10 Days Left Till Spring Awakening Music Festival 2015
Spring Awakening Music Festival is only 10 days away and in honor of that… we have 10 Spring Awakening Music Festival suggestions for your killer weekend!
Stages
You MUST check out every stage! The best part of music festivals are the stages! Each stage represents the crowd, the music, the vibe and whatever fills your musical love tank!
HYDRATE! it's hot in Chicago and you'll be outside the whole time... don't be the person that needs to hit up the first aid area because you're not taking care of yourself. Plus, you invested too much into your trip to let it be ruined by not drinking enough water... so drink your water!
Charge your phone and have a portable charger. We suggest the RAVpower. It's cool looking, it comes in a bunch of different colors and it has a LED flashlight that can help you find your way!
SAVE UP YOUR ENERGY! Chicago is known to party like crazy and the lineup of after parties is shaping up to be unreal! Check springawakeningfestival.com for more info and details!
First of all, think about what you're going to wear. You want to be comfortable, though, hopefully, you'll be taking a lot of pix... so try to look cute. When it comes to accessorizing, not too much. You don't want tan lines and also you don't want to be carrying a bunch of stuff. Grab your favorite pair of sunglasses, bag to carry your wallet, water, phone, phone-charger, flag and call it a day!!!
Shoes! wear comfortable shoes! You're going to be on your feet and be walking a lot! So treat your feet like gold. If you're tired, rest up... if you need to sit, sit. But if you can't, rely on your comfortable... but cute... shoes!
Last, but for sure very important, take as many pix as you can! Grab your crew, make new friends, killer light shows, fireworks, selfies... record it all! there's nothing better than waking up the next morning and looking back at the unreal memories you'll make at SAMF!
Snake Pit 2015 with A-trak, Steve Aoki, Kaskade, and Milk and Cookies
Almost 100 years old, the Indy 500 has created a pretty killer list of epic stories and out of control experiences for race fans across the world! The last couple of years, the new and improved Snake Pit has brought in unreal talent and incredible music. So what happens when 4 legendary musicians take over the Snake Pit? The VIP stage breaks!!! The music was incredible, the energy was wild and the React Presents team threw down one hell of a party! The Snake Pit gates open at 7am and the party was well on its way (parties were raging as early as 4am in the lots surrounding the Indianapolis Motor Speed Way).
Indy 500 Snake Pit
Sinclair Wheeler, local DJ and a personal friend, took over the stage and elevated the energy to its raging levels. A-trak followed with some incredible beats and dirty sounds, making him one of the crowds favorite. Steve Aoki took the stage next… man on man did he put on a killer show. Cakes were thrown and bodies surfed the crowd, all while the Indy 500 racers geared up and lined up for the 99th race. Kaskade followed the green flagged and took us well into the race. Though, honestly we just watched Kaskade thump the VIP stage into a close crash. Thanks to Miller Lite VIPs were able to enjoy the music with complimentary drinks, to make up for the stage inability to rage up. Dynamic duo Milk N Cookies closed the Snake Pit down with their dirty bass and party sound. Check out our personal experience and if you there… tell us who you loved the most!!

As the summer heat continues to raise and the music festivals around the world clutter our instagram feed our favorite due, The Chainsmokers, drop a killer track. Whether you’re a deep-house junky or a commercial music socialite, you’ll love the uplifting energy of the song. The vocals tell a story that we all connect to, the drops fuel the anticipation for every other beat and, lets be extra honest, the entire track is PERFECTION! Check out the track and make sure you get it on iTunes or Spotify below:
Hit play on the video below, close your eyes, let the music slowly fill you, let it speak to you… let it remind you of the time where EDM was a bad 80’s video and neon was worn by skinny models in workout videos… But listen to the strings, the vibrations, the transitions, the power each key is played on that piano, and then… let it play. Tommy Trash and Wax Motif teamed up with a classically trained artists to recreate their hit electronic track ‘HEX’. The result:
Starting May 16th Governors Club on New York City’s Governors Island will be hosting the ‘Open Air NY’ music event series! So hop your pretty little butts on the ferry out of the concrete summer heat and enjoy the ‘Open Air NY’ while raging to some of the sexiest electronic beats! The party starts May 16th and will run well through September. The summer series will be powered by Space Ibiza New York and operated by the Lure Group! Excited for a good time? Ready for a killer summer? Get your tix here: http://www.openairny.com/! And hurry! because tickets are going fast!!!!
TGIF lovers!! And what better way to celebrate the weekend by getting something for FREE!! Ok so over the last couple of weeks we’ve really been feeling the sensuality of the deep house movement! Here’s a killer mix of Destiny’s Child ‘Lose My Breath’ by Mingo Starr:
Mingo Starr plays up on the original vocals and adds that sweet sweet bass we all like to get dirty to. The track is perfect for your pregaming rituals! Check out the beats before you download and let us know what you think!
We love Karusell from Leroy Styles vs. Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano. We’ve been huge fans of Sunnery James and Ryan Marciano for a long time, and even got to interview these guys a while ago, so we were super excited to see the release of their new video! Check it out below!
We have recently become huge fans of Klingande and are loving everything they’re putting out. This newest video for their hit RIVAfeaturing Broken Back is yet again more proof that they’re on their way to being HUGE! Check out the video below!
We heard this powerhouse song last month at Ultra Music Festival and we’ve been waiting for the remixed release by Vinai ever since! Now it’s out and we couldn’t be happier! It’s amazing and we love these guys who are getting really well know for mixing DJ’s like David Guetta, Laidback Luke, R3hab and more! Definitely big contenders!
