  1. Electronic music is represented in many different spheres. We often think of the booming sounds of the mainstage of massive festivals such as Ultra or EDC, where upwards of 100,000 fans can gather and enjoy incredible grandiose production. However, dance music as we know it today, gained fame (or notoriety) in the 90s through underground warehouse parties. Remember those dudes in JNCO jeans and Dr. Seuss hats? They went to those underground raves. Last year Insomniac sought to revive that feeling with their Factory 93 series. Taking place at a massive warehouse south of Elysian Park in Downtown Los Angeles, Factory 93 has harkened toward techno, tech-house, and more underground style sounds with past performances from Hot Since 82, Get Real and Nicole Moudaber. That all changed this past weekend, when Factory 93 brought out the heavy artillery and had back-to-back nights with the only artist who can toe the line between mainstream progressive house, and dark brooding underground vibes, Eric Prydz. Eric dropped two special nights of Pryda sets for fans lucky enough to secure a ticket. In place of the standard disco ball, a large diamond-shape structurehung over the center of the massive warehouse just west of the LA river. Although it was a warehouse, there were thousands of fans packed inside, it was a massive affair. Although, the lighting and effects were minimal, Eric’s lasers still did their thing and mesmerized the crowd, especially after he dropped “Rebel XX” and took the crowd into full Pryda mode. Being a Pryda set, and not an Eric Prydz set, missing were massive hits like “Generate” “Everyday” or “Opus.” Instead fans were treated to Eric’s own brand of tech-house jams, such as “In the Reds” (you know Cirez D was lurking) as well as the stunning and beautiful chord progressions of Pryda tracks. Highlights were Eric taking the stage and setting the tone with some beautiful chord progressions. When he dropped “Rebel XX,” every single person in the crowd lost their shit after the drop of “2000 People on the Dancefloor!” And when I called it a night after 3 AM when he dropped a Pryda ID that was featured on Episode 16 of EPIC Radio. Whether he’s himself, Pryda, or Cirez D, there really is nothing like a live Eric Prydz set. Factory 93 will be heading to Mexico in May with a special performance from Richie Hawtin. Factory 93 will return to DTLA on May 20th with Drumcode featuring Adam Beyer. This article was first published on Your EDM.

  2. Euphoria Music Festival is known for putting on one of the best U.S. festivals year after year, and last weekend something really special happened… You might not have known just by glancing at this photo below that earlier last weekend festival goers covered the grounds as artists like Alesso, Chromeo, Pretty Lights, Wiz Khalifa, Young Thug, Zeds Dead, Knife Party and so many more took over the stages. Because, look how beautifully spotless it is! With the environment initiative in full effect at Euphoria, festival goers were reminded to clean up after themselves upon leaving stages (duh!) and to pick up more if they had extra time. The “Leave No Trace” mantra also carried through to a Facebook group to organize pickups, and trash bags were handed out to those in the crowd at the end of the event. The results are incredible! If you’re going to a music festival this summer, take note because this is how you party respectfully! H/T: EDM Sauce This article was first published on Your EDM.

  4. If you’re a Porter Robinson fan, you’ve watched Worlds: The Movie, a fan made effort to bring the magic of his heartfelt shows home to you. Now, Huntroxic shares another concert film for Porter & Madeon‘s Shelter Live Tour, featuring audio and visual remakes produced solely by fans. “The whole significance of the show is how it’s two artists, who fans have wanted to see work together for years, coming together and doing a single tour,” Huntroxic said. “And then that’s it. Once the tour is over, it’ll become just a memory. The movie quickly became a project dedicated to sharing and saving that memory.” After the huge reception of his past YouTube movies, the fan support made all of the difference in producing the complete set-length Shelter: The Movie — that’s truly the next best thing to seeing it live. “With the hundreds and hundreds of hours each of us put in there’s a very distinctly noticeable improvement from the Worlds movie in literally every aspect I would say.” Shelter: The Movie is dedicated to those who weren’t fortunate enough to see it live, and those who want to cherish their memory of it. Experience it right here! Producer & Editor: Huntroxic Audio Producer: Porter Robinson, Madeon, Huntroxic, Thedialol, Kyllian, JC Music, Weldeon, Wolfen X, Michael Keefe, N3HL, Skylimit, Mushroomizer, Orlo, Biansci, BradyB, Ryguytoo, McMania332, Ferret, Straytide, Shrubpig Visual Recreation: LostDexter, Huntroxic Filmers: (See Credits) This article was first published on Your EDM.

