Coachella 2012 - Porter Robinson

For sure you were expecting an amazing gif of Porter Robinson, or just a pic of him playing at Coachella, or maybe just buying at a gas station like the rest of mortal humans. But this is our first post about the best festival on earth since October 1999, and we are to do this right, starting with a epic photo of the the treadmill between the palm trees at sunset. 
For the beginning let's comment a anecdote about the biggesst rapper on history during Coachella. This is an electronic music blog (the coolest) but this fact deserves a few lines after all (just a few and if you don't really care about it just continue reading after the 'penis').

Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg seized upon the technology to resurrect the legendary rapper Tupac Shakur through a hologram during the closing of the 13th edition of the Coachella Festival.

Thanks to a holographic projection, a technology used by singer Mariah Carey last year to achieve a simultaneous concert in five different places in Europe, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg on Sunday revived a few minutes Shakur was murdered in Las Vegas for 16 years , to play "Hail Mary" and "Two Of American's Most Wanted" with the musician.

The appearance of Shakur, considered the most important rapper in history, caused such a stir among the audience and viewers who enjoyed the show on YouTube, which a few minutes and circulated in the social network Twitter account @ HologramTupac.

PENIS! And returning to more details, to make you jealous for not being in the superextrasweetest place for your senses, by the hand of Mr. Porter: mixing Flux Pavillion, Zedd, Deadmau5, Knife Party, Plump DJs, Kaskade and a lot of Porter Robinson, here you have his LIVE:


And to end some interesting fun facts about previous Coachella Festivals...
-Phish Inspired the 2010 Coachella: 
The Hot Dog went to Phish’s Halloween spectacle at the very same Empire Polo Grounds that the Coachella Music Fest is held. And when he started to read details about the approaching Coachella Festival he was quick to point out how many of the rule changes were taken from policies implemented at the Phish Festival. So you can thank Phish for the following:
No single day tickets. Allowing people to leave the fest and return. Shuttles to nearby accommodations.

-The Cure Gets the Plug Pulled, 2009:
The Cure closed out Sunday Night and the festival as a whole. However, the city of Indio is a bunch of haters and has a midnight curfew for loud, memory making, music. After playing for 33 minutes past the deadline Goldenvoice pulled the plug. Right in the middle of “Grinding Halt” (probably would have gotten away with another spin of “Just Like Heaven”).
This proves two things. First, the local late night eateries aren’t bribing the Indio cops enough for their record-breaking post-Coachella earnings. Second, Goldenvoice hates the song “Grinding Halt”.
The day before Sir Paul McCartney went almost an hour over before willfully submitting to old age and calling it a night.

 -Roger Waters Loses Two-Story Pig, 2008:
During the “almost Pink Floyd” set of 2009, Roger Waters had a giant inflatable pig float above the crowd with the usual rock-star-save-the-world graffiti tagged to its sides. Through some technical malfunctions and the pig staging his own protest at being used for propaganda, the pig got loose and was up, up, and away!
Two days later the pig landed in a neighborhood a couple miles from the Polo Fields and was called in by some local residents. The residents were then rewarded with ten grand (chill out, they donated it) and lifetime passes to the festival!

Coachella - The Chemical Brothers Live

This is our first post dedicated exclusively to The Chemical Brothers. We know that after so long, and have not done ​​a post only focus in them, is a reasonable reason to wish our death. But keep calm and we will try to fix it RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW

