One of your most promising options for New Year’s this year: the Snowglobe Music Festival in Lake Tahoe, December 29-31. The line-up guarantees three days of the nastiest dubstep, glitch-hop, hip-hop, and house. French YouTube mash-up star Madeon will be making one of his debut performances in the United States. Dillon Francis and Figure will be bringing in the exclusive new moombahton bangers in complement to their electro/fidget and dubstep roots (and a lot of drumstep in the case of Figure). Big Gigantic will represent the ever so common saxophone-with-live-EDM format. Underground glitch genius Dave Tipper will most likely be the favorite of anybody who’s had the pleasure of hearing him before. Porter Robinson, the 19- or 20- year-old electro house front-runner who’s been touring with Tiesto, will bring his sound to the Lake. “Community” TV star Donald Glover will be there as his rap alter ego, Childish Gambino. Also on the bill is Datsik, who was recently able to collab with the person who got him into bass music in the first place: Bassnectar. Bassnectar will be headlining the show alongside Pretty Lights, Thievery Corporation, and The Glitch Mob.
Check out the rest of the line-up here because the few artists I’ve mentioned hardly covers it.
Excision’s album dropped this month, and it’s as sick as you would expect. “X-Rated” affirms Excision’s range of expertise, unveiling his ability to make bouncy electro house tracks as opposed to dubstep and drum & bass.
The first electro house track on the album, “Ohhh Nooo,” is a “heaving 4×4 machination that sets the bassline glitches against a propulsive drum line.” Meanwhile, “Swerve,” featuring Downlink, boasts “a chugging bassline” that “jut[s] through the core of the track.”

(SAN FRANCISCO, USA)You are tried and tested warriors of the night.
Packed into the steaming corridors of 525 Harrison Street , otherwise known as ‘The Factory’, masses of party monsters rioted & raved till the early morning. The line crept around the venue as thousands journeyed to take part in arguably the largest and most anticipated Dubstep massive in San Francisco’s history, WOBBLELAND. Performances from industry heavyweights Nero, Skrillex, Datsik, 12th Planet, Jakwob, and Kastle shook enthralled recipients from head to toe. Participants can thank VITAL SC for releasing a filthy, neon Armageddon upon an ecstatic, hot & sweaty audience.
Enough flashbacks, for everyone who bore testament to the following moments at Wobbleland, close your eyes and listen. For everyone else, close your eyes and drool.
