EDM News : Martin Solveig defends his DJ choices: “It's about context"

A couple of weekends back, U.S. big-roomer Wolfgang Gartner let fly with a flood of Tweets lamenting “high profile DJs” who stack their sets with the biggest, most obvious tracks of the moment. As he bluntly put it: “Fucking DIG, lazy ass fucks”. What set him off? Apparently watching Martin Solveig play a “straight-up Beatport Top 10 hits marathon” at the Neon Desert Music Festival in El Paso, Texas.
After the rant was over and Gartner had bowed out of Twitter, Solveig level-headedly replied, “I’m a crowd-pleaser and leave experimentation to real underground acts.” The ‘Beatport Top Ten’ debate is nothing new, but it’s still one that stirs up DJs and punters alike. In a recent interview with Billboard, Solveig was given more than 140 characters to present his perspective on the unexpected fracas.
“It’s very important to any EDM DJ to be creative, to even when you play big songs to play them in a way that is unique, and this is what I do,” Solveig told Billboard. “Anyone who knows me knows this is what I do, so I don’t need to justify anything.”
“It’s always a question of balance,” he went on. “It’s also a question of context. This is very important. I was at that time, when I got called out by this gentleman, the headliner of a festival, the biggest name on the bill, one of the only so-called ‘EDM artists’ of the whole festival. There were some indie bands, some indie DJs, but I was one of the biggest names – with Wolfgang – of this show. So my response was to end and close the show bringing the crowd what they came for and what they paid their ticket for.
“And then of course when I’m just a part of an Ultra or of an EDC in Vegas and there are the 50 biggest DJs on the planet all together, then of course I don’t need to play some of the records that I play. This is the beauty of being not only a producer and a record-maker, but to be a DJ and to be able to adapt to any situation.
“Finally, it was a two-hour set which is pretty long on a festival level when you want to keep the people really up high, which is also my mission. So yeah, on that specific show I played probably 60 or 70 records and half of them are super famous, super big, and the other half are more my personal stuff. This is how I do things – like everyone else, actually.”

Must Watch : Real Scenes: New York

 

 

 

Not too long ago, it looked like New York's glory days as a center for dance music had passed. As the birthplace of disco and hip-hop and the home of legendary nightclubs like the Paradise Garage, Limelight and Twilo, the city has long been part of the cultural fabric. But as the notoriously grimy city of the late 20th century transformed into the sleek and hyper-gentrified metropolis of today, its thriving underground lost its foothold.

New Yorkers have long flourished under adversity, though, and its now bustling party scene is a testament to this. Promoters, producers and DJs jumped the East River to establish Brooklyn as a new creative center. Lofts and warehouses filled the void left by Manhattan's shuttered nightclubs, and a new generation of producers is infusing the city's musical legacy with the sounds of the international scene. But the luxury condos rising along the waterfront are a constant reminder that the city's relentless evolution could easily stamp things out again. We burrowed deep for our latest Real Scenes film, discovering how some of the key players in this vast scene are hustling hard to make it last.

Video : Christian Bale Calls A Little Boy With Leukemia To Talk About Batman

You're going to cry. 

This is 8-year-old Zach Guillot, he suffers from leukemia and the other day he just happened to receive a phone call from his favorite actor Christian Bale. The two talk for nearly ten minutes about Batman and it's the sweetest thing ever.
"The best part about the movie is anyone can be Batman, anyone can be as strong as him and help people and put good out into the world," Christian Bale tells the little boy.
And maybe the best part about this is the fact that if Zach's parents hadn't uploaded it to YouTube, no one would have ever known Christian Bale did this. Whenever Bale does this kind of thing he never alerts the press, he just does it because he's a good guy.

