MDP - One Year of Local Love

MiamiDanceParty.com Celebrates 1st Anniversary with Free Party Featuring Kate Simko and Event Calendar Launch

It’s been 1 year since Justin Ryan started the MiamiDanceParty.com project. The website, a weekly house/techno podcast focused on developing Miami’s growing underground club scene, was quickly accepted by dj’s and scenesters alike. The first 50 episodes featured 35 Miami-based artists, transmitting over a terabyte of music to a listener base that spans the globe.

Never one to sit still, Justin Ryan has launched the first Miami-based events calendar focused solely on the underground dance music scene. The user-friendly calendar is already flourishing and is cementing itself as the go-to site for local techno and house lovers to piece together their late night adventures.

Now… it’s time to celebrate.

Ghostly International & Spectral Sound darling Kate Simko will headline the website’s 1-year anniversary party on November 13th. She’ll be joined by venerable local dj’s Alejandro Sab (Pl0t) and Sebastian Cariaga (Escada), along with MDP residents Justin Ryan & Kirk Jon at the Ecco Lounge in Downtown Miami. Partygoers must RSVP through MiamiDanceParty.com to be listed for the event.

TEN Days of BPM Heaven

The 4^th Annual BPM Festival

Playa del Carmen, Mexico

December 31^st, 2010 – January 9^th, 2011

http://t.ymlp163.com/qhhhadamhuaoaeybmacawyhm/click.php

After a record-breaking turnout in 2010, with over 18,000 people in attendance, The BPM Festival is returning to Playa del Carmen, Mexico for its 4^th year of world-class DJs and parties on the sunny shores of the Mayan Riviera. For the first time ever, this year’s edition will include the biggest night of the year, New Year’s Eve, to kick off the 10-day festival. The BPM Festival is now pleased to announce the official 2011 dates: December 31^st, 2010 – January 9^th, 2011.

The BPM Festival is also excited to announce the initial artist lineup (in alphabetical order): Adam K, Air London Showcase with Nick Curly & Simon Baker, Behrouz, Boris, Carlo Lio, Chus & Ceballos, Crosstown Rebels with Damian Lazarus / Seth Troxler / Jamie Jones / Art Department, Davide Squillace, Dubfire, Hernan Cattaneo, Laidback Luke, Lee Burridge, Loco Dice, Marco Carola, Richie Hawtin, Saeed Younan, Sean Miller, Steve Angello, Steve Lawler and many more artists to be announced. For the biggest night of the year, Argentinian powerhouse Hernan Cattaneo will be ringing in the New Year!

In its few short years of existence, The BPM Festival has continued to expand and grow year after year, pushing its own boundaries, and constantly challenging itself to provide a world-class electronic music experience in one of the most spectacular beach locations on the planet. Originally designed as an elite industry-networking event, the festival has morphed into an international mélange of electronic music lovers, DJs, producers, revelers and partygoers, all united to escape the winter doldrums and holiday in the sun. Beautiful outdoor and indoor venues are spread around the resort town of Playa del Carmen, hosting parties day and night, along with a wide selection of the world's finest DJs. 2010’s edition saw over 70 artists from around the globe take to the decks and this year promises to be even bigger, with more day parties and night parties to choose from on any given night, and with the addition of New Year's Eve.

Playa del Carmen is an idyllic, beautiful Mexican resort town, tucked into the coastline of the Mayan peninsula, 45 minutes south of the tourist haven Cancun. White sand beaches, turquoise waters, wonderful food, and lots—and lots—of sunshine await those who make the trip.

Partnerships for this year’s BPM Festival include Beatport Beach Party, Space Beach Party (Miami), Playhouse LA Beach Party (LA), and Bal en Blanc White Party (Montreal). The many venues participating in BPM Festival—including Blue Parrot, Brahma, La Santanera, Kool Beach, Alux Cave and Blue Cacao Beach Club and more—will provide a different setting each night in this Mexican Caribbean paradise.

A limited amount of PRE-SALE specially priced VIP 10-DAY PASSES will be on sale beginning October 20th, 2010.

More announcements are coming soon. The 2011 festival lineup is growing daily, with many exciting additions, along with a brand new website to host all the information. For festival details and travel packages, please go to: www.thebpmfestival.com.

Rumor Mill: LovEvolution 2010 Cancelled

So, I wanted to address all the rumors going around about LovEvolution. In case you haven't heard, people have been blabbing about LovEvolution being CANCELED. So far this is 100% NOT TRUE. What we do know is that there is a lot of pressure on the organizers for this event, in light of the recent tragedies of Love Parade and EDC. Authorities in California are keeping a watchful eye on what they deem as "raves". The event might be scaled down and moved from it's Market St route and location in front of City hall. This has not been confirmed.

