The final day of edc came to a close, the sets were finished, the artists were on to their next gig, and Las Vegas had become raver-less. It was a weekend of epic proportion with all of the biggest names in dance music gracing the Las Vegas speedway and its revelers with their talent. The sea of people were awash in everything you can imagine, from Trap to Hard Style to Progressive House to Electro and every deviation in between. We’re sad to see it go, but our bodies couldn’t be happier. I’ll recap all the festivities that we experienced first hand now that we’re not sweating (woo!) on the track.
Krewella drops a new video, Q-dance and Steve Angello announce LA and NYC events, and a morning rave opens in London
Sure, it’s totally normal—if you live in Berlin, that is—to drop in to a club at 7 in the morning, but that wouldn’t usually fly elsewhere in the world. However, some enterprising London promoters are primed to bring something different to the morning-rave routine. Come on in and see what it’s all about.
- Firstly, fans of the hardest of hardstyle, get ready, because Q-dance is headed Stateside to Los Angeles’ Shrine Auditorium on October 5 for The Sound of Q-dance USA, with performances by Coone, Gunz for Hire, Humanoise, Noisecontrollers, Psyko Punkz, Wildstylez, and MC Villain.
- So, this at first seems a bit silly, but maybe it’ll work: a pair of promoters in Shoreditch, London, have opened a morning club with massages, smoothies, lots of dancing, and other details that they think might offer a replacement to hitting the gym first thing each day.
- Krewella’s “Live for the Night” video is now live, and it features the band at one of their biggest gigs yet. Check it below.
- Miami freestyle queen Debbie Deb’s “Lookout Weekend” and “When I Hear Music” are bona fide classics—and dancefloor-fillers, we’ll add—but the way she was treated by her record label and management leave much to be desired.
- This week at Richie Hawtin’s pre-Enter. pool party, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs and Eats Everything get wet.
- Nope, not T in the Park—Size in the Park. That’s right, Steve Angello’s Size Records has got a huge party planned for New York’s Central Park on September 28 and 29. Stay tuned for more details.
