With the ground no longer vibrating beneath our feet and the beats done reverberating in our brains, it's time for the Spring Awakening Day 2 round-up. With sets from Paul Oakenfold , Zeds Dead , Lucky Date and more, we could tell you about each set, each scream and each smile, but instead we've opted to tell you about the night based on what was left behind. We give you five things found on the ground at Spring Awakening this past Saturday. [...]

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of spending the day with four fine French individuals by the name of Pitchin, Charlie, Thomas and Pho. It was a unique situation for two reasons: First, because when else does a girl get to spend the better part of a day out on the town with four hot French guys? In Paris, anytime. That’s when. But I live in California, and ethnic melting pot aside, that kind of thing doesn’t exactly happen everyday. So, even though I sincerely apologize to all of you male readers out there, you’ve got to give [...]

Who said trap is all about guns and grillz? I've always been a fan of the softer, more progressive side of trap, and after hearing Hansel Thorn's Standing on our first edition of Trap Tuesdays I just had to find some more mellow beats. SMOG Records label head and all around bass ambassador 12th Planet (pictured) has teamed up with ATL producer Mayhem to release Whoops , and it doesn't get much prettier than this. Whoops begins with melodic synths and tension-building drums before [...]

Skrillex en México / Foto por Daniel Patlán Para quienes tuvieron la oportunidad de ver a Skrillex en México , recordarán el grandioso espectáculo que junto con 12th Planet , Zedd y Nadastrom , inundó las cuatro fechas de su gira por el país. Sobre este paso por México , el DJ y productor estrena un mini documental que muestra algunas escenas del folclor mexicano y por supuesto, de sus presentaciones.
We are mixing things up a bit this month, moving the top 5 songs of our resident artist up to this week. Why you may ask? It is because Reza is coming to Colorado this weekend to play at a huge Music Ninja party and we are doing a face-to-face interview. So you will have to wait another week for that bad boy. But while you are waiting, grab these five favorite jams of Reza's and turn them out loud because they are not songs to be messed with, enjoy. Whoops - 12th Planet [...]
First of we got a remix of Knife Party 's track "Power Glove" and Drankenstein aka Bird Peterson absolutely killed it. Glad to see Carnage is back to running the trap, this time he teams up with Heroes X Villains for an anthem worthy remix of "Mammoth" by Dimitri Vegas , Like Mike , and Moguai . Next is a preview we featured a few days ago of Major Lazer 's take on Dada Life' s track "Boing Clash Boom". Gent & Jawns have been [...]

Sooooooooo I couldn't help myself and included a heap of new trap tunes this week. They were all so good. I didn't plan for this. I'm not sorry. #1 Au5 & Fractal - Halcyon Thanks to this new track from Au5 and Fractal , I feel like a god damn super hero right now. Halcyon has a real Seven Lions feel to it, driven by airy trance influenced melodies, but still packing some solid [...]
12th Planet and Mayhem have teamed up to bring us two huge new tracks today, “ Murdaaa ” and “ Whoops ” (feat. Pennybirdrabbit). These new trapstep tracks are released just a week and a half before 12th Planet plays at Electric Daisy Carnival in New York. I wouldn’t be surprised to feel the 808s of “ Murdaaa ” pulsing through my dancing feet or at least the catchy, yet melancholy, lyrics of “ Whoops .” Be sure to check these tracks out and buy them via Beatport if you like them. [...]

Yes the American dance music scene has it's highs and lows. We all know what the rest of the world thinks about Good Ol 'Merica. As must as you elitist, Ibiza-praising, tech-house-is-the-only-good-ge nre types think, no one can say a negative word about SMOG, 12th Planet, and the LA Underground crew. Any west coast raver will tell you, these guys started the bass movement in America and pioneered dubstep as we know it today. John Dadzie (12th Planet), Danny Johnson (Media Contender), and Drew Best started the then-promoter in 2007 throwing underground events inspired by the scene of South [...]

Dillon Francis and 12th Planet have taken their relation ship to another level in a recent Swayze-esc clay spinning session. A few weeks ago a photo came about with the two passionately spinning clay, which lead some to believe they might be collaborating. It turns out this intermate moment is all just part of Dillon's hilarious DJ Awareness Campaign. Unlike his Free Taco bout , this one takes a more romantic turn that Swayze himself would have to be proud of. We never know [...]

12th Planet murdered Voyeur Nightclub in San Diego on FAT Tuesday, and dropped this exclusive first play of a brand new UZ and Trinidad James collaboration while doing so. Watch out peeps, this one could take over! UZ has the support of pretty much every major player in the American EDM scene, from Skrillex to Diplo to A-Trak, and a piece of work between one of raps most hyped names could blow everything up.
