Adventure Club donates $7,000 to F*ck Cancer
Back in August, Québecois superheroes Adventure Club teamed up with dance music clothing retailer Electric Family to release a custom series of Adventure Club wristbands. These aren’t ordinary fan wristbands though. The red and blue threaded bracelet is giving fans the opportunity to be real life superheroes. Each product sold directly benefits F*ck Cancer, a Canadian-based charity whose purpose, though could inferred to by the title, is to educate youth and adults about cancer.
To date, with the aid of their fans, Adventure Club has been able to donate over $7,000 from bracelet sales to the organization. Due to popular demand, the bands were temporarily sold out, but not anymore. Head over to Electric Family and grab your Adventure Club wristband today. Be sure to wear yours at Winter Fantasy!
Showtek’s ‘Booyah’ reaches #1 in South Africa
The brothers Showtek are on roll. Back in November, we reported the duo’s rise to the top of the UK’s Top 40 with their massive release “Booyah” featuring We Are Load! and Sonny Wilson. Now, the Dutch powerhouse outfit has taken the #1 spot on South Africa’s most popular radio station 5FM. With 5FM being the most popular contemporary music and entertainment platform in the country, it’s safe to say that the brothers are on their way to total world domination.
Venturing outside of their original hardstyle roots, “Booyah” starts differently than the standard four-to-the-floor beat. As you’re grooving to the a half-time beat intro, some massive stab synths greet you that are later joined by the vocals of We Are Loud! and Sonny Wilson. We’re loving this, this reggae-infused big room track – it is definitely festival ready. We’re sure you’ll here it at Winter Fantasy later this month.
Mysteryland to Make Groundbreaking USA Debut this Memorial Day Weekend
The world’s longest-running and groundbreaking dance music festival, Mysteryland, is making its historic US debut this coming Memorial Day weekend from May 23-May 26th at Bethel Wood in New York. The site is home to the legendary 1969 Woodstock festival, thus making Mysteryland’s inaugural American event the first music festival to return to the very grounds where Woodstock took place. “Woodstock represented the music of a new generation and cultural tour de force for the changing times,” says Duncan Stutterheim, founder of Mysteryland’s organizer ID&T, “and today Mysteryland brings together the global forces of dance music for the millennial generation’s revolution.”
Mysteryland has also announced its first musical partner, bringing back the popular party Sunday School which will be hosting its own mini-fest within the land of mystery. With its first party dating back to 2006 at the Winter Music Conference, Made Event’s Sunday School is one of the most regarded techno and house music parties in the industry. It will continue to be so in 2014 as Sunday School will have three dedicated stages and a cross-section of today’s and tomorrow’s future underground stars.
The first US edition of Mysteryland at this iconic location will be an exclusive and special gathering. All of us at Disco Donnie Presents are excited to welcome this groundbreaking event to the SFX Entertainment family. You can sign up now at Mysteryland.us for pre-sale tickets on December 11th. Tickets go on sale date Friday, December 12th at 10AM EST.

Adventure Club donates $7,000 to F*ck Cancer
Over the summer, Québecois superheroes Adventure Club teamed up with dance music clothing retailer Electric Family to release a series of custom Adventure Club wristbands. These aren’t just your run-in-the-mill fan wristbands though. The threaded red and blue design is one way Cristian and Leighton are giving fans the chance to be superheroes in real life. Every dollar made from the sale of the product will directly benefit Canadian-based charity F*ck Cancer. Their purpose, though it could inferred to by the title, is to educate youth and adults about fighting cancer.
To date, with the aid of their fans, Adventure Club has been able to raise over $7,000 in bracelet sales for the organization. Due to popular demand, the bands were temporarily sold out, but not anymore. You can make your way over to Electric Family and grab your Adventure Club wristband today. Be sure to wear yours at The Gift on Thursday, December 26th!
Nom De Strip’s and Congrock’s ‘Minerals’ out now on Ultra Records
The long-awaited collaboration of Nom de Strip and Congorock is finally here. The fresh new release, out on Ultra Records, is titled “Minerals” and WARNING: It’s killer. The groovy tribal drum intro will give you the urge to start dancing immediately. The main riff is sinister and somewhat ominous sounding, but in the awesomest, grittiest and dirtiest of ways. And we can’t talk about this song without mentioning the roaring kick drum. Break out the sub woofers for this one. The four-to-the-floor kick just keeps pounding, driving the energy level of this track through the roof.
The song has also been featured in the soundtrack of the recently released EA Sports game Need for Speed Rivals. We think its awesome that you can have a street-racing rivalry between cops and racers to the tune of some banging electro house tracks. You can go out and grab the game, but we’re pretty sure the song would sound better in person. Come hear and dance to “Minerals” at The Gift on Thursday, December 26th.
