Electric Daisy Carnival 2012 Las Vegas: Official Recap


Simply put, this weekend was UNREAL. It began Thursday morning with a five-hour excursion from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, stopping only once for our precious In-N-Out. After finally touching down at our suite at the Mandalay Bay, we made it down the strip to the Hardrock Hotel to meet up with the rest of the Techi Team. What then ensued could only be described as a night of complete debauchery, leading into the next morning ready to head back to Mandalay Bay, where our good friends Gregory Sills and Peter Sims, together known as Fista Cuffs, played the topless pool party. Now that the darkness was approaching, it was time to call the limo and make our way to the main event – the one and only Electric Daisy Carnival, Las Vegas. Continue on for a day by day recap of everything that went down at the Motorspeedway on this legendary weekend…

Street Lurkin are not your run of the mill DJ/Production duo. Formed in 2010 by Atlanta’s own Ryan Purcell and Lee Bates, this duo set out to turn dance floors into mosh pits (a common occurrence, actually). In no time, Street Lurkin were supporting acts such as Feed Me, Kill The Noise, A-Trak, Kid Sister, Le Castle Vania, Treasure Fingers, Borgore, and Steve Aoki. Street Lurkin are here to turn up the distortion, crank up the bass, and sucker-punch the eardrums. This awesome new electro-house tune feat. Anna Yvette is taken from their latest release, the ‘Frenemies EP’ which is Out Now on Play Me Records!

Milo & Otis – Friendly City (Original Mix) [Free Download]

Milo & Otis is a collaborative side-project between two Orlando based DJs; Graham Andrew, aka KillaGraham, and Matt Nemethy, aka NYMZ, whose musical influences range from Koan Sound to Tchiakovsky. Milo & Otis focus on an experimental, melodic, moombahton / jump-step sound, and their new track ‘Friendly City’ is a perfect example. Upon first listening to their new tune, a fellow techibeats co-worker and I were debating what genre it would fall under and agreed it would be best labeled as ‘electro-ton’, but we think it’s best if we let you decide.  You can scoop it up here as a free download!