Joe Scarborough: Newtown Shooting Made 'Ideologies Of My Past' On Guns Irrelevant (Video)

Joe Scarborough said on Monday that the massacre in Newtown had forced him to rethink his "long-held" belief about gun rights.
In a lengthy monologue, Scarborough talked about how shaken up he had been by the killing of 20 children at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Friday. He noted that his children's ages averaged that of some of the murdered victims.
"From this day forward, nothing can ever be the same again," he said. "... Let this be our true landmark ... politicians can no longer be allowed to defend the status quo."
He said that he was a "conservative Republican" who had been solidly aligned with the NRA during his time in Congress, and had previously held libertarian views on the Second Amendment. But he added that Friday "changed everything":

"I knew that day that the ideologies of my past career were no longer relevant to the future that I want, that I demand for my children. Friday changed everything. It must change everything. We all must begin anew and demand that Washington's old way of doing business is no longer acceptable. Entertainment moguls don't have an absolute right to glorify murder while spreading mayhem in young minds across America. And our Bill of Rights does not guarantee gun manufacturers the absolute right to sell military-style, high-caliber, semi-automatic combat assault rifles with high-capacity magazines to whoever the hell they want. It is time for Congress to put children before deadly dogmas. It's time for politicians to start focusing more on protecting our schoolyards than putting together their next fundraiser. It's time for Washington to stop trying to win endless wars overseas when we're losing the war at home ... For the sake of my four children and yours, I choose life and I choose change."

Josh Brent Had To Be 'Commanded' To Help Jerry Brown From Wreck

Tire skid marks are seen leaving the road as news cameraman film the area where a single vehicle accident involving Dallas Cowboys player Josh Brent occurred Saturday, Dec. 8, 2012, in Irving, Texas.

A witness to the immediate aftermath of the one-car crash that claimed the life of Dallas Cowboys practice-squad player Jerry Brown has come forward with a startling account of the incident. Cowboys nose tackle Josh Brent, who has been charged with intoxication manslaughter for allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol, had to be coerced into helping Brown from the burning wreckage, according to Stacee McWilliams, who spoke with The Dallas Morning News and WFAA-TV News 8 in Dallas.
Brent was speeding in a Dallas suburb when he flipped his car in the early hours of Saturday morning, according to police. Irving police spokesman John Argumaniz said Brown was found unresponsive at the scene. He was later pronounced dead at a hospital.
McWilliams explained to local media outlets what she saw when arriving at the site of the crash before police. She said she encountered Brent near the wreckage. As a fire in the car began to intensify, she realized that Brown was still in the car. As described by McWilliams, she had to plead with Brent to help Brown out of the car.
"I said 'Get him out of the car,'" McWilliams told News 8. "'You can't just stand here and watch this man die. Pull him out of the car!' And he said to me, 'He won't get out.' I said, 'Get him out of the' -- you know, commanded him -- 'get him out of the car!'"
WATCH NEWS 8 INTERVIEW ABOVE
Although McWilliams acknowledged that Brent eventually did pull Brown from the burning wreck, as had been previously reported, she felt that earlier accounts of the incident overstated his willingness to assist.
“I want people to understand that Josh Brent is not a hero,” McWilliams told The Dallas Morning News. “I keep hearing reports of how he was there to pull his friend from the fire but he had to be coerced and pushed and begged and pleaded to get his friend out of the fire and when he pulled him out, he just left him in the street. He didn’t tell him ‘hang in there, help is on the way.’ Nothing. He just left him there and I want the magnitude of that to be understood.”

According to a police affidavit obtained by USA Today, Brent was observed pulling Green from the burning vehicle. However, Brent's attorney reportedly said that the other details shared with him by police do not match up with McWilliams' account.
“That is absolutely false,” Brent's attorney, George Milner told the Dallas Morning News after hearing McWilliams' version of events. “What I’ve been told is that Jerry Brown was never conscious after the accident.”
Despite McWilliams' chilling account of Brent's reluctance to help Brown from the car, he described Brown as being his "very best friend." The two football players attended the University of Illinois and played on the football team together.
"Jerry Brown was my very best friend, and I'm just trying to deal with his death right now," Brent said, via The Sporing News, after being released on on $500,000 bond on Sunday.
Police reached out to McWilliams after she shared her account with the media, according to News 8.

