As a record-breaking heatwave plagues much of China, pandas in the countrys capital have struggled to battle the scorching temperatures.

Authorities on Friday issued a weather red alert as temperatures in Shanghai reached a new high of 40.9 degrees, troubling animals at Shanghai Zoo.

A panda was filmed ambling slowly through its enclosure before idly sitting down in a trance.

Pandas need an indoor temperature of about 25 degrees Celsius. If it gets hotter than 28 degrees Celsius, we dont let them out, a zookeeper told AFP.

Pandas arent afraid of the cold but they are afraid of the heat.

Zookeepers left large blocks of ice inside enclosures to help animals brave the heat, with pandas particularly enjoying a frozen apple or three.

They werent the only ones troubled by the stubborn heatwave, with local media reporting an increase in hospital patients suffering from heat-related illnesses.

Chinas most populous city has baked under soaring temperatures for more than two weeks, reaching its hottest point on Friday afternoon since the launch of its benchmark weather station in 1872, the municipal weather bureau said.

A red alert is triggered when temperatures in excess of 40 degrees are forecast and comes with a warning to members of the public to remain indoors.

Fridays alert was the first to be issued this year.

Shanghai's weather bureau on Thursday said a stubborn subtropical high and hot south-westerly winds were to blame.

The city is expected to continue to bake at least until early August when typhoon season begins and the weather begins to shift.

Take part in the show with 'Dr. Amnesia Trance's Hypnotic Show' - The Register-Guard

Cold Blue aka Tobias is an uplifting trance producer from Germany, who recently was signed to Music First due to John OCallaghans belief in him as a talent. His DJ sets of recent times has lead to repeat visits to an ever expanding whos who of Trance events around the world. We had a chat with Tobias about his latest achievements slot at Dreamstate and his new track The Clash.

Hey there, thank you very much for having me! A friend of mine came up with the name Cold Blue in the early days, when I was looking for a name that perfectly describes the mood, atmosphere and energy that I try to create with my music. I still feel this name sounds like what I do 100%, so it was a good pick I guess (thank you friend!).

I grew up somewhere in the German countryside, far away from the stimulus satiation in nowadays cities. I spent most of my time either outside in nature or inside being creative in any way. Music caught my attention very early, because our house was full of various little instruments and also cassettes to listen to. I loved to explore the world of music and always felt the urge to create my own. It started to become easier, when we got our first computer in my teenage years. Music software was very appealing to me and when I got Reason, I knew I found a new home. My first release was around 2004/2005, but the really cool stuff started to happen in 2006/2007 with Shah Music, ITWT/Blackhole, Afterglow, Monster Tunes etc.

2017 is amazing for me indeed, Ive never felt so confident in what Im doing and how Im living my life generally. The most important thing for me is to enjoy the journey. I love what I do and Ive enjoyed it from the first minute. I dont do it to reach any goals, I dont have any bucket list, I just go step by step into directions that feel right for me. Being with the Music First agency now feels totally right, for example. They believe in what I do and support me in such a comprehensive way, that I can just focus on creating authentic music, not having to worry about anything else. Sounds like a dream, and it actually feels like that!

Im absolutely amazed by the great feedback Im receiving for The Clash. I think its a very bold creation, a pure and raw combination of high energy, dark emotions and hopeful dreams. The inspiration is just the idea of feeling what you feel and use it as a signpost for decisions. To take your feelings as a tour guide through your life. (You should still use your brain as a consultant.) In this case it was my experience of some anger which I could use as positive energy to become clear of the unmet needs behind that anger and then take decisions to improve my life.Id also like to quote Oana Blaga from trancers.ro who hit the nail right on the spot: It is indeed a track that drives people. Itdrives people to do better. To do more. To fight. To fight for dreams, for needs, for anything they always desired

Definitely PROUD! Overwhelming and surreal also. Ive played at small and medium sized events for many years. Now suddenly this and some other great shows are just around the corner and its very difficult to realise that this will actually happen in just a few months! Questions like these actually help me a lot to get through all the emotional jungle and live/feel it more consciously. So thank you very much for that!

I guess there were some key tracks like 11 Days, Mount Everest, Coconut, Black Rock and most of the recent releases that just put my name on the radar of the die-hard trance fans over the years, step by step. Im quite thankful that I didnt have some super hit that gave me a rocket start in the scene and then made it even more difficult to keep up with the expectations from the listeners. Its so beautiful to receive messages like I know you since the release of Lucidity in 2011 and have been following your work ever since. I get those very frequently and it seems that everyone has his/her own favorite track of mine. I like that.

