Saturday much to my enjoyment went off without a hitch, we caught up with Bart B More on the main stage first. He spun some of his Dirty Electro mash with a twist of Dirty Dutch with the presence of friends on stage, such as Chuckie. If you watched the great warm up set to the day you would have wanted to stay and see the next set courtesy of Dada Life. These two guys really know how to throw down some tracks. If you are looking for a fun up tempo banging beat then look no further than the guys from Sweden.
Next we caught a little of Afrojack on the main stage for the second wonderful day in a row. The main stage was a little more main stream the second day. Still Afrojack and still awesome we just liked the first day a little better, but beggars can't be choosers, and damnit who are we to complain about the wonder and amazement that was this past weekend. We skipped our way over to the Circuit Grounds to give some Progressive House a go and got to see the one and only Roger Sanchez.
We then headed back over to the Main Stage to metaphorically shake hands with Laidback Luke. He spun a solid ass set that carried the crowd into the night. We ended up leaving a little early due to Harvard Bass rocking the Cosmic Meadows for some Bass enjoyment. The set was more than we could ask for just throwing it all out on the tables. LA Riots threw down a sick set immediately after Harvard Bass that kept the pace of the evening going.
Who was next? Who you ask.... Well no other than Wolfgang Gartner who lit up the stage like a fuckin Christmas tree. If you had the opportunity to see one act and leave on Saturday I would say you should have seen this. You could not explain it in words, only in Thizz faces, and I can guarantee you not many people there were from Norcal. Check out the live video, as well as wolfgangs new track "Illmerica".
After catching Mr. Gartner we headed over to the Circuit Grounds to catch some Fedde Le Grande. He was spinning a pretty sick set from House to Electro House to Progressive House. The way that the stage was setup was like an ancient gauntlet of music that had flames bursting from every column. You literally felt like you were in another country on some deserted island where music was God. How would you want to round out your night after that. Well you were faced with a rather large decision. (Turn to the next paragraph to find out)
Boys Noize or MSTRKRFT? Well we chose both. We started with Boys Noize and if you have seen Boys Noize ever or a hundred times you know that each time is going to be awesome, and each time is going to be different. Nothing bad could have been said about this music unless you enjoy classical.
Last but not least we rounded out the night with MSTRKRFT. By this time we were absolutely not tired and believe we need a three day festival next year, haha. Cheers and here's to next year, may it be bigger and even better.
It's been over 6 months since any of us Southern California folks have seen or even heard anything new from Alexander Ridha aka Boys Noize. We are all very over due. No need to worry though because his new remix of N.E.R.D.'s Hot-N-Fun ft. Nelly Furtado is available below. Oh wait, he'll also be melting faces live at EDC in less than a week. If you don't have your tickets by this point, I'd say now would be a very good time to buy them. This weekend is going to be pure filth. Until then, enjoy...
School is out for most of us So-Calers and what could be better than the first weekend of summer? Nothing, besides some fresh tunes... Time to get wild have at it! ZZT - The Worm ( Erol Alkan Extended Rework)
