<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dutch DJ and producer extraordinaire Nicky Romero has released his brand new single and 50th release on his seminal imprint Protocol Recordings – ‘Lighthouse.’ Debuted during his set at Ultra Music Festival in Miami, exclusively premiered on Spotify and supported by Billboard, the track has since been garnering widespread acclaim from fans and fellow DJs around the world.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Immediately enrapturing listeners with a catchy vocal hook that perfectly compliments the percussive and guitar oriented arrangement, in true Romero style ‘Lighthouse’ seamlessly evolves into a full-blown dance anthem set to commandeer radio waves and dance floors around the world throughout the summer. Taking up top line duties, UK based vocalist and one-to-watch Daniel Shah is well and truly living the dream joining Nicky on tour for major festivals such as Flying Dutch, not to mention a sensational live performance on Radio 538 to mark Protocol Radio’s 150th show last Saturday.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
‘Lighthouse’ marks the first in a trilogy of tracks set to come from the Dutch maestro who has recently collaborated with disco-funk legend Nile Rodgers for the upcoming second single. If ‘Lighthouse’ is anything to go by, Romero’s musical trifecta will set him in good stead for further worldwide recognition as one of the most exciting and inspiring producers in the game. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">Kicking off 2015 with a bang, revered label <b>Protocol Recordings</b> brings forth a massive progressive house anthem from LA bred DJ / Producer, Paris Blohm. Feeding off the massive success of ‘Colors’, Paris returns to the Protocol helms alongside vocalist Charles to produce ‘Demons’ which is out now.</span></div>

<b><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">Featuring soaring vocals from Charles coinciding with Paris’ infectious melodies that so many fans have come to love, Demons is yet another smash hit from the Protocol Recordings family and its ever expansive catalogue. The stunning creation utilizes subtle bass kicks, swirling synths, and the towering vocals of Charles perfectly intertwined with a frenetic drop. The story portrays everyone’s struggle of having to face an issue in some point in their lives and triggering the demon inside them.</span></div>

<div style="color: #222222; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Alvin : Huge, energetic and dynamic track.

<div style="color: #222222; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">A : “Feet on the Ground” is already a catchy track and with Anouk on the vocals, it just sounds even better. One thing is for sure, this is definitely Nicky Romero’s style as you’ll notice his touches all over the track. With Merk & Kremont on the remix, the vocals are accentuated perfectly and you strangely find yourself bobbing your head more :) </span></span><br />

<div style="line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">The time of the year has arrived where Amsterdam transforms itself into the center of the dance universe. Every October, the city opens its arms to approximately 300,000 dance music enthusiasts who migrate to The Netherlands’ capital from all corners of the globe. This year, Nicky Romero and Protocol Recordings find themselves at the pinnacle of the Amsterdam Dance Event; with their sold-out <b>Protocol Reboot</b> in Melkweg yesterday (October 15<sup>th</sup>) and a cutting edge <b>Protocol ADE mix compilation</b> by the man himself.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;">

<div style="line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;">

</div>
<div style="line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;">
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">ADE and the release of the compilation are set to cap off what has been a very special few days for Nicky, after he was honoured earlier in the week at the BMI Awards for his work on <b>Rihanna’s</b> smash hit, <b>‘Right Here’</b>. He joined other winners such as Van Morrisson, Nile Rodgers and Sir Tim Rice on the prestigious night to pick up his award – the first of what is set to be many for the Dutchman.</span></div>
<div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">The Protocol ADE compilation is the first of its kind, which follows the Protocol Miami compilation from the Winter Music Conference earlier this year. It includes ten exclusively signed tracks, including Nicky’s highly sought after Cygnus X – Superstring Remix, as well as some upcoming Protocol releases alongside other more established Protocol hits. Also featured is Nicky’s latest single, ‘Let Me Feel’, which is currently sitting pretty at #1 in the Beatport overall chart. Released on October 13<sup>th</sup> and available exclusively to Beatport, this is undoubtedly the perfect sound track to your ADE Reboot.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><b>Protocol Recordings</b>, Nicky Romero’s premier record label, releases <b>Nicky</b> and <b>Vicetone’s </b>new single, ‘Let Me Feel’ featuring When We Are Wild. After a successful  debut of the track at Ultra Music Festival Miami this Spring, the Protocol power team should expect their first collaboration to be a massive hit as it has already seen over 700,000 plays on SoundCloud preview. On ‘Let Me Feel’ Nicky and Vicetone’s expert layering of melody-rich synths, combined with When We Are Wild’s emotional vocals, create an uplifting, progressive original that exerts beauty in every direction. With this release being one of the most anticipated records on the label this year, it will surely get the excitement brewing for the upcoming New York Reboot, a Protocol family affair on Halloween Weekend. </span></div>

