Kaskade Summer Tour Announced - It's You It's Me

Fresh off of Ultra weekend, Kaskade has a big announcement to make! Kaskade will have a summer tour this year! Despite having locked down a summer residency in Las Vegas called "Summer Lovin", the busy producer will also take to the road for his fans across America.

The tour will be celebrating the 10 year anniversary of Kaskade's debut artist album, "It's You, it's Me".

"I thought in April, it would be cool to go out and play some of the original rooms that I used to play 10, 12 years ago. [I'll] do a tour [in] a select few cities and play some of these smaller rooms, play more intimate, a more deeper set for people who used to come out ages ago." said Kaskade in a recent interview with Billboard.

Be prepared for something completely different then his Freaks of Nature tour.  Kaskade will be traveling with only his DJ bag, and emphasized the fact that there will be no lasers and no LED screens, quoted saying: "it's the opposite of my last tour."

Kaskade summer tour dates will be announced early next week. If you're one for a mystery, you'll like this tour, as Kaskade has said that the venues he will be performing at will be held under wraps in an attempt to give his biggest fans the best chance of scoring tickets.

Excision at House of Blues - Show Review

by Kat S.

The House of Blues is still shaking after Excision and his Executioner hit the stage on Friday night. Alongside Paper Diamond, Excision put on a great show with a ton of bass.

Playing to a packed house, Paper Diamond played a great set in front of his multicolored visuals. The set consisted of great remixes and a couple of originals, including his hit “Can’t Tell Me Nothing,” that kept the crowd pumped and ready for more.

Once Excision hit the stage, though, House of Blues was blown away. With over 100,000 watts of bass and intense visuals, Excision set the scene for an intense set. Starting off, Excision was no where to be seen and instead “The Executioner” filled the stage. Using video-mapping and 3-D projector technology, animations came alive and were synced with Excision’s audio to visually stun the crowd. After “The Executioner” turned into what appeared to be a spaceship transformer like creature, lasers shot out the front and a window opened to reveal Excision, a truly epic entrance.

Avicii Dropping New Album Tonight at Ultra

For those lucky enough to be attending the second weekend of Ultra, Avicii has a surprise in store! The  Swedish DJ won't just be replaying his set from last weekend.

Tonight, during his main stage performance, he plans on playing most or all of his new album! In a Facebook post yesterday, Avicii said:

"Premiering my new album on ULTRA MAINSTAGE tomorrow. My set starts at 9:00 pm sharp. We're about to change this performance game yet again - cc Ultra Music Festival At Night Managament."

Avicii has already made a big impact at Ultra 2013 this year with his popup hotel, "The Avicii Hotel," where he gives guests the 24 hour EDM experience while they stay at the hotel.

Last year, he tried to make a large impact by teaming up with Madonna during his performance, which was seen as a total flop by many. But tonight is just Avicii, showing the world his next album!

If you're not in Miami, you can watch the set on UMFTV at PM.

Or, you can subscribe to EDMBoston's newsletter to keep up to date on the next time Avicii comes to Boston!

Tomorrowland Sensation Sold to SFX

BREAKING NEWS: On the heels of SFX buying out beatport they have reloaded and acquired two of the biggest festivals. Tomorrowland and Sensation have been sold to SFX Entertainment. Read below for details from inthemix.

it's a said day in dance music! expect ticket prices to rise at a minimum 20%

(Inthemix)Coming swiftly after the announcement that ID&T would be expanding its Tomorrowland empire to the U.S. with TomorrowWorld, the Dutch powerhouse has made a significant announcement. After much speculation, ID&T is officially becoming part of SFX Entertainment, the American company run by Robert F.X. Sillerman, who pledged to spend $1 billion on acquisitions within a year. According to an official release, the Amsterdam-based ID&T is valued at $130 million. Billboard reports that SFX has acquired 75-percent of ID&T’s entire global business at a price of approximately $97.5 million.

