Good Morning Mix: Amtrac’s HARD Day of the Dead Mixtape
On November 2nd and 3rd, HARD Day of the Dead will invade LA's Historic Park with 60 artists in tow, one of whom, Kentucky's Amtrac, has quickly risen to prominence since joining up with the OWSLA family earlier this year. On the 4th edition of the Day of the Dead mixtape series, Amtrac sticks to his signature style and delivers a deep and echo-driven hour of heady electronica. Opening with Leon Vynehall's remix of Kevin Griffiths' "Acid Splash," the mix blends house and techno underneath a hazy cloud of pads and filter cuts. Outputs from Brodinski, Armand Van Helden, YACHT, Breach, Shadow Child and more all make appearances before the tripped-out hour is through.
HARD Day of the Dead releases official trailer
HARD Events has just released its official trailer for this year's Day of the Dead in Los Angeles, but this trailer is no typical sing-songy festival preview. Gary Richards and his team have instead landed on a film noir spoof where Gaslamp Killer is mass murdering the lineup out of spite. It's cheeky, it's got a handful of cameos from Skrillex, Beni from Jack Beats, Giorgio Moroder, and of course "The Killer" himself. Single day and two day passes are still available at http://www.harddayofthedead.com/ for November 2 and November 3.
