News | FestiCrates.com Starts First Ever Subscription Box For Dance Music
Posted by VMan on February 4, 2016
Festicrates.com is a dance music subscription box that is curated to the interests of multiple fan groups within the scene. Essentially, you input your gender and select a box suited to your interest, and FestiCrates will send you a variety box of items to your door monthly, curated to you.
The boxes can be purchased month-to-month, or more long term. The longer you invest the larger discount you get.
At the same time, Festicrates has opened up a store where a large amount of accessories and clothing can be per-ordered.
Looks like orders on both fronts won’t be shipping until April, but the premise looks promising. Learn more about FestiCrates from their socials and video above.
News | G4G Initiative Is Emazing Lights’ Best Move Yet
Posted by VMan on December 20, 2015
There are few times where a story goes beyond the music / product / festival, and it is those times I am happy to share most about.
Emazing Lights, known around the word for their foundation of the gloving movement, their Shark Tank appearance, and sister clothing company iHeartRaves, has got the internet buzzing about one fan’s life that’s been changed forever from gloving. His name is Matthew.
Matthew deals with cerebral palsy and a paraplegic disability. He is only 17. Like any American with a disability at school, students and life in general isn’t always kind to people in Matthew position; but it was one action from a single individual that changed his life.
After seeing Matthew casually practicing arm and finger whips and dance motions, his brother suggested that he get into gloving.
One glove set and a handful of practice sessions later, Matthew was deep into a new hobby that not only brought a new form joy and happiness into his life, but also improved cognitive abilities once hindered by his disorders.
Shocked, Matthew’s parents contacted Emazing Lights to tell them how there son’s finger dexterity and arm mobility improved. This connection between EL and Matthews family inspired a series of actions which will now have an impact that reaches far beyond the two groups.
After meeting the CEO and learning about the new, but unanticipated medical benefits of Gloving, Emazing Lights has started a charity initiative entitled “Glove 4 Glove” which boast a massive, but noble undertaking: for every glove set sold, Emazing Lights will donate one glove set to someone in need.
If that’s not an inspiring story, I don’t know what is. Emazing Lights has set a standard that other EDM accessory companies should strive for.
The Glove 4 Glove initiative is well underway. To learn about G4G or how Matthew’s life has changed, follow the links below.
House | Swage Remixes Getter’s “Genocide”
Posted by VMan on December 3, 2015
Swage is back and better than ever, following up his latest release “You Know” with Freefall the Svb Rosa member has taken his aim at Getters Genocide. While the original maintains a slow electronic vibe Swage has managed to completely flip it upside into a massive Bass House tune that maintains heavy electro influnces. With the likes of Getter, Ghastly, Jvst Say Yes, Kayliox, and Dr. Fresch already supporting this tune we think it’s safe to say that this remix is going to be huge.

New York native, Aiden Jude wasted no time following up his last single with what we’d like to call his best work to date. “All In” brings back the best elements of progressive house music with a lead that takes you on an refreshing uplifting melodic journey. Celia Babibi reminds us of early Kaskade days featuring the amazing Hayley. Needless to say if Aiden keep these types of productions coming our way, he’ll have a bright future ahead.

The track amassed a whopping 40,000 plays in just under two hours before Sony yanked the remix down. They’ve been opening almost every show with it for the last few weeks, including at EDC Orlando, LIV, XS, and Beta. Slander has included a message to their fans as well as a link to download the track.

Posted by BIGLIFE on October 31, 2015
Touring Australia and North America this October/November, RUFUS makes his FreshNewTracks.com debut with an incredible tune titled “Like An Animal” that was featured in Oliver Heldens’s “Heldeep Radio” episode. I tried to find the track on 1001Tracklists.com (if you’re not familiar it’s an incredible tool) and nobody had the official Soundcloud link. Luckily, I found the link this afternoon and the track already had a bajillion plays. Make sure you support this artist by picking up the single via iTunes below. What an awesome tune.
