming producer looking to get your music signedl, one of the best methods out there today is to create a blog. Many emerging artists today are getting picked up by labels via their blog. A certain tall, long-haired DJ has been plowing through blogs to find new artists for his label. And it’s working. Giving your music away and creating hype is a contemporary way to working your way to the ultimate goal. And… creating a blog is free. There are number of free services that let you create and host your blog… check out blogspot.com and blogger.com Both are great.

The days of walking into a record label and begging the A&R staff to listen to your tracks has gone the way of the dinosaur. Innovation has taken over. Push your blog. Link it to every relevant source your can find. And as always, persistance is key.

The label heads are looking for you… make sure you’re out there.
