In celebration of me finishing my finals today, I give you new music!! So last month, I got to see Canadian dubstep duo Zeds Dead live at the Ogden Theater in Denver, and it was insanely epic. This is a new track of theirs, which they dropped at the show. I’m pretty hooked on this one it’s so good!
The next track is Le Castle Vania’s new remix of Kakade’s “Turn it Down”. It really kicks, so turn up the bass! Enjoy!
Swedish house producer Avicii released the music video last week for the immensely popular house anthem, Levels. This track is one of my all time favorites. Just listen! Oh and the video is completely ridiculous by the way but really funny.
Have you ever heard a song that gives you chills? I’m talking make you quiver, make the hair on your arms and on the back of your neck stand up, kind of chills.
That’s what it feels like to me when I hear a perfectly constructed piece of electronic dance music. What can I say? I’m in love with the stuff. There is nothing quite like the music that modern producers are creating these days. It’s for that precise reason why this music scene has exploded in the past few years.
For example, the immensely popular EDM music festival massive, The Electric Daisy Carnival relocated this year from Los Angeles, its home of the past 14 years, to Las Vegas. The festival also expanded to three days instead of two. EDC 2010 in Los Angeles hosted 185,000 attendees over a two day weekend. EDC 2012 in Las Vegas hosted more than 230,000 party goers (including myself!)
I took this picture from a Ferris wheel overlooking the main stage (Kinetic Field) during Tiesto's set at EDC Vegas 2011.
What I love about EDM is the diversity of the genre. I’m never bored because there’s always something different and new that I’ve never heard. Every song is a unique experience.
The truth is there is something extremely special and unique about this scene. The music has so much energy and is so complex. It’s a global scene that unites its fans and promotes unity and enjoying life while we can. At EDC I felt like I was surrounded with friends and family. The vibe that this music creates is so amazing and I love that I’m living in this day and age to experience it.
Here are just a few of some of my favorite tracks, turn it up and partayy!