Delta Airlines Mobile App Is Violating Privacy, State Of California Alleges

 

 California sued Delta Airlines Inc. on Thursday, alleging the Atlanta-based company is breaking state law by not warning users that the airline is collecting sensitive information each time customers contact the company on its "Fly Delta" mobile application.

Attorney General Kamala Harris filed the suit in San Francisco Superior Court in the first legal test of the state's 8-year-old Online Privacy Protection Act.

California is the only state with such a law, which requires companies to prominently notify users of their mobile apps about what personally identifiable information is being collected and how it will be used.

Harris says the company missed a 30-day window to comply with the privacy law on its "Fly Delta" app, which is designed for use on smartphones and other mobile devices. Customers can log on to check in for a flight, review reservations, book flights and pay for checked baggage.

The lawsuit alleges the site lacks privacy warnings even though it collects the customer's full name, telephone number, email and mailing address, along with more sensitive information like birth dates and credit card numbers.

Delta spokesman Anthony Black said company policy prohibits him from commenting on pending litigation.

Harris, a Democrat, is seeking an injunction barring Delta from distributing the application until it posts a privacy policy. She is asking for a penalty of up to $2,500 for each violation, though the lawsuit leaves it up to a judge to determine what constitutes a violation.

"California law is clear that mobile apps collecting personal information need privacy policies, and that the users of those apps deserve to know what is being done with their personal information," Harris said in a statement announcing the lawsuit.

Harris previously reached an agreement with seven companies to warn users about their privacy policy in a consistent, prominent way before consumers download the mobile application. The companies agreeing to comply with California's law are Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, Hewlett-Packard, Microsoft, and Research in Motion.

T-Mobile Will Finally Carry IPhone, IPad And Other Apple Products, Starting In 2013

T-Mobile customers, the wait is over: Your cell phone carrier is finally getting the iPhone.

The fourth-largest mobile carrier in America is partnering with Apple after going over half a decade without America's most popular smartphone, the company announced Thursday morning.

 In its financial statement for the fourth quarter of 2012, T-Mo parent company Deutsche Telekom revealed that T-Mobile USA "has entered into an agreement with Apple to bring products to market together in 2013," meaning that the largest carrier in the United States that didn't offer the iPhone has now filled its most glaring product hole.

(A brief caveat: You'll notice that T-Mobile doesn't actually identify which Apple products they'll be carrying. Most are assuming, however, that this announcement means an iPhone and iPad are indeed coming to T-Mobile. We've reached out to both Apple and T-Mobile for confirmation).

UPDATE: T-Mobile is still playing coy about which Apple devices it will carry. "Additional details will be made available at a later date," a T-Mobile spokesperson said in an email in response to a question about whether the iPhone was one of the devices coming to the network.

T-Mobile customers had watched for years as AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and smaller regional carriers like Bluegrass Cellular, Appalachian Wireless and Alaski GCI all reached deals with Apple to carry the iPhone. Executives had repeatedly explained, as recently as November 2012, that Apple's asking price was just too high for the company to justify.

FInancial terms of the deal were not immediately revealed. In 2011 Sprint spent over $15 billion to carry iPhones in its stores in an expensive move that Sprint CEO Dan Hesse defended as essential to compete with Verizon and AT&T.

T-Mobile, meanwhile, had been plagued by widespread subscriber loss as customers fled to other providers that did offer the iPhone; recently, T-Mobile had been attempting to lure iPhone users away from carriers like AT&T, advertising its network and cheap data plans as ideal for those who already owned iPhones or those who bought unlocked iPhones online or through Apple.

The carrier with the pink logo won't have to rely on that gimmick for much longer, as it appears likely that T-Mobile retail stores will soon be stocked with iPhones for the first time since the phone's introduction in 2007. The company's next challenge may be to build out its 4G LTE network in time for its iPhone launch date. The network is expected to launch in 2013.

T-Mobile CEO Rene Obermann first announced the surprising news during a call with Wall Street analysts on Thursday morning, and the official statement confirming the agreement followed soon after, according to Engadget (which like the Huffington Post is owned by AOL).

