It's a mixed bag for the UKs dance festivals this weekend.

The weather for Camp Bestival (pictured) looks like rain today but sunny spells throughout the weekend.

Those coming to London for Lovebox will have rain tomorrow but sunny spells for the Sunday.

The worst of Glade's weather will be the rain today. After that its sunny spells til Monday.

Mike Skinner was the suprise show stealer at last weekend's Exit festival in Serbia.

Compared to a stroppy Pharell Williams, Mike charmed the Serbian crowd (including 15,000 Brits)

On his blog, Mike says: "It is truly a unique place the EXIT festival. Reminded me of Rome during the Pope's funeral if that doesn't offend any of our more religious fans. Seriously, get yourself over there. £150 gets you your ticket and flights and hotel. You will not experience a better gig/raving experience - trust me, I've been to them all."

He's not wrong.

Skint's Andy Mac will join Fatsarazzi, Session, Young & Positive and Addict Beats Collective celebrating the opening of the new Addict store in Brighton.

A Jamaican BBQ will be dishing out jerk and the like (weather permitting) at the 12 hour event, starting at 3pm on Saturday 26 July.

The party is at Audio, on Brighton seafront. The actual Addict store is at 7 Dukes Lane, Brighton.

Next weekend, Dan Warb (left) is attempting to set the world record for DJing at the most venues in one night.

Starting at 6pm, Warb will DJ 15 minutes in each venue leaving him just 15 minutes to travel between each to finish on Brighton beach the next day at 6am.

Using the record attempt to promote green transport, Dan will be traveling from venue to venue by long-board.

Just a week to go until Global Gathering, the biggest dance music festival in the UK, kicks off! This gives our two lucky ‘I wanna play the Mixmag Terrace!’ competition winners mere days to get their sets together to play our now legendary Mixmag Terrace.

With over 200 entries, both Duncan Booth and duo Siegfried Android were up against tough competition but their mixes stood out for their range, skills, and eclecticism – perfect mixes to get a Global crowd in the mood.

Siegfried Android will be playing from 17.00 to 18.30 on Friday evening.
Duncan Booth will be up from 14.00 to 16.00 on Saturday.

The Mixmag terrace is the first arena you will see and hear as you enter the main site from the campsite. So come over and show some love.

The Japanese Popstars have announced they’ll be remixing the Ting Tings’ new single, ‘Be The One’. The Northern Irish band, who release their debut album, ‘We Just Are’, on 28th July on Gung-Ho Records, met the Manchester duo at last weekend’s Oxegen festival.

Elsewhere on the remix front, The Japanese Popstars have been busy adding their electronic touch to bands including The Music (’Drugs’), Grand National (’Cut By The Brakes’), Shinichi Osawa (‘Star Guitar’), and Tong & Spoon (’Gas Face’).

You can see the video to their new single, ‘Rise Of Ulysses’ (released on 8 September) below. It features licensed footage from the cult cartoon series, ‘Ulysses 31’.

A laser show at a Russian techno festival last weekend resulted in more than 30 revellers being left partially blinded.When organisers placed a reflective tarpaulin over the stage at one of the arenas, lasers were reflected into the crowd.

Since the Aquamarine Festival in Vladimir, 170km east of the city, scores of ravers have been checking into Moscow hospitals with burnt and scarred retinas.

'You can see scars on them,' one doctor told local newspaper Kommersant. 'The loss of eyesight in some cases is up to 80 per cent and it's unlikely it can ever be restored.'

A new open air terrace has been confirmed for Creamfields.

Creamfields tell us: "Saturday’s music policy is underground house, tech house and techno, the perfect soundtrack to kick off the weekend’s festivities. Sunday, is jacking house, electro and an altogether mash up to finish off what promises to be one of the hottest festivals of the Summer."

Residents playing the terrace include DJs from Cream, Socio Ritmo /Filthy Sessions, Tangled, Techno Experiment, Habit, Kaluki, Wax:On, Prostitutes and policemen, Twisted Elegance, Plush, Ultra, Super Social, Freeze and Warehouse Party.

On Monday 21st July the owner and manager of Plymouth's club, Dance Academy, will be sentenced for 'allowing the sale of Class A drugs' in their club.

The judge in the case has already hinted that the two men involved will be going to prison. Tom Costello (left) who managed the club was also its resident DJ.

Mixmag will be investigating the case further, speaking to friends and family involved, and will bring you the sentence when we hear it on Monday.

The AKA have finally announced who'll be playing at their 10th Birthday.

Basement Jaxx, Gilles Peterson and Fabio will be joined by Jimpster, Luke Solomon, The Shapeshifters and Bugged Out's Johnno.

To win tickets see our Competitions page. The theme for the night, taking place on Thursday 31st July, is 'The Lion, Witch and Wardrobe'.

Lee and Andy will be back on tour with a new new Plump DJs show this summer and beyond.

"We have been performing tag team style for ten years now and want more from the experience" they told Mixmag "The use of 4 Pioneer CDJ's ultimately means that we can be more creative with our mixing"

The lads next UK date will be this Friday at The Glade Festival. They'll be back in the UK for Global Gathering on the 26 July.
