The Gift is this Thursday and procrastinators be warned! You only have a few day hours before the event starts to enjoy a reduced ticket pricing before the increase on Wednesday, December 25th at midnight. So buy your tickets today to lock in the best price. With deadmau5 headlining the spectacle event along with Adventure Club, NERVO, GTA and Nom De Strip, you definitely don’t want to miss out on this one.
The Gift talent Nom De Strip has continued to be a magnet for large audiences throughout the years with his many music accomplishments and quick wit. Trailblazing through the Nom solo project, he remains a respected artist within the music industry as he continues to evolve his sound.
Born Chris Elliot in Edinburgh, Scotland, the acclaimed producer submerged himself in music at an early age, “I’ve always had a thing for music; I played the guitar and piano for years before I got into dance music thanks to the The Prodigy, Music For The Jilted Generation. I got my first awful belt drive turntables aged 16 and went from there.” His hometown also provided some musical education during his formative years, “Edinburgh had a great nightlife at the time and I had a great circle of friends who all had similar tastes. I got to see all my fav DJs [like] Green Velvet, Jon Carter, and Timo Maas from a young age, which only served to fan the fire of inspiration.”
Armed with ambition to create a career path of his own, Elliot started producing everything from electro, techno, disco, and everything in between until eventually meeting Tod Hodge in 2005. The two released a handful of tracks under duo Stupid Fresh before splitting amicably a few years later. Since the launch of Elliot’s solo project as Nom De Strip in 2009, the talented producer garnered much recognition for his Clouds Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 EPs.
In 2012, Nom De Strip’s success grew after releasing various underground hits under deadmau5’s successful mau5trap imprint. Nom’s remix of Tommy Trash’s “Monkey See Monkey Do” only helped solidify his ranks in the music industry. Not only were music fans infatuated by his unique style, but leading artists such as Tiësto, Wolfgang Gartner and Dirty South began publicly supporting the artist which ultimately led to his next accomplishment.
In 2013, house music veteran Chris Lake jumped at the chance to sign Nom to his Rising Music label. The pairing couldn’t be more ideal as Nom has released hit tracks “Devil’s BBQ” with Nezzo and “Nippleodeon” with Hatiras, “I was influenced by some of the Dutch guys, Bart B More, Laidback Luke, Afrojack, I’ve always been a big fan of Hot Mouth, Hatiras, Chis Lake, and new guys like Harvard Bass were, and still are, rocking my ears off.”
With 2014 just right around the corner, this producer is closing out 2013 with “Minerals,” a collaboration with Congrorock. We’re sure you’ll hear this track when Nom De Strip makes his way to the Raymond James Stadium for The Gift on Thursday, December 26th.

The inaugural edition of Tampa’s The Gift is right around the corner and we are about to have the time of our lives! But before we get down to the sounds of deadmau5 (unhooked) closing out our main stage, we’ve got some helpful tips and information to make sure you and your friends stay safe and responsible at this year’s spectacle event.
There will be a lot of dancing come Thursday, December 26th and sometimes people will get sick from overheating and dehydration. We encourage you to drink lots of water, but remember drinking too much water can be dangerous!
Accidents surrounding music events have been associated with low levels of electrolytes that are lost, along with water, when one becomes dehydrated. Such low levels of electrolytes, especially salt, can lead to brain swelling, seizures, heart problems and even death.
So be sure to alternate between water and sports drinks that will naturally be provided for you. Gatorade will be made available upon request at information and medical booths located throughout the festival grounds.
We will have world renowned acts pumping great music all night, so be sure to wear something comfortable, lightweight and easy to dance in. Dark colors absorb heat rays, so avoid wearing all dark clothes. You should also steer away from heavy fabrics and faux furs, always remembering that comfortable tennis shoes are the best option on the dance floor.
The Gift is set to draw in thousands of amazing people from all over the region so it could be really easy to get separated from your group. Always keep track of where your friends are by setting up meeting points and sticking together.
Look out for one another. If you and your friends have been sweating, grab some water for the group to replenish nutrients lost – you can’t live off dancing alone. We will have personnel stationed around the festival, so be sure to ask for help if you or one of your friends needs it.
Medical personnel will not only be readily accessible but ready to assist you at any time in the medical tent. From Band-Aids to aspirin, assistance is available to you should you need anything at all. Gatorade will also be made available upon request.
If you are feeling unwell, seek medical attention immediately. Your health and safety is more important than waiting for the drop.
There are plenty of ways to stay safe at The Gift this year, so don’t miss out on your chance to go. Tickets are still available, buy your tickets today!

