Obviously the shows for which I'm most excited about in the upcoming weeks are Steve
Angello at
Roseland Ballroom on NYE (might try and stay for Victor
Calderone immediately after) and then the following week
Pacha continues its ridiculously good booking line-up with
AFROJACK and
LAIDBACK LUKE on back to back nights (1/7-1/8). I may have to actually bring an
aero-bed to
Pachita and camp out there for that weekend. Both shows are sure to please, and both actually complement
eachother quite well.
Afrojack offers the
quintessential Dirty Dutch sound, which is lots of
sqeaky, hi-pitched
synths and melting bass splattered with more typical
housy melodies
in between, whereas
Laidback Luke focuses more on slightly more mellow
electro-house
synths and more largely (than
Afrojack) on typical
housy melodies. Both have had ridiculously successful 2010's and Luke's new single with John
Mendelson called Time Bomb was actually officially released today with a slew of remixes. Sample it
here - sure to be a banger, and will probably bring more popularity to
Till Tonight, which I think came out honestly a little bit before its time. In either event, both
DJs are awesome in their respective ways and are sure to bring unique energies to the newly renovated
Pacha NYC.
And now for the Ultra News. Phase I of the first time ever and extremely controversial Ultra Music Festival was released today on Ultra's Facebook page and I've copied it below for your convenience.
