I PROMISE all of our Electric Daisy Carnival Las Vegas coverage and our photo galleries from all 3 nights (and mornings haha!) will be up SOON!!! (hopefully tonight, but definitely by TOMORROW!!)

TheMixster.com will be lending our festival crusading skills and repping TheMusicNinja.com this weekend at ELECTRIC DAISY CARNIVAL!!!! And we couldn’t be more delighted to hit the great EDM frontier in Vegas!! Check out our full-on preview of some of our don’t-you-fucking-DARE-miss acts and free tuneage from our top select epic artists HERE!!!
Also here are a few extra we’d like to add to the list!!
THE GLITCH MOB
This LA-based three-piece sent out a super ambiguous and equally frustrating email the other day with simply a subject line stating “We Can Make The World Stop”; the message itself contained only one photo (above) and one simple line: “July 12th”. Stuff like this gives me terrible EDM have-to-know-it-all anxiety. But knowing well the unmatched powerhouse stamina these guys have inside the studio, I’m going to assume the best and say WE HAVE A NEW GLITCH MOB ALBUM ON OUR HANDS PEEPS!!!!
And I don’t doubt that their live set at EDC will be absolutely RIDDEN with new tracks and epic new tunes. YES. THE GLITCH MOB – Saturday 9:30-10:30pm: cosmicMEADOW
SKREAM & BENGA: If you were present for the magnificent occasion that was MAGNETIC MAN at Coachella, and their first EVER live performance in the States, then every aural crevice inside your bass head should be quivering with sheer ecstasy at the very thought of this illustrious pair taking the stage. Two-thirds of Magnetic Man, aka Skream & Benga, will be double-dominating the EDC decks and they’ll be using every tool in their filthy bass arsenal to drive your helpless body fucking bonkers. You’d be an absolute fool to miss this experience. SKREAM & BENGA – Friday 1:30am – 3:00am: bassPOD
BENNY BENASSI
Even I have to take a break from my beloved array of screeching growls and bit-crunching stabs. Thus I’m going to take a delightful walk, perhaps I’ll even skip over to the Kinetic Field on Saturday night to catch Benny Benassi’s set as he throws down his usual can’t-help-but-smile-while-you-boogie sets, with an über healthful abundance of new tracks from his new album ELECTROMAN out now on Ultra Records. Nothing beats seeing an EDM legend, still dominating the world with a whole new insurgence of top-notch tunes. Gotta show the pioneer some love. BENNY BENASSI – Saturday 12:00am-1:30am: kineticFIELD

We here at TheMixster.com have been taking a look back at the wonders that brought us immense growth and a heap of amazing memories in honor of our One Year Anniversary. Festivals are always a highlight of our personal lives, and something we have deeply enjoyed sharing with others, and you. It’s a necessity to be prepared for these awe inspiring gatherings, which no matter how many times you attend, offer fresh, mind-blowing experiences.
We’ve compiled timeless guides to some of the biggest festivals in the country, what to expect, and how to conquer your attendance. If you’ve never attended a massive before, these are your festival guide 101′s. If you are a regular heavy partygoer, you’ll find views and tips to enhance your experience that you might have never thought of before. Feel free to dig deep, search, and explore. We’ve made these to be used rigorously, just like a field guide/ party handbook.
There are so many unbelievable parties scheduled for this year, so enjoy your next big festival Mixsters! We definitely will…you can count on that!
So we’ve already been over how especially magical Kaskade’s performance was this year at Electric Daisy Carnival. Well here’s a perfect footage of that memory: That has preserved a particularly special selection from Kaskade’s killer set, with, surprisingly, phenomenal sound and video quality.
A collaborative effort betweenJustin Michael (on Ultra Records w/Kaskade,Deadmau5, etc.) and Kemal has resulted in a gleefully swoon-worthy remix of Kaskade’s track “Don’t Stop Dancing”, which is precisely the listening selection you have been provided here. (Or after the Jump!) (more…)
Day two was our day to explore the inner depths of the Electric Daisy Carnival — as the day before we found ourselves somewhat trapped inside the Coliseum’s gates.
