Bassnectar closes out Sahara Tent with style on first night of Coachella
There's a sort of magic evoked when Bassnectar steps up behind the decks. With his bristling, Dumbledore-like hairstyle, bony limps, and spiritually-infused voice, one could easily mistake Lorin Ashton for a new age shaman.

The history of Coachella Music Festival: From rocky starts to record-setting sales
If you've ever attended Coachella Arts and Music Festival, you need to thank Eddie Vedder. In 1993, Pearl Jam threw a concert that would inadvertently spark the birth for Coachella Arts and Music Festival.

R3hab & David Solano – Do It (Life In Color Anthem 2013)
Between remix duties for Tiësto and David Guetta and a momentous run at WMC, Dutch chainsaw master R3hab has served all the right shots for 2013 so far. Armed with an official anthem spot for global paint party concept Life In Color, the newly crowned Hakkasan resident unites with paint party resident David Solano for “Do It.” Their first collaborative stint, which gained considerable traction at UMF last month, matches gritty festival fundamentals with a distinctly melodic sound scope of uplifting synth work throughout. In yet another perfect balance between upfront electro house and universal club fuel, "Do It" serves a blow that is sure to serve Spinnin Records and these international trailblazers alike considerably throughout the year.