I think we do have many younger talented artists around at the minute, like Dennis Sheperd, Alan Morris and illitheas. We also have some nice regular trance events like Tallas Technoclub in Frankfurt, Trance.Mission near Stuttgart and We Love Trance in Hamburg. What we could definitely learn from other countries is the support people give each other. You see many successful teams/groups of artists that work together very efficiently in other countries like Ireland, Netherlands and UK. While there is also competition of course, they still know how to share knowledge, collaborate and support each other to get better and further in what they do. I miss something like that in Germany, where we have more the situation that all the bigger names fight on their own and dont seem to be interested too much in joining forces to reach higher levels. But thats just one factor of many, I guess.

I love nature, especially mountains and forrest, long hiking trips and biking tours. Maybe the perfect equaliser to studio time and DJing. Right now Im answering these questions during a week in a small village in the German Alps, spending some time in nature, far off from the city rushes. Another passion is a mixture of Psychology and Philosophy, I love to reflect how we are, how we think, why we do certain things, why we dont do things that would actually make us more happy and so on

Just some name dropping here: Subculture, FSOE, Pure Trance, Outburst, Dreamstate, Ministry Of Sound, Digital Society Argentina, California, London, Glasgow, Belfast, Amsterdam.. I CANT WAIT!

Thank you all so much for following me, some of you since such a long time already! I make music for myself because I just love it and it feels incredible to know that there are people like you who also enjoy what I do and who keep pushing me with comments and messages or even with their presence at my shows. THANK YOU!

Cold Blue discusses Dreamstate and German Trance scene - Trance Hub (satire) (press release) (blog)

Michael Wacha threw a three-hitter for his first career shutout, Matt Carpenter had four hits, and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Mets at New York.

Wacha (7-3) has won his last four starts. He struck out eight and walked one in his 99th career start.

The 26-year-old right-hander, who was ineffective last season, had not won four straight starts since the 2013 playoffs when he helped lead St. Louis to the World Series.

Wacha and the Cardinals capitalized on a shoddy Mets defense that let down starter Rafael Montero (1-6) with three errors. Montero allowed four runs, two earned, in six innings. New York has lost three straight and eight of 11.

DIAMONDBACKS 11, REDS 2: Chris Herrmann capped a six-run fifth inning with a two-run homer, and Arizona slugged its way past the Cincinnati Reds shortly after trading for slugger J.D. Martinez.

Rey Fuentes added a pinch-hit, three-run shot in the seventh, All-Star outfielder Jake Lamb had a two-run triple and Arizona ended a five-game skid by tying a season high with nine extra-base hits one from each spot in the order. The Diamondbacks had four doubles in the fifth, helping overcome Zack Cozarts 10th homer of the season.

PHILLIES 5, MARLINS 2: Maikel Franco had three hits, including a tie-breaking home run in the eighth inning, to help lead Philadelphia past the Marlins at Miami.

National League home run leader Giancarlo Stanton hit his 29th for the Marlins, who have lost four of five.

Francos homer to left field off Dustin McGowan (5-1) was his 14th of the season and it broke a 2-all tie.

ORIOLES 12, RANGERS 1: Chris Davis homered in a six-run first inning, added a grand slam in the fourth and finished with a career-high six RBIs to help the Orioles breeze past Texas at Baltimore.

It was the 19th career multihomer game for Davis, making his fifth start since coming off the disabled list with an oblique strain. Baltimores cleanup hitter hadnt gone deep since June 10 and has 16 home runs after hitting 38 last season.

TIGERS 9, ROYALS 3: Nicholas Castellanos homered twice and drove in five runs, Detroit scored five times in the second inning and the Tigers cruised from there at Kansas City.

After trading slugger J.D. Martinez to Arizona for a package of prospects before the game, the Tigers proved they didnt need him in the lineup at least for one night to win their fourth straight game.

ASTROS 6, MARINERS 2: Evan Gattis homered twice to back up a solid start by Brad Peacock and help the Astros defeat Seattle at Houston.

Gattis hit solo shots in the second and sixth innings off Sam Gaviglio (3-5) for the eighth multihomer game of his career.

Peacock (8-1) allowed three hits and one run while fanning nine in seven innings to tie the longest start of his career and earn his fifth straight win. Luke Gregerson got the last four outs for his first save.

Wacha puts the Mets into trance - Journal Times

Gouryella From The Heavens gives fans an exclusive look into the life of Ferry Corsten with tour footage, industry commentary, and behind the scene processes

With its range of hi-definition, eye-popping visuals and a soundtrack that will send goosebumps flooding through your body, Gouryella From The Heavens explores the highs of a monumental year for one of the most loved aliases in trance. The film chronicles the massive cultural influence that Gouryella set in motion across the scene with its early sound, inspiring and drawing praise from names including Markus Schulz, Armin Van Buuren, MarLo, Cosmic Gate, Dim3nsion, Paul Oakenfold and Above & Beyond throughout the film.

