Thank You Sun City! Hello Day 2 of Sun City Music Festival!
One day down; one more to go. Are you ready for another day of Sun City Music Festival? Thank you to all of the sun-kissed party-goers who came out to Ascarate Park yesterday and danced all throughout the night to the sounds artists like Armin van Buuren, Borgore, and Popof. Many of you took advantage of our meet and greets too – it was great to see all the smiles on the faces of the artists and fans! And speaking of smiles, did you guys check out the Sun City photo booth? We loved seeing everyone’s personalities shine through on film. Be sure to check out the booth today if you didn’t yesterday.
Another special thanks to everyone who participate in keeping Sun City Music Festival green by collecting empty water bottles for Planet Disco. It made a huge difference, so thank you all for that.
Judging by the tweets we received last night and this morning, it looks like you guys had as much fun as we did! We’ve got some great music for you today, so the time for sleep is over! Make your way down to El Paso for the second day of Sun City Music Festival! And above all else, remember to be healthy and safe while enjoying the festival.

Something Wicked Weekend Warriors: Firebeatz, Ryan Hemsworth, Wolfgang Gartner
August keeps on barreling through and as we count down the weeks until we taunt the Sam Houston Race Park on October 26th for Something Wicked, we can start prepping for the main event. Have you bought your tickets yet?
For this edition of our Weekend Warriors, it’s all about the radio show. To get your weekend started right, here are three mixes where our talented acts appear in syndication.
Firebeatz – Spinnin’ Sessions Episode Three Guest Mix
A few months ago, Spinnin’ Records introduced their brand new weekly radio show called Spinnin’ Sessions. For the third episode of Spinnin’ Sessions, Something Wicked act, Firebeatz, lent their talents to the series.
Hosting a good amount of their own productions and edits, Firebeatz glides through intense windups, gritty electro synths, and driving kick drums all perfectly bound in a 30-minute mix.

Ryan Hemsworth – Diplo & Friends BBC 1Xtra Mix
Ryan Hemsworth became one of the fastest-rising artists in the dance music industry as of late. A few months ago when our clocks were springing forward, Ryan Hemsworth lent his talents to Diplo’s 1Xtra show on BBC’s Radio One. This hour long mix has a little bit of something for any music lover out there. Starting out with R. Kelly, the mix bounces from artists like Chief Keef, Air, The Knife, Nada Surf, Shlohmo, some original productions and even Gnarls Barkley, the mix is stocked with a wide range in tastes from this young selector.

The HARD events have become one of the country’s largest dance music festivals, spanning from New York City to Los Angeles. This past November, Wolfgang Gartner headlined HARD at the Hollywood Palladium, throwing together an eclectic mix featuring artists Pink Floyd, Nicki Minaj, Tiësto, Deadmau5 and more.
