Of all of the celebrity cameos in “Iron Man 2,” the appearance by Adam Goldstein (aka DJ. A.M.) has a particular resonance for director Jon Favreau, due to Goldstein’s sudden demise last summer.

“I was just a fan of his, just an admirer of his work, and it was supposed to be a one-day bit,” Favreau told The Los Angeles Times. “But Robert [Downey Jr.] took a real shine to him, as we all did. His energy was amazing, he was such a inspiring guy and there was a lot of depth to him and this positive energy.

“He ended up staying on with us for about a week and it was just great,” continued Favreau. “We set up this turntable and between takes he would give me pointers.”

Goldstein’s cameo reportedly occurs in a scene in which Tony Stark is celebrating his birthday during a wild party while “boozed-up” and wearing his latest Iron Man armor. The scene also features Goldstein as a DJ one more time, for perhaps his biggest audience to date.

“We tried to make it respectful,” said Favreau. “And for people who know him, they’ll get a kick out of it and for people who don’t, it will sort of slide by without much notice.”

Goldstein rose to prominence as one of the top DJs in the music industry and collaborated with several artists, including Will Smith, Jay-Z and Madonna. He also survived a harrowing plane crash in 2008 before succumbing to an accidental drug overdose last August.

According to Favreau, word of Goldstein’s death deeply saddened the cast and crew of the film.

“When he passed, it was very difficult for a lot of us,” related Favreau.

Goldstein’s cameo will include music Queen, Rob Bass and Daft Punk mixed together in the style of DJ A.M. by Kevin Scott, one of Goldstein’s closest friends. Favreau reportedly had difficulty securing the music rights for that scene, but indicated that it was well worth it to complete his tribute to Goldstein.

“Our heart goes out to his family and friends,” related Favreau. “And we hope what we’ve done is pleasing to them and to the many, many people who held Adam in high regard.”

Favreau also revealed that the film is dedicated to Goldstein and that his distinctive lightning-bolt symbol will be displayed in the end credits.

The name “DOMINO” comes from a typical Venetian Carnival costume, a robe with a black hood and a white mask. I have chosen this title to introduce the first BBDC77 anarco-musical army.

DOMINO (like Xmas Vendetta) underscores the contents of ROMBORAMA. DOMINO is part of ROMBORAMA… DOMINO is a spare of ROMBORAMA. DOMINO is music, cinema & photography.

DOMINO is also a revision of history. DOMINO destroys Nazi iconography to turn into Anarchy… pure ANARCHY. I live in this world and I firmly believe in the autonomy and freedom of the individual.

Modernity is the transitory, the fugitive, the contingent, which make up one half of Art, the other being the eternal and the immutable. This Transitory fugitive element, which is constantly changing must not be despised or negleted.

Collaborative Media recently had the pleasure hanging out with our good friend AFROJACK out in Miami for the 2010 Winter Music Conference.  Check out the video from MTV and what all of the top producers are saying about the 22 year old Dutch phenom.

Article from MTV News…

The dance-music world has a new, towering figure: At over 6 feet tall, Afrojack stands above many of his fellow house-music DJ/producers not just physically, but also in sheer production skill.

“Afrojack is really killing it at the moment — any number of his tunes can be a huge tune,” Calvin Harris told MTV News recently.

“I feel like Afrojack is one of the most important people to come along in a while,” house-music legend Tommie Sunshine said. “I mean, he’s just introduced this whole new sonic palette to the whole spectrum of music!”

From Lil Jon to Tiësto to Steve Aoki, virtually every artist we interviewed at the recent Winter Music Conference in Miami lauded the Dutch phenom as dance music’s most promising star in the making. What’s especially notable about the rise of Afrojack is not only that he is only 22 years old, but that he’s been producing music for more than a decade.

“I’ve been producing for 11 years, but it was just a hobby,” Afrojack, born Nick van de Wall, explained. “Five years ago I started taking it seriously, and then three years ago I started under the name Afrojack.”

In the past year, Afrojack has created a name for himself with tracks like his remix of Major Lazer’s “Pon De Floor” (a collaboration with M.I.A. producer Diplo), his version of DJ Chuckie’s “Moombah” and “Pacha on Acid,” a track on which he worked with Swedish House Mafia member Steve Angello.

“He’s doing a lot of stuff,” Angello offered. “He’s collaborating a lot with David Guetta, he’s working on his album and he’s doing well. The sound is right at the moment, and it’s a phat production. It sounds really good. I think America has really caught on to it.”

And it’s always good to have current dance-music crossover star David Guetta in your corner. “For me, the most exciting artist right now is Afrojack,” Guetta gushed. “He’s a fantastic producer, he has a sound that’s his sound — and he’s so young. I’m like, ‘What’s going to happen in 10 years, man?’ “

Fans will be happy to hear that Guetta and Afrojack have collaborated on a track they premiered at WMC 2010 called “Louder Than Words.” “Yeah, we did ‘Louder’ together,” Afrojack said. “That’s the new track for this conference and on his new album. It’s really crazy.”