With pioneering artist deadmau5 (unhooked) set to headline The Gift, it’s no wonder tickets have been flying off the shelves ever since they went on sale.

Capacity for this winter wonderland is limited and keep in mind, prices will only increase as we power through the remaining weeks of December.

If you haven’t secured your entry to the celebration yet, you’re in luck! Tickets are still available online, so grab your today before the event on Thursday, December 26th.
Today, we have a special edition of The Gift’s Weekend Warriors as we countdown the final days until the spectacle event. There isn’t a shortage of free music on the interwebs – even when we don’t count all the not-so-legal stuff. So to switch things up a bit, we found a ton of free (and legal) downloads from our amazing lineup to power through your weekend.
This is our favorite edit of this track and an extended mix is just what the doctor ordered. Download on Soundcloud below.

The juxtaposition of soft vocals and strings with a dirty grime is all we needed to fall in love with this track.

Don’t let the melodic synth pads in the intro fool you. This song gets dirty.

A trap house usually has one meaning – unless it’s describing this song then in that case, it means the track is both house and trap.

We’ve made contact… and it’s freakin’ awesome!

The best part about this dance-ready song, is that it’s about three songs in one. We love the rework of Missy Elliot’s classic.

The title pretty much gives this track away, but it doesn’t make this song any less awesome.

If you’re in a need of an afternoon pick me up, look no further. There are funky, feel good vibes just pouring from this free track.

Tampa’s inaugural spectacle event The Gift is almost upon us and if you haven’t bought your ticket yet, some might be available at the door — but we highly recommend you purchase your tickets ahead of time.
Please steer clear of frauds and scalpers, we’d hate for anyone to miss out on the fun because of an invalid ticket. That being said, we have a few other guidelines and reminders to make sure you have the best holiday experience at The Gift.
The use or possession of any illegal drugs or substances will not be tolerated — either inside or outside the venue. If you are found inebriated at the entrance, security will not allow you to enter the festival. Event staff reserves the right of admittance refusal.
Please bring a big smile and be prepared to enjoy the full The Gift experience — the people, music and dancing.
Everyone will be searched upon entrance to the venue. You will need to empty your pockets and have all items examined. We reserve the right to refuse entry to anyone.
For patrons who are 21 and older, a selection of mixed drinks and cold beer will be served at the bars located throughout the Gift grounds.
An assorted menu will be available for purchase at the Fieldhouse Bar & Grill. Menu items will also be offered at various stations around the venue.
The Gift featuring deadmau5 (unhooked) is right around the corner and will soon take over Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium next week on Thursday, December 26th.
For today’s Gift Drop, the revolution will be televised with one of our duos and recent lineup addition releasing a killer EP.
Tickets for The Gift are still available online so grab your tickets today!
Hot of the heels of their world wide smash hit “Revolution,” The Gift duo NERVO alongside R3hab and Ummet Ozcan are keeping the momentum with some visual stimulation.
Back in November, the Aussie sisters had an open casting call in Los Angeles looking for 10 and 15 fans to be extras in the music video. Premiering on Dancing Astronaut, the official music video for “Revolution” is a great accompaniment to the Beatport chart-topping hit. The selected fans joined the four artists in a desert showdown between some hologram infantrymen. By the end of the video, you’ll definitely want to start a revolution.
Nerd Rage has had a very eventful year turning out originals and remixes left and right with tracks like “Power Treaty” and OCTiV’s “Fatality.” So it comes as no surprise that he would close out 2013 with a bang – or some bangers.
Out on the Subhuman imprint, Nerd Rage released two high energy tracks on the Horns Up EP. The title track “Horns Up (The Movement)” is relentless often changing between drumstep and drum and bass. Ridden with rock and metal influences, “Horns Up” needs to be played loud. The second track “Yeah Right” switches the tempo to 128 BPM but never relinquishes any intensity. With bleeps and 8-bits soaked in the in-your-face tune, this song does not disappoint.
Grab the Horns Up EP today – we bet you’ll hear it when Nerd Rage performs at The Gift.
