EDC Las Vegas is right around the corner and today we’re exploring the harder styles with a curated playlist focused on the wasteLAND stage.


Throughout the week, we’ve been hosting a playlist mini-series, where the greatest curators in the universe deliver the freshest beats from every stage at EDC Las Vegas to the most important headliner: you. So far, we dove into the eclectic sounds of the neonGARDEN and quantumVALLEY stages. Today, we’re shifting gears to the diverse sounds of wasteLAND, hosted by Basscon.

The wasteLAND stage represents the entire spectrum of hard dance music from euphoric hardstyle to rawstyle to hardcore. It’s one that you’ll want to visit to get your fix of high-octane beats, drifting screeches, and distorted kickdrums backed by the melodies that open the pearly gates of Hard Dance Heaven (or Hell). The most dedicated crowd in the universe flocks to the wasteLAND stage to be greeted by ground-shaking music, curated by European hard dance legends and homegrown artists we’ve come to know and love over the past few years.

Get ready to “Lose Your Mind” and venture “Into The Wild” with the sounds of Wildstylez and Sound Rush, and ascend to the heavens with the sweet, euphoric sounds of Adrenalize, Da Tweekaz, and Headhunterz. Experience the “Renaissance of Rave” with Sub Zero Project, DJ Isaac, Ben Nicky, Dr. Phunk, and TNT – and prepare for the U.S. debut of a hysterical and rowdy new hardstyle act, 3 Blokes, featuring Audiofreq, Code Black, and Toneshifterz.

If you prefer the faster speeds and even-more-aggressive sounds of hard dance, Basscon has you covered with the best in rawstyle and hardcore, giving fans sets from D-Sturb, Deadly Guns, DJ Anime, Lil Texas, Mad Dog, Omar Santana, Radical Redemption, Rob Gee, and Warface. Basscon didn’t forget about happy hardcore as Tweekacore and Darren Styles are slated to perform, with the latter finally returning to the festival after almost three years, making this a must-see performance.

Last but certainly not least, Basscon shows some love to the homegrown artists that have been holding it down for the American Hard Dance scene for a number of years now, but especially during the pandemic while European headliners navigated their way back to shows in the States. These performers include Crime Family, Darksiderz, a special B2B between HPNOTIC and Lucky Rabbit, SOREN, and Lady Faith. Basscon also enlisted some homegrown newcomers to the festival such as LINK, LLLLNNNN, Talon, and one of the most promising acts to ever come from American soil, KAMI.

There’s no doubt that this year’s wasteLAND lineup is stacked to the brim and it’s going to be worth the visit to check out a genre that’s rapidly growing and gaining momentum in the States. But while we wait until it’s time to return to EDC Las Vegas, check out this playlist that covers all the sounds of wasteLAND. Make sure to check back in tomorrow for another edition of our playlist mini-series!

While GA tickets are sold out, there are still a few VIP passes available, so grab them now before it’s too late. Stream the wasteLAND playlist on Spotify, and let us know who you’re excited to see in the comment section.

  • ARTIST INTERVIEW: 🎵⁠
@MitiS shares Memories of his early career and releases a brand new four-track EP on his imprint to thank his longtime fans. 🙌🏽⁠
⁠
“I fell in love with the tempo, and how it was SO different from everything else,” he told us. “It just really clicked, supernaturally. The more I wrote, the more it made me excited to write more of it.” - MitiS ⁠
⁠
He returns with his brand new Memories EP, which not only harkens back to the start of his career but serves as a thank-you to his fans. “I got super burnt out trying to write more poppy-sounding stuff, and the melodic scene is so over-saturated now that I just wanted to write how I felt and what I wanted,” he said. “I had the most fun writing instrumental music my whole career, so I decided to dive back in and have a trip down memory lane.“ 🎶⁠

  • SHOW REVIEW:⁠
Millions of people across the globe recently ushered in a fresh Lunar New Year. For those that celebrate, 2023 is the year of the rabbit, which represents peace, self-reflection, and prosperity. And in honor of this celebration, Pulse Events produced two eventful nights at @avantgardnerbk, featuring a roster of Asian artists and two dance music titans – @Gryffin and @KSHMR. 🪅🎶⁠
⁠
The renowned venue displayed a 360 photo booth with a Lunar New Year backdrop for attendees, and a constellation of red lanterns suspended throughout the space with a huge chandelier right in the center of the Great Hall – and our team was there to witness the Lunar New Year magic. 💫⁠

  • ALBUM REVIEW: 💿️⁠
There are few artists in the melodic house and techno realm more in demand than @marshmusician at the moment. His latest LP to land on @Anjunadeep, Endless, is a glimpse of what the last few years of staying busy have meant to the producer, yet also act as a snapshot of his past as he takes his deepest influences and brings them into the present. This album is the culmination of both the artistry that’s made him a staple of the Anjuna roster over the past few years and the philosophical questions that arise from long journeys. 🛣️🎶⁠
⁠
"I’ve written this entire album on the move, writing from so many different homes. On a deeper, more spiritual level, this has led me to question, what is truly home, and will we experience home after this life?" -Marsh⁠
