The "World's Largest Paint Party" is returning and it's going bigger than ever. This time it will be in the massive Times Union Center in downtown Albany NY on April 12.
We all know how crazy the formerly named "Dayglow" was! Considering how packed the TU was for Pretty Lights this past november, I'm sure we're all in for a massive banger this April.
Pretty Lights @ Times Union Center - Albany 11-3-12

Don't wait until the price goes up....grab those Early Bird Tix TODAY!
That's right no need to rub your eyes, you've read the title correctly! Designer Drugs is coming to the quaint venue in Albany called Fuze Box and Tickets are still available! This unique little venue looks like a retro dinner from the outside but in reality its a staple for live music and EDM in the 518.
This time PeepThis has pulled some strings and have secured Designer Drugs for a once in a lifetime VIP experience. You will be guaranteed a 50' or less viewing area from on of the OG's of Dirty Electro.
Quick Bio: Ask the DJ/production duo DESIGNER DRUGS how many air miles they’ve logged over the past year and the answer requires more than a bit of calculating. “Over 300,000,” Michael Vincent Patrick referencing numerous spots around the world where the group has performed. “I have a really nice apartment in New York City, but I’ve only been there three days this month.”
It’s a testament both to the duo’s popularity and work ethic that that number may become the annual norm. After nearly 50 remixes for everyone from Mariah Carey to Annie to Thieves Like Us, the diverse electronic group, comprised of Patrick and Theodore Paul Nelson, is set to release their debut album HARDCORE/SOFTCORE on Ultra Records in February 2011.
Where past productions and remixes have been on the poppier end of the musical spectrum, Hardcore conjures up a darker, edgier vibe – think the throbbing, industrial-heavy opening club scene in “The Doom Generation” – yet still retains a melodic center on many of the tracks. “I think we’re making music for the apocalypse,” says Michael, only half-joking. “The state of society is at a place where people just don’t give a fuck and that’s what inspires our music.”
School hasn’t stopped the group from putting on memorable live sets as much as possible. Spend a few minutes at one of DESIGNER DRUGS’ live shows and you’ll see the normally humble pair, spurred on by the intense energy of their music, transform into a different beast. “It gets pretty wild,” admits Michael. “Even though we’re mellow, there’s lots of stage diving and almost slam dancing. It’s next level dance club shit that almost morphs into that ‘90s hardcore/punk vibe.”
As you know the capacity at Fuze Box is very limited so tickets will sell out fast. A very limited amount of tickets will be saved for day of ticket sales. They will only be available at the door starting at 8pm on February 15th '13.

Special thanks to 51Bass for their generosity and allowing for this event to take place.
At PeepThis we not only book Bass Heavy artists like 12th Planet we also scour the interwebs for upcoming indie talent. I was recently fumbling through my favorite blogs and I stumbled upon an amazing group of French Artists, Composers, Live Musicians, and Remixers. Their new track "Begging For Trouble" is an amazing vibe-a-licious track with a brand new music video! PeepThis:
The new EP drops next month so make sure to start following my new Peeps:
Steve Aoki is known for his unpredictable and entertaining performances. His crowds can expect to have champagne sprayed onto them while dancing in a sea of fans at his incredible show of electronic dance music. In the past, Steve Aoki has worked with Duran Duran, Gaga, Drake and Kid Cudi. You will get a taste of Steve Aoki’s work on Travis Barker’s “Misfits” and LMFAO’s “Livin’ My Love.” There is no sign of Steve Aoki slowing down; the sky’s the limit.
Aoki’s It’s the End of the World as We Know It Aoki’s “It’s the End of the World as We Know It” is an example of his flexibility to produce outside of mainstream EDM. The EP features three popular releases such as Singularity featuring My Name is Kay and Angger Dimas, and Omega featuring Don Senna and Miss Palmer, and Transcend featuring Rune RK. These tracks feed energy to the crowd.
Aoki’s Background Born in Miami, Aoki spent most of his childhood in Newport Beach. Aoki attended the University of California in Santa Barbara. He earned a degree in Women’s Studies and in Sociology. While at college, he hosted concerts in the Santa Barbara Student Housing Cooperative. By the end of his early twenties, Aoki had started his own record label, Dim Mak Records.
Steve Aoki’s next performance will be with the Winter White Tour on January 31st, at Turning Stone Resort in Verona, NY. As far as New York entertainment goes, this is a show east-coasters will want to make the trip for.
Performing along with Steve Aoki will be Mat Zo, DSK CHK, and DVDJ Dread. You can buy tickets through ticketmaster
