Three ∆ngles, Two DJs, & One Dream

Success doesn’t come easy these days.

Everyone is so competitive, and only so many people can be “the best.”

Delta House, however, possesses a unique inspiration to produce creative mixes and the dedication to work endlessly towards their dreams.

Not only does this DJ/producer duo have the potential to become “the best” in the world of EDM, they have the ability to inspire so many listeners with the positivity that surges throughout their music.

Watch Delta House’s video interview to get a sense of what it’s like to have a strong sense of purpose, an undying will, and a true love for music.

Delta House music played in the video:

• Fractal Dimensions (Original Mix)
• Rise Together (Original Mix)
• The Movement (Original Mix)
• Midas (Original Mix)

New ‘Upcoming Events’ Tab!

I thought I’d be a little more personal this week by connecting with you via video rather than text.

With that said, take a moment to watch my live broadcast below, hosted by Google Hangouts, promoting my new ‘upcoming events’ tab located at the top of my blog!

Feel free to comment with any events you think are worth attending that I didn’t mention.

XOXO,

What Does EDM Mean to You?

It’s music… and so much more.

The positive vibes within EDM seem to spread throughout several aspects of both listeners’ and producers’ lives.

EDM’s role around the world is growing at what seems like an infinite rate.  As it widens, more and more people are adopting their own relationship with the genre.

Listen to my interview with three local San Luis Obispo EDM DJ/producers as they answer the question: what does EDM mean to you?

Check out Karl Grand’s SoundCloud and Delta House’s SoundCloud to hear the tracks behind my interview and more.

Timbre: A Free Music & Concert Discovery App

If you haven’t already downloaded the app Timbre, you need to.

Although it sounds a lot like a promiscuous dating app (Tinder) and Kesha’s newest hit (Timber), Timbre is a free concert discovery app available for Apple products and Androids.

This app makes it quick and easy to find live music events around you and even buy tickets instantaneously.

FINGER LICKIN’ FESTIVAL REVIEW

San Francisco, Calif. was raging hardcore this weekend at Finger Lickin’.

I traveled from SLO to review this event! Photo by Rachel Gasparini.

Some of the best EDM headliners filled Fort Mason with music that radiated throughout the city.  Artists included:

Laidback Luke, Adventure Club, DJ Snake, TJR, Green Lantern, and Whitenoize.

LED, Golden Voice, and Collective Efforts Events put on this 18+ festival from start to finish.

Although the lineup was on point, the festival did have weak areas, such as the timing, security, and organization of the event.

EDM Event Companies to Watch: LED x Golden Voice x Collective Efforts

Want to know one way to determine if EDM event tickets are worth buying?

Look past the lineup for a moment and take a look at which event companies are hosting the concert, festival, or rave.

Pause the Music and Reflect

As with anything new, there is always room for improvement.

With this, I’d like to take this post to self-reflect on my work as an EDM girl.

It’s been five weeks since I’ve started writing and I can’t believe how much I’ve discovered about this genre since I’ve started.

WINTER WHITE TOUR FT. STEVE AOKI – CAL POLY SLO

It was a blaze of white, yetis, and people everywhere.

On Friday, Jan. 31^st, the sold-out Winter White Tour took Cal Poly SLO by a storm.

The concert was held in the university’s Rec Center and featured Steve Aoki, as well as Dzeko & Torres, Autoerotique, Max Styler, and Animal Kontrol.

WOBBLELAND 2014 – EDM FESTIVAL

Wobbleland, an EDM festival held this past Friday, exploded at the San Jose Civic Auditorium in California.

This rave has been gaining more and more attention over the years.  On top of selling out for 4 years in a row, Wobbleland was voted Best Dubstep Event at the U.S. Dubstep Music Awards in 2011.

This year’s lineup included:

GRiZ, Doctor P, Cookie Monsta, Kill Paris, Funtcase, Minnesota vs. G Jones, Skism, Protohype, Rekoil vs. Barron, Rudebrat vs. Sam F, John Beaver, & Alexx Adam

Click on any of the artists names to hear more of their music.

Check out my slideshow by clicking on the first photo for exclusive pictures of the event and of my personal journey at my first rave!

Outfit making is the true start of any rave. Tops just aren’t complete without crazy attire including fun colors, jewels, flowers, sequins, and more.

After hours of searching and customizing, it is truly possible to make the perfect top!

When entering the doors of Wobbleland, the captivating lights surrounding the main stage draw in everyone who is ready to start the night right.

While working toward the front of the crowd, it is incredible to see the number of people who are entranced by the music.

Wobbleland hired beautiful and talented dancers to work the stage while DJs played their music.

Wobbleland has an additional stage where a different artist plays simultaneously with the main stage. Although it is smaller in scale, the experience is just as enticing.

When moving from stage to stage, there is an endless amount of people finding themselves in the presence of the music.

If you want to make it to the end of the fun but long night, it is important to hold off on dancing from time to time and rest on the sidelines. And of course, it never hurts to take a couple of cute pictures!

Lights, lights, and more lights.

Make your way to the front as the fog spreads and the headliner is about to come forth. At Wobbleland, everyone was anxious to see the infamous GRiZ.

Although a little late, Griz finally appeared. He surely did not disappoint as he played some of his greatest tracks, including “Smask the Funk” and “Hard Times.”

Wobbleland 2014, we loved you!
