Last week, Above and Beyond announced the greatly anticipated destination of #ABGT100 which takes place on October 18th. Unfortunately for anybody outside of New York, you’ll have to wait one hundred more episodes for your chance at experiencing this once in a lifetime event.

Madison Square Garden is the venue, big whoop. Real clever location A & B. However, it should be a nice paycheck at the end of the month for the legendary English trio. The pre sale ticket code can be found here: www.aboveandbeyond.nu/abgt100/

Group Therapy 076 is officially in the books, and once again the men from Above and Beyond have provided two hours of smashing hits across various universal sub-genres. With new music from Andrew Bayer, Rafael Frost and Audien as well as a guest mix by Shingo Nakamura, Group Therapy 076 lives up to the hype once again. Find the track list after the break, and don’t forget to support the musicians through SoundCloud, Facebook and Twitter.

Spring Is Overrated: This Playlist However Is Not [Post-Spring Pre-Summer Mixtape Volume 43]

Dear (Mother) Nature,

We respectfully write to you regarding the current state of weather patterns across the greater Midwest. Don’t worry about the rest of the U.S., you’ve already done enough for them. Because let’s be honest here for a moment: you kind of screwed us in terms of landscape. All we have are corn fields, evergreen trees and some lake water to hold us over. Look at the rest of them with their oceans and beaches and mountains and deserts. LIKE WE EVEN WANT ANY OF THAT BEAUTIFUL GRANDEUR!

Let’s wrap this up before I start sweating. Here’s the deal:

We get it. You’re all powerful, all mighty, all righteous and all over my social media feed. We surrender to you, O’ sweet and sensitive Mother! Now give us what is owed to us (warmth through the Sun) and we won’t have to get physical. Or in your case, environmental.

EVER HEARD OF THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT!? That’s what I thought.

Best Regards,

The Human Race

Now that we got that out of the way and you just wasted a couple minutes (depending on your reading speed) of your precious time reading a personal letter to a personified spirit (what is this, Pocahontas?), here’s ten songs to lift you out of that miserable excuse of existence you call life.

1. Progressive trance at it’s finest. When will somebody pick up on Audien?

2. DAFT PUNK. DAFT PUNK. PAFT DUNK. DJ HANSEL.

3. Did someone say, Dillon Francis? No? Nobody? Man, I gotta get some fuckin’ friends…

4. Sadly, I can’t take credit for discovering Electrocisum. He was featured here:

5. Dash Berlin, it’s been too long. What a return to the throne.

6. Can Michael Woods produce a bad song? Is he capable? I don’t think so, and I don’t care what you think. So there.

7. It will be interesting to hear the feedback on Tiesto’s latest track. Can you say, mainstream? /ˈmeɪnˌstriːm/ There, you said it! Way to go! +1 gold star.
