The pandemonium and mass confusion that accompanies the opening of a music festival, let alone one such as Sasquatch Music Festival where you park in a semi-organized fashion in random fields next to tents and cows, is akin to very few other experiences in a lifetime. The herding, the terror in the eyes of lost souls, the cattle brands... Well, there might as well be cattle brands because, let's face it, as much as we all enjoy a multitude of bands playing incredible music in one of the world's most stunning outdoor venues, organizing ourselves on a mass scale just [...]
On May 25th the 11th year of Sasquatch! Music festival kicked off. As with last year the first day of the festival started a bit later in the day but unlike last year the acts that played today were... Read the rest on Speakerboxxx.com
For a lot of us, summer has begun. Classes are over and it's time to let loose. A solid playlist of upbeat and positive music is what i have for you this week. It has been a little while since the last hypem post so this one has a few extra songs. Enjoy! Spectrum feat. Matthew Koma (Extended Mix) - Zedd You Get High LIL KIDS - SLOW RAINBOW - Crystal Decanters Dreams Money Can Buy [...]
One of the most exciting sounds I've been immersing myself in lately is wonky hip-hop, which (thanks to the ever-changing and often subjective nature of genre definitions) you could probably also refer to as glitch-hop or future beats without a blogger sloshing the kerosene of his opinion all over you and engulfing the situation in flames using his matchstick of keyboard warrior rage. The instrumental hip-hop scene has been developing for many years and has split off into many fragments (many of which are represented here), but it's gathering some serious momentum right now, which means more delicious vitamins that [...]
Consequence of Sound' s Summer Tour Guide will lead you to the darkest, dankest (not every venue has a ventilation system, folks) concerts where you can dance the night away after spending too many hours in the sun. From Dirty Projectors to Phish to the Diplo/Grimes/Skrillex extravaganza that is the Full Flex Express, we've listed the best and brightest artists that are touring new or as-of-yet unreleased albums , touring around festival appearances, or just touring because it's damn fun. -Harley Brown Associate Editor Feature artwork [...]
If you're lucky enough to be a part of the sold out 2012 Sasquatch! music festival, there are a couple of things you need to know and understand. Firstly, analyze and decide on the schedule.

You'll be able to find out schedules from the guides at the various booths, but plan ahead and get to the front of the stage by quickly checking below. You can catch performances which are happening simultaneously, but make [...]
Today, a surprising turn of events took place within the music blog circuit and the EDM community. Renowned Swedish house producer Avicii's follow-up single to last year's ubiquitous anthem "Levels" was named 'Best New Track' by the governing force in indie music, Pitchfork. With the exception of their recent Skrillex interview , this is the first time Pitchfork has favourably acknowledged "mainstream" electronica.While they were early supporters of electronic artists such as James Blake , SBTRKT , Grimes , and Rustie , up until now, Pitchfork has been quite ignorant towards the more accessible [...]

Sunset Music Festival, hosted by Disco Donnie Presents & Sunset Events, is returning for another year of great music and we couldn't be more excited for the incredible lineup [...]
Pretty Lights launched an exclusive partnership with Grooveshark last week with the release of his new single " You Get High ." Concurrent with Smith's philosophy of an open music ecosystem, Grooveshark will be exclusively streaming the track through May 22 along with a beautiful Pretty Lights theme. If this sounds familiar, that's because Datsik recently released his new album, Vitamin D , through Grooveshark as well complete with a skin. With the recent ascent of Spotify into the US, Grooveshark has taken a backseat in the audio streaming sector, but we applaud these kinds of EDM collaborations. [...]

This new video from Paper Diamond 's "Turn the Light Off" from his new Wavesight EP is the first offering from his new union with Diplo's Mad Decent label. Wavesight was released on May 3 on Mad Decent / Jeffrees and showcases Paper Diamond's talent for combining bass music with a splash of pop. The video is visually and aurally vibrant and uplifting, with a warmth and soul that still maintains that classic Paper Diamond cool. "Turn the Lights Off" features a collaboration with New Orleans based singer songwriter Nasimiyu. Her original music is a mixture of [...]
