There aren't a great many outfits who can put together a festival the way Insomniac Events does - even if they release a cringeworthy trailer from time to time. The promotional company has now begun to rev up its hype engine for EDC New York, and today they're offering up a new trailer for the festival's 2016 edition.
No festival has gone on as long as Mysteryland NL, so its lineup announcements make for big news in the Dutch electronic music scene. For that reason, the festival's organizers have spared no means in putting out an initial lineup that solidifies it as a massive not to be missed.
There's no roadmap for how a conglomerate of SFX Entertainment's size goes through chapter 11 bankruptcy restructuring, and trivial details were bound to fall by the wayside. In the most recent court documents that have surfaced as a result of the company's legal proceedings, partial lineup details for three of its festivals have made their rounds on social media.
The Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival is right around the corner, which means that you can expect a lot of announcements to come from the festival's organizes in the next couple of weeks. Among them are Los Angeles-based collective Do Lab, whom have revealed the official lineup details for their stage at this year's edition of the festival.
The North American festival season is officially under way, but that doesn't mean that every lineup has been announced just yet. The next in line to reveal their roster though is Veld Music Festival, whose organizers have taken to Instagram today to announce the first string of names to grace the massive's 2016 lineup.
NGHTMRE's tracks already span the bass music spectrum these days, but he's still found uncharted territory to explore as an artist. The North Carolina-based DJ/producer has put out a future bass track called "Holdin' On To Me" that features verses that he wrote and sang himself.
It was only a matter of time before Flume went in on a track with AlunaGeorge. Both artists have found their tracks in the collective queue of electronic music fans the world over, and after running into each other numerous times throughout the festival circuit they finally got around to collaborating together.
I suppose there hasn't been a lot to dissuade Skrillex from thinking that he can make his more subpar tracks successful through hype alone. The superstar DJ/producer talked up his new Valentino Khan collaboration so much before its OWSLA Radio premiere that when it finally cued up, it fell laughably short of everything he said about it.
There aren't a great many artists big enough to help the top grossing nightclub in the world celebrate its seventh anniversary. Hip-hop and bass music icon Diplo fits the bill, though, and he's uploaded his two-and-a-half-hour set from the March 21st celebration to his SoundCloud account for everyone who wasn't able to attend.
It's one thing when a big room house artist puts out a track that's painful to listen to right from the beginning, but it's far worse when they butcher a concept with potential. Hardwell has teamed up with Portuguese progressive house artist KURA on "Calavera," which starts off promising enough before steering into a full-on assault on the senses.
