Via Miami Nights...

Here's the first part of the lineup for this year's Ultra Music Festival, which is celebrating its tenth birthday, and is repeating this year as a two-day event. No surprises on the names here, except acts like Justice get moved to headlining slots. Part of me, however, *is* a little surprised (and maybe heartened) that they're pushing the old-school D&B names as a big deal. Rewind selecta!

I'm also personally excited about Richie Hawtin (who provided such an amazing soundtrack last month when FutureMob brought him down to Pawn Shop) and Layo + Bushwacka! on a big stage. Oh yeah, and M.A.N.D.Y. (I absolutelyCANNOT wait until this year's Get Physical parties at WMC) and Deadmau5, who should really be a household name soon. -- Arielle Castillo
