Winter Music Conference- ( Party Guide Part 1)

Winter Music Conference 

Well with WMC starting Friday in Miami, their is going to be a massive load of parties, especially Record labels throwing some insane parties with a line up of artist that you won't see at any other party besides a music festival *cough* UMF. If you or a friend or anyone you know is heading out to Miami here is a guide for events to check out while out there, please share with them. Enjoy!

Well we will start off with the boys noize records party, this will be alot of fun one, alot of techno in this one, Spank Rock (live) will be legit too who is very underrated. but basically most of the crew from boys noize will be there so it will be family affair.

And I can't forget the crew from LA HARD, they will be throwing a two day party, the first day with Moombahton , i would highly recommend day one on this, crazy good line up, be prepared to sweat you ass off on the dancefloor for this day. 

Salted Music is throwing a party in downtown Miami, and this one you Don't want to miss literally, miguel migs just kills the dancefloor with smooth house music and plus vocals from Lisa Shaw, which will be even better. take note on this event.

 I will let you take some deep breaths and too take all this in for a bit because this is just the start. So Please stay tuned for Part 2-semA

HARD Vegas w/ Boys Noize + Destructo [Upcoming Event]

HARD: Official | Tickets

Looks like Destructo is going HARD as usual. Not only is there a Leap Year Party tonight with Mr. Oizo, and a smoggy DUB POLICE event this saturday with Caspa and friends, next month Gary Richards will be putting a dent in cities nationwide with a party pretty much every single weekend. Over the years HARD has been growing exponentially, from the first HARD 13 at the Shrine with Diplo and Boys Noize, to last years Hard Weekend tour with Simian Mobile Disco. March should officially be deemed HARD month, where the world celebrates HARD mania! I will not be surprised next year when Destructo announces HARD Earth, the simultaneous month long worldwide party featuring the newest outerworldly sensations visiting from different galaxies coming to our planet to expose us to that NEW NEW NEW, NEW sh*t! Gary, I hope you're 10 steps ahead of me. Until then, who's down for a road trip??

HARD presents: HOLY SHIP! 2012 Official Video

We all love visual aids over here at Dank Radio. Even more so during post events that none of us have attended. Cue in the official video for HOLY SHIP! 2012. We interviewed Destructo and heard his favorite moments, but it was still hard for us to picture what went on during the weekend cruise to the dance music paradise this side of the Atlantic. If this video moves you to pre plan and pre arrange your post end of the world partying head over to holyship.com to pre book you weekend of sun + fun.

Bromance #1 - Gesaffelstein & Brodinski [New Release]

Gesaffelstein : Official - Brodinsky : Official - Bromance Records : Official

Technically this shouldn't be included in the "New Release" category since it was released sometime last year. Despite it's release date being way previous to today's actual date I still feel not enough people have heard about this release. If you're a local LA Native you've most likely seen Gesaffelstein and/or Brodinski at a HARD Presents Party, The Well underground, or Mad Decent's Blow Your Head parties. Both tracks below have been absolute dance floor killers. They've worked the most top 40 minded major chord loving vocal hook during build up fans into a dance frenzy to techno music. Which usually at most of the clubs I've spun at, they rarely if EVER dance to straight techno 4/4 in a minor chord progression w/ NO vocals. I really dug these tracks the FIRST time I heard them and I hope you do too. Hint Hint** Brodinski feat. Louisahhh!'s Let The Beat Control Your Body works WONDERS for the dance floor ;)

Destructo [Feature Interview + Tour Dates]

Destructo [HARD] : Official | Photo by : John Juniper
We're starting off the new year with a featured interview with someone who's become a familiar name amongst music enthusiasts from Los Angeles to New York. In the 1990s he was crazy enough to throw parties in Southern California theme parks. He's lived through the forever rotating cycle of popularity of dance music. His multiple multi-day concert series HARD began with a combination birthday/new years eve party a few years back. This man is one of few who can say they've successfully organized and executed a floating concert to the Bahamas and back. He does it all for the music and the love of his fans, which I'm sure by now you all know. Below you'll read highlights from his Holy Ship! adventure, how his upcoming performance at Coachella came to be, and maybe a hint on what's in store for HARD Summer [Purchase tickets here].
