Bass house producer/DJ Blossom plays the Eternal Stage at 3:30pm on Saturday. She is no stranger to Insomniac, releasing her 2019 EP Strapped with Insomniac Music Group (IMG) imprint IN / ROTATION on her way to winning “The Best DJ in Phoenix 2019.” Now relocated to New York City and with releases on heavy-hitting labels like Deadbeats, UKF, and Night Bass, Blossom continues to make bass-forward dance music that resonates with fans worldwide.

Tape B Blasts Into 2024

Known for his unique dubstep and hip-hop production, Tape B is on track for a huge 2024. For good reason, he has become one of the most in-demand artists in the bass music scene. His Cartunes mixes have become fan favorites while building a solid repertoire of classic bass remixes and original tunes.

Need proof about the current hype surrounding Tape B? In New York City for the final stop of his Old School x New School Tour on Saturday, April 20, he sold out Kings Hall at Avant Gardner so quickly that his show was rebooked at the venue’s larger Great Hall, Brooklyn’s premier EDM club destination… and he sold that one out too! True to form, no tickets remain for his Beantown show at Middle East in Cambridge, MA tonight, April 19.

On theme, Tape B’s first two merch phases are also completely gone on his website. He’s sold two collections of hoodies, hats, shirts, and pashminas with a sporty basketball jersey too! Hopefully, Phase 3 gets released sooner rather than later, especially with all the shows and festivals Tape B has booked this year.

Tape B has some exciting plans once his tour ends. To start, he’ll be performing at the world-famous EDC Las Vegas. From there, he heads to the iconic Red Rocks to play in support of Subtronics at Cyclops Rocks. Then this summer he’s slated for festival appearances at Forbidden Kingdom in Orlando, FL; Breakaway in St. Paul, MN; Deep Tropics in Nashville, TN; and North Coast in Chicago, IL.

Now Jauz is back with new singles and his Wise vs. Wicked North American Tour this spring and summer.

On March 29, Jauz released his latest single “Teardrops” and he’s got another song prepared to drop next Friday, April 26 called “Chains.” The electro-pop feel of his upcoming release marks a new foray into pop dance music and is a significant step forward for his Bite This! label.

Looking ahead to his Wise vs. Wicked Tour, after spending last weekend in Philadephia Jauz sets his sights on the historic Webster Hall in New York City this April 20. Featuring a special Wise & Wicked show, Jauz will feature a blend of progressive-house sounds from Rise of the Wise and the drum-and-bass and dubstep-infused tracks from Wrath of the Wicked. Joining him for his stop in NYC are Berlin-based tech-house DJ/producer LOVRA and bass music duo Jkyl & Hyde, who just remixed Jauz’s single “Save U Now.”

Into The Sequence Lineup

Into The Sequence: Insomniac’s Newest Psytrance Event

Earlier this week Dreamstate, Insomniac’s home for all things trance, announced Into The Sequence, a new psytrance event taking place this summer. The psytrance stage at Dreamstate Festival is called The Sequence so this is right on brand. Into The Sequence will take over the National Orange Show in Southern California from 6 PM to 6 AM on June 29. As it is a one-day event, it will only use the Orange Pavilion building instead of the entire NOS footprint. 

Can you really have a psytrance event without having Vini Vici on the lineup? The duo will be there along with Ace Ventura, Astrix, Blazy, Ghost Rider, Ritmo, and trance legend Christopher Lawrence. Ace Ventura and Astrix will also perform as their combined project Alpha Portal. The only female-identifying artist on the lineup is the San Francisco-based producer Khromata. Based on the artwork alone, expect the stage design and decorations to be super trippy and psychedelic. 

Both GA and VIP Tickets for Into The Sequence go on sale Thursday, March 28th, at noon PT. Follow Dreamstate using the social media links below to be the first to know when more details are released.

LSR/CITY Wows Crowds

The audio visual experience of Gareth Emery’s alter ego LSR/CITY stunned last month at the Phoenix tour stop. Hosted at the Van Buren, the show crossed multiple genres with incredible lasers that wowed the crowd.

The show starts with a story of a girl many can relate to: sitting on her couch, watching life pass her by on social media, when a friend texts her to get ready, they’re going to a show…a LSR/CITY show. The story of the girl is woven in and out of Gareth Emery’s massive music catalog. From reworks of classics like “Saving Light,” to unreleased ID’s, fans were treated to an impressive musical journey.

One of the highlights was the live vocal performance from none other than Anabel, who started off strong with “house in the street light.” There was a perfect balance of old and new, with a performance of classic “Saving Light,” and then the reworked LSR/CITY version of Madonna’s “Like a Prayer.” The live vocals coupled with insane visuals created a truly immersive experience than needs to be seen to be believed.

From a rock style rework of Daft Punks “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger,” to classic Gareth Emery trance hits, the show had a little something for everyone in its 90 minute run time. The initial storyline the show beings with delves into bits about unity and love, uniting the crowd at the show and leaving them with feel good vibes. LSR/CITY is a 10/10 experience that cannot be recommended enough. Limited tickets remain for future tour dates, check out where the show is next and grab those last minute tickets here.
