Mysteryland USA unveils aftermovie for inaugural event
Already buzzed about as one of the most refreshing festivals of the summer, Mysteryland's US expansion caught the attention of thousands when it descended on Bethel Woods, placing itself in history as the first festival since the legendary Woodstock. Hailed as an example of what dance music festival's should strive to be, Mysteryland created a community instead of a crowd, shirking neon tutus and nipple pasties for fans united for one common purpose - to dance and experience.
Mysteryland’s festival within a festival; Sunday School artists you can’t miss
While EDM will be given its fair shake throughout Mysteryland's US debut, the festival within a festival, Sunday School, looks to be the bohemian retreat for many of those interested in dancing without any neon distractions. The tech and house driven refuge has outgrown its single stage version found at Electric Zoo and instead occupies 3 full stages, The Big Top, the mirror-covered Spiegeltent and a special Vinyl Only arena. Over the course of two days, forty of the most cutting edge talents in tech house, deep house and techno will provide the soundtrack for the more seasoned dance music fans. From Detroit's Visionquest crew, to Pan Pot, Carl Craig, Joris Voorn and Ovum's 20-year anniversary, there is no shortage of eclectic underground talents in this lineup.
Experience Visionquest at Mysteryland for the only 2014 performance involving all 4 members
Visionquest are Seth Troxler, Ryan Crosson, Shaun Reeves and Lee Curtiss - the most innovative and exciting new breed of musicians to emerge from Detroit in a generation. Together they make up a four-piece DJing and production outfit at the head of the much-lauded Visionquest record label, the epicenter of a collective of musical free thinkers and techno mavens who's only pursuit is to push the envelope and evolution of dance music forward.
Start planning your Mysteryland US weekend, set times officially announced
Mysteryland's stateside debut is less than a week away and the art and music crossover festival has just announced its official set times. Not limited to just stages and DJs, the Mysteryland schedule includes a variety of art exhibitions, a food-based street fair and much much more. Nicky Romero's Protocol Reboot NY kicks things off on Friday and from there the experience doesn't slow down, pairing abstract artwork with mainstream electronic music. While the most rewarding way to experience the festival is going to be to wander and stumble upon new and wild experiences, the official schedule should help make things a bit easier for the itinerary focused festival-goers in the crowd.
Showtek unveil exclusive Mysteryland US Mix ahead of inaugural festival
In anticipation of their upcoming Main Stage performance at Mysteryland's US debut, the Janssen brothers curate an exclusive mix ahead of the forthcoming Memorial Day madness set to take place at the home of the original Woodstock. An hour's worth of festival-friendly drops and the hardstyle meets electro style that put Showtek at the top of the big room heap, this exclusive mix serves as the perfect warm up to a weekend spent at Bethel Woods. The original Woodstock may have had wailing guitars, but it's going to be EDM's descension on the small town in Upstate New York that leaves a lasting impact for future generations to follow.
