Mark Farina Joins the Lineup for Sound Wave Block Party!

artist mark farinaSound Wave Block Party is just days away and as the excitement builds, we are thrilled to announce that pioneering DJ and producer Mark Farina will be performing at the W Scottsdale stage at 2:00 PM this Saturday, September 21st.

Born in Chicago, the birthplace of house music, Mark developed a taste for the genre at an early age. Though he’s been touring around the world since 1989, it wasn’t until the early 90’s that Mark would begin to grow and hone in on his trademark style, Mushroom Jazz. A downtempo mixture of acid jazz, funk, disco and hip hop, when Mark first showcased this style to the main rooms in Chicago, he was demoted to the side room for playing too many Martin Luther King Jr. samples.

Mushroom Jazz, would later grow a legendary, cult-like following for Mark, as he would often DJ his two favorite styles (mushroom jazz and house) in separate rooms at the same party. Ranked as one of the top DJ’s in the world by URB, MUZIK, and BPM Magazine, seasoned veterans and newcomers all flock to his Mark’s house sets, which are always brimming with funky rhythms and chunky bass lines. Join us in welcoming the self-professed “modern-day traveling minstrel,” Mark Farina to Sound Wave 2013. Tickets are still available, so grab yours today!

Crizzly gives away ‘Retwerk’ of “Bust it Wide Open”

artist crizzlySomething Wicked talent Crizzly released “Bust it Wide Open” back in 2011, giving the world an appropriate (or inappropriate) introduction to his distinctive sound, Crunkstep. Utilizing the perfect marriage dub and drumstep with a little southern hip hop influence, audiences are still moshing for Crizzy two years after the release.

Last week, Crizzly uploaded another “retwerk” to the series of remixes that he has recently been giving a fresh edits to. For the rework of “Bust it Wide Open,” Crizzly put a massive trap remix to the original. Still with the original vocals, we love the newly added fat bass and drops making for twerk-worthy anthem. Best part? It’s free!

We hope to see some twerking go down when Crizzly performs at Something Wicked 2013. Tickets are now on sale, so buy yours today!

Club Cirque Artist Profile: Borgore

artist borgoreProducer, DJ, rapper and singer Borgore is undeniably one of the leaders of today’s bass movement. Known for pioneering a new style to a then burgeoning genre, this self-proclaimed “Ruiner of Dubstep” (and provocation addict) may have ruined dubstep, but he did it in the best way possible.

Hailing from Tel Aviv, Israel, Asaf Borger completely immersed himself in music at a very early age. He first took to the piano at the age of three, moving onto the saxophone and drums throughout most of his formative years. While he studied classical and jazz in school, his passion for the style dwindled, “Anyone can draw squares but for it to be art you have to convince people you are a talented artist who can draw whatever you feel like, and in that case it’s a square. In order for me to make whatever music I feel like, I had to be very familiar with music’s basics.”

Getting his feet wet in the industry before his 21st birthday, Asaf played drums in the death metal band Shabira before making his mark on the world as Borgore. Drumming experience has helped him in the long run as he began gaining exposure due to his unique style using triplet drum patterns. His debut release, Gorestep Vol. 1 featured the underground classic “Love,” which was loved by almost all audiences, partially because of its questionable lyrics. But how did the release become so popular? Borgore provided some insight, “I would have say Myspace, a good team behind me, fans and a lot of luck. There’s endless amount of talent but sometimes in order to get big, you just need to be at the right place at the right time. To be fair, I didn’t get much money during my first tour in the US but it was about self promotion. While most produced deep dubstep, I made heavy dubstep with retarded lyrics which makes the link between the common commercial hip hop-loving American to the UK electro scene easier for most.”

Every year since his first release, Borgore’s popularity has continued on an upward incline. This year has been no different as the provocateur started off with his with the viral success of his single “Decisions” with celebutante Miley Cyrus. His release with Carnage titled “Incredible,” hit #1 on Beatport and quickly became a staple at Miami Music Conference this season.

Currently getting ready to embark on a nationwide tour with Steve Aoki and Waka Flocka, we are excited to welcome Borgore and the Aokify America Tour to the inaugural Club Cirque, taking over Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium on October 21st. If you’re about that #TURNTLIFE, then grab your tickets today be a part of the action!