<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit;"><b>Hi Arno it’s such a huge
honor to be doing this interview with you. Thank you for taking time out to
answer our questions </b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify;">
<b style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit;">You are French and the French are known for
their croissants. If you were a croissant, which would you be and why? Haha</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I would be a happy
croissant, enjoying its croissant life and having fun with its other croissant
friends !</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify;">
<b style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify;">
<b style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #f1c232;">This question is our signature question
what’s the first thing that comes to mind when you hear South Africa?</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Nelson Mandela of course !
The apartheid, safaris etc..</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify;">
<b style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit;"><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify;">
<b style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit;">Tell us a little more about who Arno Cost
is on a non-musical front, if you weren’t a DJ/Producer what would you be
doing?</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Im a big fan of cinema. i
watch movies all the time so why not a director or this kind of stuff ! When I
dont make music, I play a lot of chess, poker or go out with friends or family.
I guess it’s important to have a proper social life and not think about music
all the time. I aslo started medecine studies, so if I weren’t a Dj, maybe I
would have become a doctor, who knows ! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify;">
<b style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit;">Your love for music stems from your parents
exposing you to music from a young age. At what point in your life did you
realize you wanted a career in music and how did you end up in Electronic
Music?</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Well, I started making
music early (around 14) so I spent all my free time in my bedroom making some
beats. Later, around 18, I went to the medicine school but realized it was
definitely not for me. I missed music too much and I couldn’t handle both, so I
quit medicine to focus on my musical career. One year later, I was releasing my
first EP and started touring the world as a DJ !<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify;">
<b style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit;"><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify;">
<b style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit;">At the age of 13 you first tried your hand
at producing, that’s almost 15 years ago. How has your studio setup improved
over the years?</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">When i started, i really
didnt care about the quality of the sound itself. The compression, EQ, all this
studio engineering stuff you know. Over the years, I really wanted my music to
sound better, professional, with no help from<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> 
</span>sound engineers etc. So I went on the internet, check tutorials on
youtube, read a lot of things about mastering, mixing etc. I think it’s really
important nowadays that a music producer knows not only about making music, but
also about making the music the sound good !<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify;">
<b style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit;"><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify;">
<b style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit;">Do you have any crazy rituals to get the
creative juices flowing, where do you draw inspiration from when producing and
how do you go from idea to finished product?</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph; margin-left: 36pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;">            </span><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;">      </span></b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Not really, I just go in
my studio and start a loop you know. I get my inspiration from my influences,
like disco funk, but also pop music like Coldplay, Moby, Portishead,
Supertramp…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So I start this loop, make
it sound the best I can, and then i build up around it. Do the break, add
vocals, imagine the whole track in my head…and then finish it ! Quite easy on
the paper, but sometimes it takes months…</span></div>

music industry is no different, how hard do you push yourself and do you enjoy
taking risks with your music?</b></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I always try to do
something different. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t, but at least I
tried ! It’s all about taking risks because if you do the same music as other
producers, it’s completely useless and you’ll never get to a point that you are
different, and people recognize your music in the first seconds.</span></div>

<b style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit;">Strong is your latest production with
Norman Doray, it’s melodic and unique and we love the guitar in it. What was
the thought process while creating Strong?</b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="-ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">At the beginning, we
wanted to make a 2014 version of Apocalypse. And for the breakdown, we found
the gimmick that is in Strong. It was huge but not really fitting on the
Apocalypse project. So we kept it for later because it was definitely worth
doing another original track with it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Skipping Beats Like A Heart Attack With Sem Thomasson