ID&T director Duncan Stutterheim had already struck an American joint venture with Sillerman, foreshadowing this more comprehensive move. The famed Sensation event made its entry to the New York market in October last year with backing from SFX’s competitor Live Nation. ID&T will keep Amsterdam as its ‘creative hub’, with new offices set to open in South America and Asia. As the press announcement at Miami’s Delano Hotel put it, the “creative heart of ID&T” responsible for the event and festival concepts will remain entirely in Dutch hands, remaining in Amsterdam under the name M-Design. “This next step will see us become part of a globally active company, enhancing our ability to roll out our creative concepts on a global level,” Stutterheim says. Alongside Tomorrowland, Q-dance and Sensation, three of its most globally-recognised brands, ID&T stages European institutions like Mysteryland, Welcome To The Future and ENERGY.

Sillerman has made no secret of the fact he’s a dance music outsider, but his spending spree has been honed-in on the booming EDM market. His first acquisitions, Disco Donnie Presents and Dayglow Productions, were just the beginning. The first months of 2013 saw Sillerman add Voodoo Experience and Beatport to the SFX portfolio, and now the ink has dried on the company’s biggest buyout yet.

Hardwell at Ultra Music Festival 2013 Set

Hardwell took the stage on Saturday of Week 1 at Ultra Music Festival promising an "epic" set.  While these words are tossed around casually from your standard EDM artist, these words rarely leave Hardwell's lips.

Nevertheless, in Hardwell's back stage interview on Saturday with UMFTV, he said that he had 10 new songs to play for his weekend 1 Ultra Music Festival 2013 set.  He went on to say the 10 new tracks consisted of his own material and new tracks from his label.

With so much new material, one has to ask how do you fit it into a small mainstage act? Hardwell said that he has spent the past month working on and thinking about the set.  As you know Hardwell rarely plans out his sets. However, due to the nature of Ultra and the eyeballs watch, Hardwell said it's important to give Ultra everything you've got. So listen to Hardwell at Ultra music Festival 2013 set below becomes its absolutely ridiculously great Hardwell!

With that being said, we can't wait for Hardwell's return to Ocean Club this Summer cause last year was great!

Massive Accident on Ultra Main Stage!

On the eve of Ultra Music Festival's first weekend of EDM and partying, two of the event's workers are now in serious condition after the main stage partially collapsed onto them. The now broken section of the LED screen, nearly 7 feet high, now put Ultra organizers at the mercy of Miami authorities.

The Assiciated Press reports that the ultra main stage accident scene will be reviewed by several city officials on Friday, the first scheduled day of the festival. Once approved, the main stage will be finished and continue on as planned.

Festival organizers released the following statement after the accident:

"[Thursday, March 14] as preparations were being made for this weekend's Ultra Music Festival, a section of an LED screen fell and injured two workers. Fire Rescue was on site so there was a rapid response. Festival organizers are working with, and supporting, authorities as they investigate the details behind the accident."

Although the exact condition of the workers is still unknown, the accident brings to light the many dangers of organizing such an expansive event in a city locale. The two weekend event averaged nearly 55,000 people per day last year, overrunning the city of Miami.

Storys have broke that the Swedish House Mafia's custom LED screen was involved in the incident.

Dillon Francis "Suit and Tie Remix": Track Review

By Justin M:

       The wild and crazy Dillon Francis is at it again with another FIRE remix of Justin Timberlake's new track with Jay-Z "Suit and Tie". Being a fan of JT, I had high hopes for this song when it first came out but it seriously failed to entertain me. It was too slow for my taste, and I thought Jay-Z's verse was subpar compared to other tracks that he has been featured on. With that being said, I was beyond excited when I heard that Big Dill was coming out with a remix.

Knife Party to Preview New Album at Ultra Gig

(Miami New Times) Seizure music, death electro, and derpstep. 

Those are the extreme EDM genres Knife Party's Rob Swire and Gareth McGrillen use to describe their music, which reveals a couple of things about these Australian dudes: (1) they don't take themselves too seriously and (2) they dig dangerous fun. 

After bumrushing the scene in late 2011, this duo seized the dubstep world by the throat with a pair of EPs entitled 100% No Modern Talking and Rage Valley. Initially, no one knew the true makeup of Knife Party's membership. It was soon revealed, though, that Swire and McGrillen, two members of popular drum 'n' bass group Pendulum, were behind the buzz. 



Only two years deep into this particular project, the Knife Party dudes have already collaborated with EDM megastars like Swedish House Mafia on club killer "Antidote" -- not to mention unreleased tracks with Skrillex, Steve Aoki, and Kill the Noise. And so, rabid fans are eagerly awaiting an untitled third EP. But in the meantime, they're flocking to go get slashed at Ultra Music Festival 2013. 

