SnowGlobe • Lineup • Tickets • Set Times

Fasten your seat belts friends. Prepare for departure. Aeroplane is ready to blast off into discoville with a fuel tank filled to the brim with funk and groove. Didn’t know you could operate machinery with solely funk and groove?! It’s never too late to learn something new.

On the real though, this guy has been one of the most consistent disco house producers in the scene. Once a duo, but now the reigns have been taken by Vito and he’s holding his own quite well. The other guy split off and formed The Magician…you may have heard of him. Vito’s remixes and mixes are something we always can count on to be extremely special. Now we get to see him in the snow on the beautiful lands of Tahoe!

Vito is headlining THE IGLOO stage on Monday night, but he’s also playing an afterparty on a boat with Snakehips that same night!!! Everything I love. Get tickets to that here.

As is customary for year’s end, we must reflect back on our experiences. The way everything came together for us this year in regards to music – album releases, shows, festival appearances, CAD4.0! – definitely makes it one of the best years we’ve had. We’ve put together a top 20 list to recognize our very much opinionated favourite releases of 2014. These twenty albums influenced us in some way or other throughout the year by making us dance, think (or not think), and enjoy life; and they deserve a shout out for that. Onward to bigger and better in 2015!

Lane 8 • TICKETS

Holiday party! This season’s finale has us swooning to the smooth and soothing sounds of Anjunadeep’s Lane 8. We’re so proud to see how he’s grown since he opened for SHOOK at our first show ever. His deep and heartfelt style took the world by storm those many moons ago. Lane 8’s classics like ‘Every Night’ are still regular plays. Wear some festive gear and come flow with us.

There’s no denying the growing influence of ‘kawaii’ in the electronic scene. The musical translation of this Japanese term is video-gamey and emotionally driven by a sense of nostalgia. The style has gained widespread traction thanks to Porter Robinson’s Worlds.

NΣΣT is an artist who adds his own special touch to ‘kawaii’. His most recent release, A Kinda NΣΣT Christmas, captures the holiday spirit in style. It is a lighthearted and funky expression of cold weather, foggy nights, cuddling, and hot chocolate. Catch us chilling out by a warm fire with NΣΣT on repeat.

A Kinda NΣΣT Christmas

NΣΣT – Infinity

This installment of Latest and Greatest is devoted to our friends down by the Ecuator. The talent circulating down south has been consistently impressive. For the past year or so, they’ve experienced an influx of dark tech and if you haven’t already noticed: that’s my favourite electronic style.

Pompeya – Does [The Twelves Remix]

Though not quite dark and techy, a post about Brasil’s electronic scene without a mention of The Twelves is sacrilege. These two have oft been compared to Daft Punk – and for good reason. Here’s their newest funker.

Pompeya – Does (The Twelves Remix)

Malik Mustache – G My Humps

How can you not enjoy a basic club shot taken to new levels? Malik Mustache adds house and tech style to this 2005 hit and takes G-house into the future. G-Future.

Malik Mustache – G My Humps

Ishimaru – Fu-King EP

The newest EP from Ishimaru features his single Fu-King and remixes by Krash and Sound Cloup. It is dark, hard, and angry techno for the electro G inside us all.

Fractal System – Need You Tonight

Fractal System takes INXS’ 80’s dance-pop classic and adds that Brasil sound. This track is dark, funky, and bassy; and with that famed guitar riff, we definitely need it.
Fractal System – Need You Tonight

There’s been heaps of remixes from all-star producers coming out for ZHU this year. ODESZA, Lido, The Magician, and AMTRAC to name a few (you can hear them all here). Well, French Kiwi Juice decided to take his hand at debatably ZHU’s most underrated track “Paradise Awaits.” He added his signature brand of funky instrumentals in half time which put a special groove to this amazing original. I’ve been all over FKJ more than ever lately, so it’s nice to see him getting more acclaim.

When you have a moment to see where electronic music is headed, watch this beautifully done video of him jamming in his bedroom studio. Yeah, he has awesome dreads.

Chill. Funk. Disco.

Mr.Vtage comes to us by way of time machine. “Lost in the 80’s,” as he so puts it, is the perfect way to describe Funk Noir. Here’s to palm trees, neon shimmer, and disco dancing. All for free.