  5. Sometimes, making music doesn’t have to be all about innovation or feelings. Sometimes, it’s good enough to just make something people can dance to at the end of the night, and that’s exactly what NGHTMRE and Ghastly have done with their new collaboration. The warbly bass house banger uses elements of breaks and trap to do just one thing: get your feet moving. With ease and panache, they’ve made a seminal hit that likely won’t go down in history, but it will still make its way into many playlists. And with heavy hitters getting ready to tear up Coachella this weekend – from the Sahara tent to the Heineken House and Do Lab – we’re pretty sure we’ll be hearing this a lot. Check out “End Of The Night” below, out now via Mad Decent. Image via Rukes.com This article was first published on Your EDM.

  6. We’re a fan of heavy bass music here at Your EDM, so when the opportunity came to share this promo mix from up and coming producer Carbin, the choice was clear… The 10-minute promo mix contains 8 fresh IDs from Carbin, including collaborations with MineSweepa, Lookas and Crizzly. Each track is ready-made for the dance floor and capable of crushing rib cages, so beware: eardrums might be broken with how loud you’ll be bumping this. You should be seeing all of these tracks surface over the course of 2017… maybe a little more, who knows? Listen to the mix below! 1. Carbin x MineSweepa – ID 2. Carbin x Crizzly x Prismo – ID 3.

  7. A man was arrested Sunday by Travis County police on suspicion of masturbating in a crowd at Euphoria Music and Camping Festival in Austin, Texas. Three attendees told security that the man in question rubbed his genitals while covering them with his shirt at the festival’s Element Stage on Sunday, according to the arrest affidavit. The man, 39-year-old Reginald Charles Sanders, told the security who approached him that he didn’t do anything, according to the arrest report. Sanders now faces a misdemeanor charge of indecent exposure. He was placed in Travis County jail, but is no longer in custody. According to the report, Sanders has been arrested twice before on exposure charges in Travis County. Source: Statesman This article was first published on Your EDM.

  8. It’s Good Friday so I highly doubt most of you guys will be awake as I’m writing this but nevertheless for those that are – let’s get your day started off the right way with this banging new remix from 10Digits of “Can’t Stand Still” by AlphaCub. This official remix landed in my inbox and despite me not recognizing either artist, has since thoroughly been stuck in my head since I opened that email. Warm tropical influences flood in around AlphaCub’s lush vocals before we’re hit with a subtle future bass drop that retains the same mellow tropical influences from the beginning of the song. Stream it below! This article was first published on Your EDM. Source: Your EDM Premiere: AlphaCub – Can’t Stand Still (10Digits Remix) Source
  9. Hey dude welcome. Ask any Q's in the beginners section and everyone will try to help
  10. Yesterday, “Broccoli” achieved the supremely rare status of a 5x platinum certification from the RIAA. Most critics would agree that the whimsical single by rappers D.R.A.M. and Lil Yachty was far and away one of 2016’s surprise hits establishing D.R.A.M. as a breakout hip-hop artist. Now, Chet Porter’s delivered an equally whimsical remix putting his unconventional video-game inspired synths to good use. The transformed instrumental actually ends up turning the single what I would consider a better song than the original. The catchy synths and xylophone (?) complement both rappers’ flow with a quirky atmosphere and feel-good aesthetic that only Chet Porter could pull off. Stream it below!

