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.

For this final edition of the Sun City drop, we’ve got a debut release and remixes from another planet.

Le Castle Vania readies for his debut EP on Mau5trap Recordings

A few weeks ago, Deadmau5 announced that Sun City talent Le Castle Vania is the latest addition to his label, mau5trap. With a clever ability to combine his rock and metal influences, the Atlanta-based producer is gearing up to release his debut EP Prophication.

The release features metal-electro influenced track “Intro,” “Raise the Dead,” which has Cory Brandan on vocals, Ming and Lena Wolf appear on “Disintegration,” and “Incarnation” closes out the gritty release. Due out on September 2nd, we feel fairly certain you’ll hear some of these track when Le Castle Vania performs at Sun City Music Festival, going down this Saturday and Sunday. Buy your tickets before it’s too late!

GTA to release remix of “Saturn” by Kill the Noise on OWSLA

The Miami-native genre-benders GTA have steadily been making a name for themselves as “Remixers of the Road.” The duo have seen success with edits for the likes of Kaskade, Kylie Minogue and most recently, Calvin Harris, all while continuing to tour across the world.

The latest project to join their remixing road-trip is their remix of Kill the Noise’s “Saturn.” Due out on the Black Magic Remixed EP on OWSLA on September 9th, GTA’s edit takes on one of the most-respected releases of 2012 for the imprint.

Their eclectic sound can be heard throughout the track and is chock-full of distorted wobbles and driving bass lines that compliment the voices of Brillz and Minxx.
