German house music producer Robin Schulz became an overnight sensation when he scored an international smash hit with his very first commercial release, a lush remix of "Waves" by Dutch rapper Mr. Probz. It hit number one in six European countries and number three in six more, and his follow-up, a club-ready remix of French indie pop duo Lilly Wood & the Prick's "Prayer in C," was even more successful, going to number one in ten European countries.

It wasn't as though Schulz hadn't paid his dues, however. Born on April 28, 1987 in Osnabrück, he began DJing at the tender age of 17, influenced by the likes of Richie Hawtin, Sven Väth, Armand van Helden, and Tiësto. By 20 he had his own club night, which he ran for two years before the yen to make his own music led him into production. He experimented for several years before beginning to upload his tracks to YouTube, where his melodic, bouncy pop-house sound earned him millions of views.

After the success of his first two singles, his third, "Willst Du" ("Do You Want To"), a remix of a satirical track by German rapper Alligatoah, was released in September 2014, and his debut album, Prayer, followed later that month. Having made his name with remixes, Schulz was not about to mess with the formula, and the album consisted almost entirely of his remixes of other artists' songs, with only a few original productions. ~ John D.

THE SHOWDOWN AT SANDS

China’s Olympic-hero-turned-pro is stepping back into the ring to put on an exciting show for his legion of fans as he attempts to win his first-ever world title. Celebrated amateur boxer and three-time Olympic medallist ZOU SHIMING is putting his undefeated pro record on the line to challenge undefeated International Boxing Federation (IBF) flyweight world champion AMNAT RUENROENG March 7 at The Venetian® Macao’s Cotai Arena. Tickets for The Showdown at Sands: Zou Shiming vs. Amnat Ruenroeng are on sale now via Cotai Ticketing™.

The exciting matchup comes less than two years after Zou’s pro debut and is only his seventh professional fight. This milestone fight for Zou (6-0, 1 KO) pits him against a boxer he faced three times as an amateur – losing on his first attempt, but winning in their last two contests. Now they meet in the ring again for the first time since each fighter went pro, providing a compelling back story heightening the drama of the must-see showdown. The stakes are high for both undefeated pros, with Ruenroeng (14-0, 5 KOs) looking to make his third successful defence of his IBF world flyweight title and Zou eager to prove he’s ready to join the ranks of professional boxing’s world champions. But to do it, Zou will have to face a fighter with twice as many professional fights under his belt and who has thus far shown a higher potential for scoring knockouts.   

Their battle is the headline attraction of The Showdown at Sands: Zou Shiming vs. Amnat Ruenroeng, a multi-bout world championship boxing event promoted by Top Rank® and Sands China Ltd., in association with Tecate. The colossal confrontation takes place Saturday, March 7, 2015, at 5:30 p.m. at The Venetian Macao's Cotai Arena. 
   
In addition to the main event, boxing fans will also get to see undercard bouts including an IBF light welterweight title eliminator between unbeaten Chinese puncher Ik Yang (18-0-0-1, 13 KOs) and Thailand’s Patomsuk Pathompothong (30-2-1, 18 KOs), as well as an NABO junior middleweight title contest between Australian fighter Daniel Dawson (40-4-1, 26 KOs) and American boxer Glen Tapia (22-1, 14 KOs). Also fighting in separate bouts is the duo of local favourites – undefeated super welterweight prospect “The Macao Kid” Ng Kuok Kun (6-0, 2 KOs) and Hong Kong’s undefeated Top-Five super flyweight contender Rex “The Wonder Kid” Tso (15-0, 9 KOs), who will be fighting for the vacant WBA international super flyweight title.

Tell us a little bit about how you got started DJing. Who was your biggest inspiration?
I was really lucky, back in early 2000 there were lots hip hop parties and underground electronic music events going on in Taipei,  my first party experince is Derrick May, feel the magic of dj performance. Then I took private DJ lessons and went to local legends like DJ Chicano, DJ Mykal's parties. Around 2004 DJ Ta-shi (Japan) came to Taiwan for Vestax DJ competition judge, I saw his performance mix with turntablist and very dope original sampling skills, I decide turn to pro DJ. Ta-shi is one of best hip hop/club DJ ever, always brings an amazing set.

Will this be your first time in Macao?  Is there anything that you are looking forward to doing or seeing in particular?
No, this is about the 6th time I've been in Macau. I heard Macau Tower has the highest bungy jump?