  11. Heavy trap crossed with breakbeat goodness? Yes, please. Expect all that and more from SWAGE’s latest single, “How We Do”. The new release merges indomitable lead screeches with fierce percussion and classic brass elements to complete a primetime rage anthem. Rest assured, you’ll be hearing more of this beast soon. Grab the free download courtesy of Run The Trap, and check out what the pirate himself has to say about the new track. “Been getting a lot of inspiration from new sounds I’ve been hearing lately. Been super into a lot of hard trap lately so I wanted to incorporate it into more of a breakbeat vibe.” This article was first published on Your EDM. Source: SWAGE – How We Do [Free Download] Source
  12. Sometimes a story arrises that simply brings warmth to your heart, and this is one of those stories. Sumiko Iwamuro is an 82-year-old Japanese dumpling maker who also works part time as a Techno DJ. Based in Tokyo, Sumiko performs once a month where she delves into a deep selection of techno cuts for Japans red-light district after spending her day crafting dumplings. Just when you thought some goals were too hard to achieve, this woman is literally a living example that that is not the case at all. Check out the video on Sumiko via Al Jazeera
  13. The great thing about techno music is that those who pioneered their respective scenes are still about today. Steve Bicknell is one such master. The hallmark of the London based producer and DJ is his Lost partied who he ran with Sheree Rashit. Before Lost was established, Steve was already a renouned figure in the UK club scene, having played at the legendary Energy raves in the late 80's which attracted crowds of up to 20,000 people. Lost was started in 1991 by Steve and Sheree, with the intent of enriching the club culture in London with bespoke raves. Steve would set the environment up with a meticulous attention to detail, making sure that everything was in its place, from the netting to the lighting, to maximise the sensory experience. It goes without saying that Lost was a strong tributary to the rise of techno and house in the UK. Jeff Mills, Robert Hood, Richie Hawtin and others all played their first UK shows at Lost. You could say that Steve ad Sheree where true taste makers, and that's putting it lightly. Other names that graced the Lost events include Juan Atkins, Derrick May, Luke Slater, Dave Angel, James Ruskin, Mark Broom and many more. I think you get the picture now. Steve is a hero amongst all us techno heads as he had the audacity to stick his neck out in a time when techno was new and fresh, and help brew a culture that now thrives today. Steve is coming down to Australia for show on April 22nd and 23rd (see the bottom of the article for event details), so the most prudent move was to ask the man himself a few questions. Enjoy. FS: I’m sure I speak for many people in Australia when I say that we’re excited for your return to the land down under. How have your past experience(s) been in Australia? Is there a memorable moment, in or outside a gig environment, that comes to mind? Is there something you wish to see or do on your upcoming trip? SB: Past experiences great, nice people, great parties and good food and weather of course. A memorable moment was my first visit to play and thinking 'I'm the other side of the world and this party could be in my hometown'. Basically I was impressed. Something I wish to see or do, well I'm only around briefly so to relax enjoy the parties, be a tourist and see and experience as much as possible. FS: You’ll be playing two shows, one in Sydney and one in Melbourne. What's your thoughts on the electronic music scene in the two cities? Is there any particular concept that you wish to present to crowds during your sets or do you prefer to read the crowd when you play? SB: I've played both Melbourne and Sydney in the past but that was a long time ago as I mentioned previously I was impressed on my previous visits. Both the energy and knowledge of the crowd was amazing, having spoken to friends who have played recently they only have good things to say about both cities so I'm looking forward to my visit. My concept is always to play as much new and unreleased material as possible and experiment whilst playing. FS: What emotion do you remember experiencing when you first heard electronic music? Was there a particular artist who first introduced you to the sounds of techno and house? SB: I would say my real introduction to the world of house/techno was by Jazzy M as he was working in a record shop I frequented called "Spin Off Records", this must of been around 86/87, I walked in one day Jazzy M was playing Liz Torres "What You Make Me Feel" whilst jackin behind the counter, that's a great memory I can still visualise the that moment to this day. My emotion, excitement, my thought, what the hell is this. FS: You begun to DJ before you made music. What made you want to start mixing and making music? SB: Dj'ing - I was a music collector from a young age, so if any friends were holding parties, I'd be asked to play as I had records. Producing - As a producer, a friend of mine Phil Asher kept saying to me why don't you go into the studio and make a record, eventually Phil organised the studio and engineer. Another friend Nigal and I went into the studio with my record bag of music I was playing at the time, we were introduced to the world of sampling, can't remember if we were in the studio for one or two days, made two tracks which ended up getting us a 3 single and album deal with Paul Oakenfold's Perfecto Records. FS: You release music under various alias. What made you choose to release under different names and what