Preview: Texas Eclipse 2024

Music festivals are always more fun when they coincide with events or holidays. Halloween, Valentine’s Day, and New Year’s Eve shows always have a little more life, but what about a festival centered around a cosmic phenomenon?!

Get ready for an astronomical adventure at Texas Eclipse 2024! From April 5-9, music and astronomy enthusiasts will gather in Burnet, Texas, for a unique experience under a total solar eclipse. This rare celestial occasion, estimated to occur on average only once every 400 years at a specific location, will cast Reveille Peak Ranch into darkness for an awe-inspiring 4 minutes and 20 seconds — a phenomenon not expected to recur until February 2343!

Body Language Hosts Eric Prydz, Deadmau5 And More At Phoenix Raceway

Relentless Beats’ sub-brand RBDeep brings Body Language out for its Phoenix Raceway debut on February 16 and 17, 2024. With stage takeovers by Adam Beyer’s techno label Drumcode (since 1996!) and State of Mind, Body Language promises to keep the boutique festival vibes among its heavyweight bookings.

Known for showcasing house, techno, and underground stylings, Night 1 will be headlined by Eric Prydz, while six-time GRAMMY-nominated Deadmau5 closes it out on Night 2. Supporting acts are Meduza and Sofi Tukker (throwing down a rare DJ set!) Additional talent includes Charles D, Dubfire, Hugel, Kream, Layton Giordani, Martin Ikin, Never Dull, Omnon, Sammy Virji, and Shermanology.

Eric Prydz just took some time off for the holidays, and Body Language will be a stop on of his North America run. His Melbourne, New York, and Mexico shows last year were incredible and it’s going to be anyone’s guess what he brings out for this round! Deadmau5 also recently posted on Instagram he is finally taking time off on vacation.

Meduza and Sofi Tukker are also wildly recognizable names. Meduza became the biggest global streaming Italian artist in the history of music in Italy with their debut release Piece of Your Heart, nominated for a GRAMMY in 2019. Sofi Tukker had some dance music success but their growth exploded during quarantine in 2020 from their daily-streamed DJ sets, and then their wildly successful live show upon the world re-opening. Having played dozens of fests from Coachella, to Electric Forest and Bonnaroo, and a huge South American tour, their ascent knows no bounds. Seeing a pure DJ set from the duo is a fantastic treat!

Layton Giordani and Kream are also two other artists not to miss! Layton Giordani, based out of New York, makes techno and played b2b with Adam Beyer at Awakenings in Gashouder. Kream, a duo of Norweigan brothers Daniel and Markus Slettebakken, are known for their beautiful take on melodic tech house. They’ve been steadily on the rise since 2023, having joined Eric Prydz in Asia and snagging bookings for EDC not just in Vegas, but also on Orlando’s main stage.
