· APR 8, 2026 What is your favorite in between sets moment? Not the drop you waited all day for, not the headliner, not even the song that’s been stuck in your head for weeks. The in between. It’s a strange question at first, …
· APR 2, 2026 Not all drops hit the same. Some feel like an exhale you didn’t realize you were holding, while others feel like something cracking open inside your chest. Same structure, same build, same moment of impact, but completely different emotional outcomes. …
· MAR 30, 2026 No one really arrives at a show knowing anyone. You come with your group, maybe. A few familiar faces, a plan loosely built around set times. But step onto the dance floor, and that circle starts to blur almost immediately. …
· MAR 26, 2026 There was a time when the mic was part of a DJ’s performance. The cues were predictable, almost expected. They told the crowd when to move, when to react, when the drop was coming. For a while, that kind of …
· MAR 23, 2026 A lot of the music that defines a festival season doesn’t start on streaming platforms. It starts in the middle of a set, slipped quietly between two familiar tracks. No announcement. No release date. Just a moment where the crowd …
· MAR 20, 2026 Not long ago, the role of a DJ was relatively straightforward. Two decks, a mixer, a stack of tracks, and the skill to blend them smoothly. The magic lived in timing and taste, reading a room while keeping the music …
· MAR 19, 2026 Some songs are massive on a festival stage and strangely quiet on streaming platforms. You hear them live, surrounded by thousands of people, and they feel unstoppable. The drop hits, the crowd erupts, and for a moment it seems like …
· MAR 16, 2026 Not everyone grows up feeling like they fit neatly into the spaces around them. Some people learn early how to shrink themselves. To soften their voice. To laugh at jokes that don’t land. To edit their interests. To translate who …
· MAR 5, 2026 The bass hits, but it doesn’t move until the crowd does. From above, a festival stage looks like the focal point. Lights flare outward. Visuals stretch across LED walls. The DJ stands elevated, framed like the main character. But zoom …
· NOV 17, 2025 After 15 festivals and more than 60 shows, I have learned that Arizona’s EDM scene is not just built by the artists onstage. It is built by the people who fill the dance floor with personality, humor, chaos, heart, and …
· AUG 7, 2025 If you’re craving a night that hits deeper than just bass drops and party anthems, circle August 10th on your calendar. EMBRZ, the self-taught producer known for crafting gorgeously emotional dance music, is bringing his ethereal sound to Sunbar in …
· JUN 3, 2025 When Alok drops a track like “HIGHJACK,” it’s not just something to listen to, it’s something to feel. From the moment the track kicks in, it captures that unmistakable energy that ravers crave, that tension, grit, and release. The intro …
· MAY 14, 2024 Wonk champion GorillaT, rising stars Xotix, and hip-hop artist Pure Powers have teamed up to bring us a new release, titled “Ape Shit.” In my last GorillaT article, I mentioned that GorillaT should collaborate with more rap and hip-hop artists. …
· FEB 15, 2018 Fresh off of Nicky Romero‘s Protocol Recordings imprint, fiesta-chieftains Teamworx and Sunstars are bringing the party back to “party anthem” with their brand new single, “Playin’ Around.” In their new track, both teams take the word “progressive” to a new …