During the fest, you'll actually have two chances to become more than "Internet Friends" with the men of Knife Party. On Saturday evening during weekend one, Swire and McGrillen will beat up the subs on Ultra's main stage. But even if you've only got a ticket for the second weekend, it's no sweat. Just join the dub-drunk mob at the Ultra Worldwide stage on Sunday, March 24, and watch as they "Destroy Them with Lazers." 



Now if Knife Party's official Twitter[see below] is to be believed, that untitled third EP has already been mastered and it's almost ready to hit shelves. So maybe Swire and McGrillen are planning to draw first blood on those tracks for UMF fans. 



But whatever the plan, Miami's guaranteed some seriously dangerous fun.

Boston: The Newest Mecca for EDM

By Mike H:

When it comes to the most hyped-up destinations for the heavy-hitters of dance music, Boston is probably not your first thought. Superstars tend to hit clubs in Miami, Los Angeles, New York, and Las Vegas; with DJs such as Kaskade and Eric Prydz  holding down residencies. However given the insane amount of talent that has essentially paraded through the city since last Fall, Boston is rapidly making a case for placing its name among the list of premier cities for EDM in the United States. We even have our own music festival: the Together Festival.

While top acts have long made a point to stop in Boston, major shows tended to be widely spread throughout the year. Now, as we gear up for what's shaping up to be an incredible festival season, many of us find ourselves having to pick and choose which shows to go to, as it seems like there is a major show at least once a week. As more and more clubs get in on the action with lucrative EDM nights, promotion companies are finding it easier and easier to lure big names to Boston.

Until recently, electronic music shows were limited to a few venues such as the House of Blues, Royale, and the Middle East. Beginning two summers ago,  Ocean Club in Quincy began hosting Sunday night shows, featuring superstars such as Hardwell, Nicky Romero, and Bingo Players. Other clubs followed suit, with Prime, Bijou, and Gypsy Bar also bringing in an eclectic range of big-name DJs to grace their decks.

As winter moves towards spring, and as Boston clubs continue to sell out show after show, expect Boston promoters to keep reeling in more and more star-studded talent. We can't wait to see what the next year has to offer!

Zedd at the House of Blues Boston Review

By Kyle D:

Have you ever sat down on the floor during a show? If you were at Winter White Tour’s last stop at the sold-out House of Blues featuring breakthrough artist Zedd last Wednesday, you would have. Zedd was called back onstage to the echoing roar of “One more song! Woo!” by the wild Boston crowd. The chant was answered with a crazy remix of Zedd’s infamous song “Spectrum”, as the entire crowd sang along. During the buildup, Zedd got on his mic and asked everyone in the building to get low on the floor and go crazy when the bass drops; and crazy we went. The entire crowd rocketed into the air as the smoke machines pumped confetti over the swarm of energetic fans whose eyes were wide with amazement due to the lasers and strobes lights. It was a euphoric moment that wont soon be forgotten by anyone that was there.

Brothers Weuter and Sjoerd Janssen, the masterminds behind ShowTek, are by no means new to the scene, but their recent surge in chart topping success with their collaboration with Tiesto "Hell Yeah" and tracks like their song with Justin Prime- "Cannonball"- has them looking fresh and ready to go. The duo has long been a mainstay in clubs and venues across Europe, but their wildly popular new podcast has them gaining momentum in the United States as well.

Daft Punk Moves Forward with Columbia Records

By Kyle D:

Most music fans are familiar with the Grammy-winning, French electro-house duo, Daft Punk. Daft Punk consists of two French DJs, Guy-Manuel de Homen- Christo and Thomas Bangalter. This dominant duo has produced some of dance music's most well known house anthems, such as the classic "One More Time", having been a major part of the EDM scene since the early 90’s. By 2007, Daft Punk's shows were exclusive and legendary as they produced less music,  and began to fall off the radar.

The electronic duo has yet to release any new music since they were featured in the Tron: Legacy soundtrack in 2010, released by Walt Disney records. Since the release of the soundtrack, Daft Punk has been laying low leaving fans wondering if their reign had come to an end. However, recently rumors of a new album set to be released in the Spring of 2013 have exploded across the EDM community.
