Tickets for the events go on sale this Thursday via Revel. Full schedule after the break.
Electro house mastermind Wolfgang Gartner in association with San Francisco’s Ruby Skye is invading Freeborn Hall at UC Davis in California on May 16th. Bringing along his protege and Kindergarten Records mainstay DallasK, the pair promises to deliver an experience that will shake the walls of Freeborn Hall with blistering electro from the genre’s most iconic producer. For our readers in the California area we’ve got tickets to giveaway, so hop past the break and enter now.
The lush green grass of The Empire Polo Club grounds swelled with half-naked twenty-somethings, bustling and buzzing like tributaries of people cutting through the crowd, flowing forth to the each of Coachella‘s six stages. The massive tents provided little relief from the desert’s sweltering heat, but underneath the Yuma tent, where Luciano would close that evening, was an air-conditioned safe haven. For those daring enough to brave the heat, the Sahara tent presented a spread of talent, including Boys Noize and Skrillex as the tandem Dog Blood. Our first day spent in Indio was defined by the Sahara and Yuma tents – and they will likely define the rest of our stay here.
If Wolfgang Gartner has proved anything in the last months, it’s that you can never predict what his next move will be. After releasing the irresistibly funky “Anaconda,” Wolfgang has previewed his next release: a progressive house production featuring the vocals of Danish pop star Medina. “Overdose” begins with signature high-pitched Gartner synths before quickly introducing an easy-going electro drop. The combination of Medina’s voice and the soothing progressive house overtone immediately evokes Deadmau5′s classic remix of Medina’s “You and I.” No word on the official release date yet.
Amidst the nearly incessant muttering of dance music fans who’ve become jaded by the industry’s so-called drought of creativity, there stands one man eager to quench the thirsts of those dejected. That man is Wolfgang Gartner, whose inaugural release of 2013 “Anaconda,” sees the prolific producer stepping outside of his electro house box for a twisted and impossibly funky offering – one that is reminiscent of his tracks of old. Unpredictable as always, Wolfgang pieces together a patchwork quilt of progressions and percussive flairs set to a backdrop of blaring sirens and a bouncy top line. Despite its slight departure, “Anaconda” is a Wolfgang Gartner production through and through, proving that it’s possible to maintain one’s sound while still changing styles.
Wolfgang Gartner has just tipped off fans with a preview of his latest release “Anaconda” due out March 5th. It’s a bit of a switch up for Joey; leaning less heavily on driving electro sounds of other recent releases and more on progressive and even trance-like padded synth work for its builds and breaks. Not all Wolfgang is lost — you can still hear those familiar high-pitched tones that have a certain way of sending a crowd into a frenzy. As always, it’s refreshing to see big name producers continuing to mix it up.
The annual Camp Bisco Festival has revealed its 2013 lineup. The event will return to Indian Lookout Country Club in upstate New York and for its 12th year taking place from July 11 through 13th. The lineup includes the festival’s founders and organizers The Disco Biscuts, alongside Bassnectar, Wolfgang Gartner, Boys Noize, and plenty more.
Camp Bisco has become one of the East Coast’s premiere camping festivals with its eclectic mixture of acts, amazing vibes, and great people. Look forward to nu-disco grooves from Areoplane, trap mosh pits with Baauer and RL Grime, long jam sessions with Lotus and STS9, and even big room electro from Tommy Trash.
Check back on our take from last year’s festival here, grab some tickets and start planning your camping trip.
The 2013 lineup for the infamous Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Tennessee has been announced and will feature a host of electronic artists including A-Trak, Boys Noize, Wolfgang Gartner, and Pretty Lights. In total, 2013′s cast of producers will nearly double from the five in 2012. From Porter Robinson to Four Tet, or Araabmuzik to Paper Diamond, Coachella’s less flashy cousin continues to welcome in the entire spectrum of electronica, pitting some of the genre’s top producers right alongside legendary artists like Tom Petty, Paul McCartney and the Beach Boys.
Full lineup after the break.
While we anxiously await the next new originals from both Deadmau5 and Wolfgang Gartner, the duo is back, in a way, this week with their remix package of last fall’s “Channel 42.” Though Pete Tong premiered Nom De Strip’s dance floor version of the tune on last week’s Essential Selection, mau5trap opted to eschew the more recognizable tune, officially releasing remixes from GTA and Eeekko alongside a reissue of the original.
While the original is a perfect blend of Deadmau5′s chord play and Wolfgang’s technicality, the remixes seem to look to the original more for inspiration than for actual parts, resulting in a package of three completely different songs. To hear electronic’s favorite animals like you’ve never heard them before, listen below.
