Happy Sunday party people. With the 104th installment of the weekly YOLO list, I bring good news. Orange County is finally shaping up with big events, but few compare with Insomniac’s fresh event series installment at Ten Nightclub. Now I know that this club has had roughly 30 name changes in the last year, but I’m pretty sure Ten is here to stay. With major renovations including a 360 LED wall and big name artists finding their way to this intimate venue, shit is about to get real. Real quick too. Tonight they bring C+A+D favorite and their heaviest hitter yet: ZEDS DEAD. (Supported by our homies Slander). Online presale is sold out, but tickets will still be sold at the door so get their early! Grab the tracks after the jump and get hyped. Enjoy #104:

What I thought about drum & bass was forever changed after I stumbled into Sub Focus’s set at Coachella. It didn’t quite strike home after years of knowing it existed, but seeing its potential live really set it all straight. And Of all the d&b I’ve been seeking since, L Plus encompasses just about all the good it can be. His four song release titled Amazing EP came out just last weekend, and it’s stuffed with the uplifting synths and high-energy BPM that would be a killer at any show that you’d want to go crazy! I love that stuff. Really changes everything about a show. You’ll understand when you listen:

I still remember long ago when I first heard Yuksek have his way with Phoenix’s over-remixed “Lisztomania,” where he showed everyone precisely how it’s done. He’s been known for procuring some of the danciest tracks in the game and much hasn’t changed. Today he finds the release of two EPs where he hopes will lead him to well deserved, widespread recognition. The first is his solo work entitled The Edge EP. Perfect for any Summer playlist, The Edge is made in textbook poolside style. The track received touchups from Aeroplane, Panteros666, Beni and Kim…all of which were new to me, but Aeroplane’s reigned supreme. Purchase the EP here!

The next is a special treat for all of the avid nu disco fans out there. Yuksek teamed up with legendary producer The Magician to form Peter & The Magician. Together they produced the Memory EP with remixes by Le Crayon, NSFW and POiNDEXTER. This EP came together a lot better of the two, though I wouldn’t rule out The Edge. I just like how Memory went a bit more tribal with its danciness. I just imagine myself stranded beach side, palm trees, coconuts, sand between my toes and everything’s just gravy. Plus Le Crayon’s funky rerub is just too funky for words! Purchase the EP here!

Found myself getting a lot of new music in the last week. Lots of high-energy tracks courtesy of Dillon Francis’s Mix for Diplo and Friends; lots of indie, dance tracks guided by Witler’s Poolside Playlist #3; and the rest from my seemingly never ending desire to find new stuff from promos or blogs or whatever! It’s just never enough haha. Nab them all after the jump:

So much great new music! So little time to make posts for everything individually as the goods come out. In big concert news: The Yost Theater in Santa Ana just stormed the OC with more EDM shows than it’s going to know what to do with…Options. Got a lot of great free downloads and upcoming releases after the jump:
