9) Carl Craig and “Mad” Mike Banks
When: Day 1 at 10:00 PM
Where: Thump Stage
If you wander over to the Thump stage next and hear somebody reference “Sandstorms,” know in advance that they’re probably not talking about “Sandstorm” by Darude (or as we like to call it, the “Freebird” of dance music). The former track is a timeless release by the legendary Carl Craig, another second waver who will be joined behind the decks by Underground Resistance label founder “Mad” Mike Banks.
8) Tuskegee (Seth Troxler B2B The Martinez Brothers)
When: Day 1 at 10:30 PM
Where: Beatport Stage
Even though his particular brand of techno might sound especially sterile to the untrained ear, the amount of time Seth Troxler spends bashing the mainstream gives him more underground credentials than the longest, rattiest beard ever could. Besides, the sexy house sensibilities of Brooklyn-based Martinez Brothers will provide a perfect counterbalance since the two acts will trade off song selection as their group side project, Tuskegee.
