4. New York's Electronic Music Festival, Electric Zoo, reveals their lineup.  Stars of the main stage include David Guetta, Pretty Lights, and Nicky Romero. For full list go HERE.

5. At BlackBook, Steve Lewis takes a strong stance against racism in New York nightlife. The nightlife blogger reminds club owners that MLK Day is more than just another night to make profits.

I see an industry where it seems that there are even less black people in power than, say, 10 years ago. Racism in upper management, the job market, and at the doors of top-notch clubs is still rampant.
