Welcome to Disco Donnie Land 2.0
This past weekend, we were delighted to see our Facebook page hit 100,000 fans! We want to thank everyone from the bottom of our Disco hearts for supporting us over the years and joining us on many-a-dance floor. You’re all a part of our family now, so why not learn more about your roots? Don’t worry, you don’t have to make one of those cardboard family trees for show-and-tell. Instead, check out the new Disco Donnie Land website on Tumblr.
This new site is going to be your home base for all things Disco Donnie. Here, you’ll find blogs, photos, retro content, music, and much more. Procrastinators be warned – you can be on the site for hours laughing at animated GIFs or getting lost in some of our other categories…
Donnie’s Picks
The Donnie’s Picks section will be your source to see what new artists Disco Donnie Presents is supporting and to find out about upcoming tour dates. You’ll even get to hear new releases from some of your favorites!
Ask Donnie
Ask Donnie is similar to any other website’s FAQ section, only our version is 10 times better. Here, fans can ask questions directly to Donnie and actually get an answer.
History
To avoid making that family tree, the history portion on the site features all of the retrospective content from landmark shows and events dating back to the early 90s. Wondering what a vampire stripper slut is? This section is for you.
#WhoIsDiscoDonnie
The #WhoIsDiscoDonnie section has a smorgasbord of features depicting Donnie’s famous personality including his fashion [non]sense, old and new photos from the days of rave, Disco family content, plus features and interviews. Any and all content tagged with #WhoIsDiscoDonnie on Twitter or Instagram will automatically be sent to the page.
Thank You for Making This Year's Day After Festival Unforgettable
We came. We made danced. We conquered! Thank you to everyone who joined us in Panamá this past weekend during the third annual The Day After Festival in Panamá City. From Main Stage digs to the sounds of the underground, we danced and partied nonstop, starting off the new year in proper fashion on an extremely high note!
On Friday, January 16th, we were treated to sets by Tiësto, Art Department, and DVBBS, all making us groove ’til the wee hours of the morning. On Saturday, the sounds of W&W, Claude Vonstroke, and Afrojack guided our steps. And closing out the stellar weekend were massive sets from favorites like Martin Garrix, NERVO, and Borgore who knew exactly how to make sure the crowd was having a good time.
As we close the chapter on this year’s edition, we want to sincerely thank each and every one of you for becoming a part of our family. We hope you enjoyed a little slice of paradise over the incredible long weekend. So THANK YOU again for all of your support. We’ll see you next year!
Share your favorite pictures and moments with us using the #TDA2015 hashtag. Here’s to another stellar year ahead!

'Generate' Love With Eric Prydz and Disco Donnie Presents
“All of the love we generate, the only thing that carries me on. There’s nothing we need that it can’t create…” These lyrics from the soon-to-be-released track “Generate” on Pryda Recordings will ring ever-so-true as Swedish export Eric Prydz gears up for the Generate tour in 2015 under his Pryda alter ego. Though he’s known by many pseudonyms like AxEr, Cirez D, and Sheridan, it is his Pryda moniker that showcases his early house influences with harmonies, melodies, and hooks overtop his trademark power-hungry bass lines – and lest we forget about those infamous Pryda snares.
With early productions dating back to 2002, Eric Prydz has undoubtedly amassed a huge, devoted following worldwide. Whether he’s running three highly-respected labels, Mouseville, Pryda, and Pryda Friends, or releasing underground club hits like “Pjanoo,” “Hit Me With Those Laser Beams” with Green Velvet, or “Allein,” Prydz has developed a sound that has become so influential, it’s no wonder he’s one of the world’s most in-demand spinners and producers.
The Generate tour sees the Swede hitting sixteen dates over the span of a month. Starting up in February through until March, Generate will stop in major cities across the continent, showing off Prydz’s return to his club roots with extended club sets from the progressively-wicked Pryda catalog.

Dance Music Makes a Touchdown at Dallas Cotton Bowl for Something Wonderful
Unlocking a magical new world of life and love, the first-ever Something Wonderful makes a touchdown at the Dallas Cotton Bowl. For one day, the legendary stadium will be transformed to Something Wonderful, a whimsical field of dance music.
Our iconic venue has hosted a world of entertainment in its 80-year history and we are going to break it down for you in a three-part series; beginning with, what else, football!
Are You Ready For Some Football?
There’s two things you don’t mess with – 1. Texas and 2. Something Wonderful’s hometown venue Cotton Bowl Stadium. Originally constructed in 1930, the Fair Park Stadium was renamed the Cotton Bowl six years later. Now a monument to the region’s love of the game, the stadium has housed everything from the FIFA World Cup in 1994, the Dallas Cowboys in the 1960s, the Texas State Fair, and even TV show, Friday Night Lights.
Historically, the gridiron football matches between deep-seated rivals command the stadium’s attention every fall season, with some of the biggest matches being the Red River Showdown, between University of Texas Longhorns and University of Oklahoma Sooners, and the State Fair Classic, pitting the Grambling State University Tigers against the Prairie View A&M University Panthers. The two recurring face-offs are the heart of big Texas spirit and have made this stadium a frequent stop for local and travelling sports fans for many years.
Sports may be the main vein, but come spring, the Cotton Bowl will host a Neverland of fantastic performances from internationally-known DJs when Something Wonderful makes its debut this April 18th. Tickets are now on sale, so grab yours and help make history!
There’s still parts two and three for our Cotton Bowl saga, so follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to stay updated on all the latest announcements!
