![Zedd & Porter Robinson - The Poseidon Tour [Event Preview]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4553720_lg.jpg)
Get ready to feel the earth shake as Zedd and Porter Robinson hit your city like a tidal wave. The two young prodigies are currently on a “Back-To-Back” co-headlining run appropriately titled The Poseidon Tour . Both artists have seen quite the successful year. Porter at just 20 years old has sold 25,000 copies of his Spitfire EP on Skrillex’ s well-respected OWSLA label making him a force to be reckoned with among the dance music world. He has graced the stages of some of the largest festivals this summer including Coachella , Tomorrowland [...]

The Virgin Mobile Freefest is going down this Saturday at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, MD. For those Shufflers out of the loop, or bad with context clues, it's a free music festival that benefits youth homelessness by asking attendees to donate $10. As to be expected, tickets for Freefest 2012 "sold out" within minutes of going on sale. Makes sense, considering that M83, Alabama Shakes, Jack White, Das Racist, Portugal. The Man, Penguin Prison, Alvin Risk, Santigold, Porter Robinson, Zedd, Nas, Skrillex and ZZ Top will all be [...]
Big day today for the young and much lauded electronic producer Zedd. The German maestro seems top of the world, and today not only unleashes an epic music video for new single "Stache" (see below) but also his brand new and debut album, Clarity via Interscope Records. The album we should mention is incredible, with some highlighting features from the likes of Foxes, Ellie Goulding and Bright Lights to name a few. If this isn't enough excitement for you in one day, then B3SCI is adding to the celebration with a giveaway to one lucky [...]
For its inaugural year, Atlanta's Counter.Point Music Festival reeled in around 18,000 festivalgoers, which included not only hometown festivalgoers but outsiders from Chicago, Pittsburgh, Los Angeles, and even Cape Town, South Africa. So, yeah, pretty much a success. Not like it was hard, though. Headed by Skrillex, Pretty Lights, Avicii, Bassnectar, and Steve Angello, and working off an undercard that included ATL's own Big Boi, Big Gigantic, Atmosphere, MiMosa, and Wale, the whole thing had success scribbled all over it. Truth: Electronic festivals are a dime a dozen these days, but fans are schilling out far more than [...]
In less than five days, GLOWfest will make its next stop at West Virginia University for Homecoming and is bringing major talent to Morgantown. Porter Robinson and Zedd will spin back-to-back sets along with Bingo Players, Krewella, Paper Diamond, and local talent. Mr. Robinson and Zedd need no introduction - we predicted a huge year for Porter, and Zedd has unquestionably the inescapable smash single to date in 2012. Before Zedd's complextro wobbles hits the decks, be sure to check out the opening acts. Here's why: [...]
Shortly after the release of his fantastic new original Signal , OVERWERK has gifted us with another round of tasteful tracks. To hold us over until the finish of his next hotly anticipated EP, he's given us a 3-track mashup pack, complete with some excellently arranged tunes that he likes to play out live. They flawlessly combine his signature brand of electro house with the likes of Dirty South, Alesso, Porter Robinson, Arty, and more. With the precise quality we've come to expect from him, it definitely gives you a good taste of what his live show is like. These [...]

Henry Fong first caught our eye earlier this year with a seriously electric take on Miike Snow's Devil's Work and hasn't disappointed ever since - following up with a quality mashup collaboration and a 'bigroombahcore' remix of Calvin Harris that was quickly included into our top summer picks . The Orlando native is now back with another top notch effort to add to the collection - this time in the form of a progressive house rework of Ellie Goulding's latest hit single Anything Could Happen . The final result [...]

Wolfgang Gartner played 2 years ago, and Avicii played last year, this time around they have brought out one of their biggest lineups yet.

We know we're slightly delayed, but episode two of UMF TV takes you behind the scenes of what Ultra is calling the next generation of dance music producers. Hardwell, Porter Robinson, Nicky Romero, and Zedd are all under 25 years of age and have rocked stages all around the world for the past year. Porter recalls his first gig when he had never seen a DJ until the night before. Both he and Zedd, spun with a mouse, Traktor and no controller their first nights. Zedd claims "with electronic dance music, you can touch everyone...if you do it right." It's [...]
Fabio Lendrum 's "Out The Water" has been remixed to perfection by blog favorite Mikkas in collaboration with Dutch up and comer Husman . Available soon exclusively through Beatport by way of the vaunted Big Beat Records , this remix is a must have track, and probably my favorite at the moment. With heavy support from Porter Robinson, this tune has been blowing minds at festivals across the globe, and with a September, 3rd release date set, Out The Water (Mikkas & Husman Remix) will surely be blowing up the Beatport charts. [...]
Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end, however, luckily for all the animals of Electronic Zoo, Sunday’s Main Stage will certainly ensure that the weekend goes out with a bang (of confetti, most likely). The superstar studded lineup features some of the biggest names in electronic music, with each producer specializing in his own weapon. Though the stage will most likely be crowded, any one of the sets has the potential to show you exactly why they save the best for last. In order to prepare for the days leading up to the end, be sure to [...]
Looks like after today your parents may recognize some of your favorite producers, as the New York Times has published a fantastic article spotlighting the young EDM prodigies Zedd , Porter Robinson , Madeon, and Krewella. Luckily this isn’t just another ‘rise of EDM’ piece, as author Ben Sisario not only speaks with the youngsters regarding their overnight successes, but also touches on how this non-traditional movement is shaping the future of the music business. Instead of focusing on how major labels are trying to milk this EDM cash cow, Sisario displays how these artists are [...]
There has been a huge influx of new, young electro/dubstep/progressive house producers recently, which has certainly made it a challenge to set yourself apart from the masses. But Philly's own Dylan Orvell aka Speaker of the House is great example of someone who is successfully doing just that. Having jumped into the production pool just about a year ago, he's crafted himself a distinctive sound equal parts blissful melodies and crunchy bass. His latest track Your Galaxy is a prime example of this, combining splashes of Deadmau5, Wolfgang Gartner, and Porter Robinson with GoldAN's killer [...]
Young upstart DJ/producer Porter Robinson has done what no red blooded man boy has done before... turned down pop singer Katy Perry . Thankfully not to her symmetrically perfect face real life but an opportunity to remix one of her wares to "stay true to his club roots" as the Daily Star tells it. The 20 year old (yep, born in 1992) put it a little more sternly “It’s a surefire way of damaging your credibility and I just don’t think it’s inspiring. I want to make stuff [...]
Thanks to PachaNYC and RPM, Thomas Gold made his mighty return to the Big Apple this weekend with not one, but two huge shows. Saturday night Gold took the reigns at the familiar Pacha decks, which marked his third time at the venue since last August. After having the pleasure of seeing Gold earlier in March at a small venue in Connecticut, the night brought great anticipation to see what fanfare he would bring to the big city. Earlier in the week, Gold promised ‘something special’ for the weekend in an [...]
Electronic dance music of this fibre has never sounded this emotional tonight folks, so it is an upmost pleasure to bring you the very best of what Swedish born DJ / Producer Bjorn Akesson has to offer. After resonating to the world’s elite surface via his early productions through ‘Sunchaser’ & ‘Perfect Blue’ on Fraction Records and A State Of Trance, Bjorn soon caught the attention of Aly & Fila’s record label of the Future Sound Of Egypt (FSOE Recordings) where he was soon signed and eager to showcase some of his most global & emotive, pumping trance [...]
