Sun City Music Festival Sound Clash: Droog, Borgore
Today, we’re clashing the sounds of two Sun City Music Festival artists — one that’s members are plucked from all over the place, and the other imported from Israel and then from across the Atlantic. Though their styles are completely different, we love the thought of blending the sounds of both Droog and Borgore. But we think the fans from both sides can agree that these two artists, are masters in creating their unique sound. And you’ll be able to see that sound in action come August 31st and September 1st. Buy your tickets today to score the best deal.
Droog
Based out of L.A., Droog, meaning “friend,” first started gaining recognition for their respected weekly at the world-famous Avalon Hollywood. The party was legendary for hosting some of the biggest international house and techno talents. From 2007 to 2011, Droog had held down a residency at Avalon rooting themselves as a trusted source for truly underground talents.
Now, as a production trio, the boys have begun to hone in on their style, making excursions into mood-enhancing, spellbinding tech house loaded with trippy motifs, fat synths, and lyrics/vocals that might confuse and intrigue you. This is made evident by their Westbound EP released back in 2011. The track “Unhinged” is their signature spooky formula and wrapping it around an uptempo house jack and haunting, wobbly-pitched vocal. The effect on the lyric pulling me… closer… is so eerily wonderful, sitting on the corner of sensual and creepy. It’s one of our favorites.
Today, you can find the collective producing original and remixed material for revered labels all around the world. You can get on the action and see our droogs as Droog performs at this year’s Sun City Music Festival. Go in stores or online to grab your tickets today!
Borgore
Borgore is one of the most controversially loved artists in dance music right now. If not for his social media antics, than definitely for his memorable, catchy, and sometimes questionable lyrics. Early tracks like “Icecream” and “Love” were underground successes and helped catapult him to the world-renowned fame he’s sitting at today. As a producer he creates a unique sounds in bass and bass accessories, calling it “Gorestep” and incorporating triplet drum patterns and heavy metal influences, no doubt an influence from his days in the band Shabira. Perhaps our favorite example of this “Guided Relaxation Dub” and his recent banger “Decisions” released last year on Buygore Records with backup vocals provided by Miley Cyrus.
Known for his crazy energy and interactive live shows, expect nothing less than a bass-in-your-face energy filled set when Borgore takes the stage at Sun City Music Festival. Buy your Sun City tickets today!
Disco Donnie Presents is 'Getting Wet' with Krewella on tour!
Self-made trio Krewella are undeniably one of the hottest acts out right now. From their early beginnings at underground raves in the warehouses of Chicago, sisters Jahan and Yasmine Yousaf and producer Kris “Rain Man” Trindl first burst onto the scene in 2011. Though they garnered a substantial following for their unique blend of electro house, dubstep, and lyrics, it would skyrocket after they self-released their critically acclaimed Play Hard EP in the summer of 2012. The extended player hit #1 on the Beatport charts and the single “Alive” went to #1 on Billboard’s Dance Radio Airplay.
And although it hasn’t even been a year since the success of that release, Krewella has gone on to headline and sell out shows and festivals around the world and also won the IDMA for “Best Breakthrough Artist.” Even Billboard said, “Krewella will be huge this year.”
As the trio prepares to release their first full-length album Get Wet on Columbia Records in September, we are excited to be a part of the Krewlife as Disco Donnie Presents will be bringing Krewella’s Get Wet Live Tour to a city near you. Adding support to the impending fall tour are fresh talents Seven Lions and Candyland.

Sun City Music Festival Artist Profile: Steve Aoki
If there is anything we’ve learned from attending a Steve Aoki show, it’s that you never know exactly what’s going to go down. From cake being thrown in peoples’ faces to inflatable rafts gliding over crowd, these are just a few of the things the world has come to expect at a Steve Aoki show. And it’s been like that since the early beginnings of his career.
Steve Aoki first started DJing he was a student at the University of California in Santa Barbara under the moniker Kid Millionaire. Steve has never been known to do things the easy way. He began producing records and hosting concerts in his living room, calling the makeshift venue, the Pickle Patch. In 1996, now in his early 20s, Steve created the now world famous label Dim Mak Records. Dim Mak is the Chinese form of martial arts also known as the “Death Touch,” and 17 years later he’s still partying strong.
As a producer, Steve has created a series of popular underground mix albums and tracks that have scored him success on charts around the world as well as awards from BPM Magazine and Billboard. His work as a remixer spans from names like the Jackson 5, Lenny Kravitz, Kanye West, Eminem and Snoop Dogg. And with his knack for collaboration, he has worked with artists like Kid Cudi, will.i.am, Afrojack, and Armand Van Helden, just to name a few. We’re not sure what goodies he’ll bring for his performance at Sun City Music Festival, but what we do know is that the best way to see Steve is in person. So, have you bought your tickets yet?
