The boys in green are back, and just like the above picture, this song is leaking with that grime and wob we’d expect from Jack Beats. Fresh off their HARD Summer exposé and despite being on tour, they’re still providing choons. Most likely it’s all in support of their album that was promised to come out by the end of the year. Anyhow, the track slaps. Pretty low key compared to what we usually get, but it carries the dirty vibes of any Jack Beats remix. Probably would love it more if I had a more extensive sound system than my laptop speakers. This will just have to do for now.

Dillon Francis, the moombahton and dubstep producing machine, refuses to cut down the amount of banging electro tunes he puts out. More often than not they’re free, and this one is no different. If you haven’t boarded the Dillon Francis train yet, this would be a good place to start. Classic moombah beat with a melodic chorus that holds you at zero gravity before the bass hits. Don’t be conservative with your volume on this one.

Alright I’ve been lagging on doing this, but it’s pretty much festival season and I’m sure everyone would want to know where they’re going sooner than later. I’m just as excited for IDentity Fest as anything! I was about to pay the full $60 just so I could see Kaskade and Pretty Lights before they had the $20 sale. I’m bummed they didn’t have one of the dates in Irvine like they originally planned, but I have a good feeling about Chula Vista’s. We have a few tickets up for grabs and if you don’t want to pay the full price of the show, here’s how you can win one:

HARD usually likes to wait for one of their preceding concerts before they release future lineups, but I guess the excitement kept Destructo from waiting until HARD Summer. Audiotistic was last night and the floors were showered with flyers for the 4th annual HARD Haunted Mansion!!! Holy sh*t f*ck mother of god they’ve done it again. SOULWAX AND 2MANYDJS MAKE THEIR RETURN TO LA! I can’t let up on these guys. They consistently put together some of the top performances I’ve ever beared witness. This year is stacked with another all star lineup that HARD never leaves us without.
Of these artists, I’m excited to see: Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, GOOSE, Skream & Benga, Fatboy Slim, and Tiga. As always I can never get tired of Fake Blood, Laidback Luke, Rusko, Skrillex, and 12th Planet. All in their respected order. It’s going to be another hell of a Halloween. Here we go for round 4!

Goooood morning friends and fam. I usually don’t like to feel regretful of anything, because there’s no point in dwelling about something that’s out of your hands. BUT! I didn’t go to Audiotistic last night, and I really wish I did. I remember coming home last year and writing the second YOLO list after one of the craziest parties I’d ever been to. Bassnectar, Kid Cudi, A-Trak, Treasure Fingers, Harvard Bass, Kill the Noise..NOS Event Center is the best place for events like that, due to it’s sheer size and set up. The warehouses all surround this huge lake that Insomniac decks out with the most insane light fixtures you’ll ever see. DAMMIT! Next year…….besides, HARD Summer is FINALLY less than a week away, and I’m definitely ready. Let’s hang out!
Here are some videos I got from Audio last year just for sh*ts. It’ll definitely give you a good feel of how good I said it was. The best part about the whole thing was that you could walk all the way to the front of the warehouses if you wanted. I was right on the fence for A-Trak and Treasure Fingers. Gahhhhh:

Treasure Fingers was set to go on promptly from 5-7 and A-Trak was to follow from 7-9. Wave House has to be the coolest venue I’ve ever been to. Literally right on Mission Beach, packed with the most beautiful people from wall to wall. Right when you walk in you come up on their massive artificial wave. $40 an hour to ride or free to watch, so I just chilled and jammed to the bumping house until TF came on. We were graced with a straight two hour lounge set filled with the most consistent funk you can get. I will never get tired of it! He filled his set with his remixes of Innerpartysystem’s “It’s Not Getting Any Better” and Classixx “I’ll Get You.” Hey come and tell me do you like bass do ya do ya like bass. And he didn’t let up on his originals from the Lift Me EP. Fully funk-tional set that made the whole trip worth it in that very two hours.
TF set the tone but it was party time when A-Trak manned the decks, and everyone knew it. He never ceases to amaze and you can tell how much fun he’s having every time he spins a fresh set. You can’t fake that stuff. A-Trak played through what seemed to be a perfect Sunday sunset in San Diego and then disappeared to a roaring applause from the satisfied crowd. I had to make moves to catch the boys at Voyeur, so I jumped in the freezing beach showers, club attired myself, and snagged a ride downtown. I was so happy to see that both A-Trak and TF played different and equally amazing sets at both events. It proved that much more to me just how legit they are. A-Trak pumped out banger after banger. “Ray Ban Vision,” throwback tracks like his remix of “Oh!” and of course the Duck Sauce favs “aNYway,” “Barbra Streissand,” and “Big Bad Wolf,” which actually turns out to be much better as a live track than through headphones. Ahwoooooooowoowoowoo. Seeing A-Trak DJ from upstairs where I could see every knob turn, switch flip, record scratch, and beat match put him on a whole new level. He truly is the OGDJ, and I have yet to see his skills topped.
All in all, absolutely awesome day. I love going down to San Diego, because the scene seems to be so much more pure there. EVERYONE was dancing to the point of overwhelming heat and sweatiness, but no one seemed to care. Chants, dance circles, dirty dancing, pounding house music all added to make those two events some of the most fun parties I’ve been to. I’ve seen them both countless times, and I don’t plan on letting up anytime soon. I only wish I had my FlipCam with me to document, but you’re just going to have to see them for yourself next time they come around. I’ll definitely be there when they do, so let’s get down!
The SoCal debut of the “A” at Coachella topped with A-Trak’s relentless beat juggling abilities. How can someone be so tight, yet hang so loose?

A-Trak @ Voyeur (Photo: Mackenzie Bradley)
Woke up early Sunday morning to get ready for an adventure I didn’t know I was going to take. I found out about this show when Laidback Luke came to play back to back sets in May. Once at Voyeur and then straight to 4th&B to close out the night. L.E.D. events have a thing for two-a-days, and Fool’s Golds’ A-Trak and Treasure Fingers flew together for this one. I had one goal on Sunday and that was get to San Diego to see two hour sets from the best house DJs I know. My friends were dropping like flies, but Chronic Mncher wised up to the occasion and we made the drive. A-Trak and Treasure fingers were playing at Wave House and then rushing to Voyeur to do San Diego right.
