Long Time Coming - Merry Christmas!!!

Sup?

MERRY CHRISTMAS!! And I wanna wish you all a very Happy New Year too from us at STT.

It's been a while since my last and a lot has happened since then. I had what seemed like an endless month of academic torture during which I barely kept track of the music scene. And after that I've just not gotten back into a routine.

I do however have a lot of good stuff to put up and a lot of people have been on my back to do a post so I decided to get on it and give you guys a Christmas and year ending gift.

I'm sure all of you'll have noticed the new look to the blog and I quite frankly do not really dig it. Its the new template and shit. Still working our way around it so be patient. We'll be rolling out the new much needed look soon enough.

Here goes with the music. I'm not saying much bout each track. You'll have to just trust me with them -

Open Your Eyes (Original Mix) - Alex Metric & Steve Agnello

Alive - Dirty South & Thomas Gold ft Kate Elsworth

To The Starz (Break The Noize & The Autobots Remix) - Modestep

I love this track Be There 4 You by Kyau & Albert. Above & Beyond took it one step ahead by mashing it with Daft Punk's One More Time. Check it out.

Sunburn Predictions

Hello peeps,

I'm Tanmay and I will be adding to this blog with my nom-de-plume, TJ. So watch out for me. I like dubstep and progressive house. Sorry, I'm awkward with introductions. So, time to roll.

It has effectively been around 315 days since Sunburn left us high and dry last year. We have all had our share of speculation as to who may come this year. So, unlike all you people who ran on idle speculation, we decided to scientifically increase our chances to get it right. We will show you how.

• The Headliner should obviously be on the Top 10 list of any DJ Magazine (We assumed DJ Mag).
• Guessing that Above & Beyond have already been signed up, this particular artist (the mysterious headliner) should feature above them in the rankings. Since it's Day 3 and all.
• That just made our life easier: David Guetta, Armin van Buuren, Tiesto, Deadmau5. These are our prime candidates, anyone would agree to that, eh?

Here comes the fun part:

• David Guetta will be performing in Guaruja, Brazil on the 29th of December, so it's safe to extinguish that bit.
• Armin van Burren will be performing in Bangkok on the 11th of December and in Lebanon on the 30th. There is a massive chance that he may headline again. But, we still don't think that it will be him, obviously because Sunburn may look at someone new this year.
• As for Tiesto, he's performing in Toronto on the 26th and Dallas on the 30th. So unless he wants to travel halfway around the world and back in such a short span of time, there is still half a chance.
• Deadmau5. He's never come to India, let alone Sunburn. I, personally, have been dreaming of seeing him on stage and leaving possession of my worldly belongings soon after. But here's that glimmer of hope. He will be touring South Africa in the first week of December, then onto Abu Dhabi and then the UK till the second week. But here's that glimmer, there is a four day window between the 27th when he performs in Canada and 31st when he performs in New York. Now if, he can fly to India on the 28th and chill around and drink some Kings beer, he should be able to perform on the 29th. Same as Tiesto then.

Artists of Note:

• Skrillex, Avicii, Swedish House Mafia both, have an empty slot during that time.

So our take (in order of possibility):

1. Deadmau5, only because he's not come to India or Sunburn yet. Plus we love him.
2. Tiesto, only because he hasn't come for Sunburn yet. And my, would he fit in!
3. Armin van Buuren, since he happens to be touring our neighbouring countries at that time. But he's lower down the order since he's already performed here.
4. Swedish House Mafia, big enough name now to perform as headliners.
5. Skrillex, we were hoping we'd get Skrillex and Deadmau5 as part and parcel of Mau5trap Records on the "Ek pe ek free" offer going on right now, but anything can happen, since his slot is empty too. (NOTE: They usually roll together, plus they're both probably available. Als remember, that there isn't any noteworthy dubstep artist announced yet)
6. Avicii has a similar Vancouver(26th)-New York(31st) situation, but if we can put our money on Deadmau5, we can put it on him too.
7. David Guetta, not happening.

Future Podcasts And The Sunburn Lineup!

So we have always been thinking of breaking this blog out of the normalcy it has been going through. Hence the very drastic changes. It's still in beta testing mode. A lot of stuff is, actually. We're experimenting with many things with every spare minute we get - thus the staccato-like updates.

We're thinking of putting together a podcast every week. Sort of an amalgamation of all genres or just one. Millions of podcasts come out every week but it isn't always the perfect playlist. So we're going to try to get you the perfect playlist of the latest stuff that drops every week. That's in beta mode too - so bear with us. It'll be worth the wait. I promise :)

On another note, the Sunburn Day 1 & 2 lineup is out! The minute I saw Above & Beyond announced first, I knew these guys have something MAJORLY, MAJOR planned this year. You always save the best for last. And I'm pretty sure, Above & Beyond is not the only bunny in the magician's hat. Getting Above & Beyond is HUGE enough. Personally, I got a mini heart attack when I saw their name flash. The heart attack was followed by a huge inhale when I saw Pete Tong's name next. What exactly are they trying to do here, I wondered. Kill me in the first few seconds of the video? The gasps got louder as Gabriel & Dresden, Tocadisco & Jerome Isma-ae followed suit.

I started doing my dyslexic math. After much calculation, the monstrosity of 90 artists hit me. The magnitude of 7 stages hit me. It's going to be twice as large this year! And I just know that the Day 3 lineup is what they have reserved like nukes to blow us away. While Skazi and Laughing Buddha are great psy artists, they can't be the only ones that we're going to be screaming our lungs out for. I can feel it.

And hello, 90 artists without any Dubstep to the mix would hardly concoct the perfect Sunburn lineup. Surprises are coming our way and December seems to be getting closer!

CANNOT. WAIT.

What are your predictions for Day 3?

To be honest, my gut really says Deadmau5 with Skrillex in tow. Tiësto, even! I'm totally tripping on Maximal Crazy. I will die happy if I hear that live. Hey, you never know :).

Leave us a comment if you want to meet up this December!

P.S - We turn TWO today! Happy Birthday to us! For everyone that has been a part of our love for music, YOU ARE AWESOME!
