As 2012 begins to dawn upon us, we end the year with another mixtape from ash / SHLY. For the fourth instalment of the Across the Universe series, this mix starts off with the Swedish House Mafia's latest Knife Party collab and takes you on another big-room journey. As always, we are loving this mix and we think you should start your end-year celebrations early with this.

Skylar Grey - Invisible (Dirty South Mix) -- (Preview clip) by dirtysouth909

Two years ago we started this little project with an intention to influence the music in Melbourne's clubbing scene. Within those two years, we have seen significant changes as the line of music genres are blurred. This year, we saw collaborations between industry heavyweights such as David Guetta with Snoop Dogg and Afrojack with Ne-Yo. Both tracks, taking over radio airwaves with its dance synths and catchy pop hooks.

Nonetheless, we would like to take a moment and thank you for supporting our wonderful exploration into music. As always, feel free to catch up with us weekly at Seven Nightclub (Fridays) and Bass Lounge (Saturdays)

This year, for your listening pleasure, we have a special guest mix by Singapore's Best New DJ, Eclipse. If you ever head down to sunny Singapore, be sure to check him out.

Spanks 2.0 brings you a slightly more commercial approach with a little twist of big-room vibes that we currently enjoy.

And on a side note, we have Across the Universe #3 coming to you soon.

Plus Malaysian heavyweights, Goldfish and Blink, coming to you for Merdeka for a quality music night out.

It has been a while since our last update and with August, come the highly anticipated Merdeka Eve celebrations.

Last year, we had Mizz Nina strutting her hit single, What You Waiting For. This year, we have Goldfish and Blink, controversial rapper Namewee and Playboy bunny, Felixia Yeap.

Malaysian or not, Merdeka Eve has become one of the events of the year. Malaysia has no doubt, produced some of Asia's strongest musicians and disc jockeys. From Mizz Nina releasing a new track with Flo Rida to Pop Shuvit taking over Japan's alternative world, the names Goldfish and Blink are synonymous with Asia's nightlife scene.

Goldfish and Blink (also part of LAPSAP) helms Malaysia's number one night, Loud @ Zouk. The both of them have gone to support big name DJs like Afrojack, Chuckie, 2ManyDJs, Hardwell, Boys Noize, Crookers and Laidback Luke.

Besides the usual, they are in the midst of producing their debut album with two singles already released.

The first single, In The House already getting air time in Malaysia's FM radio. Remixes also include Kid Kaio (played by Laidback Luke), Gianni Marino and Japan's famed Dex Pistols.

Goldfish And Blink Feat. Noh Salleh - Bila Seharusnya by goldfishblinkthealbum

For their second single, G & B teams up with famed Malaysian rocker Noh Salleh of Hujan. First of its kind - dubstep with Malay vocals and we love it!

GOLDFISH AND BLINK - PUTIH-PUTIH by goldfishandblink

Besides their local album, they already have their techno track, Putih Putih released on Chuckie's Dirty Dutch label and some big things to come!

Nonetheless, we would like to invite you to come together and celebrate the independence of Malaysia and, the fact that music plays a big part in uniting races and nationalities.

We leave you with a bonus live set recording of Goldfish's set at Cravesense 2011

Back in April, we released a post-Easter mixtape: Across the Universe. That mix was dedicated to Avicii with the big room vibes that have been taking over our speakers at the moment.

This time, ash / SHLY returns with a sequel to the first instalment of Across the Universe. #2 comes in harder and end with your usual melodies that may provide you with goosebumps.

And if you missed out: ash / SHLY - Across the Universe #1

Last year, we posted a radio rip of the then much anticipated Flight Facilities track, Crave You. If you have not purchase this track, you may want to start searching for it on iTunes.

This time, Montreal duo, Adventure Club takes the amazing vocals of Giselle and turn it into a monster dubstep track. Loving every moment of this track!

Last week, Parklife Australia 2011 line-up dropped. And boy, the acts on show are huge. Missing out playing at Melbourne's Summadayze 2011, A-Trak and Armand van Helden are playing as Duck Sauce for the first time in Melbourne this September.

Armed with their disco goodies, some tracks off their album have already been making rounds in YouTube. Taking another old-school disco, Duck Sauce has turned it into groovy disco track that we enjoy.

We have not done a Friday mix for quite some time. Therefore, today, we would like to present you British King of Dance Pop, Mr. Calvin Harris.

A recorded liveset from BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend, this set was played out on the famous Radio 1 Essential Mix. With plenty of banging tunes and Mr. Harris' latest tracks, this Frimix is pretty good.