We still don't know specifically when in 2013 the company will begin carrying the iPhone, but it appears that T-Mobile customers hoping for an iPhone in their lifetimes have finally gotten their wish.

Nielsen Study Shows People Using Twitter While Watching TV, Going To The Bathroom

 Many U.S. viewers are becoming more active while watching television, judging by the findings in a new report that illustrates the explosive growth in people who watch TV while connected to social media on smartphones and tablets.

The Nielsen company said that one in three people using Twitter in June sent messages at some point about the content of television shows, an increase of 27 percent from only five months earlier. And that was before the Olympics, which was probably the first big event to illustrate the extent of second screen usage.

"Twitter has become the second screen experience for television," said Deirdre Bannon, vice president of social media at Nielsen.

Social networking is becoming so pervasive that the study found nearly a third of people aged 18-to-24 reported using the sites while in the bathroom.

An estimated 41 percent of tablet owners and 38 percent of smartphone owners used their device while also watching television at least once a day, Nielsen said.

That percentage hasn't changed much; in fact, 40 percent of smartphone owners reported daily dual screen usage a year earlier, Nielsen said. The difference is that far more people own these devices and they are using them for a longer period of time. The company estimated that Americans spent a total of 157.5 billion minutes on mobile devices in July 2012, nearly doubling the 81.8 billion the same month a year earlier.

"There are big and interesting implications," Bannon said. "I think both television networks and advertisers are onto it."

The social media can provide networks with real-time feedback on what they are doing. The performance of moderators at presidential debates this fall was watched more closely than perhaps ever before, because people were instantly taking on Twitter to provide their own critiques.
It also makes for some conflicting information: Twitter buzzed with complaints last summer about NBC's policy of airing many Olympics events from London on tape delay, yet ratings for the prime-time Olympics telecast soared past expectations.

The increase in people watching television and commenting about it online would seem to run counter to another big trend this fall: more people recording programs and watching them at a later hour. Those contrary trends both increase the value of live event programming like awards shows or sporting events.

The Nielsen study also found that 35 percent of people who used tablets while watching TV looked up information online about the program they were watching. A quarter of tablet owners said they researched coupons or deals for products they saw advertised on television
As rapid as the use of social media while on television is growing in the United States, it already lags behind other countries. Nielsen said that 63 percent of people in the Middle East or Africa report using social media while on TV, and 52 percent of people in Latin America.

Walmart's Internal Compensation Documents Reveal Systematic Limit On Advancement

Two years ago, when she started working at the deli counter of a Walmart in Illinois, Lisa hoped that her job would amount to the beginning of a career, one that would pay enough to cover her bills and enable her to stay current on her student loan debt.

But despite one raise since, Lisa, who asked that only her first name be used, now earns just $9.10 an hour, or about $13,000 a year on part-time hours. Seven months pregnant, she recently filed for bankruptcy. With no alternatives at hand, Walmart now seems like a dead-end to poverty, she says.

"I don’t have underwear without holes in them," she said. "Everyone at work wears T-shirts that are threadbare. I have just enough to eat and get gas to make it to work for the next two weeks."

Lisa's experience sheds light on why a group claiming to represent tens of thousands of Walmart workers nationwide is planning strikes and other labor actions at as many as 1,000 stores next week on Black Friday, the biggest shopping day of the year. The actions are intended to protest what the group says are meager wages.

The company website declares that "a job at Walmart opens the door to a better life" and "the chance to grow and build a career." But interviews with 31 hourly workers and one former store manager reveal lives beset by paychecks too small to handle the bills, difficult to manage part-time schedules with hours subject to constant change, and little reason to hope for career advancement. Citing fear of losing their jobs, most spoke on the condition of anonymity.

The testimonials of these workers are confirmed by Walmart’s official compensation policy, an internal company document obtained by The Huffington Post, titled the "Field Non-Exempt Associate Pay Plan Fiscal Year 2013." The plan details a rigid pay structure for hourly employees that makes it difficult for most to rise much beyond poverty-level wages.

