7) Maya Jane Coles
When: Day 2 at 7:00 PM
Where: Beatport Stage
Get to the festival grounds before sundown on the second day, because deep house goddess Maya Jane Coles’ soothing set on the Beatport stage will prepare you for the barrage of clicks and chirps that all the techno selectors will blast into your eardrums over the course of the night.
Coles represents a younger segment of the underground, hailing from London where proper house never goes out of style, and her set will definitely be worth catching.
6) Dog Blood (Skrillex and Boys Noize)
When: Day 2 at 10:30 PM
Where: Movement Stage
If you’re the kind of elitist who opens listicles like these just to pick one bullet and tear it apart in the comments, then congratulations! This is the entry you’ve been looking for.
Yes, we’re going to tell you to go out of your way to see Skrillex at a festival full of off-the-beaten-path techno producers – and the reason for that is that he’ll be accompanied by none other than OWSLA mainstay Boys Noize.
Long before good ol’ Skrilly Vanilli ever resigned himself to the big, farty trap music that he and Diplo put out as Jack Ü, he brought some electro heat to the techy, breaksy mixes that made Boys Noize famous under the stage name Dog Blood.
Trust us, you’ll be missing out if you don’t make it to Movement Stage before Midnight on the second day to catch their set.