Once upon a time...the duo (Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons) decided to supplement their DJ careers by turning their bedrooms into recording studios, they pioneered a style of music (later termed big beat) remarkable for its lack of energy loss from the dancefloor to the radio. Chemical Brothers albums were less collections of songs and more hourlong journeys, chock full of deep bomb-studded beats, percussive breakdowns, and effects borrowed from a host of sources. All in all, the duo proved one of the few exceptions to the rule that intelligent dance music could never be bombastic or truly satisfying to the seasoned rock fan; it’s hardly surprising that they were one of the few dance acts to enjoy simultaneous success in the British/American mainstream and in critical quarters.
While growing up, both Rowlands and Simons grooved to an eccentric musical diet, ranging from the Smiths and Jesus and Mary Chain to Kraftwerk and Public Enemy.  Original Balearic DJs like Trevor Fung, Paul Oakenfold, and Mike Pickering brought the sound back to indie clubs in London and Manchester, and the style proved very attractive to musical eclectics like Rowlands and Simons.
Though Rowlands was already performing in the alternative dance group Ariel, the pair began DJing together at the Manchester club Naked Under Leather in 1991. Hardly believing that their weekend project would progress, they took the semiserious handle Dust Brothers (a tribute to the American production team responsible for one of their favorite albums, the Beastie Boys’ Paul’s Boutique). Despite their doubts, Rowlands and Simons’ club night did grow more popular, thanks to the duo’s Balearic mix of rare house tracks flavored with hip-hop breakdowns, independent-dance fusions, and ancient secondhand discards. After deciding to try and re-create their unique sound in their tiny bedroom studio, the Dust Brothers emerged with “Song to the Siren,” an intriguing example of the new alternative dance scene including sample victims Meat Beat Manifesto and This Mortal Coil.

After the single was pressed up on a limited release of 500 copies, it began getting attention from Britain’s top DJs, initially including an old friend named Justin Robertson but later including Andrew Weatherall and Darren Emerson. Weatherall licensed the single to Junior Boy’s Own Records, and after the pair had finished university, they moved back to London to work on another EP (14th Century Sky) and a residency at another club. After their third release, “My Mercury Mouth,” the duo began to get more high-profile clients for remixing: besides Justin Roberston’s Lionrock collective, Primal Scream, the Prodigy, and the Charlatans all received treatments.
When lawyers for the original Dust Brothers came calling in 1995, though, Rowlands and Simons were forced to change to change their name to the Chemical Brothers (the proposed Dust Brothers U.K. was turned down). Word on the street and nightclub scene was so good that it hardly mattered; their new residency at the Heavenly Sunday Social quickly became one of the hottest clubnights in England — documented on the mix disc Live at the Social, Vol. 1 — and their debut album, Exit Planet Dust, was heavily praised by critics. Another fan of the record, Oasis frontman Noel Gallagher, agreed to lend his vocals to a future single named “Setting Sun,” the Chemicals’ tribute to one of their own favorites, the Beatles’ “Tomorrow Never Knows.” The single went to number one in late 1996, and the Chemical Brothers opened up for the giant Oasis concert at Knebworth besides headlining their own shows all over the world.
The Chemical Brothers’ second album, Dig Your Own Hole, took charge of the top spot on the album charts upon its release in April 1997, and on the wings of America’s growing electronica push, the album sailed to number 14 stateside and went gold. The duo released a mix album in 1998, Brothers Gonna Work It Out, and followed with their third studio LP, Surrender, in 1999. Rather lackluster expectations sparked a return to the underground with the white-label-only single “It Began in Afrika,” and the duo’s fourth album, Come with Us. It too failed to earn the high notices of the first two albums, although after another three-year gap Rowlands and Simons returned with another, 2005’s Push the Button, with guest vocalists Q-Tip, Tim Burgess, Kele Okereke, and the Magic Numbers. The music-celebrity parade continued on 2007’s We Are the Night, this time including the Klaxons, Willy Mason, Fatlip, and Midlake. Then came Further. Their last big announcement was DON'T THINK (their movie), and their last huge gig was this one...

DJ Falcon mix for Vulture Music

 To celebrate the very last evening at the Social Club, Vulture Music present a superb mixtape by Stephane Queme also known as DJ Falcon.

He is the man behind hits like «So much love to give» and «Together» co-produced with Thomas Bangalter (Daft Punk) and signed on the French record label Roulé. In 1999, we also discovered his EP «Hello my name is DJ Falcon» on Roulé. He is part of the "french touch" generation and comes from an artistic family. With a cousin like Alan Braxe (Stardust, Vulture) and Delphine Queme (Bureau Records) it is only normal that this young photographer put his creativity into music as well.

