There are few festivals that boast the kind of diversity that Electric Forest does. Where else do you see bluegrass fans and kandi kids? Rainbow and confederate flags? Sixteen year-old Skrillex fans and older, more seasoned veterans of the festival scene? Sure, Summer Camp and Bonnaroo might fit the mold, but along with Electric Forest, these are rare representations of diversity and unity through music. Just a glance at the Electric Forest lineup and you can tell that it’s o

This year’s Electric Forest has one of the most diverse lineups in the festival’s history. There is, of course, The String Cheese Incident playing 3 nights, but there’s also a wide array of artists performing in Michigan for the incredible event. Funk titans Lettuce, bluegrass vets Yonder Mountain String Band, tech-house legend Carl Cox, critically acclaimed beat-maker Four Tet, and the master of bass himself: Bassnectar, are just a few of the acts we’re amped up on. And that

The heavy hitter, Datsik, is back at it with a new EP for you on Firepower Records. The EP includes 10 new tracks, so it’s really more of an album even. He also gave you the free download option this time if you share on facebook and twitter. A couple of the tracks give me that old UK underground feel like old Datsik music did while a couple have a more hyphy let’s tear the roof down vibe. Check it below. #dubstep #datsik #uk #ep #firepowerrecords #duberacom #electronicmusic

Counterpoint Music Festival has taken to Facebook to announce their break from 2013.

The announcement comes just before the kick off of TomorrowWorld, which has used the exact location and weekend that Counterpoint used last year. Counterpoint 2012 featured Pretty Lights, Bassnectar, Skrillex, Avicii, Steve

Not too long after the controversial announcement of Suwannee’s inaugural EDM festival, Wicked Oak, the promoters have taken to Facebook to announce that it is going to be postponed until 2014. No further announcements have been made at this time. #bassnectar #prettylights #krewella #edm #sosmp #dubstep #datsik #destroid #trap #flosstradamus #rave #edcorlando #excision #ultra #discodonnie #aeglive #suwannee #hulaween #bearcreek #wickedoak #edc #orlando

The lineup at Forecastle Festival spoke volumes to Louisville’s eccentric culture. Southern enough to get down with some country (and of course, bluegrass) but hip enough to party to Griz or Big Boi. There was a ton of awesome music that went down on the riverside of Waterfront Park, and some of it is still in my head almost 2 weeks later! We broke down the list of those songs that I’m still playing on Spotify, because the performance was just that polarizing. The Flaming Lip

If you don’t know, Bassnectar has some of the most physically heavy sound out there when it comes to live performances. Check out this behind the scenes look at his sound production at Red Rocks to see what he’s using on tour. It is an awesome look into all the tech stuff that most of us don’t understand. Bassnectar has some massive manpower backing him! #bassnectar #prettylights #videorecap #behindthescenes #dubstep #datsik #trap #excision #dubera #redrocks #basshead

As we gear up for the thick of festival season, we come to you with some new material to get you hyped up on the Forecastle Festival in Louisville, KY. Purity Ring will bring their acclaimed live show to Waterfront Park as a part of celebrating music of all kinds, from chilled out electronica to ragin’ rock n roll. Check out their awesome Boiler Room set above for a taste of what they will bring to the table on July 14th! #indie #edm #electronica #purityring #datsik #stringch

Datsik dropped a fresh dupstep smasher. Fire up your laser guns. The track is that deep delayed style dubstep that brings about that filth vibe. If that’s your style check it out below. Also be sure to check Datsik as a part of Louisville’s Forecastle Festival in July. We can’t wait to get out there for a fantastic lineup that includes artists like Boys Noize, Datstik, Ryan Hemsworth, Nosaj Thing alongside rock n roll legends like Robert Plant, The String Cheese Incident, Ave

Destroid’s Invasion hits stores on May 7th When we received word that Excision had a live dubstep project up his sleeve, we knew it would be insane. With all the hype surrounding the band, including the single, a slated performance at Metallica’s Orion Festival and Camp Bisco, I wasn’t really sure if Destroid would live up to the hype. However, at this very moment, I am listening to this crazy-ass drum & bass tune that Excision and Bassnectar collaborated on for the album and

Datsik turning back the sound a couple years for the more classic dubstep feel. If you like comparisons, I would say it sounds like some old school Caspa. Either way I’m digging it personally and he said it’s a good foreshadowing of what to expect on his new EP he’s working on for Firepower records. Check out the “Scum” below for yourself: #dubstep #datsik #dubera #newmusic #firepower #scum

We linked up with Excision to ask him some questions regarding the latest Executioner tour, future projects and more. Check out what one of the biggest dubstep producers in the world has to say! DubEra.com: How did the Executioner stage show come about? Excision: The new stage “The Executioner” has been in progress since April of last year.  When we built Xvision, we learned what projection mapping is truly capable of, and with a bit bigger budget this year we were able to pr

Steez Promo & Ultraworld present Moonrise Festival’s 2013 initial lineup. The festival takes place June 8th & 9th in Baltimore, MD. Thrown by the guys who gave us Starscape Festival.  Lineup includes huge acts including STS9, Pretty Lights, Destroid, Infected Mushroom, Hopsin, plus tons of Trap, and Electronic acts. Check out the rest of the lineup below and if this festival is anything like Starscape then this should be outstanding. #prettylights #datsik #MoonriseFestivalLin

Flux Pavilion is one of dubstep’s most iconic producers. “I Can’t Stop,” “Gold Dust,” “Louder,” “Bass Cannon,” “Cracks”… the list goes on. This dude’s got more bangers and mash(ups) than your local English pub. Recently, Flux added to his gnarly list of productions with the Blow The Roof EP. There are the monstrous dubstep anthems we’ve come to expect from the English producer alongside electro, hip hop, and moombah. Give it a listen right below: [soundcloud url=”http://api.s

BUKU released set times earlier today via their App, which you can pick up ASAP to start planning your festival activities. Now we have an online version of the schedule and I really like the way this is playing out. There is plenty going on all day and late in to the night, which is clutch for an optimal festival experience. No one likes getting shoed away 3 hours after the sun goes down, and these sets are going LATE in to the night without compromising the talent on stage.

It’s that time of year. When the Ultra after parties and Winter Music Conference events start to stack up with drool-worthy lineups featuring all of your favorite DJs and 40 others. We are ecstatic to have partnered with Future Sound of Breaks again this year for another documentation of subsonic destruction! Check out the madness from last year…You can find more information here. You can buy tickets here. You can click ‘attending’ on the event page here. #dubstep #Florida #d