OK, so here is the bad news for all you Spundae fans. Even thought there will be a Spundae float, the after party is however canceled.

LovEvolution has not made any official announcements but a friend did FWD me this email: (It's not a government secret so I took the liberty of posting it!)

From: SF LovEvolution <info@sflovevolution.org>

We are going through a bunch of talks w the city re: our location and other event logistics.

That's why we haven't been able to update people. We are 99% on for the event, but not sure as to the location.

We hope to announce any day now!

Stay tuned.

Hello, Messaging you from sunny Florida. So I've been hearing rumors that Lovevolution is canceled this year? Is this true? I figure it's just a rumor at this point because there has been no official word on the site. I'm curious because I am currently planning my trip. About to book flights and hotels and it would be a complete waste if I did it for no reason. :-( Any info to clear up this rumor for me would be greatly appreciated. Take care and see you in October if all is well. Peace & Love Matthew Pentycofe Mr. James Demon

A good Reason visit to North Carolina? MOOG

My friend Gabe AKA Casper sent me the info for this festival. I never thought Ashville would be a place I would want to go to but when I saw the line up for Moog, it makes me very tempted.

Especially the fact that the last day is Halloween!!! Of course my friend that I nick named after a ghost had to send me the info for a festival during Halloween, how fitting. Last day ends with a Halloween party, headlined by Pretty Lights and Hot Chip and yes costumes are welcomed!

The travel packages offered are not so tempting. They start at $1,199 STEEP! I bet me and my buddy kayak.com could probably find a better deal. Tickets are a good value: day tickets are $75, weekend passes are totally worth it for $149.50.

Latest Press Release:

MOOGFEST ADDS HOT CHIP, PRETTY LIGHTS, GIRL TALK, PANDA BEAR, DAN DEACON, FOUR TET, RJD2, EL-P, DÂM-FUNK, SCHOOL OF SEVEN BELLS, MATMOS, EMERALDS AND MORE TO 2010 LINEUP!

MASSIVE ATTACK, THIEVERY CORPORATION, BIG BOI, MGMT, JONSI AND CARIBOU ALSO CONFIRMED TO PERFORM.

Decibel 2010 News

Anticipation is building for 2010 Decibel Festival and with only a month out, we're excited to announce this year's complete festival program. Our biggest addition to the festival is none other than Flying Lotus, whose 2010 album 'Cosmogramma' has made the young artist one of the most critically acclaimed and influential electronic producers in the world. Flying Lotus will be performing Thursday night as part of the FlyLo and Friends Showcase, which also features West Coast luminaries Eskmo, Lorn, Samiyam and Seattle's own Truckasauras. Other major announcements include the expanded dB in the Park events (Saturday and Sunday at The Mural Amphitheater in Seattle Center) and the 2010 dB Conference (Wednesday through Friday at Pravda Studios). The final program includes a free three day conference, 27 showcases across 11 different venues and over 100 artists representing 15 countries (see SHOWCASES below). Both passes and individual showcase tickets are limited, so we encourage you to purchase them in advance to guarantee admission (see PASSES / TICKETS info below).

FLYING LOTUS TO HEADLINE dB

Flying Lotus is more than a fearless beat scientist, innovative artist, label head, community leader and intrepid explorer of spiritual sound; he is a portal to the future of music. Taking an eclectic, wide-brained approach, Flying Lotus' sound includes a thick amalgamation of musical species: hip-hop, funk, IDM, jazz, dubstep, psychedelia and glitch, baked together with experimental rhythms and soulful style to create an entirely new electronic experience. Flying Lotus isn't just a producer, and this isn't just music. This is mythology, a story of beats and bass, and it swirls around Flying Lotus like blunt smoke on the balcony of Low End Theory. He has introduced the infinite possibilities of jazz to a whole new era of listeners, and his soothing presence encourages the mental release necessary to join an avant-garde artist on his musical explorations. The central figure of the Los Angeles-based Brainfeeder clan and record label, Flying Lotus is also an inspiration to an entire global community, an intimate group of heads for whom his shifty beats and elemental bass are pathways to another realm. The significance of his sound stretches as far as the inner journey that his listeners are willing to take, for Flying Lotus understands the deep connection between human beings and music. It is in this space between that the sonic shaman travels. Read More...
