We’re about to take our music to the streets for the Mad Decent Block Party in Dallas this Saturday, August 31st. But before we get free and express ourselves, we need to protect ourselves.

While we’re dancing to artists like Major Lazer, Dillon Francis, Flosstradamus, the heat index in Dallas is expected to reach up to 104 degrees. We know we don’t need to remind you of how the sun can drain the body, so if you’re wondering what you can do to stay cool while you’re walking and dancing outside all day, we’ve got you covered…

• Stay hydrated by keeping a filled water bottle with you at all times.
• Look out for one another. If you and your friends have been sweating, grab some waters for the group to replenish nutrients.
• Enjoy our misting station.
• Dark colors absorb heat rays, so avoid wearing all dark clothes.

There are plenty of ways to stay cool at the Mad Decent Block Party in Dallas this year, so don’t miss out on your chance to go. Grab your tickets today!

Though once a pop-up celebration, the Mad Decent Block Party has grown into an awesomely ruckus traveling festival, bringing all-day performances and activities. This year, the tour will go to 13 cities all across the country with artists like Major Lazer, Dillon Francis, Flosstradamus and so many more. Disco Donnie Presents is excited to get free with Diplo and his crew at Club Zouk in Dallas on August 31st.

Disco Donnie Presents is excited to announce that we are hitting the road with one of the pioneers of trance, Paul van Dyk and coming to a city near you. Whether you are a recent dance music fan, or a long-time veteran, Paul van Dyk is a name that is near impossible to overlook. Having spent the majority of his adult life being a DJ, 2013 has seen the talent avidly touring across the world, infecting a new generation with his euphoric sound. As an artist, his milestones are to be commended. Like being one of the first artists to receive a Grammy nomination in the then newly created Best Dance/Electronic album category for instance. His world-renowned podcast Vonyc Sessions has been showing off Paul’s knack for selecting tracks that can energize any dancefloor for over six years. Through it all, Paul has become a permanent staple in the higher rankings of our community.

Though his first-ever release was in 1994, the East Berlin native shows no signs of slowing down. His latest single, “We Are One 2013,” is a track that exemplifies exactly what the world has come to love about Paul. The synths on this release incorporate a high-energy pandemic with loads of pitch-bending drops. We’re sure you’ll get to hear this euphoric banger on the road when we bring Paul van Dyk to a city near you.

Join us on our partnering dates:

• Paul van Dyk in Cleveland, OH on Wednesday, August 7
• Paul van Dyk in Orlando, FL on Thursday, August 8
• Paul van Dyk in Tampa, FL on Saturday, August 10

Bro Safari is infecting a new generation of bass heads with his unique take on the moombahton and trap. Born Nick Weiller, and also known by his alternate DJ and producing moniker Knick, Weiller has already become deeply rooted in the dance music scene due to his work as a part of the pioneering american drum and bass group, Evol Intent and half of the omni-genred duo Ludachrist. His production as Bro Safari has spanned across all avenues of bass, grabbing the attention of Diplo, DJ Craze, Knife Party, and now, Disco Donnie Presents.

Award-winning DJ, producer, musician, label manager and #6 ranked in the DJ Mag Top 100, Hardwell has certainly left a lasting impression on the dance music industry. The 25 year old heavyweight Robbert van de Corput hails from Breda, Netherlands like his mentor Tiësto. When he was just 13, Hardwell was signed to a major Dutch label, spinning at all the major clubs across the Netherlands.

Hardwell first caught international success in 2009 with his “Show Me Love vs. Be” bootleg, which was one of the most popular and played dance hits of the year. In 2011 his hit “Zero 76” with Tiësto topped the #1 Beatport and #1 US iTunes spot, laying the foundation to become the established veteran he is today. Now with respected label Revealed Recordings under his belt and radio show/podcast Hardwell On Air that is broadcasted on more than 25 international radio stations, it’s easy to see why Hardwell has created the ultimate recipe for big room house, utilizing complex drum layers, bold synth structures, and emotive chords.

With a current tour diary that spans all over Europe, Asia, and multiple shows in the United States, Disco Donnie Presents is excited to bring Hardwell and fellow Dutchman, producer and mash-up maestro Dannic south of the border as they gear up for a Mexico tour with dates in October and November.

Join us on our partnering dates:

Joshua Steele, who has been working as Flux Pavilion since his first single in 2008, has had a whirlwind of added success within the past year. His smash hit released in 2012 “I Can’t Stop” was sampled by everyone in the entertainment industry, landing in multiple commercials, a Kanye West and Jay Z track, and even in some TV show soundtracks. And with his critically-acclaimed recent release with Childish Gambino in “Do Or Die” and his remix EP of Blow The Roof due out soon, Flux Pavilion certainly keeps his hands busy.

Self-made trio Krewella are undeniably one of the hottest acts out right now. From their early beginnings at underground raves in the warehouses of Chicago, sisters Jahan and Yasmine Yousaf and producer Kris “Rain Man” Trindl first burst onto the scene in 2011. Though they garnered a substantial following for their unique blend of electro house, dubstep, and lyrics, it would skyrocket after they self-released their critically acclaimed Play Hard EP in the summer of 2012. The extended player hit #1 on the Beatport charts and the single “Alive” went to #1 on Billboard’s Dance Radio Airplay.

And although it hasn’t even been a year since the success of that release, Krewella has gone on to headline and sell out shows and festivals around the world and also won the IDMA for “Best Breakthrough Artist.” Even Billboard said, “Krewella will be huge this year.”

As the trio prepares to release their first full-length album Get Wet on Columbia Records in September, we are excited to be a part of the Krewlife as Disco Donnie Presents will be bringing Krewella’s Get Wet Live Tour to a city near you. Adding support to the impending fall tour are fresh talents Seven Lions and Candyland.

Paul Rose’s output as Scuba has been classified under many styles. Getting an early jumpstart, Scuba has submersed himself (no pun intended) in all aspects of music. “I played in bands from quite a young age. I played guitar and keyboards and various other things. I was quite into guitar-playing, but I always more into writing music than playing it, from quite early on…So I did the band thing for a while, had some bad band experiences, as lots of people have, and I guess I gradually got into electronic music by the typical route really — started going out and going to clubs and gradually got into the music as well as the going out part of it.” DJ, producer and promoter, Scuba sunk his teeth into jungle and techno in London, and eventually became involved with local pirate radio and participated in some of the city’s biggest club nights.

Having founded the Hotflush imprint early in his career, the label has been home to most of his releases. Though his initial productions were primarily dark, spacious dubstep tracks, but he developed a looser, funkier, and melodic approach to his sound, while simultaneously using his SCB alias for his house and techno releases. After cementing his and the label’s name in the London scene, Scuba relocated to Berlin in 2007. His debut album A Mutual Antipathy released a year after his move, showcased the then unheard of marriage of techno and dubstep. His second album, Triangulation explored a wider range of styles, featuring not only dubstep and techno, but relaxed house and minimal drum and bass.

Currently, you can find Scuba holding down a number of gigs all around the world. His recent mixes for Ibizia Spotlight highlight just how well Scuba has continuously evolved and remastered his sound. With a knack to take any dance floor on a uniquely innovative journey, Scuba has undeniably become a key figure for the current pulse of Europe’s music trends. We’re sure you’ll get a truly one-of-a-kind experience when Scuba takes the stage at Sun City Music Festival, going down on August 31st and September 1st.
