Last weekend featured the 2nd annual Culture Collide festival, a 4-day event in Los Angeles presented by Filter Magazine. I went on Saturday and Sunday and it was a lot of fun. Multiple venues such as Echoplex, Taix, The Echo, ReFORM, and many more featured various acts from all over the world which were all very enjoyable to listen to. On Saturday I saw Classixx, DJ Harvey, and CSS perform and wow did they impress.
Classixx is an electronic duo from Los Angeles. They are absolute beasts and have a very bright future ahead of them. Their laid back and unique style make for great music live and in the headphones. The two remix a lot of great tracks adding in some of their original work creating great vibes with their beats as well as very upbeat and heaving dancing tracks. Check out two of my favorite of theirs below.
“Into the Valley” (featuring Karl Dixon) [Download]
DJ Harvey from Cambridge, England has been very influential with disco house all over the world for many years. This guy is a very old school electronic music man but in a good way. He loves playing super long sets and I was extremely impressed by his energy and great original tracks. He still continues to sell out shows in different continents and for good reason. His chill/laid back vibes with his energetic style equals a great electronic sound. Check out what I’m talking about below with a couple awesome tracks by him.
Locussolus (DJ Harvey) – “Little Boots”
Locussolus (DJ Harvey) – “I Want It”
CSS which is an abbreviation of Cansei de Ser Sexy is a rock band who comes from Sao Paulo, Brazil. They were the headliners of this show and absolutely killed their set. In a packed EchoPlex venue they lit it up with their energy and pizazz. The have a great alternative rock/pop sound with Brazilian flavor which is why it is no surprise that they have had much success in the United States as well as all over the world. My two favorite tracks by them are below.
“Lets Make Love and Listen to Death From Above” [Download]
Avicci remixes Coldplay’s “Every Teardrop is a Waterfall” and with style. This guy kills it as usual and seems to be everyone’s favorite DJ right now. You all already know about all of Avicii’s work so I don’t need to explain anymore. Just listen and enjoy!
I’ve been getting really into Sander Van Doorn recently. Though I have known about him for a little while now, his music has really caught my eye in the last few months with his energetic trance sound. He is coming out with his newest album on the 19th called Eleve11 and I couldn’t be more excited for it. Above is a preview of the album with a track called “Eagles” featuring Adrian Lux.
He has recorded 12 tracks in the past year and the album will only feature 11 of them. That being said, he has graciously decided to give us the 12th track for free. It is simply called “Track 12″ and it’s a good one. Enjoy below!
Enjoyed “Track 12″? If so, you will love another song of his off of Eleve11 that is sure to get you up and dancing. It’s called “Drink to Get Drunk” and is perfect for any party mix. After hearing both of these two track, I cannot wait for his new album to drop. Until Tuesday, enjoy these awesome tracks of his and be sure to rage to them.
Bart B More is a DJ/Producer from Netherlands who makes real good House and Techno music. He’s worked with some pretty huge acts in the DJ world but rather than drop names of people he’s worked with, here’s my three favorites from Bart B More.

Shouts to ThisSongIsSick for promoting James Egbert, a sick producer out of Denver. He deserves all the accolades he’s been getting throughout the blogosphere. His latest single “Isle of Capri” is a full-on electronic dance party and this dude has serious skills. He drops eargasmic sounds as he builds the track up to a huge crescendo…and BOOM. The drop is massive. ThisSongIsSick compares Mr. Egbert to Porter Robinson, which I think is a great comparison. There’s some house, whomps, and funky synth beats. He combines all of the subgenres of techno into a great, original style, and absolutely kills the track. There’s also a tropical vibe to the whole song, which is what I imagine I beach party in Ibiza sounds like.
Follow Mr. Egbert on Twitter, and if you’re in Colorado, get to Global Dance Fest this weekend a little early and watch this dude open up the main stage on Friday.
Amtrac continues to take up more and more of my party playlist with his latest single “Venice.” The track slowly builds before crescendoing 30 seconds into the song, leading immediately into a 3 minute funky dance party.
If you’re in Florida, make sure to catch Amtrac when he’s throwing down at one of the clubs on South Beach. If you’re somewhere else, follow him on Twitter and Facebook, and be sure this song is a part of your party jams.
