2011. The Year Of Dance Music.

This year has truely been magical in the EDM Industry.  So many amazing things have happened and the movement exploding in the US was the crown jewel.  Furthermore 2011, marked the founding of EDMBoston.

We'd like to reach out and thank all of the fans.  You are what make this website happen.  Your generous page views and clicks of our partner ads keep the website going.  In addition, I'd like to thank the kind people at the Estate for hooking EDMBoston up with access to visiting DJ's.

There is so much to look forward to in 2012 but 2011 will not be a year to be forgotten.  We saw Swedish House Mafia do a historic take over of Madison Square Garden, Alesso break on to the scene, Skrillex capture the hearts of the EDM underground movement, and the first national EDM Tour in the US happen (Identity Festival).  In addition, lets not forget about Kaskade loading up a traktor trailer to do a mobile live set and cause a riot or the time Deadmau5 covered an entire building with a video screen.

Boston even got in on the mix.  Afrojack, Tiesto, Deadmau5, Markus Schulz, Ferry Corsten, Martin Solveig, Avicii, and Chuckie were just a few of the names to visit us.  UMass and other colleges are fully embracing EDM on campus and transitioned from a hip-hop based culture to that of House/PLUR.  With the infrastructure set we can't imagine what is ahead for Identity festival 12 and all the clubs have in store for us.

So much good has happen this year that we can't list it all.
