Though one of our Sun City Music Festival acts is from England and the other based out of Montréal, there are two things Adventure Club and Eats Everything have in common: they both love bass and they both had break out success in 2011.

Adventure Club

We love Québécois production duo Adventure Club‘s knack for bass music. Though the duo originally formed while as a hardcore pop-punk band, they later moved onto the sounds of dubstep, and we’re so glad they did. Tracks like their remix of Brand New’s “Daisy” put the duo on the map and gave them heavy exposure on popular music site, The Hype Machine.

Praised for their melodic song structures and most notoriously, their love of free music, the boys of Adventure Club have undoubtedly established a devoted following since their initial inception, just shy of two years. Whether they perform live, or in a mix like their recent Superheros Anonymous Volume 2, their sound floats between the avenues of electro house, dubstep, drumstep, and trap, all the while, keeping their smooth melodic Clubstep for the masses. They also manage to keep a comedic approach to it all, never taking themselves too seriously. You can catch Adventure Club when they make their way to Sun City Music Festival this coming Labor Day. Tickets are available now!

Eats Everything

Eats Everything is leading the pack of talented producers coming from England’s bass central, Bristol. Born Dan Pearce, the gent picked up DJing before he hit his teens, but by the time he was 16, he started playing at the clubs he frequented in his home town. As a producer, he began experimenting with techniques a little over a decade ago, but it wasn’t until 2009 before he could confidently say, “Yeah, I know what I’m doing.”

The world can’t get enough of Eats Everything tracks. They have an infectious bounce that keeps everyone moving on the dance floor, but still have relaxed and laid back vibes. The cool thing about Eats Everything is that he draws knowledge of the various genres and periods of dance music, ranging from early ’90s house to old-school jungle and speed garage. This is evident by his debut release, “Entrance Song” on Catz N Dogz’s Pets Recordings imprint, which was chosen by Pete Tong as one of the biggest tunes of 2011. We love how catchy his bass lines are all while maintaining his personality with tricked out synths and funny yet odd samples.

With his rise to fame in just two short years, he is sitting comfortably between the underground and mainstream realms of dance music, and he wouldn’t have it any other way. “It’s taken me a long time to get where I am,” he says. Currently, Eats Everything is working with dirtybird label boss Justin Martin on a collaborative album due out in 2014. You can wait until then to hear the British talent, or you can come join us at Sun City Music Festival and get jackin’ on the dance floor. Grab your tickets today!

The summer season is officially upon us, and you know what that means – sunny skies, laying out by the pool, great music and fun times with friends. If you love the last two as much as we do, come join us on the dance floor this coming Labor Day weekend for El Paso’s largest dance music event, Sun City Music Festival.

To give you a sneak peak of what you can expect at SCMF, we’ve decided to launch a Weekly Set series on our Soundcloud profile featuring the music of all our talented roaster. This week’s theme is inspired by this time of season. So whether you’re driving to work or the coast, or enjoying the outdoors with great company, here are five tracks to soundtrack your fun in the sun starting with lighter beats and ending on a hard note.

Tiësto, Dyro – Paradise (Original Mix)

Recently featured on third edition of his popular Club Life series, Stockholm, Tiësto release “Paradise” on his own imprint Musical Freedom.

Why We Love It

“Paradise” is packed with gorgeous big room synths and a driving melody that makes you immediately want to jump up and dance. As the Tiësto camp says, “This is the best of summer wrapped up into a song.” Going to a day time pool party that goes on to the evening? This song is sure to pack a punch.

Sébastien Léger – Warped in Time (Original Mix)

In celebration of his love love for all things groovy, funky and melodic, Sébastien Léger gave away this soulful number away to all his fans.

Why We Love It

This song immediately puts you at ease. Right from the start, the atmospheric keys provide a whispy and angelic tone to the piece. When the fatty bass and drums come in, it adds a whole new jazz element to spaced-out tune. Like to watch the sun rise? Play “Warped in Time” when the sun first begins to show.

Eats Everything, Justin Martin – The Gettup (Original Mix)

Teaming up with dirtybird label boss Justin Martin, Sun City act Eats Everything released “The Gettup” earlier this month on Beatport.

Why We Love It

From the chunky bass lines, a signature to the dirtybird crew, to the tricked out effects over top of the vocals, “The Gettup” has the perfect combination of a smooth, relaxed vibe with dance floor appeal. Play this on your morning drives to start your day off right.

Destructo – Higher (Brodinski Remix)

Out on the famous Boyznoize Records, Brodinski joins Tommy Trash as remixers for Destructo’s EP Higher.

Why We Love It

The industrial sounds on this banger first grabbed our attention on Brodinski’s remix of “Higher.” We especially loved the trap breakdown in the middle as the vocals repeat, Get higher baby. Going with friends to grab a some lunch? Play this track with the windows rolled down and the bass way up to give you that jolt of energy to make it through the day. WARNING: A dance party in the car may ensue at all stop lights.

Candyland ft. Stan SB – The Secret (Original Mix)

A few months ago, Candyland were originally scheduled to play an event in Boston a few days after the unfortunate tragedies on Patriot’s Day. Though they were asked to reschedule because the promoter was directly affected by the events, the boys decided to release a brand new original with 100% of the proceeds going to The One Fund Boston.

Why We Love It

Outside of the awesome fact that the boys are donating all the proceeds from this track to One Fund Boston, it’s hazy synths, worked drums, and memorable lyrics make it a sure-fire summer anthem pick. We recommend cranking this one on for the next road trip!