purpose does each hold? SB: Mmmmm maybe I have multiple personalities or sometimes I like to get away from Steve Bicknell :)) As for the purpose of each, The S.B Project was focused on an area between Chicago house and Techno, Kim Bilir translates into "Who Knows" and The Evader is to escape to evade reality. FS: Between 2005 and 2014, you took a break from releasing music. Why was this and what made you get back into producing tracks? SB: I stopped producing for a number of reasons, the sound of Techno had changed, I felt it had lost it's spirit and become metallic and harsh, all was becoming extremely business focused. I began to feel I was producing music to meet release schedules all of this combined dented my passion for producing music so I decided to stop. Richie Hawtin got me back in the studio to remix Plastikman, which awakened my interest in producing. FS: For those who may not know, what was it in your opinion that set LOST apart from other parties back in the day? SB: A clear focus, creating the environment, caring about what you are presenting. FS: You were the first to bring names such as Jeff Mills and Robert Hood over to London. How did you find out about their music initially and what was the crowd reaction at the time when they played? SB: I was buying and playing their music, so wanted to invite them to play at Lost. I would say every artist that has played Lost gets a good reception, Lost is music focused along with being very relaxed. FS: Since having started LOST and been with it since its inception, what’s some lessons that you’ve learnt from running the outfit? SB: Make sure the location has enough power to run the sound system :)))) Follow your instinct...... FS: To follow on, what is some lessons you’ve learnt from running a record label (6dimensions) and what advice would you pass on to those who are thinking of starting their own? SB: Well..... I'd say be true to yourself and plan ahead. FS: Can we expect more records on 6dimensions and more Lost Recordings? SB: On 6dimensions, next release (METRO SKIM) should be out in May, followed by Heartless June/July and a release from myself August/September. In November I aim to introduce another artist, Jing which is a conceptional release away from what people would expect. As 6dimensions develops the span of material will widened. 6dimensions focus is to be open, it's not really a record label as such I see it as a creative outlet. Throughout the year my past productions from Lost etc. will be interspersed alongside the 6dimensions release schedule which will be on vinyl and digital format. FS: Behind each one of your pieces of music, there is purpose. What creative process do you have before writing a music? For example, do you think of a concept and then work towards that or does it’s your process change from time to time? SB: All of the above really, producing music for me is about where you are at that moment in time. 6dimensions is an exploration into balance and imbalance of the human mind's natural make-up, these 6dimensions are Love, Joy, Fear, Hatred, Boredom and Sexuality, which lays a solid foundation to explore. FS: What’s the most memorable experience you’ve had playing a gig, be it good or bad or both? SB: Playing a party in 89, the crowd parting like the sea from the film "The Ten Commandments", a naked long haired man appeared and then disappeared and the party continued as if nothing had happened that was a tad surreal for that time. Seb: You played as part of LSD at Berghain on the weekend, with Luke Slater and Function, how was that received? SB: I always enjoy playing Berghain, such a great friendly openminded place that goes across the board from the staff to the audience, amazing space, sound and lighting. We have played two LSD shows now at Berghain, both have gone down well and I get to collaborate with two friends, that's nice. Seb: Recently you’ve also been performing live along side Luke Slater as part of PAS. How do you contribute to Slater’s dynamic in this collaboration and does it extend beyond live performance and into the studio? SB: My part in the PAS shows, I free up Luke a little to focus on the impromptu. Steve's Australian shows: Melbourne: Machine gets Lostwith Steve Bicknell - April 22nd at My Aeon. Click for event.

  14. Discogs' new hardware marketplace, Gearogs, is now officially open. This new venture was announced by Discogs CEO Kevin Lewandowski last month, whose plan to launch a marketplace spawned from the fact their was a gap in the market, disallowing audiophiles in connecting with each other to buy and sell goods. In their mission statement, Discogs have explained the motive behind Gearogs as follows: “With your help we’ll list every turntable, audio recorder, amplifier, effect pedal, microphone, and every other piece of audio gear conceived. Any equipment that records, amplifies, mixes, or reproduces audio, belongs here.” The store is already jam-packed with over 10,000 turntables, synthesisers, headphones, mixers, sequencers, tape machines and more, and is bond to continue growing at a swift pace.

  15. Not only does SebastiAn have a new track coming out on Ed Banger’s forthcoming compilation, ED Rec 100, he’s also just released a new remix of Serge Gainsbourg and Bridgette Bardot’s 1968 single, ‘Bonnie & Clyde’. It turns out the track is actually taken from a new Nissan Micra advert which sees two starcrossed lovers escaping into the desert. The remix itself is a little softer than you might expect from Seb but we’re not complaining. So a new track and a remix — maybe an album next? We sure hope so. The post Listen to a new remix from French electro don SebastiAn appeared first on HBF. Source
