Tomorrow CYV is lucky enough to host the godfather of digital DJin and the controllerism movement – Ean Golden – at our San Francisco monthly – Bangers & MASH. We’ve been working on this event for quite some time and its gonna be HUUGE !!

Ean’s accomplishments in the DJ industry are world renowned. He introduced the midi-fighter controller in 2009 with industry leading build quality and a ground-breaking mapping. Propelled by Ean’s mind-blowing live perfromances Midi-Fighter was an instant success. He followed up in 2010 with the Novation Dicer which is now the industry standard for digital vinyl djs. One year later Ean worked closely with Native Insturments to bring us a product that literally reinvented digital DJing. Traktor S4 is to digital DJin what the iPhone was to cellphones, hands down the most revolutionary thing to hit the DJ world in the past decade. Traktor S4 has gone on to be the number one selling all-in-one controller in a category it invented. Ean continues to bring us revolutionary product developments through his own djtechtools.com including revamped Midi-Fighter controllers, custom high visibility knobs, and a curated selection of dj accessories – only the best of the best.

His live performance uses a palette of custom controllers: various bass heavy genres are effortlessly blended together into a show that merges art and technology in a meaningful way. Part rock show, part controllerism performance and part dj journey, Ean really puts everything on line at every performance taking it far beyond a traditional dj.

So this year, A+ and I (Furan) journeyed down to Coachella on behalf of the CYV™ team. We documented our entire weekend with photos and videos and ultimately had one of the most epic Coachella experiences of our lives! So many amazing artists came down to perform, and the way the event was organized even seemed to be better than last year.

Oh Coachella! How you are so much fun!

More Coachella highlights and videos after the jump:

And every year you seem to get better!

Car camping is awesome. The Do Lab is awesome. Afterparties are awesome. Just merely having that weekend become a part of your life is awesome! It’ll make you want to go back every year!

We took 12GB of videos on my flip over the 4 days that I’ve cut down to just show highlights.

Included are: Proxy, Wolfgang Gartner, Erol Alkan, Benny Benassi, deadmau5, Bassnectar, Major Lazer, Fly Lo, Die Antwoord, 2ManyDJ’s, Rusko, Club 75, Plastikman, & More..

Coachella’s Most Played Track:
At the pre-party, at the after parties, blasting out of cars, playing out on cell phones — even Major Lazer and Club 75 dropped it!

Doctor P – Sweet Shop

One of the best things this year was the afterparties! You’d get back to your camp site after one crackin’ party to find yourself stepping into yet another!

Thursday was especially banger because everyone was SO ready to party when they got there.

Take this for example:

Serious drinking and pre-partying just getting into the campsite! Straight madness about to occur!

Thursday night:
(which ended with this super banger video!)

Another amazing part of the weekend is basically the main thing keeping you from heatstroke during the day — water.
This year they had these awesome water jets that you can control with a doorbell buzzer…I saw this kid ruin some girl’s day by blasting her square in the face! Pawned! Even though the DJ’s here aren’t superstars, they DO make for a good time.

Overall, super banger weekend. Not something that should be missed!