Why are we here? Where do we come from? Who created us? Ferry Corsten has always been very intrigued by the idea of creation, which is the inspiration for the Gouryella show. We all think we have an idea, but no one can know for sure. The word Gouryella means heaven and his track Anahera means angel. In developing and building upon this theme, Ferry Corsten uses the Gouryella project and live performances as a platform to pose these questions. It delivers an introspective presentation bonding both music and visual artistry that stands apart from any other dance music project performed before.

Telling a story through music is one thing. Telling a story through photos, video and a narrative is another. Im very excited that Im able to bring this documentary onto the stage and take my fans with me on a journey behind the scenes and through the process that is Gouryella.

Ferry Corsten

The documentary divulges interesting tidbits and facts about Ferry Corsten that fans will want to learn. Markus Schulz reveals that his friend hears the melody to a track before even beginning work on it. Yes, Ferry Corsten hears the music all in his head before he even touches the keyboard! If you could put a USB port in his head and transfer it to a computer, the track would already be finished. Its rare to see someone who envisions productions so clearly, while is also able to put pen to paper and bring the music to fruition. He is truly one of the most brilliant minds in trance music and his ability to craft stunning pieces of musical artistry becomes wildly evident when you listen to his tracks.

In 1999,Gouryella was born as a dream collaboration between Ferry Corsten and Tiesto. They made three timeless trance tracks together, including Gouryella, Walhalla, and Tenshibefore decided to go their separate ways after a few years. Instantly, the world was faced with a dark cloud as they had lost out on a brilliant blooming project that set an example of trance perfection. Their productions were dripping in big synth melodies that fans resonated with on a level that would not be seen again for almost 15 years. Celebrated artists like Above & Beyond said the wildly unique and infectiously powerful sound had a huge influence on them.

In 2015, Ferry Corsten returned as Gouryella with the release of Anahera and was eventually voted tune of the year on A State of Trance. The trance scene was instantly transported back into a world where gorgeous melodies stole the limelight with an emotional and powerful drive. With events like Dreamstate revitalizing trance, a new track by Gouryella felt like it arrived at the perfect moment. It catapulted into the hearts of both old and new trance fans alike, igniting passion for the classic trance vibe and sound. Careful to preserve the perfection that is Gouryella, Ferry Corsten wanted to create something that had true meaning behind it. The result was a full on sensoryinspired performance that would take his fans on a journey of divine exploration.

I can tell you from my own experience that after attending a Gouryella show, you will never look at trance the same way ever again. Standing among a crowd of thousands, allowing the soundtrack of heaven wash over my soul, as tracks like Ligaya, Neba, Anahera, Drums A Weapon, Voema, and Dopamina sweep swiftly through the speakers and into my heart, my life would forever be changed. In those moments I felt closer to my higher power than ever before. The music was my link to the mystery of the great beyond and I was experiencing emotions that I have never explored before. The beauty of every beat and the connection that I had with the melody was something that will never be duplicated.

Ferry Corsten reveals in the documentary to fans that he is not sure how much longer the live show will go on, but that he will return every year with a new Gouryella single. Only a limited amount of Gouryella shows remain in 2017, so make sure to catch Ferry Corsten play while you still can! The remaining dates include Tomorrowland in Belgium and the premiere of Gouryella 2.0 at Transmission in Melbourne and Prague.

'Gouryella From The Heavens' Documentary Released! - EDM Identity

Trance Wax - Trance Wax Two The first Trance Wax, an anonymous vinyl-only release, quickly burrowed its way into record bags. It had a simple but effective concept: take a rinsed-out trance anthem from the '90s or early '00s, slow it down and slap a breakbeat on it. You get trance's epic euphoria without the dated qualities that turn modern listeners off. Somewhere between Shed and Evian Christ, that first Trance Wax EP had a slow-burning rise to fame, culminating in a new live set from Ejeca, the producer behind it. The second EP shows that there's life left in the formula, even if it doesn't reach the dizzying heights of its predecessor.

An intense track like Mauro Picotto's "Lizard"which Ejeca edits on the A1could be hard to swallow. But he wisely homes in on its feel-good breakdown while slipping in a Shed-style breakbeat. On "Trance 6," a rework of Freefall's "Skydive (I Feel Wonderful)," Ejeca tiptoes around the cheesy vocal, instead fixing on a buoyant arpeggio. It turns the original on its head while keeping its bubbly disposition intact, and the heart-in-mouth breakdown is the icing on the cake.

Ejeca's version of Yves Deruyter's "Back To Earth" is the most radical Trance Wax transformation yet. He splits the difference between trance and contemporary techno, shifting the original's throbbing drive into a droning, bass-heavy stomper. That leaves "Trance 8," taking on Moby's "Go"which, strictly speaking, isn't even trancefor the record's least imaginative effort. But throughout the rest of Trance Wax, Ejeca makes an odd side project feel like much more than the sum of its parts.
