EXCISION ONCE AGAIN OPENS UP POLLS TO FANS ON WHO HE SHOULD BOOK FOR HIS 2019 FESTIVALS

It’s hard to argue that Excision isn’t one of the most engaged artists when he’s doing stuff like this. Each year, the bass king opens up a poll to fans to vote on lineups for his annual festivals. Lost Lands began in 2017 and Bass Canyon had its inaugural year in 2018, but for the first time, both festivals are out of their trial phase in 2019. And with expectations so high, why not let the fans help out a little?

Scrolling through the artist poll is like looking at a roster of pretty much every major bass act – and some curveballs – that has ever been. Everyone from legends Chase & Status, Sub Focus and Emalkay to newcomers Lord Swan3x, 1788-L, and TenGraphs is included in the poll.

With so many to choose from, and more imposingly, no limit on how many you can choose, this poll is a bass head’s wet dream.

STEVE AOKI TEAMS UP WITH POSTMATES TO DELIVER FREE FOOD TO THE HOMELESS IN LOS ANGELES

Steve Aoki has had quite the year in 2018. Not only did the cake throwing aficionado help bridge the world of EDM and Rap with his LP, Kolony, Steve also helped bring K-Pop into the dance music realm with his work alongside BTS. Now, Steve Aoki also did some interesting things outside the realm of dance music this year. Like creating a pizza franchise, Pizzaoki.

Now as random as that might be, Steve is still working to do as much good as possible. This holiday season, Steve decided to challenge Postmate’s tagline, “better than Santa”, when he tweeted out a little test. In short, he said if Postmates really was all that and more, they would help him deliver pizza to the homeless population in LA.

Postmates took up the task, and sure enough, Steve Aoki and Postmates brightened up some people’s days who were down on their luck. Isn’t this what the holiday season is all about? Check out the thread below.

KNIFE PARTY & PEGBOARD NERDS HAVE AN UPCOMING COLLAB THAT IS ELECTRO HOUSE HEAVEN

Knife Party is building up some serious momentum in front of a major drop of new music that we are guessing will be dropping in early 2019. After debuting several new original tunes on their new podcast series, Knifecast, the guys are steadily teasing new music. Their latest unreleased track comes courtesy of Pegboard Nerds, who are also collaborators on the track.

The unreleased tune is known as ‘Jack’ and is everything we love about both Knife Party and the Nerds. ‘Jack’ is a reckless and powerful electro-house tune that will immediately remind listeners of the golden age of electro, the early 2010s. We cannot wait until this one gets an official release and we hope that is soon as this one will undoubtedly leave fans stunned all winter long.

Check it out below, and do so quickly as we can’t promise this one will stay up forever, as Knife Party is seriously savage when it comes to pulling down any fan grabbed tracks.