<div style="line-height: 25px; text-align: justify;">
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit;">Exclusive Interview With Sem Thomasson</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sem Thomasson is a young Belgian dj/producer. Inspired by his father’s musical vibes, he started experimenting with digital samplers and synths as early as his tenth birthday. The pathway to electronic dance music was already steadily set. At the age of eighteen, Sem Thomasson released his ﬁrst record, the result of years of strenuous hard work. The deejay bookings followed only a short while after and the start of his rich musical career couldn’t have been better planned. With gigs on Tomorrowland (BE) and TomorrowWorld (USA) and headlining club nights all over the world (Fabric Club, Club Cubic, Nikki Beach Miami, Versuz just to name a few...) this young deejay is now fully prepared to let the world meet his peculiar sound and natural talent for making greatly accessible dance tracks.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 25px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 25px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">He did productions on labels such as Protocol Recordings, Flamingo Recordings, Atlantic Records, Stealth Records, Spinnin Records, Diffused, Ultra Records, Universal Music, Diffused Music and ofﬁcial remixes for Flo Rida, Jennifer Lopez, Nelly Furtado, Cody Simpson, Steve Aoki, TV Rock and John Dahlback just to name a few…</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 25px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 25px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Not only are his productions of a high standard, they also seem to have an immense impact on the crowd. He gained support from all the EDM big names. His music penetrates right through your body to the very core of your dancing nerve centre and that is something not easily achieved. Sem Thomasson is a remarkable talent, someone who knows exactly which way his ship is sailing, without losing the dynamics to steer left or right at a certain point. You will be hearing more from him, no doubt!</span></div>

was awful’ or ‘why did I do that, it sounds bad’ it means you are making
progression. So in a way it’s a good thing. You have to develop your sound and
techniques constantly in order to grow as an artist.<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><o:p></o:p></b></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: #f1c232;"><b><br /></b></span>
</span><span style="line-height: 115%;">I’ve always been a big fan of Calvin Harris. That guy knows how to
produce a dance track that both works in the clubs and on the radio. Amazing.
I’ve always loved bands such as Saint German, Coldplay etc… It’s a different
genre but it inspires me.<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><o:p></o:p></b></span></span></div>

Rida & JLO that’s a pretty huge achievement and many producers can only dream,
do you think these remixes helped get you noticed in the music world?</b></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: #f1c232;"><b><br /></b></span>
</span><span style="line-height: 115%;">By remixing big star artists like FloRida, your name gets around. It
certainly helped me with building my name. The remixes are just a promotion
tool for you as an artist.<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><o:p></o:p></b></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: #f1c232;"><b><br /></b></span>
</span><span style="line-height: 115%;">That’s a hard question. I always try to put as much influences in my
music as possible. So I don’t really stick to a sound. The music I make is
influenced by the mood of the moment. I guess you don’t wear the same perfume
either in winter time or in summer?<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><o:p></o:p></b></span></span></div>

</span></b><span style="line-height: 115%;">It might sound cliché but the message I try to put in my music is: just
be yourself and live life to the fullest. If I write lyrics with Elisabeth
Stone we often write about certain moments in life. For example Heart Attack
goes about the euphoric moment you experience when you fall in love or when you
hear your favorite song on a music festival.<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><o:p></o:p></b></span></span></div>

</span></b><span style="line-height: 115%;">I don’t really remember but I think the first international DJ I met was
Axwell. I gave him a cd with music of mine and probably my first words were:
You are so amazing, listen to my music. Thinking back it’s funny how wrong I
approached him. <span style="color: #f1c232; font-weight: bold;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="background: white; line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span>
</span></b><span style="background: white; line-height: 115%;">Always play for the crowd but put
you own vibe and sound to it. It’s very important to work towards your own
sound. But if you dj, in the end the crowd have to have a good time. If you’re
stuck in your own world and sound and it doesn’t work on the floor nobody get’s
happy. I would advise, just do your thing but always remember who you are doing
it for.</span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></span></div>

</span></b><span style="line-height: 115%;">One of the funniest things is probably my gig two years ago on
Tomorrowland. I was playing on a smaller stage. The party was really on and
everybody was jumping to the music. All of a sudden the small stage collapsed
with the dj booth on it. There was just too many people partying. It’s pretty
scary at first but really funny when you look back.<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><o:p></o:p></b></span></span></div>
