Now, let's see who killed it this week.FLASH MOB RAVEFlash mobs have moved on from Broadway musical-style performances in train stations. The most recent one we have seen is this one at the Met. This flash mob's participants played Aphex Twin's "Cliffs" while lying down on the floor with their instruments. We hate to say this, but it was just plain corny.
There's enough gossip going around the world of electronic music that it probably deserve

ZEDD IS A BELIEBER
We had to check if we spelled Belieber right because superfans have that shit on Google Alert and are just waiting to jump in the comments section and correct people. Zedd was on Twitter the other night expressing his love for the Beebs. Even if Knife Party doesn't approve, he seems to be a very big fan. We smell a future collab.
WAKA FLOCKA RAVE
Since "releasing the album name" is considered news now, Waka kept himself in the news by doing so. He has decided to call his fothcoming EDM/rap album Flockaveli Psychotics. So bad it's good?

This just made us smile. Every big DJ should tweet like this. The 24-year-old Evian Christ was plucked from obscurity to be one of the producers of Kanye's Yeezus album, with the track "I'm In It" become his career's first major production credit—quite the feat. It's no wonder that the young British producer had a lot of #feelings while watching Kanye's NYC show earlier this week. He also just announced that his next four-track EP, Waterfall, will be out on Tri Angle next year.
KIM DOTCOM IS AN EDM STAR
The worlds biggest troll releasing an EDM album? Makes perfect sense. This week he told Wired about his new plans. We hope to be the ones to premiere this. Also, shoutout to Do Androids Dance for lurking his Soundcloud and finding this gem.
DEMF IS BACK FROM THE DEAD
After a decade the original Detroit Electronic Music Festival will be back! DEMF, which then became Fuse-In and then eventually Movement, will take place at Campus Martius Park in July, and be free just like old times. Don't worry though Movement will still be taking place in May as it always does.
AZARI AND III IS NO MORE
We are sad to hear that the fab quartet has called it quits and even sadder to say that we found out on Facebook. We wish the best to all four members on their individual journeys, but we also think that far too few people were able to catch the group's spectacular live show. Can we call a Coachella reunion for next year?
DANNY BROWN IS BORED WITH AMERICAN MOLLY
Earlier this week, Danny Brown told Mixmag that "molly's so popular over here now that anything could appear as molly and they'd sell it to you. I just got so tired of taking molly and nothing happening! I don't want to get conned." He continued, "In Europe it's good. But not at home." You tell 'em Danny. Dancesafe would be proud.
