Safe enough to say, if you’re a Dubstep fan then you definitely like bass; BUT! Are you a bass head? Within the past 5 years there’s been a world-wide bass boom with the up-come of Dubstep inside our quickly growing EDM seed, and it’s only evolving more (thank the EDM Gods). Of course, with regards to our friends Knife Party, Nero, and Noisia who usually stay on the happier, upbeat/club type-step, few other DJs dare to go deeper. Hits like ‘Witchcraft’ by Pendelum, ‘Infinite’ by Bassnectar, and one of the newest, ‘Fallout’ by Emalkay & The Others are a few triggers to knowing you’re hooked onto the bass chain, especially when there’s not a second to breath between drops and you just want more. Now, this is no definition of which Dubstep is better or what style makes you a better fan, there are simply levels wherein some can handle and some cannot. Let’s talk a fan favorite; Bassnectar.

As if we weren’t already sold on the Camp Bisco lineup, its organizers at MCP Presents just made the festival literally impossible to resist.

Taking place July 11-13 in the sprawling fields of Mariaville, New York, Camp Bisco celebrates twelve years of genre-crossing musical glory with an impressive roster of talent ranging from iconic jam-bands like Umphrey’s McGee and STS9 to electro-superstars Bassnectar and Flux Pavilion. To make matters even better, last week the festival released its second lineup announcement including acts like Madeon, Alpha Data, and Seven Lions.

But it’s not all about rounding up the usual festival suspects for Bisco; the festival’s founders and curators The Disco Biscuits have built a reputation on barrier-breaking originality that combines the instrumental artistry of live bands with the melodic masterpieces of electronically-based productions. In continuing with this tradition, Bisco will welcome to its lineup both Destroid—a live band version of Excision, KJ Sawka, and Downlink—as well as Digital Tape Machine—a recent side project featuring members of Umphrey’s McGee.

The recent announcement also unveiled the return of Bisco’s curated tents, hosted this year by OWSLA, BoysNoize Records, French Express Records and music blog This Song is Sick. Skrillex’s label will face off against BoysNoize’s imprint in the ultimate electro-showdown, with producers from each camp flexing their turntablist muscles. If you thought Dillon Francis spinning B2B with Kill The Noise last year was legendary, just wait for the surprises in store at Camp Bisco 2013!

General Admission tickets are available for $185 now online at Camp Bisco's homepage. If you’re saving up to attend even one festival this summer, Camp Bisco will be worth every penny.

March 16: Circle Talent Agency Pool Party at The Shelborne

Known for its colossal roster of quality talent, the Circle Talent Agency kicked off Miami Music Week with a splash at their poolside showcase! Touting a star-studded lineup featuring Flux Pavilion, Doctor P, and Datsik, the showcase invited dubstep lovers to bask in the sun while watching their favorite artists flex their bass-heavy muscles. And although anchored by the agency’s superstar turntablists, it was rising stars Lucky Date and Carnage who truly stole the show(case).

We've been waiting for another big room return from New York based DJ/Producer, Stereoshock. His newest production strikes pure emotion on a record the young producer has said he's been wanting to remix for a while now. His latest production work on "Trembling Hands" gives new life to the hugely successful single from Temper Trap. "I got the idea for this remix walking alone through the city physically and mentally. I tried to recreate the emotion and produced this for the listener to understand the story behind the protagonist of the song," he said on his inspiration behind the emotional melody.

Miami is finally quieting down after two weeks of Winter Music Conference madness, but even as the throngs of furry-booted rave babes disappear from our clubs, the sunny city remains a flourishing, year-round hub for EDM’s explosive growth.

The brilliant minds at Cr2 Records recognize Miami’s dominant influence on the dance music scene, and paid tribute to the booming musical mecca with their newest Live and Direct “Miami 2013″ compilation.

Everything you want and love for the ultimate dance party song is done right as it features the pair’s signature mix of dance, pop, and hip-hop.
