HARD Hunted Mansion / Friday 10.31.2008 / Halloween Party / Los Angeles

Soulwax / Simian Mobile Disco / Deadmau5 / Boys Noize / Crystal Castles / Crookers / Steve Aoki / and more…

WOW! Imagine if the people of HARD could lure Daft Punk and Justice for this show! I would give my left nut but lucky I don’t have too. I creamed my pants when I found this email in my SPAM box of all places!

Tickets are $45 bucks but if the talent don’t call in sick like ‘Kid Sister’ at the last event then this is well worth the buck. Good Music, Halloween, and fucken Electro, bloghouse or whatever you want to call it!

JuJuBeats 2008 The Music and Arts Festival
August 16th 2008

Is it the return of JuJuBeats? The popular outside event became defunct a few years back after a fatal accident with party goers and a pre-bust by officials who stopped the event.

So far the line-up is respectable, but I’d except a bit more for the ‘return’ of JuJuBeats. On the bill now is;

dj Dan . dj Sneak . Donald Glaude . Gene Farris . Mars . Mystre . jeno & Garth . Thrillseekers . Wally Callerio

Electric Daisy Carnival 2008 Pictures

I am very impressed with Insomniac’s production at this year’s EDC. Massive setting, massive props, and massive fun. It seems like Boys Noize was not able to make it *massive bummer* but I guess some things you cannot help. Here are some pics from the downtown LA event that will sure go down in the books.

This years Loveparade is shaping up to be better and bigger then ever, not to be confused with Lovefest 2008 in SF. Here is a small list of official players Underwold, Paul Van Dyk, Armin Van Buuren, Richie Hawtin, Carl Craig, Westbam, DJ Hell and MUCH MUCH MUCH more.

Is it worth forking out the dough and making a trip? Some people say it’s the best exsperience they’ve had. Hmm? Unless it was going to be an historic loveparade I’d rather lay in the Ibiza sand and catch some rays.

Loveparade 2008

What is the Loveparade?
The Love Parade is a popular festival and parade that originated in 1989 in Berlin, Germany, and has now spread throughout the world. Past Love Parades have occurred in Tel Aviv, Mexico City, Acapulco, Vienna, Cape Town, San Francisco, Leeds, Sydney, Santiago and Caracas. [Wiki]

///////The inaugural event, HARD NYE, made headlines as the New Year rang in with headliners Justice, Peaches and 2 Live Crew. This summer’s all-night spectacular will include 2 stages and boast a genre-bending line-up, featuring N.E.R.D, MSTRKRFT, Spank Rock, Kid Sister, A-Trak, Steve Aoki, The Bloody Beetroots, Kill The Noise and many more. If you thought NYE was impressive, prepare to be destroyed this summer. [HARD]

Saturday April 19th, 2008 / 420 Festival by Motive Events / San Bernardino

The smokin’ 420 event this year in Cali will go down in Souther California with no other then doobie man him self dj Sneak. Other players include Junior Sanchez, dj Reza, Barry Weaver, Mars, Dyloot, Evol and many more.

/////////// What does 420 mean? There are varying theories on the origin of 420. Some say that 420 originated from a police code that announces marijuana use is taking place. Yet another story is that a group of guys (Waldo’s) in the 1970’s made 4:20 their official meeting time to smoke marijuana after school. Whether or not 4:20 p.m. is the best time of day for your first hit depends on your own body, your own needs. Some folks feel that waiting until 4:20 enhances ones appreciation of the herb. Of course, your mileage may vary. [Concept420]