Low-level workers typically start near minimum wage, and have the potential to earn raises of 20 to 40 cents an hour through incremental promotions. Flawless performance merits a 60 cent raise per year under the policy, regardless of how much time an employee has worked for the company. [Click here to read the full pay policy] As a result, a "solid performer" who starts at Walmart as a cart pusher making $8 an hour and receives one promotion, about the average rate, can expect to make $10.60 after working at the company for 6 years.

A Walmart corporate spokesman confirmed the existence of the compensation document. He said the company pays fair wages while providing substantial opportunities for motivated, hard-working people to work their way up to higher-paying jobs.

"In order for Walmart to attract good people we need to offer competitive wages and benefits, and we do," said Kory Lundberg, Walmart’s director of National Media Relations. "We offer pay and benefits that meet or exceed the majority of our competition in every location we operate, and that includes unionized competitors. We're clearly offering jobs that people want, because last year Walmart received more than 5 million applications to come work in our stores."

Most major retail chains that compete for customers with low prices pay relatively low wages to hourly workers. But as the largest private employer in the world, with 1.4 million workers in the United States alone, Walmart bears outsized influence on American working opportunities: It has largely set the standards for similar companies.

"In order to deal with competition from Walmart, other retail outlets have been forced into a reduction in wages and benefits across the board," said Ken Jacobs, chairman of the Center for Labor Research and Education at the University of California at Berkeley.

The 33-page compensation plan is written as an advisory document for company managers. Though it is addressed to Sam's Clubs -- a retail division of Walmart Stores Inc., that tends to attract slightly higher-income customers -- multiple Walmart employees confirmed that the plan applies to Walmart stores as well.

Initially devised to help standardize labor policies in response to costly lawsuits, Walmart’s pay plan has helped the company keep costs down by capping raises and regimenting employee movement within the company.

This formula has benefited company shareholders: Walmart’s profits rose 9 percent in the third quarter of 2012, to $3.64 billion, the company reported Thursday. Earlier this fall, the company’s stock hit a record high. But the compensation structure for hourly workers helps explain why many rank-and-file workers carry a sense of grievance that they have been denied a share of the spoils.

"How could a multi-billiionaire company such as this only afford to hand out one 40-cent raise per year to employees while the ones in the top portion of the hierarchy are riding high starting with the six-figure store managers?" said Joe Lyon, a former sales associate at a Walmart in Sterling Heights, Mich.

The Walmart pay plan is organized around seven levels of job difficulty for hourly workers, called Position Pay Grades (PPGs), ranging from cart-pushers (Level 1) and cashiers (Level 3), to cake decorators (Level 4) and customer service managers (Level 6). Each subsequent pay grade offers 20 to 40 cents more than the previous level, according to the document. This means that the base rate of pay for a top hourly position at Walmart, like a check-out supervisor, is $1.70 more than that of the lowest paying job.

Walmart Internal Compensation Document

Employees can receive annual raises for good performance, capped at 60 cents. Salaries can also go up when management decides to adjust a store’s base pay to meet market demands.

The plan applies only to the 200 to 300 hourly workers in a Sam’s Club or Walmart -- and not the handful of managers who are on salary.

A retired store manager at a Walmart in the Midwest said he made an annual salary of roughly $130,000 before retiring in the late 2000s, making him the store’s highest paid employee. But those those he hired at the lowest pay grade started just above minimum wage, he said.

"People don’t line up for those jobs," the former manager said. "You can make the same thing at a 7-Eleven or flipping burgers but you don’t have to work nearly as hard."

Promotions for hourly employees -- defined in the plan as moving up a pay grade - happen infrequently. Last year, 180,000 hourly associates were promoted, according to the company’s website, or 18 percent of Walmart’s total number of U.S. hourly store associates.

Half of Walmart's one million hourly associates in the United States make less than $10 an hour, a spokesman told HuffPost in October. Many of those who make more than $10 an hour likely belong in another category offered by Walmart as an example of employee satisfaction: 300,000 employees have worked for the company for more than 10 years.

Walmart points to this contingent of workers as proof of its positive impact on the communities in which it operates -- not just by offering low prices, but also by providing steady jobs.

