House music has been getting ravers movin’ and groovin’ from way back in the late 80’s/early 90’s, and the bootz n’ catz beat hasn’t stopped shuffling people’s feet ever since. While the genre has long been associated with parties, clubs, and raves, dancing isn’t the only way to move your body along with the house. House music is actually one of the best type of tunes to accompany you during a work out! Read more
This coming Halloween weekend Minimal Effort is relocating into their newly minted venue, ENOX Event Center, taking LA into a devilish night of quality tech and house music with some of the undergroundâs most iconic talent.
Keeping in mind All Hallowâs Eveâs musical programming vision and Minimal Effortâs forward-thinking standard, the Phase 2 additions include the infamously secretive Claptone, All Day I Dream label boss Lee Burridge, and one of the most exciting acts to rise up from the underground in recent years in Eagles & Butterflies.
Furthermore, All Hallowâs Eve will see the Los Angeles debut of Claptoneâs world-renowned The Masquerade. The dedicated stage will feature the signature production and staging that has made it one of the most sought after events on the international circuit.
Los Angeles’ Minimal Effort returns this upcoming Halloween weekend with a brand new look, brand new location and solid Phase 1 announcement.
Taking place on October 28th at the ENOX Events Center on the outskirts of Downtown Los Angeles, Minimal Effort: All Hallow’s Eve will feature two stages â one outdoor and one indoor â playing homage to both the city’s warm temperatures and its thriving warehouse scene. The venue is in-and-of-itself an incredible find, able to comfortably host thousands of attendees in a hybrid space that encapsulate both the industrial vibe of Los Angeles and the characteristic outdoor partying that occurs in the city all year around.
The day-into-night party will feature a yet-to-be announced branded stage, as well as a selection of powerful track-selectors hand-picked for the occasion. Diversity is the name of the game here, with house, tech house, deep house, g-house and more to be showcased. At the top of Phase 1 we find house legend MK (Marc Kinchen), joined by Crosstown Rebels head-honcho Damian Lazarus and UK house duo Dusky. Next up on the lineup is the eclectic Brodinski, who will bring his signature Atlanta-meet-Paris house sound to LA for the occasion, Do Not Sit On The Furniture founder BEHROUZ, G-House French duo Amine Edge & DANCE and LA’s very own Human Resources.  Phase 2 will be announced on September 25th.
Taking place in the warm and sunny San Diego on March 3rd and 4th, CRSSD Festival has steered away from the mainstream line-ups and major headliners that are most prevalent in the world of electronic music, especially in America. Although headliners like Duke Dumont and Flume can still be heard on the radio, majority of the artists on this eclectic and diverse line-up prefer intimate settings and unanticipated sets.
For the last couple of years, CRSSD Festival has taken to Waterfront Park on the North San Diego Bay for a mix of house and techno twice a year. The mature crowd welcomes the quality talent from all over the world looking to discover new and innovative artists that they may of not been previously familiar with.
Although many of the artists on this line-up are quite familiar names in the world of house and techno, some might not be so familiar. Weâve put together 5 must-see acts from this year’s lineup that you may or may have never heard of. Since weâre always looking to discover new artists, feel free to voice your opinion on who you are looking forward to seeing at CRSSD Festival this Spring!
