I Love This City – Venue Update and SD Lineup Additions (and Military Ticket Giveaway)

Overwhelming response to the San Francisco leg of I Love This City has forced a venue change from AT&T Park to the Shoreline Ampitheatre.  As a result, the hours for the event have been extended, leading to more bang for your buck if you have already purchased a ticket.  For those that were prepared to be at the AT&T Park location, the festival organizers have arranged for free charter bus service (a la the good old days, when folks would hit a location and then get bussed over to the party).

The San Francisco event has added Afrojack and Sebastian Ingrosso to their lineup on Friday, May 25th.  The San Diego event can call Wolfgang Gartner, Madeon, and Adrian Lux as additions to their event on Sunday.

Moreover, those partygoers in the SD region that serve in any of the US Military …

Raves Don’t Kill Dolphins, RAVERS Kill Dolphins

Tags: , ,

As the rave scene continues it’s perpetual cycle of positive and negative perception, this one definitely falls into the negs category. Last fall we reported that a dolphin named Shadow died two days after a rave event was held at the water park in Switzerland where Shadow was a — ahem — resident. At the time, it was speculated that hours of repetitive bass-heavy music might have lead to Shadow’s demise since dolphins have extremely sensitive hearing. Six months later, a toxicology report has revealed that a “heroin substitute” was found in the animal’s urine following his death. It’s pretty obvious to assume that Shadow scored his stuff from one of the human parties in attendance. [MSN]

Unknown Artist – ‘Rave’: Possibly New Shed

We’ve unearthed a gem being housed exclusively on Hardwax which has grabbed our attention. By an unknown artist and vaguely titled Rave, the legendary record store describes the 12″ as an “obscure techno bomb.” Besides the previews, that’s literally all the information we have about it. We’ve got our fingers crossed that this may be another alias of Rene Pawlowitz aka Shed, as this isn’t the first time Hardwax has exclusively housed many EQD/Wax records in the past. Hear the previews of this Obscure Techno Bomb over at Hardwax and let us know what you think!

Waterpark Rave Kills Dolphin

An eight-year-old dolphin named Shadow mysteriously died after being exposed to two days of techno music at a waterpark in Switzerland. The park was the venue for a weekend-long dance event, which exposed the highly sensitive marine mammals to nearly 48 hours of repetitive beats. Several days later, Shadow became agitated and died. While there is no way to prove a direct correlation between the two events, animal activists had warned park management that the noise from the event could cause undo stress on the dolphins who call the park home.

“We have reasonable evidence to suggest that the extreme noise levels from the two day techno party severely affected the immune system of the dolphins,” said Jürgen Ortmüller from the Whale and Dolphin Protection Society. “Dolphins are very sensitive creatures.  We warned against a techno party taking place …

NEW Orbital :: “Never” (Video)

It’s been seven years since the brothers Hartnol gave us new music as Orbital. Now the legendary UK rave headliners are back with a new album due out next year. As a teaser, they’ve given us the video for a new song, “Never.” The clip features nighttime drive through what we assume is the duo’s home base in London. More importantly, “Never” features the melodic blips and bleeps we’ve always loved from these electronic music pioneers.
