Swedish House Mafia: Black Tie Rave

New Yorkers, listen up! Hurricane Sandy has left many feeling dispirited, but Swedish House Mafia is bringing some positive vibes to a place that could truly use them. This legendary trio will be playing a one-of-a-kind event at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City on February 28th; the interesting setting along with the mandatory black ties and ball gowns dress code (and yes, it will be enforced) ensures that the Black Tie Rave will be among the most unique EDM events of the year. The event is only for those that are 21+, and tickets will be sold in three separate auctions on Ticketmaster, the first beginning this Friday at 10AM EST. Make sure to check it out; this will not only be one of the group’s last performances before they play their final show at this year’s Ultra Music Festival, but you’ll be raving for the good of mankind – with all ticket sales going towards Hurricane Sandy relief efforts!

Colorado: 2012 Olympic Games Party and Aurora Victim Relief Fundraiser

Recently Colorado has experienced an incredible tragedy. Last week at an Aurora, CO movie theater a gunman senselessly killed 12 people and left many more injured. Here at Techibeats it saddens us greatly that such senseless violence could ever occur and our thoughts go out to everyone who has been affected by this tragedy. In light of these recent events we have teamed up with The Goose Bar to put on an Olympic Games party where all the proceeds will be donated to aid the victims and their families. If you are in the Colorado area we urge you to go and help a very important cause. Check out the event page here, and if you can’t make it to the event please donate to the organization here. On behalf of Techibeats I offer our deepest condolences to all the victims, their friends and families.
