MICHAEL WOODS' LAST DAY ON EARTH...

Having featured in Music Weeks Top 40 songwriters for his success with Example, Michael Woods returns to business on his own label Diffused.

He returns home in spectacular fashion with his dance floor-destroying 'Last Day On Earth'. Featuring the vocals of upcoming songwriter/vocalist Duvall, the track includes an epic breakdown with signature Woods arpegiators and synth riffs, all building into a mass of snare rolls, rising vocal samples and FX, not to mention the incredibly delivered vocal from Duvall that puts the icing on the cake, and when finally released into the hard hitting beats and rolling bass line the crowd will have already gone mental about 10 times!

The package also includes an Instrumental mix for the tougher dance floors. Hope you all enjoy another great cut from Michael Woods and his label Diffused.

MICHAEL WOODS INTERVIEW...

Impressive is a word that springs to mind when you consider Michael Woods’ steep rise to notoriety; from being associated to all things Ministry, including the kick start to a new series of compilations aptly entitled 'Residents'; being asked to emanate his sound through other people’s tracks; to holding residency at Cream Amnesia; and producing Example’s number 1 smash hit. His soaring popularity knows no bounds and transcends Europe’s dance culture boom right through to the USA – it’s clear that the turning of each of these chapters is a precursor in what is looking set to be an epic novel of booming success....
...
..
.

Hello! Firstly, how are you and what’s been going on in the past week?

Michael Woods (MW): I’m good thanks. I’d just come back from a crazy tour in North America and headed straight to Ibiza for a show at Cream Amnesia.

Your name is out there, people are aware of who you are, but how would you best describe your sound? Can you do it in 3 words?

MW: I love to make music that gets the dance floor rocking. I’d describe my sound as Big – uplifting – memorable

Congratulations on producing the number 1 single with Example (Changed The Way You Kiss Me) – how did you react to having a number 1? What does it mean to you?

MW: I remember being in a pizza hut in Latvia when I found out! I was pretty chilled out considering I never expected the track to do that well. It means a lot to me because now I know people are buying in to my sound and also its opened a lot of doors for me.

Because of such a rise to fame, do you ever feel pressured to produce consistently revered tracks?

MW: I know I have to deliver the goods now on every production but I don’t feel under pressure in any way – people either like my music or they don’t.

Tell us a little bit about your forthcoming single.

MW: My next single is called White Sky, I’ve been playing it out in all my recent sets and its been going down really well – originally I made it because I needed some new material that no one else had to play on my North American Tour, and due to the amazing reaction I’ve decided to release it as a single.

Have you got an artist album in the pipeline, if so, anything you can tell us about that?

MW: I will definitely release an artist album in the future but there are no immediate plans right now – at the moment I’m concentrating on making some hit singles and once they’re in the bag I can concentrate 100% on the album, which I really hope to have out by summer 2012.

Exciting stuff! How is the American tour going, how do they react to you over there?

MW: The American fans are absolutely amazing! Every single gig had the crowd going completely nuts, like I’ve never seen before. I love playing there and can’t wait to go back in September and November this year.

You’re playing all over Ibiza this summer – is there one particular night you’re looking forward to play? And what night do you like to go out and party at?

MW: So far this year I’ve played at Cream Amnesia, Space and Sankeys in Ibiza and I’ve had an incredible time. These are amongst the world’s most prestigious clubs and its an honour to play there. If I’m there to party I love to go see either Tiesto at Privilege or Luciano at Pacha.

How was Sankeys Ibiza – how does it better the Sankeys in Manchester?

MW: It was totally incredible – the club is huge and has an amazing sound system with huge sub woofers embedded under the dance floor, and also had a fascinating light show.

What else is in store for you?

MW: I’ve got lots more travelling in the near future, I’m playing at Electric Zoo Festival in New York followed by Pacha NYC this month, and also Nocturnal festival near Los Angeles. Along with the touring I’m in the studio working on more productions and also remixes for Benny Benassi and Armin....

ES VIVE OFFERS FIRST AID FOR BOOGIE FEET...

