I got some info and I'm passing it to you!! Camp Bisco is coming closer and closer (JULY 12-14, 2012) and MCP Presents has just released the lineup in an announcement last week!!

Earlier this month the website was updated, allowing visitors to explore a little more into Bisco There is now a news section, a photo gallery, travel and festival info, and a FAQ as well. And that's just the website.

The lineup has been released! It's thick of talent from around the world, including the Disco Biscuits, Skrillex, Bassnectar, Shpongle....it's going to be a sick festival! I personally was hoping to get some of swag on with Wiz Khalifa and Snoop Dogg, but they have not been confirmed accorded to the lineup listed on the latest press release (below). I'm hoping that more names get added to the list, and you already read about our very own local DJs getting spots there as well. I'm talking about Nick Nise, Jake Dukes, Sprite, and Mad Panda!

Get Ready the Festivals in 2012!!

When you first dive into the underground world, you start to hear a lot of new music that makes you want to jump and dance, meeting and hearing new DJs putting their spin on different tracks. You see a lot of familiar faces, the staples in the raving community. But what say you when you want more, to expand with the community? When you get to see some of the biggest names in EDM culture performing live, and there are more than ten fold the amount of people experiencing the music and vibes with you...

EDC satellite in LA: VACAY By: Drew Ressler

There are festivals! And a handfull of them at that.. The major ones that come to mind in the states are Ultra Music Festival, Electric Daisy Carnival, Camp Bisco, and Burning Man Festival. They are all here in the USA, Ultra's in March down in Florida, EDC is out in Vegas beginning of June, Camp Bisco in upstate NY is just before mid-July, and Burning Man is in Nevada at the end of August. There are other festivals out there for sure, don't be pissed I didn't mention your favorite... but for someone like me who is just coming onto the scene, these four are pretty much all I hear about.

Bird is the Word! By: Matteox Photography

They are all very different scenes and they way they are held. Ultra and EDC are stadium events, where as Camp Bisco and the Burning Man are camping grounds. They also all have different types of music playing at that, between heavy on the house, heavy on the heavy, or heavy on the trance. The scenes of people that come down are widely different too, but when it comes down to it, so are the people at raves. They are all gathering for a greater love of music, art, self expression, and the community as a whole.

Now ya'll know I'm here in NY, only 30 minutes from the city. We've seen a lot of the city scene together in the past month, diving into house parties, mixing the club scene with the rave scene, and the straight up in-your-face bangers that go all night. Traveling isn't always so easy for people, and especially when you want to go to 4-6 major events all over the country. That's airfare, hotels, ticket prices...things get a little crazy. But here's the good news, early birds, pre-sales, and being local.




Camp Bisco should be on your calendar for events to go to this year, ESPECIALLY if you are part of the city's scene. Coming around for it's 11 year, Camp Bisco will have three days of non-stop PLUR over 200 acres, over 90 musical guests from around the world (Including The Disco Biscuits, Skrillex, Wiz Khalifa, Snoop Dogg, Holy Fuck, STS9...and more!) and over 25,000 people in attendance... all for under $200 if you act now. The holiday sale is over, but you are still in time for the early bird tickets. Save some money, buy now. You also have the option for VIP treatment, but the Platinum VIPs are almost out...so act fast.

The drive isn't that bad at all, especially if you have the head start not having to drive through New York City. For me (without traffic), there will be about 4 hours on the road, no big deal. It's be worth it for the massive activities going on (COLOR WAR!!), art, people, huge tents of music and light.... But let's go full circle here of why you NEED to go to this festival. Four of the DJs from our scene will be spinning there. Yup, Jake Dukes, Mad Panda, Nick Nise, and Sprite will all be on stage, and we need to go and represent and support these guys! They are all very talented, and I'll be sitting down with them working up towards Bisco so ya'll can get to know them a little better.
