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.

Above & Beyond: Acoustic Set Coming Soon

May 7, 2013 By Leave a Comment

What better way to start off Trance Tuesday than with this picture featured above posted on the Above & Beyond Facebook page? This is all the news and clues we have for you right now, but this wouldn’t be the first time the trio ditched their studio equipment and replaced it with live instruments. In the video I’ve posted below, we see as A&B went on a hot air balloon trek with Virgin Balloon Flights and performed an acoustic set alongside vocalist Zoe Johnston. This was a very intimate and exclusive opportunity and it’s absolutely beautiful to see the passionate & emotional trance sounds and formations be translated and delivered in an truly live acoustic format. We couldn’t be more excited to see what Jono, Paavo, and Tony have up their sleeves for this innovative project that is “coming soon”. We will keep you updated with all information regarding this monumental proposal.

Wolfgang Gartner feat. Medina – Overdose (Extended Club Mix)

April 5, 2013 By Leave a Comment

7097401

The latest release off Ultra Records is from none other than Wolfgang Gartner. Known for his complextro tracks and epic live sets, Wolfgang’s new track featuring Medina on vocals is just what we can expect from the ‘boss’ himself. “Overdose” is a bit more mellow than most Wolfgang electro house tracks, having some beautiful singing from Medina and lower energy drops. However, the song still includes some of those harder elements that we’ve become used to in all of his tracks, as well as some skeptical lyrics that reference overdosing (OD) on drugs. Regardless, we love this track and we suggest for you all to give it a listen and support this amazing artist by grabbing it on Beatport below!

The young Norwegian producer Fehrplay is quickly emerging as one of the most talented new producers at the moment. After gaining the attention of the one and only Eric Prydz, Fehrplay has joined the Pryda friends team and has swiftly taken the roll as the front runner of the label. He has four releases on Pryda friends, has been touring with Prydz, has a highly anticipated upcoming single and there is no sign of Fehrplay putting on the brakes anytime soon. We were lucky enough to catch up with Fehrplay and ask him a few questions, so check out his latest mix and read on to see what Fehrplay is all about.

Alex Metric – Ammunition Pt. 3 EP

April 2, 2013 By Leave a Comment

7064463

The British DJ/producer Alex Metric is one of the most underrated producers around in my opinion. Alex is one of the few producers who has never been constrained specific genres. He has a unique style that incorporates a hard hitting electro sound, grooving disco vibes and big room sounds that are consistently produced at the highest quality. Following the release of Ammunition Pt. 2 after teaming up with Skrillex’s OWSLA team Metric has just released Ammunition Pt. 3. ‘Ilium’,the first track on the EP, has a driving progressive electro feel that is exquisitely glued together with soft breaks, complex percussion, an energetic topline and perfectly incorporated vocal snippets. The second track on the EP, ‘Scandalism’, chills out the vibe with a moving bassline, euphoric arpeggiated top line and an infectious melody. ‘Want Ya’ is in the same vein as ‘Ilium’ with a pumping low end, chopped up vocal samples and interspersed piano stabs that makes this track hit hard while still maintaining a groovy vibe. To round out the EP ‘Rave Weapon 2′ slows the pace from the original single as Metric gives the track a more ominous feel with a drawn out dark bassline intertwined with pounding percussion and unnerving synth stabs. Ammunition Pt. 3 is a breathe of fresh air in as it really stands out from the myriad of releases these days that have fallen into the confines of what has been deemed as popular in dance music today.