This has NOTHING to do with Michael Woods's club banger...
Although, a Mojito in Es Vive's pool, whist listening to 'First Aid' on repeat, would certainly make me forget about my red raw feet & put me in the mood for rockin' out!

Ibiza’s iconic Hotel Es Vive have announced a new addition to their services this summer: fish pedicure for tired boogie feet.

The concept of the fish pedis, courtesy of London’s biggest Fish spa Anesis, is to sit back and have the tiny fish doctors nibble away at your feet removing dead skin, making them feel smooth and rejuvenated and ready for the dance floor once more. As the ultimate pampering experience for our often neglected friends, which we manage to squeeze into tight shoe-wear and get trampled on weekend after weekend, it sounds like music to our ears.

For more details head to Es Vive now.

EXAMPLE & MICHAEL WOODS BAG A NUMBER ONE...

Example’s kicked off 2011 with an almighty bang, already he’s sold-out his 15-date UK tour and had one of the biggest viral track hits of the year with the killer Skream collaboration ‘Shot Yourself in the Foot Again’ which received over 2 million YouTube views, climbed to #1 on HypeMachine and became a viral hit across the world.

There is no rest for man of the moment Example, he’s back and means business. Armed and ready to take over our airwaves once again his massive comeback single “Changed The Way You Kiss Me” gives us a taste of things to come from his third studio album, “Playing in the Shadows”, released later this year. Produced by dance pioneer Michael Woods, “Changed The Way You Kissed Me” sees Example back on form at his very best. Utilising a dirty bass backdrop infused with big synth-heavy hooks, Example is able to lay over his classic lyrical prowess of tales of girl trouble and unrequited love.

“Changed The Way You Kiss Me” has already received massive support from Radio 1’s Zane Lowe, Annie Mac & Nick Grimshaw, as well as reaching #1 on HypeMachine within a matter of hours of it being leaked online, this huge summer anthem is sure to see Example tearing up dance floors and tents across the festival circuit in 2011!

As well as making tunes for his own eagerly anticipated album, Example has also featured on the Wretch 32 radio smash ‘Unorthodox’ and Giggs’s ‘Look Over Your Shoulder’. Alongside this and his new material, Example will be nurturing the leviathan that is Example Live with a constant stream of live dates across the UK and Europe leading all the way up to festival season including appearances at Wireless, Lovebox, Big Chill, V2011, Creamfields and he will be returning to the Balearics to headline this year’s Ibiza and Majorca Rocks.

Changed The Way You Kiss Me was released on the 5th of June, and was named as number one by Radio One on Sunday.

A GUIDE TO IBIZA WITH MICHAEL WOODS...

...One thing that any first time visitor to Ibiza should experience?
Sunset at Cafe Del Mar/Cafe Mambo in San Antonio

...Favourite Ibiza restaurant?
Blue Marlin

...Best Ibiza memory?
Amnesia 2000, hearing my first production, Warrior - "Warrior" being dropped to 5000 pairs of raised hands.

...Favourite place to escape the crowds?
Portinatx

...Favourite place for pre-club drinks?
Bar M or Pacha Hotel - depending on which part of the island you're on.

...Favourite beach?
Beaches around Portinatx in the North of the island

...Favourite club to DJ at?
Amnesia

...Favourite club to party at?
Space

...Best place to recover from a hangover?
Somewhere in Bora Bora that serves alcohol 24/7

...Best place to watch the sunset?
Cafe Del Mar

...Best place for breakfast?
Las Salinas Beach

...Best lunch spot?
Ushuaia

...Insider tips of things to do?
I've been told that the Island is resting on a huge deposit of quartz, which has a natural vibrating resonance to it and this in turn has an effect on our bodies, giving us a natural feeling of euphoria and well-being, for this reason people are drawn to the Island.

I'd definitely recommend taking a trip up to the north of the island as the beaches are amazing there and as you get higher in to the mountains the views become spectacular. There's also the Cova de Can Marca (Caves) in San Miguel which is a must - there is so much to see and do in Ibiza I'd recommend to anyone to try to get some time to see what the Island has to offer.

...In one sentence, what makes Ibiza so special?
Ibiza creates magical moments that will live with you forever.
