Summer Set Music Festival To Bring Top Tier Lineup To The Midwest

summerset

Last summer was the first year that React, Majestic and Sound in Motion teamed up to bring us Summer Set Music and Camping Festival held in Somerset, Wisconsin just a short drive from Minneapolis.   Those three companies are teaming up again for Summer Set 2013.  The Lineup recently dropped and it is a pretty eclectic group of artists. There are four headliners: Passion Pit, Girl Talk, STS9 and a returning headliner from last year, Big Gigantic. The remainder of the lineup boasts artists and sounds mainly hosting the likes of EDM, live bands and hip hop. Personally I am really excited to see Alex Metric, Kill Paris, Madeon, SBTRKT, Tommy Trash and Zedd. Be sure to check back as we will update you once they release information on the after party lineups.  If you’re going to be heading to Summer Set we will be having a crew hanging out and taking pictures so come find us! You can pick up tickets here and find any additional information here.

Diplo & Skrillex Join Forces Creating Supergroup – ‘Jack U’

Skrillex-Diplo

Move over Boys Noize, it looks like Dog Blood has some new competition. It appears as if the wonderkin we all know as Skrillex has decided to team up with an even bigger co-star, Diplo. The lineup for the annual Mad Decent Block Party has a diverse array of artists all performing on the same stage throughout the summer. Among those prominent artists, however, is Jack U. If you had a dumbfounded look on your face when you came across that name, don’t worry, so did we. A tweet from Diplo a few days ago cleared up any confusion by simply stating “Jack u… Means skrillex+diplo..”. The two will be performing together throughout the duration of the tour and we cant wait to see how their diverse yet compatible styles clash. Next we can only hope that the duo will be hitting the studio together for some serious production time after the tour ends.
