How to Enjoy Your First Electronic Music Festival

So, your goal is to go to the epic Tomorrowland in which you saved for it for almost a whole year. You’ve always been a regular at Le Pompon and Le Carmen in Paris and it’s no wonder that you’re always at the middle of the dance floor with the crazy crowd dancing the night away. So it’s high time that you go to your very first electronic dance music festival, don’t you think? Sure, you and about a couple thousand people will be sweaty, dancing in a sea of humans but are you physically and mentally prepared for a real dance music experience?  This is the real deal, the big leagues. You can also check out Marvelous Festival Island in Paris.
If it’s your first time going to an electronic dance festival, it can be quite an experience. Like playing poker, you need to be focused yet flexible when attending one. You can also practice your gaming strategies and skills when you download the newest android app from partypoker français. With its easy to use game interface and interesting game play you can play anytime anywhere with just a swipe of a finger. You can also improve your game play by watching video tutorials online and getting pointers from Antoine Saout during the World Series of Poker tournaments. You can now play poker without the hassle of dressing up and going to a real casino but if you’re looking for the thrill of live poker you can join the tables at Casino Croisette in Cannes. You can become a poker expert in no time and you can even play this on your android phone during your downtime at an electronic dance festival. But first, you need to do your research. Which artists and what dance stages are you going to? Set an itinerary so that you and your friends won’t waste time deciding where to go. Set up a common meeting place where you can rendezvous with your friends after the sets. It’s also important to know what things you’re allowed to bring before you get held up by the security which can be quite embarrassing. You can also check out France’s most famous outdoor music festival, the Rock En Seine.
Most importantly, remember to charge your phone so that you can contact your friends anytime anywhere. Don’t also forget to also charge your camera. It can be a total bummer when you see your favorite DJs play a massive set and then see your camera flicker its last breath of battery life. Drink tons of water, you wouldn’t want to be dehydrated and exhausted from all that dancing you’re going to do. Finally, dress comfortably. You don’t want to have any wardrobe malfunction especially when you’re a girl. You can also check out Pitchfork Music Festival in Paris.

EP: Funk it Up
Artist: Ross Richards
Remixers: Lance Leber, DJ Sulli & 5657
Catalog: BHEP41
Release Date: 18 March 2013

Bounce House Recordings adds another talented artist to the family in Leeds native, Ross Richards. Ross also runs the respected imprint TUG Underground Records with partner Rob Small.  We are pleased to add him to the ever-expanding roster with 2 top original tracks.

The EP title track “Funk it Up” should have mass appeal to a number of different house heads with its swinging baseline and chopped vocals…definitely a party jam.  “Ninja Work” has that sort of groove we just plain ole’ dig at Bounce House.

For remix work, we brought back former label partner Lance Leber to work his magic.  He doesn’t disappoint with a tech-funk groover primed for the late night.

For the main hour, DJ Sulli (Hype n’ Soul Recordings) & 5657 deliver a real chugger that should fill any club’s dance floor.

Beats Me Music boss and UK-native Rob Clarke makes a return to Bounce House with 3 original deep house tracks.  Rob has been spreading his house vibe on a good many labels of late and we are  pleased to have him back.

The title track “Sometimes” is a deep and dark cut that just reels  you in.  He uses a classic vocal with a smooth 4 on the floor beat that had us hooked once we heard it.  “Repeater” and “Solar” showcase his key and synth work in his own unique style.  Solid deep house groovers!

For remix work, we enlisted trusted label pal and 3am Recordings owner Al Bradley.  Al’s remix is spot on, taking “Sometimes” back to an early 90s warehouse party.

DK Watts flips “Sometimes” back a decade further with a very 80s feel.

We have added another hot up-and-comer to our label roster…Wusel (aka Kevin Gorg) from Germany.  His debut release, which Bounce House feels fortunate to have signed, is straight up quality.  Wusel, who is also a trained guitarist, lays downs 3 rollers that showcase his musical talents and melody writing skills.  The EP title track “Dancing Illusions” is a melody-driven groover, which also gets a more classic house do-over from label owner DK Watts. “Desert City” has that killer baseline we at Bounce House dig, while “Irritated” is the perfect track to drop all times of the night.

Massive worldwide support here on this one!  Here’s a few names: (DJ) Gareth Whitehead, Tommy Largo, Kirby, Joey Silvero, Luis Molinari, Oded Nir, Carlo Gambino, Sound Diggers, Tom Gianelli, Lee Guthrie, Rob Clarke, Camouflage, Ceri, Robert Owens, Markus Schulz, Al Bradley, Gavin Boyce, Jota Wagner, CRAM, DJ Hal, DeepShizzol and many, many more!  (RADIO/PRESS) West Radio Greece, Tim Thaler – Berlin FM, Russell Deeks (TIWWD), Christos Kedras – Beat Philosophy, Jason Pepperell – Juice FM, Brighton, Yiannis Dorakis RODON FM, Joan Ribas – Ibiza Global, Louis Hughes – Chicago FM, Shlomi B – Tunnel FM, Advokat – Groove is in the House, DJ Gomes – RPL 99FM Lille, FR, Simon – Deep South Audio, Dave LAW – SOS RAdio London, Bleed – De:Bug.  Thanks everyone!

Out Now on Bounce House!

Bounce House continues its aim of delivering new talent to the forefront of the dance scene. This time we head north to Norway with Iranian born producer Nicky Shah stealing the spotlight. The EP title track Freak (a collaboration with singer and songwriter Beate) is a deep and techy stomper with a main room feel to it. Label boss DK Watts keeps things on the deep tip with a vox remix and a late night dub remix. Easy Ryan (a Bounce House regular) drops the bpm down a bit for a more chilled-out groove.

But it here: Traxsource, BeatPort and Stompy and all your favorite stores worldwide!
