Insomniac is hosting a shit ton of mid-size concerts in Hollywood through the end of the year, including Cosmic Gate, Axwell, Boys Noize, Porter Robinson, Sebastian Ingrosso & Alesso, Borgore, and Nero, but the greatest one of them will be Loco Dice & Victor Calderone at the Music Box on December 17th, due to the excruciating perfection and straight forwardness of their dirty ass minimal and tech-house beats.

This remix by Loco Dice came out in July and it’s definitely one you would want to hear live. Skip to 2:00 where it starts getting funky. Or perhaps if you’re a true fan, you’ll just wait it out….

Also check out the Victor Calderone and Mike Frade remix of “Break It.” It’s got a super hard, jacked-up beat surrounded by some beautiful vocal samples both in the foreground and in the background.

You can visit the official event page and/or ticket link to move forward towards the possibility of joining me at this dope event.

I recently had the huge honor of opening up the main stage at Insomniac’s Audiotistic Festival this July. It was a ridiculous experience and really just made me want to get back on a sound system that fat as soon as humanly possible. To commemorate the occasion, I am releasing my “Audiotistic 2011 Mix” for you to bump in your car, on the bus, or at a calm luncheon or dinner party.

Grinding fidget madness with traces of jackin’, tech and disco.