But some workers in this group describe their experiences in starkly different terms -- as a dispiriting slog through lean times, with little prospect for better.

"Most of our employees have been at our store a great many years, mostly older women who are fearful," said one associate. "They'll complain among themselves, but when it comes down to it, they would never do anything to jeopardize their jobs. They don't know anything else and need the pay."

Longtime workers are especially hard hit by another aspect of the hourly wage structure -- pay caps. Wages are capped at a certain level by grade, regardless of good performance.

A 40-year-old associate who has worked at Walmart almost half her life now earns $19.53 an hour -- a relatively hefty wage for an hourly employee, but also the most she can ever hope for, given that she has already hit the cap.

"After 19 years in retail, I guess what I make is ok," she said. "But if I stay with this company until I retire I could be making the same wage for the next 25 years."

Hourly employees are eligible for quarterly bonuses if their store exceeds profitability expectations. Eighty three percent of stores achieved that distinction in the spring of 2012, according to Walmart press releases, prompting the company to pay out $200 million in bonuses. Since the beginning of the year, in-store associates have received more than $550 million in quarterly incentive payouts, said Lundberg, the corporate spokesman.

But those interviewed said these bonuses -- between $100 and $500 every three months -- were so small that they made little difference in their lives.

Far more important, they said, was Walmart's insistence on keeping most hourly workers part-time, so as to avoid having to provide a variety of benefits available to full-time employees.

The retired store manager said that 70 percent of the workers at his outlet were part-time, meaning they worked no more than 32 hours a week. That ratio was imposed by his bosses at Walmart’s Bentonville, Ark., headquarters, he said, as a means of saving costs on benefits such as medical insurance, which are more easily accessible to full-time workers.

In many ways, the rigid pay model fits into a larger strategy pioneered by Walmart over the past decade to limit costs by streamlining store operations using technology and sophisticated data analytics. But the pay grades were also developed as a response to a landmark class action lawsuit, Dukes v. Walmart Stores Inc., which accused the company of discriminating against women in pay and promotion, according to Brad Seligman, a lead plaintiff's attorney in the suit.

That case was thrown out by the Supreme Court in 2011, after Walmart successfully argued that any discrimination that may have occurred was the fault of individual managers, not company policy.

"Before [Dukes], there were no objective standards for making pay decisions," said Seligman. The pay grades were first implemented in 2004, according to Seligman, the same year the women were granted status as a class. In 2006, Walmart established the pay caps. Both policies "may have reduced the use of subjective decision- making of individual managers," Seligman said.

The retired store manager, who was working when the new policies went into effect, said pay grades and caps made the compensation system more transparent and fair for all employees by denying store managers of the opportunity to reward their favorites with higher wages while shortchanging those meriting more. But the new system also produced another effect, according to some Walmart workers: Those who previously made higher wages quickly became targets for elimination and replacement by lower-wage workers.

"In my store, all of those people making more money got transferred to overnight shifts," said the retired store manager. "They found ways to get rid of them. So they thinned out pretty quick."

Overall, he added, "people make less money now."

Walmart often points to managers as examples of what can be attained within the vast company, highlighting how minimum wage-earning associates can reasonably aspire to six-figure careers.

"Nearly three-quarters of our store management teams started out in hourly positions," a spokesman told The Huffington Post in October.

But the ratio of salaried positions to hourly ones is small. At the retired manager’s store, about 200 hourly associates reported to a handful of salaried managers. Few can reasonably expect to secure middle class salaries, according to the workers, making prospects more like a lottery than a reliable career path.

Walmart’s hourly workers are far more likely to wind up like the 30-year-old sales associate in Mississippi who told HuffPost he makes just $8.65 an hour after three years with the company.

The sole breadwinner for his family of five, the worker, who requested anonymity, said he relies on food stamps, "not by choice and not without personal resistance."

Nevertheless, he loves his job. "I believe in the Sam Walton's mission of service to the customer and that's why I continue to work."

The associate said he is scheduled to work a five and a half hour shift Thanksgiving morning, with another that evening, "just under the six [hours] that require a meal break."
