Our previous story on Electric Forest touched on the festival’s diversity. From patrons to artists, the event is a true smorgasbord of festival counterculture. Of course, Electric Forest’s spiritual leaders are none other than The String Cheese Incident, quite possibly the world’s most eclectic band. Over the course of three days, six sets, and about twelve hours worth of scheduled music, the String Cheese Incident proved exactly why they are the best band to headline a festi

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

The lineup is laced with premiering act Get Real (Green Velvet and Claude Vonstroke), Todd Terje live, Die Antwoord, Tale Of Us, and a number of other acts that have serious potential to educate the usual main stage crowd. PHASE 2 HEADLINERS The full list of daily stage lineups was also released, including three full days of a stacked live stage. In particular, Bassnectar closing out Saturday night should be earth-shattering. On Sunday the Ultra Worldwide stage has the best l

Electric Forest just announced their 2015 lineup! String Cheese Incident will be joined with a plethora of electronic music artists along with the likes of Yonder Mountain String Band, Lotus, Lettuce, Joe Russo’s Almost Dead, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Dopapod and more. Exmag, Branx and Gibbz also made the cut! So we wanted to send a shout out to our Brooklyn boys!! Tickets + more available here. #stringcheeseincident #lotus #electricforest #skrillex #lettuce

The Skrillex Superjam documentary has arrived! Watch how the gang of musicians featuring Skrillex, Big Gigantic, Thundercat, Mickey Hart (of Grateful Dead), Lauryn Hill, A$AP Ferg, Damian Marley, Warpaint, Jannelle Monae, Robby Krieger (of The Doors) and more come together for an unforgettable jam. From A$AP Ferg talking about Mickey Hart’s artistry to Skrillex telling Hart he should be the one who raps on the futuristic version of “Fire on the Mountain” there are so many inc

Hangout Music and Arts Festival has announced their 2015 lineup, headlined by Foo Fighters, Beck and Zac Brown Band. Joining the headliners are jam staples My Morning Jacket and Umphrey’s Mcgee. Trampled By Turtles act as the lone bluegrass band on the bill, but Father John Misty, Strand of Oaks and Drive By Truckers will appease fans of southern rock, folk and Americana. The electronica presence is there, but not overwhelming, as Gramatik, Griz, Skrillex, Odesza, and Toro Y

Skrillex and Diplo are playing the nation’s most famous sports arena on New Years Eve, and have posted an adorable, touristy video to promote the event. If you want to see Dip and Skrill do things that normally make me cringe when I’m in midtown, click play below. Somehow, it’s less obnoxious when they ask for their picture to be taken in Times Square. #music #nye #Newyearseve #skrillex #NYC #jacku #diplo #brooklyn #newyorkcity

Phish will almost certainly play Miami for New Years Eve this year. This rumor is (pretty much) confirmed after Madison Square Garden’s NYE event leaked on Ticketmaster. We expect an official announcement some time in the next week. That’s right, Skrillex and Diplo are playing Madison Square Garden according to LiveMusicBlog. The listing has been taken down, but these Ticketmaster leaks are usually pretty reliable. We’ll see you in Miami! #2014 #phish #edm #music #fuego #skri

Sway is legendary for his interviews and it’s awesome to see him chop it up with Skrill. They talk for a good half hour about Diplo, music, Ellie, Burning Man and a bunch of other stuff. #shade45 #interview #NewYork #skrillex #dubera #sway

Skrillex played a private show in New York at the Slipper Room and dropped a whole gang of new tracks including a new Jack U track. Skrillex is awesome because he lets you know what you’re listening too while he’s mixing. I think that is pretty cool for a private show. Check it out in full below. #NewYork #mix #skrillex #jacku #dubera

Diplo sets the record straight, and I trust the guy. He’s been an innovator since before you even knew who he was, so let’s let this one RIP. Despite rumors .. I wanna thank robot heart crew for putting together and awesome lineup or surprise guests and attendees that is gettin lost in a really lame false news story.. Although robot heart is anonymous and strictly a deeply quiet crew .. One of the founders .. Jaspn swamy loves this funny moment and is astounded that this is o

Skrillex live streamed his Red Rocks show the other night. If you missed it like we did and didn’t get a chance to make a Saturday night party from it then you can listen to the whole set now. Skrillex throws the best parties of just about any DJ so I can imagine this was quite the spectacle at Red Rocks. Listen and imagine yourself in the rocks. Below is the track listing for Skrillex set as well. SKRILLEX FULL SET: SKRILLEX TRACK LISTING: 01 Skrillex – With Your Friends (L

There’s few places better to see a show than in New York City. And there’s few people who throw a party better than Skrillex. So when the little homie himself comes in to the big apple for Governors Ball, you know he’s gotta go late in to the night, right? Skrillex, along with Branchez and Yogi, will turn up in Webster Hall on Saturday night. Tickets are sold out, but if you’re lucky enough, you might find one around the secondary market. We’ll see you there! #dubstep #claude

Skrillex has been making all sorts of headlines in the press lately with his new tour and album hitting within a couple days of each other. While you can find that stuff on any website, I have to share this cut off the new album. Equal parts Claude VonStroke and vintage Skream (halftime @ 2:46), “Fuck That” is definitely the strongest tune off the album that I have heard thus far. Check it below. #dubstep #claudevonstroke #techno #music #skream #rave #house #skrillex

OWSLA is proud to present the Phonat Never EP. The title track for the EP is one of the catchiest songs I’ve heard in some time. With a sample that sounds like Curtis Mayfield or something (I googled and couldn’t pin-point it) this is a pure, unadulterated, funky slice of heaven. The second track admittedly loses me a little bit, and the remixes don’t come close to the original (in my opinion) but it’s definitely worth a post. #funk #glitch #phonat #music #owsla #koansound #s

Governors Ball joins the list of festivals announcing their lineup on one of the most epic days for festival news we’ve ever had. This one is fronted by (of course) Outkast, Jack White, Vampire Weekend, The Strokes, Skrillex, Phoenix, Interpol, Disclosure and Foster the People (who I am still confused as to why they are up there with these other artists). Further down the list you get Washed Out, Broken Bells, Damian Marley, Empire of the Sun, Classixx, Glitch Mob, Tyler, the

via zimbio.com Back in September, reports came through that Skrillex and Warren Haynes would be a part of a panel assembled by Billboard to discuss the Grateful Dead, particularly touring techniques. As part of the recent Billboard Touring Conference, we are now able to see bits and pieces of the discussion. From the “wall of sound” to the Allman Brothers and Deadmau5, check it out. #allmanbrothersband #phish #dubstep #billboard #herobust #music #excision #warrenhaynes #govtm

Deadmau5 seems to make the news every other week with some crazy tweets. While this week saw the producer taking shots at Justin Beiber, this show was announced right under our Floridian noses. Outside of Miami, Deadmau5 hasn’t been making too many trips down to Florida in the past few years. He hasn’t played Tampa since 2009, a time where those three letters (EDM) were a lot less popular and the crowds were a whole lot smaller. Now, just days before 2014, he comes to Raymond
