Dancefloor Linguistics

Jacuzzi Hi-Dive just finished up a top notch promo mix and we've got the exclusive available for download! I caught up with Aily over the weekened and she had nothing but positive words about it. "This mix is something we put together that fused our love of dancing, funky jams, a good party, as well as all things tropical and foreign. We love fun music, and this captures our personalities quite well actually. It's an hour long epic ride through several genres and 5 languages. Spiced it up with a bit of ghettoness to keep it real and, voila!! Great vibes all throughout."

Weekend In Review

So this past weekend's Hard Summer Fest was a complete failure, getting shut down less than 2 hours in. Only being able to squeeze in opening performances by Ed Banger's Busy P and Crystal Castles. To me, the synopsis was fairly simple. In all reality, they basically just sold way too many tickets. With almost 20,000 people showing up to a venue that had a capacity of 17,800, it was complete mayhem. Kids were jumping over the railings from the second level twenty feet below to the VIP floor section, triggering the fire marshals to halt the show with the LAPD and SWAT eventfully showing up to send everyone home at midnight (after 2 hours of waiting). What garbage! With ticket sales summing up to at least $1.2 million, I'm sure every attendee feels like they were ripped off in a major way. But there's light at the end of the tunnel, refunds are available from Ticketmaster and Groovetickets and should be posted to the credit card they were purchased with.

Sunday on the other hand, was a much better day. Started out the afternoon at the High Top Fade Binary Pool Party @ The Standard in downtown Los Angeles. It was the perfect place to hang on gorgeous Sunday afternoon, making me really wish there something like that in Vegas. Don't get me wrong, there are lots of pool parties at the hotel/casinos here but all lack character and subtle aesthetics. A great lineup including France's DATA. played from 2PM - 8PM, keeping the vibe fresh and upbeat.


Made it back to Hollywood just before 9pm to eat some food, nap, and make the 2 block jaunt from our hotel on Hollywood & Vine to Bardot, where Dim Mak was doing the Banana Split party. The place was packed but thanks to a certain someone, totally got to skip the line and the cover. DJ AM, Busy P blazed through really fun sets but I think Paul Devro stole the show as far as repetoire goes. He was holdin' it down heavy. Check him out on Mad Decent. Oh yea, Wil.I.Am showed up, a few ppl got pics with him but for the most part nobody paid him any attention. It was a fairly amusing moment.



Here's a mix to cool you down on this hot and sweaty Tuesday.
