Wolfgang has put together a stage set-up using the same set designers that created the Daft Punk pyramid... see below for pictures of what hits Mpls this Friday the 15th :) Tickets will also be on sale at the door.
Wolfgang Gartner is a justified stage name. This musical mastermind has left a deep impact in the Electronic Dance Music scene. The Grammy-nominated electro-house producer and DJ is being compared to world-renowned artists such as Deadmau5 and Justice. His last visit to Minneapolis in 2009 resulted in a completely filled venue with music enthusiasts wishing the night would never end.
Born Joey Yougman, this American musician has performed at world-renowned dance music festivals such as Coachella 2010 and Electric Daisy Carnival 2010. In his short time producing, eight of his songs held the number one position on the Beatport Top 10 Chart. Hits such as “Wolfgang's 5th Symphony”, “Push and Rise” and remix of Britney Spear’s “3” are club favorites.
After establishing the name Wolfgang Gartner, he debuted as a featured guest on BBC Radio 1’s Essential Mix, hosted by Pete Tong, in 2010.Gartner is receiving recognition for his talent and was recently nominated for four International Dance Music Awards, including Best Electro/Tech House Track, Best Progressive Track, Best Breakthrough DJ and Best Breakthrough Artist this past January. His newest releases can be found under the record label, Ultra, which also represents other well-known artists such as Deadmau5, Benny Benassi, and Kaskade. Be sure to look for his future release Forever," a new collaboration with Will.I.Am.
Psy-Trance innovators Infected Mushroom have become one of the biggest electronic bands on the planet. Twice ranked among the world’s 10 best DJs by the bible of the scene, the U.K.’s DJ Magazine, the Israel-bred, L.A. based duo bring a frenetic rock energy to the form. Their explosive show, featuring guitars, live drums, intensely passionate vocals and an ambitious multimedia...backdrop, ranks among the genre’s most unpredictably joyous events. And their recordings continually venture where other electronic acts fear to tread.
If you have never seen these guys play live, then this is a must-go event. The sheer energy and passion these guys present on stage will get Minneapolis raging to the roof. Any music lover of any kind of electronic music will find these guys amazing.
Twin Cities Dubstep and Sound In Motion join forces for the first of what will surely be a number of insane co-promoted events. Two of the best of the cities working together is a guaranteed win in so many ways. Expect to get nasty!
EOTO:
Consisting of Michael Travis and Jason Hann the duo mixes the organic sounds of live drums, keyboards, vocals, bass, percussion, and guitar through a variety of programs and gadgets to create a style of music that is more likely found in a dance club, then a live music theater. What sets EOTO apart from other artists in this emerging genre is how the music is created. While some artists may spend hours pre-mixing samples and elements of music for their live show, EOTO uses nothing pre-recorded, giving them the ability to approach each song with on-the-spot spontaneity and 100% live improvisation.
Because of the ever-changing sound and style of music, it’s hard to describe a band like EOTO. In a recent discussion on the bands highly active Facebook page, the thousands of subscribed fans were asked to describe the band in their own words – descriptions ranged from mythical to visual, each in awe of the duo’s ability to create high octane dance music in a live setting. A trait that has fans old and new catching multiple shows on a tour and packing venues wherever they play. Or maybe EOTO is selling out venues around the coast for the spirit of dance music they bring in general. As one fan put it, “It’s a raging dance party that nobody should miss, and indescribable feeling that lingers for hours.”
