Phew! It was pure torture keeping our Something Wicked lineup a secret for so long. But now that we’ve revealed our frightening lineup, we can start having some fun! All the more preparation for the Halloween event bewitching the Sam Houston Race Park on October 26th. Have you bought your tickets yet?
For our first weekend warrior post, it’s all about the energy. With hyperactive percussion, or pounding kid drums, there are many ways an artist can pack on the energy in a live mix. So to set your weekend alight, here are three mixes where you are sure to feel the energy.
Antiserum
Earlier this year, Antiserum released a mix for Smog Records and BBC Radio 1xtra. Antiserum has been creating quite a buzz this past year with tracks like “Brick Squad Anthem” and “Bangladesh” with Mayhem. This mix falls right in line that “buzz.” With a monster track list of 40 songs blended in the hour mix, we love that this mix is high-energy from the very start and technically, it is mixed to perfection.

Arnej – Coldharbour Day 2013
At the end of July every year, the Coldharbour family unite for their annual Coldharbour Day celebration. Featuring special all-Coldharbour sets and showcases, the marathon radio event dedicated entirely to the fans. We were completely blown away by this mix. And the best part is? It is 100% Arnej‘s reworks and productions. With a pulsating bass kick throughout the mix, the twists and breakdowns on some of these tracks will make you do a double take.

Tommy Trash – Live at Electric Daisy Carnival 2013
This Aussie had a massive set at this year’s Electric Daisy Carnival. As you could guess, we’re suckers for a high-energy set, especially when it’s packed full of bangers. We hope you weren’t going to try and fall asleep after this mix, because, SPOILER ALERT: you can’t. In the mix, you’ll hear some classic electro sounds that we’ve come to expect from the one, Mr. Tommy Trash, but there is also some acid style synths that make their way into the set. We’re really diggin’ the retro influence.
