Electric Forest: Our Third Year In Review

Electric Forest is a very special place to us. Two years ago, we worked our first Forest, and I watched the String Cheese Incident three nights in a row from the side of the stage, forever changing what I think about music, particularly the live performance of music. The past couple years have brought along some incredible other acts as well…The double-dose of STS9 in 2012 was jaw-dropping. Thievery Corporation was unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. I’ve watched The Polis

Porter Robinson’s Newest Essential Mix Is Epic…

Porter Robinson & Zedd going b2b at Camp Bisco 2012 Porter Robinson’s name has become synonymous with the EDM culture. The “electro prodigy” is best known for his trance-electro hybrids along with relationships with characters like Tiesto and Deadmau5. His previously released songs are nothing to write home about in 2014, in my opinion at least. So when Porter releases a new essential mix, I’m expecting it to sound like a peak-hour EDC main stage set…but boy was I wrong. “But

Festival Recap: Sónar Barcelona 2014

Sonar: Photo Courtesy of Sonar Music Festival So Sónar Barcelona is officially over, and I only know one thing for certain: Barcelona knows how to throw one hell of a party. From the time I touched down in the city, Sónar was very much alive in the form of posters and billboard ads covering local stores and metro stations. The festival was split into two locations: Sónar by Day at Fira Montjuïc (which also included the Sonar+D area) and Sónar by Night at Fira Gran Via L’Hospi

Counterpoint Preview: Sneak Peak of the New Venue

Let’s take a look at the new Counterpoint Festival venue at Kingston Downs in Rome, Georgia. Located 15 minutes north of Atlanta, this seems like a very beautiful southern spot for some good music and great vibes. The site looks like a mix between the Lockn’ grounds, with its foundation in horse-racing, and the original Counterpoint venue. These photos are breathtaking and I have no doubts that the organizers will do a phenomenal job with the 2014 festival just like they did

SnowGlobe Announces 2014 NYE Lineup

SnowGlobe announced its 2014 New Years Eve lineup via Facebook. The lineup rivals any other EDM NYE event out there, if not surpasses them. With big time stars like Kaskade, Tiesto, Snoop Dogg and Zeds Dead alongside underground up-and-comers like Kastle, Cashmere Cat, Justin Martin and Polish Ambassador. Personally, I recommend checking out Exmag, Bixel Boys, Justin Jay, and Kastle if you are unfamiliar with their body of work. Tickets for the event are on sale now. #2014 #S

NEW MUSIC: Feed Me – Rat Trap [Trap, Bass]

I don’t know what it is about a trap track that can still garner my attention these days. I honestly can’t put my finger on it. I think it’s a certain sense of minimalism, a good melody and certainly free of cheesy samples and redundancy. Feed Me has proven that the trap fad can still yield some interesting tunes. They don’t all have Juicy J samples or anything that says “ratchet” or “twerk.” Sometimes it’s just some head-bobbin’ bass music to groove to. #edm #tomorrowworld #

Album Review: Kaskade’s ‘Atmosphere’

Good news for “freaks” everywhere, Kaskade’s new album Atmosphere officially dropped today, and to no surprise it’s already reached #6 on iTunes’ Top Albums. Like his former album Fire & Ice, Ryan Raddon, better known as Kaskade, succeeded in creating an eclectic arrangement of tracks that follow no specific genre guidelines. From big room progressive house, to deep house, to minimal instrumental, Kaskade proves that he really can do it all. “Why Ask Why” features the members

Electric Zoo Cancelled Today Due to Drug-Related Deaths

“The City recommended cancellation and the event promoters have agreed. The Electric Zoo organizers have worked with City officials to reduce health risks at this event, but in view of these occurrences, the safest course is to cancel the remaining day of the event,” says a statement from NYPD officials and NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg. Electric Zoo’s website looks something like this: Apparently, two patrons died yesterday of an MDMA overdose. I’m sure it’s a devastating day

SHOW PREVIEW: Flume Makes His Orlando Debut

Australia’s Flume is making his Orlando debut early next month, and we’re very excited to have some fresh electronic music injected to our scene that is usually flooded by cookie-cutter bullshit artists that are not so cool to us. After listening to this dude for about a year, we got to see him at HARD Miami and let me tell you, he puts on quite a show. We had the opportunity to chat with him at Boiler Room Miami and he’s a cool kid too, so we’re totally supporting the crap o

GRiZ seems to be the man these days! And I’m really feelin’ how they did this music video. Most video concepts are tired and I find myself surfin’ the web or reading a magazine while they play, but this one combines the feel of a mini-documentary and keeps it fresh and interesting. Big ups to GRiZ for all the recent success he’s seen. We see you dawg. #prettylights #edm #funk #glitch #biggigantic #music #colorado #soul #GRiZ #hop #boulder #paperdiamond #electro #redrocks #hip

Did you know that Skrillex used to make Pretty Lights Music?

When I came across this article today, I was shocked to see that Skrillex used to make music so similar to that of Pretty Lights, under the name Twipz. He didn’t make it for Pretty Lights Music, the label, but this definitely has that future-soul-hippity-hoppity-retro stuff Pretty Lights is always blathering about when we see him live! Don’t believe me? Check it out… The vocal samples and hip-hop beat Skrillex uses seem quite similar to that of Mr. Derek Vincent Smith or Mich

NEW MUSIC: Jack Beats – OWSLA After Dark Part 1 [Deep House, Techno, Bass]

One of my favorite DJs, Jack Beats, has just had a brand new mixtape unleashed via OWSLA’s NEST. OWSLA’s After Dark series is a new 60-minute show on Mistajam’s BBC Radio 1xtra. The show will see Skrillex, his label and his friends deliver unique sets over the airwaves, and I assume most of the sets will be released on the NEST. Jack Beats deep, bass-driven, house music is among my favorite electronic stuff being released currently. I constantly play his stuff when I DJ and h

NEW MUSIC: Meaux Green – Grindin’ On Acid [Trap, Twerk, Free Download]

Am I happy that “twerk” is actually a genre name now? No. But does it yield some fire dance tunes? You bet your sweet, twerkin’ ass it does. Meaux Green just delivered this ill dance tune, which combines the drums from Clipse’s legendary “Grindin” with more modern club sounds. It’s a free download, and a sweet track, so you can’t be mad at something this ballin’.

Catch a Sneak Peak of Pretty Lights’ LIVE Stage Set-up

We found this on Instagram just about an hour ago. It appears like Mr. Pretty Lights has something very VERY special up his sleeve for Red Rocks this weekend…and perhaps for the entirety of his upcoming tour. While his appearance on Conan O’Brien’s show hinted that this was the future of Pretty Lights live show, it is insane to see it come to fruition. As a Florida boy, all I can do is hope he brings this 6-or-so person band to the BassLights extravaganza with the Mr. Bassnec
