Finnish EDM producer and DJ Darude opened up about the electronic dance scene, his Tomorrowland experience and his dream female collaborations to Digital Journal. He listed the “Queen of Pop” Madonna as his dream collaboration choice…
After Madonna I don’t know. There are so many. Alicia Keys, Beyonce and Christina Aguilera, because of their amazing voices and because they do very different things from what I do, so it would be great to hear what we could come up with and how they and their teams work.

Rosello Shmaria: “How I got to work with Madonna”
Israeli designer Rosello Shmaria explain how he got involved in designing costumes for one of Madonna’s concert in Israel…
A good friend offered me the chance to work on the costumes for a concert by Madonna in Israel. I didn’t take it in. I told her I would think about it and call her back. As soon as I got off the phone I realized what I had just said. I called her back immediately and said yes. There were three other designers besides me; we did what’s known as ‘trends,’ items of apparel that are kept for the last minute. We looked at the existing items and tried to figure out how we could add, change things, sharpen the cut. We worked with materials that arrived specially from abroad, a kind of flexible metal that isn’t manufactured in Israel. The items we made looked stiff but were actually bendable. Afterward, the crew wanted us to continue with them to the next concerts, but that didn’t pan out because of financial problems. They were willing to pay well, but couldn’t subsidize accommodation.

Casey Wilson: I’m not a huge Madonna fan. I’ll say it.

Casey Wilson: See, I liked when she sang that “Playground” song. That was my favorite. Or “Evita.”
Andrea Savage: But what about when she became a British children’s author? “The English Roses.” She had her hair all done up. She was such a proper English lady.
