4 Reasons Lollapalooza Needs EDM


Westward dropped the following article.  Do you agree with their 4 reasons Lollapalooza needs edm?

By IAN TRAAS
(Westward) With every year that passes, it feels like electronic dance music gains a bigger foothold in the summer festival circuit, and the climb in popularity was especially apparent at Lollapalooza 2012. Music that used to be confined to clubs and illicit warehouse parties has been adopted wholeheartedly by a new generation -- a generation that now has as many ties to house and dubstep as it does to rock and rap. The saturation of dance beats in television, radio and advertising of all sorts has worked its eventual magic, allowing DJs and producers to conquer the world without ever needing to pick up a guitar. From Avicii to Justice to Bassnectar, the headliners at the Midwest's biggest music festival are proving that rave is now a huge component of mainstream teen culture.

At some point, you've got to hand it to Perry Farrell: He saw this coming. The Jane's Addiction frontman/Lollapalooza mastermind knew a shift was occurring when Daft Punk headlined the Chicago festival in 2007, and every Lolla iteration since has...

Mimosa Boston Show Announced. Tickets are FREE...Details


By Deirdre:

Just like us, when you hear “free tickets” we‘re sure you can’t help but be skeptical. That circumstance becomes ever more iffy when the free show we’re hearing about is at the House of Blues and the show is MiM0SA. Rest assured EDM Boston readers, we’ve looked into it and Mismosa Boston show, presented by Budweiser on Thursday August 16 is indeed free!

Now if you haven’t heard of MiM0SA yet, you need to get him on you’re DJ radar and keep him there.  
MiM0SA, also known as Tigran, has taken the West coast by storm and quickly worked his popularity east. He is a 23-year-old dubstep, hip-hop/grime producer who has played at festivals such as Red Rock, Electric Zoo, and Summer Camp.  His set this summer at Camp Bisco has been raved about and you can read more about iton EDMBoston's Camp Bisco Review.  

Now Budweiser is presenting Boston with a free Mimosa show. Whether you’ve heard of him, seen him before, or are his biggest fan, this is just something you can’t turn down. 

MiM0SA is known for bending genres and soundscapes. He intertwines Moombahton, hip-hop, downtempo, dubstep, and anything else he can get his hands on. 

Unfortunately (like many EDM shows this summer) the event is 21+ but signing up and receiving tickets is as easy as 1, 2, 3. All you have to do is go to the MIM0SA @ House of Blues in Boston, MA Facebook event and click on the link. From there, you will be asked to ‘like’ Budweiser on Facebook and then enter your email address. I received my ticket within a day, but some of my friends took longer. If you don’t receive an email you will be able to show your ID at will call and get your ticket there.

If you have yet to see MiM0SA this is you’re chance to be wowed for free.

Axwell Ushuaia Ibiza Live Mix from 03/08/12


After the Swedish House Mafia invited Pete Tong to play at their final set ever in the UK at Milton Keynes Bowl, Pete Tong thought it was only right to feature Axwell Ushuaia set live on his radio show.  We couldn't be happier with the love in the air.

Axwell's set starts off with top 40 but the last half is interesting stuff!

Top 3 Reasons Electric Zoo Ticket is A Must!




Top 3 Reasons Electric Zoo Ticket is a Must!

By Deirdre:

Summer is winding down, and if you’re anything like me all your paychecks have been spent on countless concerts. The idea of spending $360.80 on a 3-day Electric Zoo ticket, plus a hotel, food and anything else you may need seems rather daunting.  Fear not EDM Boston readers, I have the answers to your prayers, a list of 3 reasons why you NEED to buy your Electric Zoo ticket today.

1)Best End of Summer Party

Whether you want to hear it or not, summer and festival season are winding down. As much as we’d all like to live in a place where we could gather with our friends, thousands of strangers and hours upon hours of great music we can’t. Electric Zoo is your last chance this summer to dance for three days straight.

2) I LOVE New York…

New York City is an amazing place to visit, especially in the summertime. Electric Zoo is on Randall’s Island, which is located on the East River between Manhattan, Queens, and the Bronx. This allows many possible locations for lodging. NY is also famous for their food. That means late night after the festival you'll be able to hit up amazing diners and various other places that aren't McDonalds.  Not to mention the vendors inside Electric Zoo will offer variations of the food you’d see walking the streets of New York. Instead of living off hot dogs and granola bars, you’ll be able to stay hydrated and fueled with delicious food. If that wasn’t enough NYC is also home to Ibiza’s franchise Pacha that will be hosting many after parties, if you can handle more partying.




3) The Lineup…

The main reason we ALL attend festivals is for the line up and Electric Zoo is not disappoint this year. No matter what sub-genre of EDM you’re into, there will be someone for you. They have huge headliners such as Skrillex, Tiesto, Axwell, Diplo and Boys Noize just to name a few. Acts range from Above and Beyond for the Trance family to dubstep and electro acts by Rusko (as a special guest) and Krewella. The lineups everyday offer something different for all different tastes throughout their 4 stages.

Your Labor Day weekend this year should be spent where every EDM fan should be… on Randall’s Island enjoying the last weekend of summer with you’re friends! With everything Electric Zoo and New York have to offer this should be a no brainer… I actually am not really sure why you’re still reading this… GO BUY YOUR TICKET!!!
