Now that we have revealed our full lineup for Houston’s premier Halloween event Something Wicked, we can start delivering news from our talented roster before the anticipated event happening on Saturday, October 26th.
For our first edition of the Something Wicked drop, we’ve got one of our bass acts giving away free music and one of our trance acts using their gifts to give back to the community.
Figure gives away his latest single “War Call”
Something Wicked talent Figure has been a staple to the bass music scene for quite some time now. With his Horns of the Apocalypse EP due out on OWSLA on September 10th, Figure released the first single off the upcoming six-song EP yesterday.
“War Call,” featuring the infamous rapper Del The Funky Homosapien, is one of the tracks on the EP that gives us some of Figure’s signature head-pounding dubstep sound.
The EP shows Figure’s sound evolving and taking on that four-to-the-floor style with as exemplified by the track “Eagle” on the same release. We hope to get a taste of the new style when Figure makes his way to Something Wicked. Buy your tickets today!

Cosmic Gate chosen to to be part of Pioneer DJ’s ‘DJ Art Mix 2013’
Last week, Pioneer Electronics announced the return of the second Pioneer DJ Art Mix Tour. The tour is a unique fundraising program that pairs many of the world’s best DJs, urban artists and designers together to create original works of art. Not on a canvas or piece of paper, the artists will be working on the industry standard CDJ-2000’s. Pioneer’s director of marketing David Arevalo says, “We’re extremely excited to have the next set of DJs and artists as well as today’s popular brands participate in this worthy cause, and with their help, we can significantly expand our reach and raise even more money than our first event.”
Cosmic Gate, along with many others like Kaskade, Zedd, and James Zabiela, will each receive one CDJ-2000 to paint, design, sculpt or otherwise decorate it to their liking as a representation of their own customized work of art. Pioneer will hold a one-day public exhibition for the art pieces on Thursday, October 10th at Downtown Los Angeles Art Walk and will include music, special appearances and art exhibitions. After the event, there will be a special month-long online auction for the collection with the proceeds going to the VH1 Save The Music® Foundation to restore music education programs in public schools.
We love that the boys are giving back to music education – it makes us that much more excited to celebrate this October 26th. Have you bought tickets yet?
