ON THE FLOOR The biggest, the boldest, the best of September 2013… 3 4 5
MAD DECENT BLOCK PARTY TEXAS, WHITEWATER MUSIC AMPHITHEATER, NEW BRAUNFELLS, 11860 FM 306, TX
SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 7 MAJOR LAZER, DILLON FRANCIS, BAAUER, FLOSSTRADAMUS, BIG GIGANTIC, 3BALL, THE PARTYSQUAD & MORE
THE INFAMOUS MAD DECENTBlock Party has been on the road all summer, taking Major Lazer and crew to more cities throughout the States than ever before. We’ve picked the Texas show to highlight because, well, the State ain’t exactly over-run with events like this, it’s an all ages show, and the line-up is a total killer. Top of the bill sit Major Lazer. Diplo and Walshy Fire’s high energy EDM bashment is sure to delight the Mad Decent faithful as much as ever. But the names beneath Major Lazer are no filler. Big Gigantic come with a live show that mixes jazz, hip-hop and heavy bass, Dillon Francis brings his face smacking, bleep heavy moombahton madness, Baauer comes to prove that there’s more to his trap bangers than Harlem shaking, Flosstradamus goes deeper and harder with epic journeys through trap, hip-hop and dubstep, and Dutch wildcards The Partysquad are worth catching early on for their cut-ups of electro house, ragga vocals, and hands in the air drops. No doubt the kids will be out in full fluoro sporting force, and if you’re over the age of 22 this is an event where you’re gonna feel the old, cold touch of your own mortality. Still, for fresh faced, cynicism free newbies that lust after bigger drops and more bass, this is gonna be the party of the summer.

FAR AWAY #007, PRIVATE LOCATION, LOS ANGELES, CA
FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 27 WAZE & ODYSSEY, FANTASTIC MAN, STEVE HUERTA, COOPER SAVER
RADIO OWNERS AND RISINGpromoters Far Away have scored two LA debuts for their 7th show – enigmatic house stars Waze & Odyssey and Melbourne’s much feted Mic Newman, better known as Fantastic Man.
Waze & Odyssey have been riding the deep house boom with their shuffling, sexy production, with nods to both UK 2-step and low slung dub bass influencing their slow burning floor fillers. Their remix of R Kelly’s ‘Bump N Grind’ managed to transmute a tiresomely ubiquitous slow jam classic into a brand new house bomb, and their solo productions have been fired out on labels from Wolf Music to Southern Fried.
Fantastic Man, meanwhile, has been touring the world and topping the Juno charts with his warm, soft focus and occasionally quirky take on house. His tracks are pure feel good gold, laced with nostalgia for an imagined golden age. As ever the party is only open to those on Far Away’s mailing list, which can be easily joined over on their website (see address below). They’ll be releasing the location and final details on the day of the event, so you can guarantee a clued up party crowd with zero part-timers…
UNICORN MEAT NYC & BROOKLYN LAMB, SECRET WAREHOUSE LOCATION, BROOKLYN, NY
SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 28 SOUL CLAP, WOLF + LAMB
UNICORN MEAT NYChave launched a new sub promotion division planning to – in their words – “begin our mission to turn every last square inch of former industrial space into the dream luxury condominium every Craigslist connoisseur craves.”
Coming with a tongue-in-cheek manifesto that celebrates the gentrification of New York’s less salubrious quarters, “old garages become hipster hangouts, former rocket factories can be post- grad dorm rooms, and a former sewage treatment plant becomes a raver walkabout”, the only thing the group are offering that’s serious is a mouth watering warehouse event featuring both Soul Clap and Wolf + Lamb.
In the past Unicorn Meat have been known for cramming their events with large scale art installations, and you can assume that this party will feature more of the same, alongside various eulogies, ironic or otherwise, to the new hipster yuppies of Brooklyn. They’re keeping shady on the details, but check their Facebook for updates.
