Announcing the Return of Magnetic Music Festival at Atlanta Motor Speedway!
Liquified and Disco Donnie Presents are excited to team up again and bring back Magnetic Music Festival on Saturday, April 12th, 2014. Just like our inaugural show, the second Magnetic will feature a world-class lineup of DJs for a day filled with great music pumping all through our stages.
The 2014 return of Magnetic will take place at the Atlanta Motor Speedway, just 25 minutes south of the downtown-metro area. Spanning over 887 acres, the Speedway is the perfect canvas to create a unique festival experience. The change in venue allows us to build multiple themed stages, extend the party hours, and gives you dance fans the benefit of free parking!
Last year, party goers were able to explore a full-on audiovisual sensory experience with state-of-the-art production, sound and video mapped stage designs all set to the soundtrack of some of the world’s biggest DJs. As two of the longest-running dance music event promoters in the country, we couldn’t be more thrilled to bring back this innovative festival to the South.

Something Wicked Drop: Crizzly and Figure announce 30+ date North American Tour; Simon Patterson climbs Beatport's psy-trance chart
For this week’s edition of the Something Wicked Festival Drop, three of our acts are making waves in dance music news. Two are making waves for the journey they are about to embark on and the other for adding some sizzle to Beatport’s genre charts.
Crizzly and Figure announce 30+ date All Black Everything Tour
Dance music fans are still buzzing about a recent announcement involving two rising names in bass music. Something Wicked ghoulish talents Crizzly and Figure are joining forces to bring you the co-headlining “All Black Everything” tour this coming fall and winter. With 30+ dates over North America, the two will be switching off the closing set time every night.
Crizzly and Figure have been destroying the festival market recently. Crizzly with his ní®che blend of dubstep, trap, and hip-hop, deeming it “crunkstep.” And Figure with his filthy, raw take on dub/drumstep. It’s about time these boys embarked on a massive tour, and do you want to know the best part? The tour is coming to Something Wicked on October 26th. Don’t miss out on your chance to see these two rising talents take the stage at the Sam Houston Race Park. Tickets are available now, so buy yours today!

Simon Patterson sitting at #2 on Beatport’s psy-trance chart with “Contraband”
Still reveling in the success of his #1 hit “The One” on Armin van Buurens’s Armind imprint, Simon Patterson teamed up with king of psy-breaks, Blazer, to create the mind-mending banger “Contraband.” Released the second week of August, the Contraband EP contains remixes of the track from each artist. With broken and four-to-the-floor beats, the extended player is a well-paired balance, showing the world why these two are leading the pack in their respective genres.
Now three weeks after its original release, Simon Patterson’s remix continues to climb Beatport’s psy-trance chart. Now sitting at #2, the track gives a nod to the early days of acid house in this monster of a production. We hope to hear this banned track when Simon Patterson performs at Something Wicked 2013. Buy your tickets today!

AWOL Sun Artist Profile: Rony Seikaly
International music sensation Rony Seikaly has made an astronomical rise in the DJ ranks recently. Over the past three years, the former NBA superstar, who ironically received the nickname “€œThe Spin Doctor”€ on the court, has released two EPs, a full-mix album, and now has his own radio show on Sirius/XM Electric Area called SugarFree. More than a decade since his last basketball game, Rony is becoming a regular on the dance music circuit, performing at some of the world’s biggest clubs including his residency in Ibizia.
Ronald Seikaly is not new to music or DJing. Born in Beirut and growing up in Athens, Greece, Rony has had a music room in every home he has lived in since the age of 14, which, coincidentally is the same year he began DJing. Being exposed to everything from the Police, Genesis, KISS and even classical music, Rony’s music room was his haven to play music for friends, parties, birthdays et cetera.
Spending six of the eleven seasons he played in the NBA with the Miami Heat, Rony’s teammates knew little about his love of music, teasing him for his “Euro” tastes and knack for disco and pop. Now retired from basketball, Rony can pursue the career he’s secretly admired all this time. “Sports will always be my love. But music will always be my passion.”
With friends often retreating to his “playroom” in Miami, Rony’s current music room is set up like a mellow, garage-sized lounge, with dim lighting and a mirrored Buddha perched high on a shelf. A faux bar actually holds CDJs and a mixer (not drinks) and the room is equipped with an often overlooked club-level sound system. This, of course, is a hot-spot for Rony and his cronies, and over the years, as more friends were exposed to his talents, the more he was encouraged to share his DJing skills and selection with the public. Finally convinced to perform out in 2008, Rony played to a crowd in Miami’s Mokai Nightclub, “It turned out to be an amazing night.”
As one might expect with his diverse musical background, Rony’s DJing style mirrors as such. With a deep-rooted knowledge of the music that has inspired him and influenced his unique style, house music legend Erick Morillo dubs his sound, “Rony Style.” Rony himself loosely defines his sound as “happy underground.” Utilizing a driving, uplifting, and energetic track selection, Rony’s body-shaking beats all figure seamlessly into his sets. “It’s underground in the sense that it’s not music you are going to hear on the radio; But it is also not music that is going to scare you away. It is happy, sexy club music.” Currently celebrating recent releases “Thanks For Everything” and “You Make Me Feel” with Jean Claude Ades, we are ready to hear some happy, sexy club music by “The Spin Doctor” when we go on vacation with Rony Seikaly on October 10-13th for AWOL Sun 2013 in Cabo San Lucas. Reserve your room today and take advantage of our payment plans!
