Electro-House | Cedric Gervais – Molly (Wild Boyz! & Nima G Remix)

Posted by on September 18, 2012

After having the luxury of a press pass and dancing with event staff at Electric Zoo while the speakerz mere inches away pumped my blood. I now look at the level of bass in each song. What do I want to dance to? I want to dance to Wild Boyz. This duo with 20 yearz of combined sound technician history have performed with Stevey A and my main betch, Nero. After developing their sound to the Duran Duran soundtrack “Wild Boyz” the name stuck and this duo have begun to take off across the country. They will have showz in San Fran, New England and New York City. Find some ticketz at their website. They are currently ranked 35 on beatport so they’re like mainstream, but not…at the same time. Perf.

Events, Review | Electric Zoo 2012 Recap

Posted by on September 13, 2012

We showed you Electric Zoo in images and gave you the sounds of each day. We’ve even given you a video recap that will bring all of your favorite moments of the weekend to the forefront of your mind. Now, we will try to capture the spirit of this great festival through words. Because even as Labor Day fades into the distance, the memories of the weekend live on. The three days of Electric Zoo constituted a blurry, messy, and ultimately wonderful check mark on the great bucket list of life, and while it’s a tall order to try to sum up all three days in one post, we’re going to pick out a few moments that stood out for us during the weekend. To put it another way, we’re talking about the small anecdotes that you and your friends will be laughing about for the next six months — the moments that reflect the atmosphere of the festival as a whole.

Preview, Progressive House | The Killers – Runaways (Pierce Fulton Remix) [Preview]

Posted by on September 10, 2012

Piece Fulton follows his official remix for Usher’s single “Scream” and his outstanding performance to start Electric Zoo with an official remix of the lead single “Runaways” off of The Killer’s upcoming album “Battle Born”. This remix lends itself to the more melodic side of Pierce’s sound, creating a well oiled melody to match the vocals from “The Killers”. This is not going to be one of Pierce Fulton’s hard hitting club offerings, but rather more of a soothing addition to his discography. If you are an AMEX member, you can get this now for free at the link below.

Electro-House | Firebeatz & Schella – Dear New York

Posted by on September 10, 2012

Firebeatz and Schella team up to bring us what was possibly the anthem of Electric Zoo this past Labor Day “Dear New York” as their ode to the Big Apple. Firebeatz have had a very busy 2012 cranking out remixes and originals and with this heavily supported track, they cap off the summer season with a bang. Sampling the Beastie Boys, a task not to be done lightly, Firebeatz & Schella bring out a varying bass line sure to get you moving with a matching chord progression that crescendoes into a drop of grinding saws, not unlike “Metropolis” that furnishes an edge and energy to give the track traction well into the fall.

Events, Review, Trance | Ferry Corsten Brings Full On To The US

Posted by on September 8, 2012

The inaugural Full On on this side of the Atlantic capped the first night of the 4th edition of Electric Zoo with a resounding bang. Full On was first started in 2007 back in Ferry Corsten’s home country of the Netherlands and has turned into one of the biggest trance events in the world. The night was full of back-to-back sets and great individual performances.

Roseland Ballroom set the perfect scene for the night, as tired festival goers began streaming in between 11:30 and midnight to catch the tail-end of rising American trance asset Audien, who has been tagged by super trio Above & Beyond as a name to watch. Full On started at 11pm with Audien, which was definitely a small thing I would have changed since Electric Zoo did not end until 11 pm and the inevitable backup of getting tens of thousands of people off of an island caused many people to be very late for Audien’s set. Next year I would advise Made Event to start the afterparties at 11:30, with doors at 11, to give people at Electric Zoo enough time to get down to the afterparty they paid a decent amount of money for.

Once Audien was done getting the crowd going, British DJ/trance-turned-progressive-house producer Michael Woods hit the decks. His style was not totally out of place in the night, though it was different from the overall tenor of the trance theme. His high energy progressive tracks excited the crowd, and he launched salvo after salvo of hard hitting songs from his expansive discography that has seen many stellar additions recently. Michael Woods was joined by Polina who sang the track “Goodbye,” which became a theme of the evening — live vocalists. He was then joined by Ferry Corsten, the man of the evening, for some intriguing back-to-back that combined some of the more progressive tracks in Ferry’s arsenal. With this as a starting point, there was a clear progression in Ferry Corsten’s sound during the night. Continue on to see how the rest of the night went.
