Rave In Switzerland Has Been Blamed For The Death Of Two Dolphins

 A pair of dolphins may have died after being fed drugs by ravers after a second animal died. Police looking into the deaths in Connyland, Lipperswil, Switzerland, initially thought the deafening music from the rave may have killed dolphins Shadow and Chelmers. But zoo vets are awaiting toxicology test results to see if they were poisoned by narcotics thrown into their enclosure during the rave.

A spokesman from the Whale and Dolphin Protection Society stated ‘We have reasonable evidence to suggest that the extreme noise levels from the two day Techno party severely affected the immune system of the dolphins. Dolphins are very sensitive creatures. We warned against a Techno party taking place in this location for these very reasons.’ The event produced noise levels over 100 decibels, which is of course unacceptable for this type of parties.

and here's the rave that killed those dolphins . . .

Oliver $- Granulated Soul (Original Mix)

Oliver $'s follow up to his massive smash "Doin' Ya Thang" is an equally stretched out deeper groover. Not quite as punchy as his last but there's definitely something about it that makes you want to bounce. It features a wicked rambling sample that you just can't help but get lost in.

SebastiAn- Embody

People say SebastiAn is the dark side of Ed Banger records, I know he likes it, and I must say I agree with that. But I also believe he created what people are calling the Ed Banger sound. When I heard "Embody" for the first time, I imagined Prince and SebastiAn in Paris, sharing a glass of wine in a smoky basement. He surprised me and I hope you'll be touched too. So Me directed the video.

Intruder feat. Jei- Amame (Long Ass Mix)

What's this tune? is a question DJs are asked frequently, though very rarely by each other. "Amame" has been floating around a very select DJ circle on limited vinyl pressing for some four months, and the question has evolved to how can I get hold of this tune? "Amame" is a Murk production from Oscar G and Ralph Falcon under the guise of Intruder. Any Murk production is a rare thing, and a record of this quality and breadth of appeal is perhaps even rarer.
