URB’s Top Picks for Electric Zoo 2011



Made Event’s monster festival on roids, Electric Zoo is back with an extra day and a massive lineup. While last year’s event was fantastic, this year’s lineup looks to overtake the previous incarnation by pouring out a ton of proper acts; sure there will be “stars” like Tiësto, David Guetta and Armin van Buuren, but there will also be our favorites on other, smaller stages. No, they’re not on the Billboard charts or playing stadium tours, but we love them and think they’re DAMN GOOD. With that said, here’s our recommendations on who to check out at the festival.

But even with a reasonable sized line-up (about 60 acts over three days) and modest attendance (around 15K), you still might need some help planning your days at Bisco. For that, we offer five selections you couldn’t bribe us to miss this weekend. …MORE

Mutek 2011 #Wins & #Fails

It’s interesting that Montreal’s Mutek festival first took place one week after the first Detroit Electronic Music Festival in 2000. And for a dozen years, these two sister events have dominated the North American electronic music calendar, with loyal techno tourists traveling from one to the next in an annual pilgrimage down the 401 (the Route 66 of Canada). We already called out our faves from Detroit last week—so consider this part two of an epic techno saga. Next stop? Across the ocean to Sonar. …MORE
