Events | What You Can Expect When Attending EDMBiz 2015
Posted by Juicebox on May 26, 2015
Within the last five years, dance music has experienced an incredible growth in popularity. Raves have evolved from illegal parties held at grungy warehouses, to massive spectacles featuring performers, fireworks, awe-inspiring stages, and hundreds of performing artists, while electronic artists have become superstars and celebrities, rather than backroom producers. Although electronic music has a lengthy past, the genre has never been in the limelight, and has never crossed over into the mainstream – until now. With electronic music sitting firmly in the spotlight, and plenty of media attention on the negative aspects of dance music, it’s become more and more important to open up a dialogue about how electronic music can positively impact society, and Insomniac is championing this movement with the EDMbiz Conference & Expo.

Love when producers do stuff like this, especially the big guys like Alesso. He gives his fans a surprise with a twist on his own hit, “Cool”. Really diggin this version, nice and slow to just kick back and listen to. Pretty crazy that this song can maintain its composure being transitioned from a main stage favorite to a song you’d listen to on a Sunday chillen on the porch. Alesso shows that he can do it all with this rendition. Check it out.

House | The Magician Brings The Heat With His “All Cried Out” Remix

Blonde. So hot right now. Blonde. When “All Cried Out” dropped we lost our face. Just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, The Magician (who’s one of our favorite rising artists) tries his hand at this monster single. With a deep drop and incredible use of the vocals, The Magician continues to stand out in a sea of similarity.
