by Sam Wolloch Apr 26, 2024

Insomniac takes over DC as the Northeast spring festival season heats up with Project Glow this weekend, April 27 + 28. For its third year, The RFK Festival Grounds provides the space for this three-stage event that runs 10 hours from 1pm to 11pm on Saturday and Sunday. It’s never too late to send it!

While massive headliners like Illenium, Rezz, Lane 8, Zedd, and Purple Disco Machine command the stages to end the night, two artists caught our attention that will get the party started well before sunset — Blossom and Calussa.

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.

Tech house producer/DJ duo Calussa plays the Pulse Stage at 3:45pm on Sunday. Hailing from Miami, Calussa recently debuted with IMG on the release of “Te Recorde,” their collab with Subelo NEO, and there’s more IMG music on the way. Fusing Latin and Afro Tech sounds, Calussa has released with renowned labels like Higher Ground and Defected Records and they’re ready to bring their global house music sound to Project Glow and IMG.

This weekend promises to provide another awesome Insomniac festival experience as the Northeast prepares to get its glow on. Moon Lvnding is excited to be on-site in DC to bring our Moon Fvm coverage of the 2-day event. Use the handy Project Glow links below for any last-minute festival tickets and information.

Coachella Weekend 2 Ends With A Bang

by Martina Vargas Apr 24, 2024

The Coachella Valley Arts and Music Festival ended Sunday evening, April 21, after two weekends of star-studded performances that fused genres of music and generations of fans. Both weekends had their highs and lows, and reviews from attendees spanned from it being the most special yet to not living up to its reputation. One thing that prevailed throughout was the electrifying energy dance music artists brought to the desert that put the EDM community in the spotlight.

Already impressive lineups were complimented by tons of surprise guests. Dance music made it to the big stages, bringing in massive crowds of ravers and non-ravers alike.

The French powerhouse duo Justice delivered classics and starstruck what seemed like anyone who got a glimpse of the crowd. Festivalgoers witnessed unexpected guests joining the action like DJ Snake bringing out 50 Cent to perform his timeless, highly influential hip-hop hits. Grimes bounced back with an improved set in Weekend 2, Charlotte De Witte solidified her role as queen of techno, Adam Ten went b2b with Mita Gami, and so much more.

The Do LaB put rising stars on its stage like Knock2, while veteran talents like Skream and DJ Tennis lit up the valley. If you’re like me and hope to experience Coachella in person next year instead of via live stream, there’s good news! The 2025 dates have been announced for April 11 – 13 and 18 – 20. Advance ticket sales start in just over a week on May 3. Use the handy links below for more information on next year’s show and to keep up with all the latest updates.

Dance Music Shines At Coachella Weekend 1

by Martina Vargas Apr 19, 2024

Last Friday, festivalgoers from around the world headed to Indio, California to kick off the first weekend of the 23rd Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. The three-day event exceeded expectations with its stacked lineup of highly anticipated performances from world-class artists across genres and eras. 

It’s safe to say the dance music community shone especially bright this year, with stages and performances so exciting that even A-list celebrities like Taylor Swift had to witness in person.

The Do LaB, Coachella’s key stage for electronic dance music, presented sets by the scene’s most talented artists on a newly designed stage that emulated an enchanted forest, setting the mood just right. Surprise guests included an impressive list of superstars from myriad genres, including SOFI TUKKER, Kaskade + Alison Wonderland, Adriatique b2b BLOND:ISH, DJ Pee .Wee (Anderson .Paak’s DJ persona who brought rappers Freddie Gibbs and MARIO), and Billie Eilish. 

EDM DJs and iconic producers enjoyed immense traction throughout the festival’s stages, with one of the most anticipated sets of the weekend taking place at Coachella’s brand-new Quasar stage. Dedicated to dance music, its LED walls hosted unforgettable performances such as the emotional return of British megastar Michael Bibi after beating CNS lymphoma cancer.

