Beyond Wonderland - Chess Village [Concert Review]

I know it’s pretty late for me to be posting this, but I’ve just been swamped with a lot – school, work, and music stuff. But anyways, even though it’s been almost 2 months since Beyond Wonderland happened, I think it’s safe to say that it was just one of those events that everyone can talk about this whole year, whether you were there for DJ Fei Fei’s controversial dubstep set at the ASOT stage or you watched Steve Aoki’s crazy live visual set. For me, I spent my entire stay at Beyond Wonderland at the Chess Village, which was the bass music stage. It featured the talents of Fury, Crizzly, MistaJam, Ed Rush and Optical, Magnetic Man, Camo & Krooked, High Contrast, Andy C, and Netsky.

Netsky - Give & Take [New Single]

Netsky [Hospital]: Official | Facebook

New single from Netsky out NOW on Hospital Records. 'Feel-good dancefloor-driven liquid D&B at its best, with sultry, slo-mo beats giving way to rolling drums, shuddering subs and the kind of soaring asymmetrical synth melodies and shimmying piano keys which make up Netsky's signature sound.' Check it out in the video below.

Carl Cox - Drum & Bass Global Special [Mix]

When you think of Carl Cox drum & bass doesn't necessarily come to mind. To be honest I was scratching my head when I first saw this. Let's just say after pressing play all doubts were erased. I'm slightly tempted to contact him and ask for more liquid D&B sets in the future. You can find the full tracklist here. Press play and enjoy!

I'm a big fan of anything Rottun Recordings releases, so this one's a treat. Fans of Datsik, Excision, Downlink, and basically anyone who's ever released anything on EX7 or Rottun will enjoy this release.

Danny Byrd And Netsky - Tonight (Cutline Remix) by Cutline

Huge drum and bass banger from an awesome collaboration between Hospital Records artists Danny Byrd and Netsky. I don't know if it's because I'm a sucker for catchy hooks (who isn't?), but this is definitely one I enjoy a lot. It has a very feel good vibe to it and the music video's also pretty damn entertaining. My favorite remix off this release is definitely Cutline's drumstep remix; I just love the beat and the twist that they put on the vocal hook. I think after just a couple listens, you'll be singing along with the chorus and humming that melody.

Beyond Wonderland 2011 [Caterpillars Garden: Line Up]

So I've been feeling pretty sick this whole week because of a combination of lack of sleep, long school hours, overpriced food on campus, and being around other sick people, but finding out the drum & bass/dubstep stage line up for Beyond Wonderland 2011 got me stoked (not to mention also feeling a little better about being sick)! For those of you who don't know, Beyond Wonderland is a music festival held in San Bernadino, CA by Insomniac Events, which many people in the electronic music scene in North America would know, are responsible for such events like Nocturnal, Audiotistic, Together As One (on New Year's Eve) and the more well-known and famous Electric Daisy Carnival.

The confirmed line-up for the Caterpillars Garden (dubstep/drum&bass/bass music stage) as of right now is:
