KASKADE
To explain what it’s like to attend Ultra Music Festival isn’t quite that easy. Sure, those who can’t grasp exactly what “EDM” is just don’t get it. To love house music along with it’s accompanying sub genres, is truly a sort of cult our generation has embraced. Over the course of 3 days, Weekend 1 welcomed well over 50,000 people. In retrospect, that’s a tiny portion of the music lovers around the world. But to us? Nope. It felt as if it was the only type of music surrounding us in our own little heaven.
A weekend in Las Vegas always promises nights of bottle-popping debauchery and mischief, but when New Years Eve comes around, this playground for adults takes its musical madness to a whole new level. Party amongst the biggest DJs in the world, Hollywood stars, and Hip Hop's hottest artists around America's playground, Sin City! Check out our picks below and for more hot parties visit here.
Marquee Nightclub New Year’s Eve Weekend
Welcome to a new chapter in the book of Miami nightlife, a brand new tale that’s never been told - Story Nightclub.
Brought to you by, Dave Grutman (the brains behind LIV, Arkadia and LIV Sun Life at Dolphins Stadium), Story Nightclub is the new kid on the block making its grand entrance into Miami nightlife with a stellar roster of talent this month.
Taking over the old Amnesia space, Story Nightclub has undergone a multi-million dollar renovation which revamped the venue into a chicer, classier spot.
The electronic dance music trailblazer, Kaskade, will bring his signature sound when he takes over HQ Nightclub at Revel in Atlantic City for what is sure to be a spectacular debut as he helps close out 2012 with a special pre-NYE set on Sunday, December 30.
Born Ryan Raddon, The New York Times called him "the new face of electronic dance music" and that could suit him well. However, the American DJ has been in the scene for more than 10 years. In that time, he has built a name for himself as an innovator of the electronic dance music scene as fans know it today and helped to lay the groundwork for a titanic musical and cultural shift: a post-rock EDM revolution that has captured the imagination of a new generation of music lovers across North America.
After emabarking on his jam packed Freaks Of Nature Tour this summer, Kaskade is coming back to the Big Apple to bring out the "freak" in everyone at the lavish, midtown nightclub, Lavo.
The Chicago native is a house hold name and has been producing for more than a decade. He has hit the decks of Vegas superclubs, major festivals and is no stranger to LAVO NYC. He got behind the booth last year for co-owner Noah Tepperberg's birthday and is sure to attract a solid crowd to the club this Thursday.
His signature tunes produce flowy melodies infused with pleasant female vocals seen in "Eyes" and "Angel On My Shoulder." Kaskade and Lavo couldn't be a more perfect combination for it's consistent star studded talent appreciated by the music lover in every New Yorker.
It’s been a historic year for electronic music.
Last October we watched Tiesto rake in record-breaking numbers when he headlined the largest single DJ event in US history at The Home Depot Center. Kaskade followed suit this summer when he became the first EDM artist to solo-headline and sellout The Staples Center. And now it’s Avicii’s turn to play pioneer - the Swedish producer will become the first EDM act to headline New York's iconic Radio City Music Hall when he takes to the decks at his show on September 27.
After Kaskade became the first EDM artist to solo-headline and sell out The Staples Center in LA last week, the venue is hotter than ever. So it’s no surprise that Tiesto is following suit, announcing his concert for October 20th, 2012.
The venue holds just over 18,000 people, less than the 26,000 fans who poured into the neighboring Home Depot Center in masses to see Tiesto last year at the largest single DJ event in US history. Nonetheless, we can expect yet another sold-out show from the incredibly talented producer.
What do Tiesto, Avicii, Afrojack and Kaskade all have in common? They’ve all been opened for by Matt Goldman - progressive tech-house extraordinaire.
The Baltimore native holds a prestigious residency at Club Glow in Washington, DC where he can be found spinning his uplifting synths and groovy beats. But luckily for New Yorkers, we can catch him live this Saturday headlining Electric Beach at Santos House Party.
Goldman’s sounds are chalking up to be the next big thing - don’t miss the opportunity to see a rising star in action!
Tickets are available here. Check out his mixes below:
Ten miles of darkness and 2000 cars separated us from the festival we had only dreamt about. As we stared forward, excited and anxious, there was a faint flicker towards the sky and then the familiar explosion of fireworks in the distance. A roar ripped through the desert from the cars around us. Indian chiefs and their topless girlfriends yelled and cheered out their windows, as packs of neon spattered fur boots ran by on foot. This was the scene I had heard so much about. The one that would save dance music events
Insomniac’s Electric Daisy Carnival has consistently been remarked as the premier Electronic Music festival in the country. With steady competition from Ultra Music Festival , and the multitude of other events that have developed in the past few years, claiming that title is quite a feat. Insomniac’s founder, Pasquale Rotella, has rose through the ranks of California promoters to a point of utmost success. He has absolutely earned his stripes, with the immense scale of his events and consequences this sometimes brings. The risk involved with such massive gatherings as these has made it necessary for Pasquale to impose a new standard for safety at these events, both at the gates and in the festival. In both appearance and functionality, EDC proved to be nothing less than the world-class event that was beckoned for.
