**Update**
-- This Event appears to be a Go and will be happening. Details are still yet to be released but sources have confirmed the show --
Rumors are swirling around the EDM community that Insomniac events may have something big for us this coming Spring. Those rumors, are about Insomniac creating an Electric Daisy Carnival NYC (EDC NYC) event in the northeast. Dancing Astronaut is reporting that Metlife stadium is the front runner for the venue for EDC NYC but Citi field may also take the role. Despite the anonymity of the venue choice for EDC NYC, May 19-20 looks to be the weekend primed for the event according to sources. If Insomniac were to take over Metlife Stadium for EDC NYC New York, they would be looking at throwing an event larger then that of the summer classic, Electric Zoo.
This leaves the EDMBoston crew guessing. How will Insomniac throw down an epic Electric Daisy Carnival NYC New York event on such short notice? They are literally looking at 4 months to make this EDC NYC production happen. That being said, if anyone could make it happen, its the Insomniac events team. Lets keep our fingers crossed for another massive festival in the north east. Who knows maybe Mayor Menino pulls a wild card and brings it to Boston?!?

Deadmau5 was busy last week with his release of Maths. But he also dropped some previews of thigns he has been working on. The two projects carry interesting names, especially "Get in the october cart, pig"
Last Tuesday, Boston was blessed with International Superstar DJ Chuckie. The larger then life icon, known for his unique Dirty Dutch empire, sold out the event days before his performance at club Bijou, which left people lined up at the door awaiting last minute ticket released.
The EDMBoston.com team was really looking forward to Chuckie’s performance. The Dirty Dutch DJ had just come off a massive summer tour that featured mainstage performances at both Tomorrowlands and EDC Las Vegas. Those two events combined put DJ Chuckie’s viewership at over 160,000+ people. Collectively his viewership throughout the year is unfathomable. Chuckie plays over 200 gigs a year and is in a different city and often a different country every day of the year. However tonight Boston, had Chuckie for 1 night.
The international jetsetter rolled into Bijou unassumingly with just security and kept a low profile, despite his international fame. EDMBoston had the opportunity to greet Chuckie in his private VIP area, after he quietly took a seat and waited patiently to get onstage. He was very friendly and easy to see why he was so beloved by fans, besides his musical talent. EDMBoston asked him, “What can we expect next after Betatraxx?” to get some insight into the producers next work. However, Chuckie gave us a good cackle and said, “I’m not telling” in a friendly tone. Unfortunately we didn’t get to hear any news about exclusives but Chuckie was more then a good time to hang out with! He even dropped his new remix of Example.
He greeted the crowd with his customized sample that announced his presence, “D.D.D.Jayyyyyy Chuckieeeeeee” that was looped, chopped, and dissected to give a massive build up to his opening track. When Chuckie got on the Mic, we heard his legendary dutch voice that has been moving crowds around the world, “HELLO BOSTON!” From there Chuckie got into his rhythm and let us hear it.
After Chuckie got the Boston crowd comfortable with Ghost N Stuff. He brought down the house with His Mashup of Teen Overdrive featuring Nirvana and Tristan Garner. The second Overdrive came in, it hit the soul in only a way progressive house bangers can satisfy.
We knew one thing, Bijou’s sound system was ready to go. Two tracks into Chuckie’s set and it was thumping! The JBL system they installed into the club could knock and handle Chuckie’s dirty dutch bass productions. It was an electric atmosphere and the room’s focal point on the omnipresent stage was perfect for getting the crowd fixated on the dj. Not to mention, Chuckie is a great hype man to make it happen. The only question that night was could the crowd keep pace with Chuckie?
Chuckie was working his 3 cdj’s cleanly and with precision during the set. We were standing right next to him to take it all in. We capture unseen footage of DJ Chuckie in the booth, for our loyal EDMBoston.com followers. One of our favorite moments was when he worked the hotkeys and did a beat juggle with the accapella “I wanna Rock Right Now”. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXKtQuplBDI
Then there was Chuckie’s lengthy innovative way of mixing in Levels. He opted to scratch and loop in the Etta James vocals over the outro of “What Happens in Vegas”. Chuckie then brought in the beat of Cazzete’s NYC Mode Bootleg mix of Levels.
Chuckie was able to work the crowd at will during his set. Yelling out “Let me hear you make some noise if you like house music” and every time he’d get a loud reception. And then there was his now infamous “WHO IS READY TO JUMP?” which really set the crowd into a frenzy.
Fan Favorite moments of the show were when he played “We found love” chuckie remix and “Levels” Cazzette nyc mode bootleg. I think the biggest reaction came when chuckie did a slow fade down of Pjanoo and came back with “Paris Satisfaction” Chuckie Remix http://youtu.be/dTJ7Zfin6Bk?t=2m25s
However, the special part of the night came when DJ Chuckie palyed a tribute mashup to the late Whitney Houston.
EDMBoston favorites moments were, Chuckies new remix of “Changed The Way You Kiss Me” and Zedd - Slam the door and Mutate.

What you think would be such a tame beautiful indie track from the introduction turns into a monster. The monster created by Dillon Francis has been given an overhaul. The monster is known as IDGAFOS, as named by Dillon Francis and made famous by his large following. When the first edition came out, it was a cornerstone to the Moombahton movement. Now the subgenre has progressed IDGAFOS still remains as a cornerstone and a BADASS track!
Avicii is slowly coming back from his illness and hasn't done any gigs as of late. It looks like Avicii's tour schedule will be resuming the beginning of March. Nevertheless it is hard to say as it's never been truely released what was wrong with Avicii.
At Night Management dropped an official US Tour Recap of Avicii's recent US shows. We get pleasant footage of both Cazzette and Avicii and the shenangians that go on behind the scenes of these young House Stars.
Laidback luke, arno cost, and norman doray launch a feel good track to pick you up today. "Trilogy" is the title and it will be released on Mixmash Records. Trilogy was formerly known as "Yummie' but like it's title the tune as also undergone some changes.
