Preview, Progressive House | Henrix & Adrien Mezsi – Raverz (Preview)

Posted by on August 29, 2013

Henrix has been busy touring this summer, so that has meant he’s been quiet on the release front, (if he wasn’t, well, then BT would have the answer for you). However, he has managed to find the time to come together with fellow Miami producer Adrien Mezsi, a guy who I have kept an eye for a while now, waiting for that spark to happen, and oh man did it happen. “Raverz” has been a part of Steve Angello’s sets since Tomorrowland, and you can expect that to continue well into the future. His people want it to be a mystery, but nobody’s being fooled here. Just like “Hit It”, this one is coming out on Size Records. When? Nobody knows, but for now watch the preview from Creamfields.

For all of our Electric Zoo attendees tomorrow in under 14 hours (ahhhhhh), Henrix will be playing MainStage west to start Saturday bright and early at 11:10am. So shake off the cobwebs and get there early to hear this unreleased jam, amongst other massive tunes dropped by Mr. Henriques.

Events | The Worst Lineup Conflicts At Electric Zoo – And How To Handle Them

Posted by on August 22, 2013

Waiting for festival schedules to drop is always a funny thing. On the one hand, you’re antsy for set times because you want to start planning your weekend. On the other, you know that when the announcement comes it will invariably serve to confirm all your worst fears about lineup conflicts — terrible, unspeakable conflicts which will surely force you to choose between two or more of your favorite artists. Such conflicts have been known to divide friend groups, start arguments, and lead to tears. Okay, we’re being dramatic, but you know you totally feel us. Electric Zoo is no different, so check out what we think are some of the most glaring and painful conflicts of the weekend — and our advice for dealing with them — after the jump.

(Note: one thing we do know is that those who enter Sunday School Grove probably won’t be racing out to hit the mainstage at many junctures during the weekend, so there aren’t too many conflicts to contend with there. Not bad, eh?)

Electric Zoo Map

Electric Zoo is just 10 days away and unlike many festivals this summer, Made Event has been kind enough to release the set times well in advance, so you can start planning your optimal festival experience. Each day starts bright and early at 11am with some acts you don’t want to miss like Audien, Henrix and Khoma, so be ready with plenty of coffee in the morning to get you there, especially if you head out to an afterparty the night before. They have also provided a full logistical layout of the grounds and updated the app, so you can plan your way through the three days and have the lineup on the go. Check the lineup here, and if you still don’t have tickets get them here.

Trance | Audien – Iris

Posted by on July 3, 2013

audien irisIt has been a big week for Audien. First he released his followup to “Wayfarer”, that saw support from artists all across the dance music spectrum like Above & Beyond, Cosmic Gate, Armin van Buuren, Knife Party & Madeon, and now today added to the already star-studded Electric Zoo lineup. “Iris” carries that Audien sound with sweeping synth chords, atmospheric pads, delicate key play and a subtle, grinding low-end. Expect to hear this often on trance stages and throughout festivals during the summer as it creeps into artists sets and up the charts.

Events | Electric Zoo Phase 2 Lineup Headliners

Posted by on May 7, 2013

Electric Zoo 2012

We are starting to get a full picture of how Electric Zoo will look this year after the announcement that it would have two mainstages. Electric Zoo is slowly releasing the names for those who will be coming to Randall’s Island on Labor Day weekend, following the first wave of artists who will take over the mainstages. Phase 2 fills in some of the gaps for the rest of the tents that give the festival its character and diversity, from the Sunday School tent to the Riverside Arena. As suspected, the festival has expanded from 4 stages to 5, so there will be more artists, more choice and inevitably more painstaking, heart-wrenching conflicts over artist time slots (Laidback Luke vs. Steve Aoki is not one… I hope I don’t have to tell you why).

Repeat from last year the Riverside Arena will see Dim Mak take over on Sunday, while Friday will see the joint takeover of Riverside by OWSLA and Boyz Noise Records and A-Trak’s Fools Gold Records on Saturday. The Sunday School Grooooove tent will have new proprietors with Adam Beyers’s Drum Code coming to town on Sunday to bring some techno in your face. There does not appear to be a trance stage, which is a bit disappointing, though Armin, Ferry Corsten, Above & Beyond and Markus Schulz are all on the lineup separately. Nobody as of yet has made their claim to any of the Hilltop days, but the lineup’s seem eclectic enough that they would lack a clear label owner. There are more artists to be announced, so do despair if you feel it is lacking in trance or house or dubstep, just wait, especially for the label tents. There is also the option to buy a Friday combo pack, where you buy a ticket for Friday + either Saturday or Sunday, so decide your festival experience. Tickets are on sale now, so grab them below. Check the full lineup after the jump.
