In The Trenches: Figure & Stratus @ Bottom Lounge + Upgrade (Figure Remix) – Deltron 3030 [Free DL]
If you were asked to recall any show or festival showcasing an artist(s) in the electronic music genre, we’re sure there’d be certain moments that standout above the rest. These experiences surpass others and truly make the event an unforgettable occasion. Thinking back on what I’ve witnessed in the trenches this year, a list of...

NERVO @ Spring Awakening Music Fest [Electronic Spotlight Interview]
A few weeks ago, we dropped a trailer featuring the two very lovely ladies (and twin sisters) that make up one of the freshest DJ duo’s/songwriters in the industry today. NERVO played for a packed crowd at this years Spring Awakening Music Fest and the ladies sat down with Electronic Spotlight to talk about topics...

Goin’ In (Skrillex Goin’ Hard Mix) + Bonus – Birdy Nam Nam [FREE DL]
I am going to keep this semi short and very sweet due to me not having to say a greatly deal to hype this track up since it involves a certain music sensation adding another genre to his ever growing list of dabbles outside the realms of dubstep. Skrillex played this track in the pouring...
Kick Out The Epic Motherfu*ker (Datsik Remix) – Dada Life
Sorry folks for the lack of post’s lately on my behalf, but business is picking up immensely with the summer festival/show season in mid gear now and a recent move from our beloved HQ in Chicago. Datsik visited the Windy City a few weeks ago and put down THE performance of the entire SAMF in our eyes....
Laidback Luke & Diplo SAMF Afterparty (The Lost REVIEW)
After a remorseless Day 2 of Spring Awakening witnessing some of the best sets to date in personal concert history–Nervo, Datsik, and Afrojack just to name a few–we were almost wiped out from the sweaty insanity. Nevertheless, limping out of the hotel after quick showers and recovery shots of whiskey, we set out to the...

Within our Day 2 recap of what took place at Spring Awakening Music Fest, we shared with you that our homies over at Electronic Spotlight interviewed the lovely ladies of Nervo and took them on a tour of Chicago before their set. Here is a teaser of what went down and we will have the...
In The Trenches: Spring Awakening Day 2 REVIEW
Saturday night ended in a bit of chaos and confusion as Skrillex thunderous bass levels brought on a flash rain storm that had everyone running for cover within the walls of Soldier Field. Our group of about 20 fled in different directions and it took us nearly 45 mins of walking in the wrong direction...
In The Trenches: Spring Awakening Day 1 REVIEW
“Without music, life would be a mistake” is a quote that the famous German philosopher Fredrich N. once said and is something I could easily apply to all the events that took place this past weekend at Spring Awakening Music Fest. For the last three months, The Dankles put in an extended amount of time, energy, and sleepless...
Play Hard + SAMF Set – Krewella
To talk about this weekend right now would be doing the story The Dankles has to tell a massive injustice and let us tell you……..we could win every fest story telling contest in the book with all that took place on our end over the past four days. Seconds before my eyes closed to go...

Fuck Off [Preview] – Knife Party & Steve Aoki
Looking at the list of scheduled events taking place in Chicago this weekend feels extra rough after going out till the wee hours of the morning last night. But the combination of gorgeous weather, day drinking, obtaining a booth at Big Star, and the arrival of S.F.C. from FL was all it took for everyone to put on...
Interview with Manic Focus + Free DL
In order to fully grasp the rate at which Manic Focus, aka John “JmaC” McCarten, is tearing up the EDM scene in Chicago, I’ll have to start from the very day I discovered who this laidback Minneapolis producer even was. About 5 months ago, I was looming through the list of openers for a show...

I Don’t Like (Willy Joy Bootleg) [Preview] – Chief Keef
It’s Tuesday morning, the sky is igniting with color, and I’ve yet to fall asleep at a reasonable hour again. Saying that this isn’t a reoccurring event would be a flat out lie, but with Spring Awakening right around the corner sacrifices must be made to finish a mountain of work that needs to be done. Right around 1...
