Swedish House Mafia Masquerade Takeover

Swedish House Mafia's swan song parades through Los Angeles in March.  Its called Masquerade Motel, but may as well be a full on music festival with the way it is being marketed.  The acts final west coast performance is a two day extravaganza taking place at L.A.'s State Historic Park near downtown.  



Although Saturday March 9th is already sold out, you can still get tickets to the March 8th show here.  Support performers include Nero, Alesso, Clockwork, Monsta, Zedd, Sub Focus, No_ID and more.  

SUPERGOODMUSIC is hosting a contest for tickets to the show.  We will be sending a lucky winner to night 1 and another lucky winner to night 2 - each with a homie or homette of their choosing.    The way you enter is by emailing contest@supergoodmusic.com, reposting this link on your twitter, facebook or blog and/or tweeting out @supergoodmusic @livenation_LA #SHMcontest.  We will choose winners sometime before March 1st - so the earlier you enter, the better!

TURNT UP: New Filth from Just Blaze & Baauer!

Its super real in 2013, which is why everyone should be getting "Higher" ... of course I mean this ill track by Just Blaze and Baauer.   The traptastic anthem steps into the echelon of party music from its opening drops with vocal samples courtesy of Hova himself - Jay-Z.  These two hot producers made sure underground clubs and dance floors will in fact be rocking with the best on their fiercely bass heavy track.   If there was a dictionary that used songs rather than words for definitions - you'd find this under the entry "turnt up" - its just that filthy.  

Check it out and get your January playlists bumping hard.  

Cirque Du Soleil Goes EDM in 2013 with MGM Resorts & The Light Group

Cirque Du Soleil is getting the electronic music facelift in 2013 with the help of The Light Group and MGM Resorts International...and its going to be legit.  

The LIGHT at Mandalay Bay is launching in March 2013 as Cirque Du Soleil's first nightclub venture - entering with all the shock and awe that their numerous productions are known for - including video mapping, lighting and sound and special effects from experts Moment Factory.   The 38,000 square foot venue will "serve as a laboratory, very much like [Cirque Du Soleil's] special events and projects have done int he past, for different and new artistic possibilites," said Gay Laliberte, Founder of Cirque Du Soleil.  Joined by Amy Thomson, manager of Swedish House Mafia, and Light Group founder Andrew Sasson, the trio's joint venture looks to bring theatrical nightlife to a whole new territory in the epicenter of America's wild nightclub scene - Las Vegas.

You might be able to guess what artists are likely in the running to be part of some of the opening nights (ahem - Swedish House Mafia maybe???), but you can check all updates at http://haveyouseenthelight.com as well as the venues social media pages.    It's probably not a bad idea to book a room at Mandalay Bay for every weekend in March - it may give you your best chance at getting to experience The LIGHT!

Porter Robinson Releases "Language" Video

Just watch and enjoy.  Want to go on an adventure?  Just sit back and enjoy Porter Robinson's latest music video - the official one for "Language."  The shots and effects are spectacular - which only makes the song feel that much more epic.  The falling on each release and bass drop is a nice editing touch - and by the end of the video - it feels like you just finished Neverending Story.


Props to Porter on this one.

"You do your body work/I feel my pulse working overtime..."

Easily memorizable lyrics.  Mathematic constant beat.  Sometimes simple is the way to go - as evidenced by this Morgan Page track "Body Work" featuring Canada's Tegan and Sara.   Enjoy the video and cop a download of it from here.

Kaskade is invading downtown Los Angeles in July on his Freaks of Nature Tour.  July 27, 2012 at Staples Center to be exact.

The promo video at least has to get you slightly hyped.   If you caught him in Sahara and the dancing buildings on screen - you were probably sonically and visually stunned.   The sensory onslaught continues this summer as the EDM takeover takes residence in the Lakers household.  I'm certain you probably won't find a better party that night - at least not a more energetic one.  With tickets reasonably priced at the low cost of $20 - you can expect that Staples will get CRAYBANS.

Don't miss out.  Cop your tickets here if you want to guarantee your entry.  Tune back into @supergoodmusic frequently to figure out how you can win some tickets from us for free or just sign up for our CONCERT BLAST newsletter at http://www.jaminthevan.com/blast.html to access more chances to win free tickets!

Glorification of Drug Use - "Molly"

The latest from Cedric Gervais - "Molly" - glorifies the use of Mole, Molly, molecule, MDMA or whatever you refer to the EDM culture drug as. As the lyrics note - it makes you want to dance... and the video has a lot of skin.

Are you disgusted by the lyrics?

Electronic Music's Next Huge Thing: Porter Robinson

If you felt like you were late to the Skrillex party last year, don't make the same mistake twice. We hope you learned your lesson and are already hip to Porter Robinson because he could be the next act to blow the roof off of electronic music. The 19-year-old’s accomplishments thus far rival many seasoned veterans’ and may we remind you he’s only 19?!?

Having just completed a tour supporting Tiesto in which Robinson performed for the largest DJ event in US history (approximately 26,000 were in attendance), his peers are already touting him as one of the nu-breed saviors of electronic music. Porter Robinson was featured on Billboard’s “Top 21 Under 21” list, and managed to crash Beatport’s servers when he released his Spitfire EP earlier this year. He’s already remixed the likes of Lady Gaga and Avicii with several more A-list offers rolling in. What’s that, you want to see Porter Robinson live? Well you’re in luck because he’s stopping by The Music Box Saturday December 3rd (get tickets here).

If you can, clear your schedule on the 3rd…you won’t be disappointed.
