Drai's was fantastic. Was just cool enough outside at night and there was plenty of room to move around and dance. Crazy visual setup too.

That sounds awesome, I will definitely be checking that out next time I'm in Vegas. I really wanna go to EDC Vegas so maybe then. Which hotel was it in?

Entering the third day of EZoo and I can't fucking stand the main stages at all. It's like every single drop is some variation of that Garrix Animals stabbing sound or a dubstep drop circa 2011. Plus they don't bother mixing anymore, they just play the 30 seconds before the drop, then the drop, then the music goes quiet for a few seconds before they bring in the next song. It's literally just drop after drop after drop. It makes my ears bleed.

Thankfully the smaller stages have more than made up for it. Saw Paul van Dyk and Sasha tearing it up yesterday. Gonna try to get there early enough today to see The Magician, whose mixes I am in love with.

Yeah, unfortunately that's how most mainstage sets are. There's definitely great ones but usually it's pretty easy to figure out which ones are gonna play a full on bigroom house set and who's not. I'm all for having a set that goes hard but it's the guys who play different tracks and sets that nobody else plays (or don't play tracks that sound exactly like every other bigroom house track) that are the good ones.

Lol yeah right after The Magician's set we were heading over to Myon and Shane and the music just stopped all throughout the festival and we were asked to leave. We jumped into one of the tents thinking that the show would continue after the rain passed but they announced that the rest of the day was canceled so we just left.

Sucks, but thankfully I did finally get to see The Magician and he played the best set of EZoo by far. No regrets.

Not going to any more EZoos though lol.

I pre-ordered this album a few months ago and it arrived about a fortnight ago. This has to be one of the best ever prog house debut albums, just amazing from start to finish. A really nice journey over the course of 75 minutes, with some nice nods to other artists and genres along the way.

Best part is it's really well priced and direct from the label. €8 for the MP3s and €10 for the physical disc (with great packaging and presentation).

http://sixtysevensuns.bandcamp.com/album/imagination-creates-reality-album

Highly recommended! 5/5

Sounds interesting, I'll give it a shot.
 
whats so unique about it? It just sounds like every other typical "edm" tune, same sounds, same track layout all centered around the drop. Mate I'm only 21 but feel like I'm sounding like an old man, maybe its to do with fact over here in UK and Europe we've grown up around "dance" music as we call it and not some new phenomenon, atleast for most people in the US.

What other EDM song has Serj singing.

Any estimate on when Ultra 2015 tickets go on sale? Hoping to get in this time.
(Ideally on the cheap.)

I wouldn't be too worried about getting tickets to Ultra. They didn't sell out until after the festival had actually begun.

But if you're looking to get them cheap, just keep following the site. No information so far.

Just got an email, 9/15. Hoping to get an early bird deal.
 
Ultra Music Festival adds 18+ age restriction

http://edm.com/blog/ultra-music-festival-18-plus

Excellent news, I might seriously consider going now!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EDIT: EZoo cancelled for day 3 due to extreme weather conditions

https://twitter.com/ElectricZooNY/status/506182077466050561

The curse of the third day

Eh Ultra was so hit and miss for me. EDC Vegas is much better imo. Ultra was the shit shows of shit shows.
 
Yeah it's definitely not a priority for me, my next big festival is very likely gonna be EDC Vegas.

Yea EDC was awesome for me minus the shuttle situation on day 1 (I didn't get back to the strip until NOON), but hopefully they fix that up next year. Day 2 and 3 was fine they had plenty of shuttles, and lines moved at a decent speed.

Just watched Under The Electric Sky.

Dude... so many fucking feels. I almost cried in about 4 scenes. The whole thing is just beautiful and amazing. I highly recommended if you've been thinking about getting it.
 
Eric Prydz said:
After listening to you all I have some exciting news regarding EPIC 3.0 at MSG…

I have decided to play an extended 3 hour set - it will be totally live, unlike most other big production shows. No pressing play, no pre-synch. I want you all to feel part of this show, I want to feed off you to make this the best possible experience.

Lucky, lucky people.
 
I saw him do a three hour set at Tomorrowland but it was at mid day. Such a stupid time to put him on, I know they couldn't give him a three hour set at night on the main stage but Prydz needs to be seen when it's dark, he needs to hit you with those laser beams.

Hello EDM-Gaf!

POPGAF is celebrating Ten OT's of flawless music with a competition. We're doing a Battle Royale of our faves and you guys are invited to vote!

I know some of you enjoy popstars with EDM influences like Lady Gaga, Ellie Goulding, Rihanna, among others. You guys are welcome to send a PM to the event's organizer Soulscribe with your list of favorite female divas. You can only send ten (no order or ranking necesary) but if you only like 3 divas then you can just send those 3. We hope you all join us in our celebration!

Have a blessed day!
 
Progression- Reach Further; Cyber Funk- Computer Power; Wink- Higher State of Consciousness; Vicious Circles; I can't really remember the names of songs anymore; Rabbit in the Moon, Keoki mixes, Carl Cox, Oakenfold, Warren, Huda Hudia, DJ Icey, Sasha/Digweed, Sander Klienenburg- I know some of these guys are still around, but I was wondering who are the newer "superstars." Thanks for helping an old guy out.

I like Goa for a few songs.

Progressive House - Eric Prydz, Alesso (kinda leans into big room at times though), Steve Angello, Armin van Buuren at times, Above & Beyond (Anjunabeats in general really), Audien, Kaskade?

Genres are so hazy that YMMV.

I find it crazy that the above producers are Progressive House.

I always think of stuff like John Digweed, Sasha, Guy J, Deepfunk, Gai Barone and Elkee Kleijn.

I personally think genre labels are almost useless now, or they're at least used completely differently than they used to be. Was just trying to give a starting point for newer stuff.

I mean, look at the Beatport Progressive House chart (not that Beatport charts are at all useful anyway):

Edit: Changing gears - EDC vets, when should I start looking out for tickets and start planning flights/hotels/etc.? Thinking about going next year.