Across the festival ground, the Sahara Tent extended to its largest capacity for a legendary performance by Peggy Gou. Argentine producer Bizarrap brought Shakira on stage, and powerhouses like Eric Prydz, Hardwell, and John Summit had attendees beaming.

Several artists experienced technical difficulties, such as Grime’s nightmare scenario on the decks that left the pop star/DJ visibly distressed. As with all major events, mishaps were bound to happen, but the highlights from the weekend far outweighed the lows.

From mesmerizing stages and mind-melting production to the intertwining of artists from different genres, the Coachella Valley magic is alive and well.  We can’t wait to see what’s in store for Weekend 2. Keep an eye on Coachella’s socials below for updates on set times, surprise guests, and more!

Recap: Ultra Music Festival And MMW 2024

by Martina Vargas Apr 1, 2024


Every March, Miami transforms into an electronic music haven for a week-long celebration of music. Hundreds of thousands of ravers descended upon the city to partake in the annual Ultra Music Festival at Bayfront Park and immerse themselves in Miami Music Week (MMW), the marathon leading up to the premier event. This year’s MMW proved to be exceptionally eventful, with remarkable energy that prevailed despite significant weather disruption. Whether fans were looking to groove to house music poolside, sweat it out in the dark with hard techno beats, or raise adrenaline with drum & bass, Miami played host to loads of events, appealing to fans of every subgenre.

The highly anticipated Ultra Music Festival encountered a rocky start on Day 1. For the first time in its history, Ultra was forced to shut down early due to heavy rainfall, leaving 55,000 attendees drenched and heading home much sooner than anticipated. Ultra’s team managed to bounce back with a clean-up crew that erased most traces of the downpour and by hosting an extended Day 2 of the festival, making up for Friday’s shutdown. Excision, RL Grime, and countless heavy hitters delivered outstanding sets, while performances by Calvin Harris and other EDM superstars stirred waves of nostalgia among fans.

Kick-off events began Tuesday night leading up to Ultra, with gatherings in every venue from South Beach to downtown. Iconic hotel venues held pool parties throughout the week, including Claptone’s famous Masquerade, Festvibes, Heldeep’s Pool Party, and sets from OMNOM, Nicole Moudaber, Hot Since 82, HUGEL, and more. South Beach offered plenty of options for party-goers looking to groove under the sun. Artists such as Deadmau5, Sara Landry, Honey & Badger, Wax Motif, Shiba San, Alison Wonderland, San Holo, and What So Not lit up clubs and open-air venues all over Wynwood, sending nonstop electronic vibrations through the infamous art-filled neighborhood.

Attendees of Factory Town, one of Miami’s hottest venues in recent years, stormed its many stages until sunrise to catch Charlotte de Witte, Ben Sterling, Chris Lake, El Row, Indira Paganotti, I Hate Models, and more. The venue’s newest stage, The Warehouse, offered the perfect ambiance for techno stars to deliver the classic dark rave experience.

Club Space welcomed music lovers at all times of the day, hosting exciting sets and B2Bs from tech-house stars, including Pawsa, Loco Dice, Andrea Oliva, Sosa, Chris Stussy, and Paco Osuna. Famous for its 24-hour parties, the energy showed no signs of slowing as Sunday rolled around, and the show persisted until early Tuesday morning.

MMW also held numerous networking events, giving industry professionals a perfect balance between work and play. Eden Roc hosted the EDMAs, where the Moon Lvnding team got to interview artists and mingle alongside media groups and stars, including Mark Knight, Hayla, Armin Van Buuren, Kaskade, Deadmau5, and Martin Garrix.

Rain or shine, with the week-long spectacle and Ultra Music Festival at its finale, 2024’s MMW marathon was as strong as ever. This year’s edition may go down in history as one of the most memorable, with highlights including countless shows, surprise guests, rare star-studded B2Bs, fireworks, drone shows, and impressive stage productions. For those who missed out, sets from the week’s hottest shows have already made their rounds on X, Instagram, and YouTube. Stay tuned for more on Moon Lvnding’s team at MMW 2024, featuring highlights from our interviews with your favorite artists and much more!
