Wolfmau5

The newest installment from Deadmau5 includes an artist that we have been literally raving about for the past year and a half Wolfgang Gartner.  It drops in stores September 6th, so if you haven't heard it live recently... you will.

Wish You Were Here... FRIDAY

 
The aftermath has piled up as the events of the past weekend at the Los Angeles Colesium cast a shadow over the World.  If you weren't there for some odd reason, I truly hope it was a very odd reason indeed.  We wanted to share some of the highlights just to re-live the experience once again or show some of you non-believers what fun is all about.

Friday was captured by a few artists and was nothing short of spectacular.  We rolled up to the Los Angeles Colesium that was heavily guarded, but under complete control.  The ticket lines were not long, the beer lines were which is odd, and there was only one outburst by the douchebag fence jumpers to which Lil Jon handled in about 2 minutes with some strong yelling instead of the hippie P.L.U.R. jargon.  We came across Autoerotique throwing down a signature Electro set in the beginning of the day at the Cosmic Meadows.  He powered down a great set just in time for us to head on over to see some of Afrojack handling the best set I have seen in a while with a special guest shout out from Lil Jon.

Tune up your collection:

AutoErotique - Gladiator (Steve Aoki.mp3 - Oldie but a Goodie



Next we headed on over to the Circuit Grounds which hosted a 7 story stage that Chuckie was spinning some ridiculous tunes from the songs of the summer Babylon and Hope.  He spun a two hour set worthy of a headline position which I'm sure will be in the near future.

Bonus:

I Like It (Chuckie Remix).mp3

Hope (Djedtronic remix).mp3

Dirty South left his normal Progressive House style set to amaze the audiences with some Filthy Electro House in the begining, and finishing with his typical tunes towards the end.  Definitely different and much appreciated.  All that did not know the name of Dirty South are now googling and wondering if he is from America.  Well he is from the Dirty South of Austrailia.

After watching Dirty South and not wanting to leave them we decided to part ways with Kaskade and check out Jack Beats which in my experience if you want to see Bass Heavy; look no further.  God these guys are pros at targeting the audience and putting a bullet straight through their heart.



We hung around the Cosmic Meadows after Jack showed us how the Jack Beats Rock, and checked out a very special DJ AM tribute between Travis Barker and A-Trak. This was packed with a special guest performance again by Lil Jon who seemed to be everywhere that weekend and was just an excellent set to appreciate.

You want it... You got it...

Then came the long awaited Household Names of House... Angello, Axwell, Ingrosso.  This was the ONE and only SWEDISH HOUSE MAFIA. 



If you didn't have the patience to stay in the Circuit Grounds you truly missed out on a once in a lifetime appearance.  From rolling in One More Time into One, to murdering the Colesium.  These three individuals held it down and should have been the headlining act.  Swedish House rocked the set.

Last but not least:
Gangsta (Original Mix).mp3
Show_One_Love (Hardwell Did It Again Remix).mp3

We were somewhat disappointed with the Deadmau5 set, and I don't know what the plan was.  The new Deadmau5 stage was magnificent, but to use it against the 7 story backdrop with no integration was a bold move, and I thought somewhat lack luster.  We still have lots of love for Deadmau5, this was just not expected; especially after the way the music was being put down all day.

With some remaining time we scooted on over to the see Armand Van Helden just commit a sacrifice on the crowd while he was there.  The last half hour with Van Helden was an immediate thumbs up and great decision.

Sometimes Less is More

Giving the heavy-hitters a break is a good thing every now and then. These are a few of my personal favorites. Check these out for those times of much needed chillaxation. All very different, all very awesome. Enjoy.

Pryda - Rakfunk - All-time favorite

Sebastien Tellier - Kilometer (A-Trak Dub Mix)

Tape Deck Bros - Science Fiction

Phoenix - Lisztomania (Classixx Remix) - Happiest song on earth?

Goon & Koyote - Wellness is Wild (Dre Skull Mix)

Deadmau5 - Arguru

Filthy Fun

Well, its finally the break of spring for many of us college low-lifes, so how about some jams to keep the party rocking well into the am. Helpful hint: Turn these up as loud as possible for maximum enjoyment.


Wolfgang Gartner - Undertaker  
If Wolfgang isn't in your library by now it's about time. 
Neelix - Disco Decay (Felguk Mix)
Upbeat and fun with just enough dirtiness.
DiscoTech - She's Devastating 
Big tune...
The Crystal Method - Cherry Twist (Deadmau5 Remix)
Oldie but a goodie (low quality)

Something to bang your head on...

Pretty self explanatory. Enjoy the weekend.

HARD 13: Recap

What a night we all had in LA at Club Nokia for HARD 13. The place was jam packed all night and the sets just kept getting better and better. Deadmau5 was the special guest along with Steve Duda and Tommy Lee in the upstairs bass lounge. To say the least the night was a complete success. Have a look...

By the end of the night Boy 8-Bit was DEFINITELY enjoying the show but that didn't stop him from killing it on the main stage earlier in the night.

Florence and The Machine - Drumming Song (Jack Beats Remix)  by  Noiseuphoria

Like most HARD events, Gary Richards, better known as Destructo, had quite the treat for the crowd. Immediately before Fake Blood melted the club, tons of HARD beach balls were dumped from the upper balcony into the main floor. Awesome-ness.


The crowd was uncontrollable by this point as Fake Blood dropped banger after banger. Above is his remix of Little Boots - Stuck On Repeat. Downloadable version below

Deadmau5, Steve Duda & Tommy Lee - WTF


These guys together (known as WTF) were blowing peoples minds and eardrums upstairs all night in the small lounge area. At times there were close to only 100 people which made for a very personal experience for the fans.

Turn up the bass for this one...

All in all, Saturday night was yet again another Great HARD event. Special Thanks to Gary Richards AKA Destructo for making these types of events such a success.
