ARTIST PROFILE: ASTRONAUT

April 16, 2015 /

We are very lucky to have Astronaut landing on Electric Love’s festival stage this coming August long!

This dynamic EDM duo from Bristol, UK, comprised of Ross “Rossy” Burr and Dan Goudie has received massive support from UKF and several other UK music blogs since 2012 and has continued to break airwaves across North America. Over the last couple years, the duo has departed from their traditional house sound, embarking on a more “Justice-influenced, stripped back and basic” essence, as Ross shares during the duo’s UKF Radar interview (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfsMXyFRh8I).

Astronaut’s debut release on Monstercat Records back in December 2013 was a re-release of their hit song, “Apollo.” The song has since been featured on a remix EP released by Monstercat and Disciple Recordings entitled Destination: Apollo. In addition to their own updated remix of “Apollo,” Destination: Apollo contains remixes by such heavy-hitters as Barely Alive, The Brig, SLDGHMR, and DKS.

Setting themselves apart from other EDM artists this side of the galaxy, Astronaut incorporates powerful visual elements into their music videos to tell a continuing tale. The music videos for “Apollo,” “Quantum,” and “Champions” string together to form an animated sci-fi story following the duo’s featured protagonist, Apollo, who had been separated from his race of people and subsequently sent on a quest to relocate his mothership. In this way, Astronaut has not only launched a musical project for fans to enjoy but also a visual narrative for audiences to discover and explore.

The Rivals (Barely Alive & Astronaut) EP is the pair’s most recent release this year. This hot new Dubstep/Electro House/Glitch Hop EP—including songs, “Rivals,” “Bad Fellas,” “Raga,” and “Some Kind of Monster”—has been charting for the past week at number one on Beatport’s Top Ten Releases.

ARTIST PROFILE: SWOLLEN MEMBERS

April 15, 2015 /

The Canadian hip-hop group from Vancouver - consisting of artists Mad Child, Prevail, and producer Rob The Viking - is prominently known for putting their city on the map as well as its underground style. Since the group formed in 1992, the Swollen Members sound has swept through Canada and gained the following of fans all over the globe.

With noted albums such as Bad Dreams, Black Magic, and Armed To the Teeth, Swollen Members has perfected the gritty, street-style rap and has taken it to a whole new level. What started out as an album has quickly become its own genre listened to by tons of dedicated fans waiting for Swollen Members to come perform live in their city.

After years of building up a following, the group realized that their fans were a dedicated family fully supporting the “Battle-Axe movement” and with this, Swollen Members was able to create the “Battle-Axe Warriors," a clan of loving Swollen supporters all around the world. This type of extended family that they have created brings the music community closer together and is one of the only of its kind.

The legendary group continues to impact the Canadian hip-hop scene and always will. The powerful movement they have created has built up a high demand to see them perform live, and their global tours are consistently anticipated. Swollen Members has always showed love to the fans, and we are happy to announce that they will be joining us for the Electric Love Music Festival in Chilliwack, BC on August 1st!

ARTIST PROFILE: PEGBOARD NERDS

April 11, 2015 /

The Electric Love Music Festival is proud to be announcing the Pegboard Nerds as part of its stacked lineup of acts…

Since the group formed in 2005, Pegboard Nerds has been on an unstoppable trajectory of international fame and acclaim from peers and industry mainstays with their mind-blowing, genre-bending EDM. For the past 10 years, the duo has been creating ground-breaking music from a vast array of genres, including Dubstep, Reggae/Trap, Drumstep, Electro House, and Glitch Hop/110.

Today, this high-energy Danish/Norwegian duo—consisting of Alexander Odden and Michael Parsberg—is arguably the most popular music group on the independent Canadian record label, Monstercat. Since starting with the label back in 2011, Pegboard Nerds has accumulated millions of plays on their string of singles, including “This Is Not the End,” “High Roller,” “Bassline Kickin,” and their more recent hits, “Bring The Madness (ft. Excision)” and “BADBOI.”

From collaborating and remixing the likes of Krewella to Infected Mushroom, to being hand selected by Knife Party as show support, Pegboard Nerds’ ticket to international acclaim has been stamped. Taking listeners to new heights with their rollercoaster rides of sound and electrifying audiences from all over the world, Pegboard Nerds has undoubtedly established themselves as one of the hottest names in the EDM game.

In just the past year, Pegboard Nerds have led a conquest over the worldwide festival circuit, with explosive sets at the UK’s Global Gathering, Creamfields, Leeds Festival and Reading Festival, Canada’s SummersEND, Paradiso and SMF in the US. The massive buzz that follows each of their performances has afforded them invitations to everywhere on the map imaginable, from Ibiza fixture Amnesia to the Moscow Arena, right back to the top clubs across the US—no one and nowhere is safe from the Nerds.