Falcon has been contributing remixes for many artists such as PHOENIX and CASSIUS (LA MOUCHE) and has since 10 years been touring around the world playing alongside CHEMICAL BROTHERS "South American tour", DAFT PUNK "Alive Tour", and with his friends from ED BANGER and KITSUNÉ. His DJsets are inspired by a touch of electro, old school, house classics, indie dance and new rave.

Always travelling around the world with a camera, surfboard and record bag there aren't many places Falcon hasn't visited already. As a DJ he has played all across the world at almost every prestigious club you can imagine from PACHA & PRIVILEGE IBIZA, FABRIC LONDON, REX PARIS, COCOON FRANKFURT, WOMB TOKYO, MIAMI WMC and he has several times been touring Australia and US.

Falcon will be back tomorrow in Paris Social Club with Alan Braxe, The Magician, & Xander Milne.

Creamfields Andalucía (Spain) 2011 revision

Creamfields 2011 Andalucía (Spain) nothing more to say… ok well, only that the line up is GRRREAT! And we are going to talk about some of the artist thats going to participate. Here we go!

The Prodigy 

This band of dancefloor smashers is the first group that was confirmed for Creamfields and lead the large line up of the festival.

Several styles have developed over time, initially as rave music pioneers subversive, and now as songwriter’s punk techno elements in their voices.

The Prodigy is a band that must be seen live at least once in life, and the spectacle held in the warm Andalusia is something worth to remembering.

Prodigy - Invaders Must Die by Glebaneiro

Armin van Buuren, currently considered the best DJ in the world by DJ Magazine. This genius producer of trance music will make us crazy with her performance of music and lights.

                         


Paul van Dyk   

If Armin were not enough, the creamfields wanted to make sure that will appear in the top festivals of 2011.

And has obtained the assistance of Matthias Paul (Paul van Dyk ), DJ and producer of trance music.

                               

Paul Kalkbrenner is one of the big surprises of the festival. This german producer of Techno music, Minimal Techno, House and IDM, will transmit us the bests energies as always do with his music.

                               

I can already imagine this playing live with the sea breeze blowing and the whole festival enjoying it.

2manydjs

This band with his mixes so fast that they can drive you crazy, and his exquisite taste, makes his live shows -filled with his remixes of songs known by all- spectacular. Besides, after the radiosoulwax project (that we talked about a few posts ago)  everyone knows what this band is capable.

Adding to all this, the experience in this festival in which have participated in other years we can ensure will be of great names that continue to ring even when the creamfields have finished.

Late Of The Pier - Best In The Class (Soulwax Remix) by soulwax

Eric prydz 
                       

As you can see Eric prydz is ready to make some noise (good noise, of course) this summer and make this summer a nonstop party.


Felix da housecat considered one of the biggest DJ in the second wave of Chicago house. Will offer during the creamfields a repertoire of the best avant-garde electronic music and perfectly linked as always when acts live. It's a good music show insured.

                         

Tiga is a great DJ and producer from Canada, who has known to move quite well in the music world.

Beginning only with shares in the early 90's, was later a founder of the afterhours club SONA. Then in 1994 he opened a record store called DNA Recors with what got enough fame and money to start his own label, Turbo Recordings in 1998.

Today is dedicated to delight with his electronic music in all the festivals which participates.

                             

Simian movile disco is a duo of music club, disco or electro house that been signed up to creamfields too. And we love that these British DJs be part of what will be a legendary festival.

                              

The Bloody Beetroots (Death Crew 77) 

Our killers friends Cornelius and DJ Tommy Tea accompanied by Battle, on drums. Will once again be a party in a true huge Italian style that now we like.

CHEMICAL BROTHERS - Dissolve (The Bloody Beetroots remix) by thebloodybeetroots

Feed me 


                    

That London producer and DJ bring us an excellent electro house and dubstep that’s I’m sure that could kill us at live.

These artist, and many mooore!!
