“The massive music performance monsters at Insomniac have big plans for their big bad west coast super rave this year. They will test a new battle ground for a beloved festival and Our House Records wants you there.” – joseph
The boys from OHR, the SF based electro promotion company & record label, sadly can not attend the electronic festivities this year. They will be sorely missed. Lucky for you, however, they are feeling the love. OHR have announced they will send one winner a three day festival pass to the Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas! At a dollar value of close to $200 this is a rare opportunity to win some epic free loot. Big ups Our House Records, very well done.

(SAN FRANCISCO, USA) March 10th, one of nightlife’s most respected forces beckons you to join in the ruckus for 15,000 square feet of big room boom. After selling out SF ultra club Ruby Skye for the unleashing of Swedish mega duo, DADA LIFE, the monsters at TORQ SF once again commissioned 420 Mason Street to let loose Australia’s premiere live electro show, VANDALISM.
February saw the drop of Schenk’s latest release, a 4 track EP entitled “OK” featuring his very tasty original, and three remixes to accompany the release. The original mix of Ok! is a fine example of what you can expect from a Schenk track, stripped back jackin’ funk with crisp clean mixing and production. Like all music, house can fall into so many different sub genres and one thing we look for in our signings (Bone Idle Records) is something a little different. You won’t find a saw or wobble bass here, but what you will find is a floor shaking sub and kick which keeps the track ebbing and flowing throughout. Expect funky fidgety synth/guitar/vocal stabs and breakdowns with a very creative alternative to a white noise build. Don’t sleep on the remixes either, Carbon Parlour, Bassion & Shyne, and 6T9 all put their respective twists on the track, rounding out the release with a bit of electro and some alternative housed up interpretations.
And you can pick up some free downloads accompanying the release from Riggers and Dala (visit the Soundcloud for a download):
And up next, we have a totally free EP with three tasty tracks for your listening pleasure. Schenk truly exhibits his maturing style here, giving us that signature pop in his work, while not overpowering these smooth tech-house grooves. He walks the line between softened synths and the choppiness of Chicago house to deliver a toned down jacking sound. I feel like some of these tracks are just what I need in my earlier/opening sets — tech with some bark, no bite!
I will keep this short; I am new here and learning how to run this.

Yes, there is a period in between the two words, placed there primarily for irony. I am a grammar pirate, always sticking to a loose code of right and wrong, making sh*t up wherever I see fit. My interests are the noises that thunder after dark.
I just wanted to say hello. We are going to be the best of friends.
I was recently informed of something that could very well effect the rave-culture of California, and potentially start a domino effect of action taken across the world. I would like to see massive events such as E.D.C. and the Hard Events to continue, so please take some time to read the following:

Oppose the New Rave Act (AB74)
Assemblywoman Fiona Ma proposed legislation yesterday to ban large electronic music events in California. In her own words “The introduction of AB 74 is the first step toward eliminating these dangerous events”. Read the full text of the proposed legislation at the end of this email.
Fiona Ma’s legislation is just one part of a larger agenda by the police and policy makers to shut down electronic music events in California. Our music and culture is being discriminated against and if we don’t stand up and fight, they will succeed.
Save The Rave is a group of electronic music supporters who are organizing to fight this and other anti-electronic music policy through lobbying, protests, media and whatever else is necessary.
Join our Facebook group so that we can communicate and work with you! We will need your help to fight back against these policies and show the State of California that we will NOT tolerate being discriminated against!
Please take some time to join these groups so that we can stop this nonsense! (And please kids, let’s do our best not to get absurd at these events. Hard Halloween ’09 was a horribly organized event, but that didn’t mean everyone needed to start acting like morons and jumping off the balcony into the main stage).
Sketch Records, a personal favorite, hits the double digits with this release. So big round of applause to them London boys for doin’ such big thangs. Geoff K & 3D Criminalz on remix duty? Mmm..
This is a monster of a release, showcasing a genre-crossing medley of tunage from Scott Harris, 3D Criminalz, Geoff K & Tone Idle. Click clack on the beatport link and get ta’ buyin!
