We’re Living in Ibiza for 8 Weeks Filming Resistance

Resistance music is taking over Ibiza for the summer and the first party was off to an awesome start. For those who don’t know, Resistance is the spin off brand from Ultra Music Festival that focuses on techno and “underground” style music. They put a festival stage inside of a giant nightclub called Privilege. It’s one of the first times we’ve been genuinely excited to take photos inside of a club. This is much more than a club, this is Resistance. Sasha and John Digweed wil

The Ultra Music Festival Lineup Is Better Than You Think

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

ULTRA MUSIC FESTIVAL 2015 LINEUP (Skrillex, Bassnectar, Die Antwoord, Odesza, & More)

Ultra is the tip-top for electronic music fanatics. They bring everything you could want in the electronica world along with a bunch you don’t know about. The phase 1 2015 lineup just dropped and it is full of Ultra first timers. Apart from making it 18+ this year, they diversified the headliners as well. We can expect the main stage to see a little something different than usual which is cool. \ The live stage headliners are my favorite acts by far. Bassnectar, Clean Bandit,

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

EVENT PREVIEW: Miami Music Week 2014 Guide

If you want a festival-style week, with a little bit of everything, then you have Ultra Music Festival. If you want to hit an ultimate series of parties, I would suggest the Red Bull Guest House events at the Gale in South Beach. If those don’t work out for you here are the other amazing options: —WED.

LINEUP ANNOUNCEMENT: ULTRA Phase 1 – Above & Beyond, MGMT, Empire of The Sun, Diplo, and

Ultra dropped the first phase of its lineup this morning. While the main headliners are to be expected, the rest of the lineup holds a strong variety and loyalty to live and underground artists. I’m impressed to say the least. The live acts pack a punch not expected from Ultra typically. Empire of the Sun, MGMT, Pusha T, Sub Focus Live, MIA, and more will grace the live stage this year and I am hyped on that! The underground scene is holding a heavy presence with Justin Marti

SHOW REVIEW: Darkside Performs at Miami’s Art Basel

What is Darkside? The most obvious answer is the collaboration of DJ / producer Nicolas Jaar and guitarist Dave Harrington. Another answer you might get is that it is a Jaar side project. It’s certainly darker than a lot of the tunes he releases under his solo moniker, but it definitely rides along the same lines. Darkside is definitely different, and that is what you can expect from their live show: something different. So let’s set the stage here. We’re in Miami during Art

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 #

“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

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

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

Hulaween has added some big additions to their Suwannee extravaganza! Emancipator and Conspirator lead the second wave of artists. Perhaps the biggest addition is what is being called SPIRIT LAKE. Fans can expect an epic fusion of dazzling lights, art installations and performance art that morphs the Spirit Lake waterfront and adjacent forest into a vivid dream-like space that fully engages the senses.
