Watch This: Bingo Players adrenaline packed EDC Vegas recap
Capturing the energy of Electric Daisy Carnival Las Vegas with only a video camera is hard to do. The energy of the festival grounds as they buzz and breathe with a palpable excitement never translates well to celluloid. This year Bingo Players took Las Vegas by storm, dispatching one of the most frantic sets of the weekend and leaving a stomped out crater in their wake. As fast-paced and unrelenting as the music they make, Bingo Players EDC Las Vegas recap -- defined by fast cuts and faster kicks -- does well to embody the peak of the EDC experience.
Dirty South – Until The End (Tom Staar Remix) [Preview]
Only shortly after Pete Tong showcased Dirty South's latest single "Until The End" on Radio 1, Tom Staar is sharing a preview of his own version of the song off Dragan's album. The London-based producer takes the original's emotional top line and appropriately converts it into a bouncy club track with more focus on moving the crowd's feet than tugging at their heart strings. Although the preview clocks in under three minutes, it's enough of a taste to get excited for Staar's work and the impending complete remix package.