FOUR other stages existed beyond the Coliseum’s gates — Cosmic Meadow, Circuit Grounds, Bass Pod, and the Neon Garden. One had to explore the Bass Pod, as it stationed in the very exact center of the carnival, there was little one could do to avoid it, so between sets it only felt right to embrace it. (more…)
An event wildly different than the Coachella-esque style that I’d been somewhat expecting, Electric Daisy Carnivalwas in a world entirely all its own. Whereas Coachella was more on the Hipster spectrum of vibe and style, EDC encompassed the epitome of every raver stereotype, come to life — and you were surrounded by nearly hundreds of thousands of them for 48 hours of pure fluorescent-lit, neon-glo rave hysteria — although a far more controlled chaos than that of Coachella.
Instead of by stage, we decided to engineer our very own guide of line-ups: Organized day by day, with set time schedules for EDC, all lined up pretty and perfect; and we even included a venue map at the bottom of each (why didn’t anybody ELSE think of this?!?!) — So you wouldn’t be lost trying to navigate your way through the crowds and carnival madness.
And we decided to share this little treasure with all of you as well — it would be rude not to right?!
So we’ve already formatted it so that it will fit absolutely perfectly on a sheet of paper — so you can stick this pretty little piece in your back pocket for frequent referencing throughout your adventures in electro wonderland…
Still iffy about what’s allowed and what’s not, what to wear, how to deal with transportation,parking, or just need a great reference guide for the weekend?! Check out our Electric Daisy Carnival Survival Guideright here for ALL the answers!
You’ll find the guide for Saturday, after the jump.
It’s all finally happening. This thing is really really happening!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
So let’s do this RIGHT: Below you will find our carefully curated and unbelievably resourceful Survival Guide to EDC — fit to boot with EVERYTHING YOU COULD POSSIBLY EVER NEED TO KNOW about careening around the wildest weekend of your summer.
Do’s and Don’ts, “Not-So-Obvious-Prohibited-Items”, Parking Maps, EVERY TAXI NUMBER in the area, what to wear, how to do your hair, our tips on who to see, who to skip, and MORE -all in our survival guide!
You’ll also find a few posts below that, the most essential EDC mixtape: Three hours of pure love and electro mayhem, featuring the best of the best and the newest of the newest from the world’s leaders on the 1s and 2s. DON’T forget to update you iPod with that lovely sonic goodness before you go.
However, this is the creme de la creme: The info we have all been waiting for is HERE IS RIGHT NOW!
The Venue Map and Set Times have been released. And we have them ALL here, ready for your eyes to feast on — after the jump.
Print out and save on your smart phones our three part EDC series, and all you’ll have to worry about this weekend honey, is keeping that sweet smile on your face and bouncing along gleefully on the aural and carnival rides you’ll likely be diving face first into. Weeeee!!!! (more…)
Electric Daisy Carnivalis more than just any music festival or an underground dance music rave — it’s all that PLUS amusement park rides and carnie folk. Yep. It’s pretty weird. But the line-up, especially this year’s line up, boasts probably the most impressive round up of the world’s best DJs and producers who are at the top of their game, and will be together — all in one, same place. This year’s line-up went over and beyond anything I had expected — or actually could mentally prepare myself for, following all that Coachelladesert madness.
But regardless of the excitement that lies ahead and probably the most worthwhile $120 bucks you’ll drop all summer, there’s always ways to ensure you have the MOST fun possible. Thus, we’ve responded to our call for duty, and although we are just as fiendishly excited with quivering knees for EDC as you all are, we’ve taken a step back and created a special go-to survival guide, for you to refer back to often throughout your electro wonderland of adventures;
So you’ll always be in the know, thoroughly prepared, and for those times when you’re a little lost, this will be the key that will get you where you need, no, where you should be during this 48 Hour Bender.
