Spring may have just sprung, but we are already looking forward to what’s on the horizon for the summer of 2013. Disco Donnie Presents is excited to partner up with Mexico’s Alive Entertainment for the Alive Summer Sessions. To kick off the series this year and to show our gratitude for all of your continued support, we are throwing two FREE events in Monterrey and Guadalajara with legendary pioneer, producer, and DJ, Paul Oakenfold. See you on the dance floor soon, Mexico!
We love how Meltdown Music Festival‘s lineup is so uniquely diverse. With different genres swarming around our list of talented acts, the one common bond tying them all together is a love of music. That love will take us down the longest road this Saturday when “We Are Finally All Together” at Le Grave Field in Fort Worth. Have you bought your passes yet?
One Meltdown artist who embraces that love of music, is Morgan Page. Page’s style has always been distinct. Pairing pop lyrics over his progressive synths and pounding four-to-the-floor beats, Page’s unique sound strikes a chord in the hearts of both dance music veterans and newcomers. Coming a long way from his log cabin home in Burlington, Vermont, Page has been nominated for two Grammy Awards and five International Dance Music Awards throughout the span of his career. A career that began from humble beginnings, Page started producing electronic music from the age of 12. His early exposure to the genre was inspired by local college radio station WRUV 90.1. Page later become a DJ at that very radio station, hosting a weekly mix show that introduced him to the wide variety of electronic music that came by the box-load.
Page began a steady release schedule after taking an internship at record label, Plastic City. From 2000 through 2006, a handful of 12″ singles scattered about on labels like Bedrock, Nordic Trax, Fiji, and Saw. Nettwerk Records, his current home stay, went on to sign Page for his 2008 release, Elevate, which featured songs like “Longest Road.” Elevate definitely established Page as one of the top talents of our generation’s list of dance music producers.
Now, with three studio albums, successful podcast, and sold-out shows around the world under his belt, Morgan Page is a name that isn’t going any where anytime soon. We can’t wait to have another night out on Meltdown’s dance floor this Saturday, April 27th.

Though one of our Magnetic Music Festival artists is known for remixes of popular rock songs, and the other, for their bassmentality, the sound clash for Tommie Sunshie and Zeds Dead poses as a very interesting one. Although the total number of years active in the music industry between the two is quite varied, both acts have used their prowess to educate and/or benefit the the general public on behalf of the dance music scene.
Tommie Sunshine has always been ahed of the curve. Born Thomas Lorello, Sunshine has been the go-to source for everything dance music related and DJed everywhere from dirty dive bars to the Guggenheim Museum. He is a producer, sought after remixer, DJ and songwriter and he has been deeply rooted in the dance music industry for over 20 years.
Born in the birthplace of house music, Chicago, the now Brooklyn resident is known for a lot of things, but perhaps he is best known for his remixes of popular rock or pop songs for the likes Fall Out Boy, Kelis, Shiny Toy Guns, Yoko Ono, and Katy Perry. He is also known for his long-standing history with the rave scene in the Midwest, which in turn has helped him become a vital asset for anyone who’s wanted to know more about the underground dance music culture. Sunshine has made an appearance on Peter Jennings Reporting on ABC, two separate BBC documentaries on House Music, and even makes a cameo on the rave DVD release, “Rise,” a documentary about our very own Disco Donnie.
Today, you can read up on the state of dance music culture via Tommie’s column on the Huffington Post, or get down to his work alongside The Disco Fries and the outfit he’s in with Bart B More and RipTidE under the moniker Horsepower. Or, you can grab your tickets and see Tommie Sunshine at the Magnetic Music Festival!
“Zed’s dead baby. Zed’s dead” Actually, Zed is alive and well thanks to DC and Hooks, the two men behind Canadian outfit Zeds Dead. Known for their crazily catchy bass-influenced tunes, the two originally began making beats that were heavily hip-hop influenced. Forming the summer of 2009 the boys’ first showcased their tracks at their debut performance at The Social and about a year later, were booked weekly for a gig called “Bassmentality.”
The two have come a long way considering they just kicked off their world tour last month and have an impending performance in June in Afghanistan alongside Kid Rock and Garth Brooks, representing for dance music and performing for the troops. We can’t wait to get ratchet with Zeds Dead as they take the stage at this year’s Magnetic Music Festival. General admission and VIP tickets are now available, buy your tickets now!
The Dirtyphonics sound is a difficult one to try and shove into one category, but it is an easy one to identify. Collectively, the group states, “We don’t follow rules, we create them.” Unlike a lot of modern dubstep being created today, members Charly, Thomas, Julien, and Pitchin provide an excellent balance of bass music, drum n’ bass, dubstep, and electro with grimy energy.
The French quartet cite Metallica and Korn as influences to their sound as quickly as they do Daft Punk and Pendulum. Though the boys come from a predominantly “rock ‘n’ roll” background, with most of them having played in metal bands, they have never been ones to follow any rules or guidelines in regards to making music. Charly states, “Our sound was always meant to be powerful, high-impact, and precise. From the day we’ve started, we’ve challenged ourselves to create something new – we love to push boundaries.”
You will definitely have the chance to have your boundaries pushed, as Disco Donnie Presents is excited to announce they are bringing the outfit to a city near you.
Join us on our partnering dates:
Producer, DJ, rapper/singer, and self-proclaimed ruiner of dubstep, Borgore is already taking 2013’s bass movement by storm.

Although Meltdown Music Festival is rapidly approaching, it feels like April 27th can’t come quickly enough. This year’s lineup is packed with some of the most talented and diverse artists around the world, making 2013’s “We Are All Together” theme perfect in every way! Remember, the earlier you grab tickets, the better! You surely will not want to miss any sets from the many dance music veterans gracing the bill, like the tenacious Bro Safari.
Nick Weiller, also known by his alternate DJ and producing moniker, Knick, has already established deep roots in the 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 spans across all avenues of bass, grabbing the attention of Diplo, DJ Craze, and Knife Party.
Currently, Bro Safari is infecting a new generation of bass heads with his unique take on the moombahton and trap styles. And you can see him do just that, as he takes the stage at the 2013 Meltdown Music Festival. Tickets are still available online.

“Scott was an extremely multi-talented artist, and above all, a great person. His mark on DJ culture is undeniable and we’re going to miss him very much.”
-Donnie Estopinal
Donnie and the Disco Donnie Presents team are deeply saddened by the loss of Scott Hardkiss, a true originator of American electronic dance music.
From underground events in forests, on the beach, or under the desert sky, Scott made an indelible mark on music and was one third of the beloved ’90s SF rave trio Hardkiss, along with Gavin and Robbie.
Together, they helped define the San Francisco rave soundâ€â€a mix of house, techno, breaks, and of course, plenty of psychedelica.
Scott’s contribution to DJ culture will surely be mourned, but it is his heart and spirit that will never fade.
From all of us at the Disco Donnie Presents team, may you rest in peace Scott.
Spanning over 100 cities across the globe, Disco Presents produces over 1,000 club events, arena shows, and outdoor festivals each year.
