EDC Arrest Report: Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas has come and gone — and the arrest numbers for the weekend are in. When you take into account the 150,000 people attending the music festival each night, the amount of arrests pales in comparison to the good times had over the weekend. Still, a total of 12 misdemeanor arrests and a total of 51 “felony or gross misdemeanor” arrests occurred. It’s notable to point out, EDC weekend only saw two DUI arrests in 2019. With the addition of Camp EDC and with the number of shuttle services from the city to...
DeVante B., the artist formerly known as G-Bread, has mastered his craft quietly in the West Michigan scene — but it’s about time his message is heard. The producer’s Messiah EP is the word. Blending elements of grime, house, r&b, hip hop and soul, DeVante B. shapes a journey that can only be experienced through this five-track snapshot. Day in day out, the producer pours his heart and soul into his music, for a result that simply cannot be replicated. He explains of the new release, “My 2019 EP ‘Messiah’ is a collection of tracks based around different emotional experiences...
Ghastly Is Losing His Hearing We love really loud music. We really, really love bass. But when you crank up those speakers at home or attend a show, it’s important to use protection. If you appreciate music, then appreciate your ears. Earplugs provide much needed protection against decibels worth of potential damage. Ghastly is the first to admit how serious the problem is and he’s urging fans to take action. Hey u guys so my right ear is going out and I’m on my way to becoming half deaf – I’d like to reinstate the importance of hearing protection,...
When NGHTMRE, Slander, Seven Lions and The Glitch Mob all changed their profile photos to the same image this week, we knew they were up to something. Now we know exactly what that something is. Some fans immediately jumped to the possibility of a megacollab (we’re still hoping). However, this new image proves otherwise as these powerhouse artists present The Alchemy Tour. With a nod to earth, wind, fire and water, these expert producers will undoubtedly put on quite the show. Get ready for a night of bass and melodic atmospheres, coming to a city near you. This particular...
Dallas Cowboys superstar running back Ezekiel Elliott was put in handcuffs at EDC Las Vegas over the weekend. The NFL player pushed a security guard into a metal gate and to the ground — and the entire ordeal is captured on camera. The incident apparently started when Elliott was spotted in the parking lot at the music festival arguing with his girlfriend. He didn’t become violent, but at times was using his body to block her from walking away. In the video below, Zeke addresses one of the event staff (who appears to be minding his own business) — “You got...
One of the best parts about EDC Las Vegas is all the unreleased IDs attendees get to experience for the first time ever. This new track from Illenium and Ekali is undoubtedly one of those tracks that will instill chills every time it plays out. Soft lyrics are met with an ethereal production, a beautiful release of each producer’s robust style. Ekali brought out Illenium, who was also playing the festival, near the end of his set to assist with the unreleased magic. One spectator says they announced the collab as, “Hard to Say Goodbye.” Really, this collaboration needs...
Virgil Abloh is never one to do things by the status quo. The founder of Off-White™ and newly appointed Men’s Artistic Director of Louis Vuitton is also a DJ, and so frequently uses the Pioneer CDJ-2000NXS2 and DJM-900NXS2 combination. It seems as if the standard design of the hardware wasn’t quite enough for Abloh as he took it into his own hands for a new museum exhibit debuting soon. From June 10 to September 22, 2019, Abloh will exhibit the NXS2 “skeleton” models at his first museum exhibition entitled “FIGURES OF SPEECH.” The “TRANSPARENT” CDJ-2000NXS2 and “TRANSPARENT” DJM-900NXS2 will be...
On May 17th, 2015, a rising Polish producer going by the name Xilent shook the EDM world with the release of his debut album We Are Virtual. Four years later (almost exactly to the date), that same producer is about to shake it once again. Earlier this year, Xilent made a bold jump from SKisM’s Never Say Die Records –which had been his home for the last few years– to Monstercat. While the move was unexpected, it wasn’t completely shocking (I mean, we got this a couple years before). However, I don’t think anybody expected another full-length album to follow suit....
EDC WEATHER REPORT Fans heading to EDC 2019’s final night at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway be warned of the EDC weather, a high wind advisory is in effect. High winds also closed multiple stages and cancelled sets from Kaskade, RL Grime and Claude Von Stroke b2b Green Velvet yesterday. Here’s to hoping that doesn’t happen tonight. RL Grime has thankfully been rescheduled to play at the Basspod stage tonight. OK EDC LETS TRY THIS AGAIN BASSPOD 2:37AM-3:37AM — RL GRIME (@RLGRIME) May 20, 2019 And while weather at EDC promises to hit the low 50s, in addition to the high wind advisory in effect,...
The Glitch Mob threw down an epic performance at EDC Las Vegas this weekend — and the bassPOD stage was absolutely destroyed in the process. Not only did they deliver much of their fan favorite music, the group came prepared with some unreleased secret weapons. 1788-L joined the legends on stage to play out their forthcoming collab together. As bass heavy as you can imagine, the new track is a hybrid between The Glitch Mob’s signature style, with the force of 1788-L behind it. The result sounds like a natural progression with the group’s sound that’s truly meant to...
