Electric Daisy Carnival Chicago Possible Location?

Alright Fusion listeners…. there has been a lot of speculations on where Electric Daisy Carnival will be held in Chicago.  Since not all of our listeners are from the Chicago-land area, I wanted to shed some light on the possibilities.

EDC Chicago Tweeted on December 13th that the possibility for the the 2013 event could be Soldier Field (On the Chicago Lake Front),  Chicago Land Speedway (50 miles outside the City of Chicago), or Toyota Park (25 Miles outside the City of Chicago).  The EDC Chicago twitter feed did say it confirmed the 300,000+ person venue.  So lets break down which one of these venues could hold that many people.

*Soldier Field’s Capacity is 61,500 people in the stands, its possible for another 5,000 or so to fit on the field.

*Chicago Land Speedway’s Capacity is $75,000 and sits on 930 acres of land which can hold more than 50,000 cars in its parking lots.

*Toyota Park’s Capacity is 28,000 for concerts, and only has a 6,000 car capacity in its 3 parking lots!

If I had to bet on which venue was going to be hosting the 300,000+ person crowd I would say it has to be Chicago Land Speedway!  75,000 people in the stands, room for 50,000 cars, and don’t forget all of the space on the track level.  I guess we will have to wait till January 16th for the final answer to where EDC Chicago will be held.

Check out the Promo video from 2012!

Chicago Welcomes Spring Awakening

I know its really summer that’s around the corner…. I feel like the fest should be called Summer Awakening instead of SPRING Awakening, but whats in a name right? With chart topping names planned to perform this weekend at Solider Field, that is all Chicago needs to know.

The already large city is about to get even bigger with Skrillex, Afrojack, Flux Pavillion, Moby, Wolfgang Gartner, Laidback Luke, Diplo, A-Trak and many more coming to take over.

Chicago’s wild party rockin’ DJ duo comprised of Rick Carrico and Derek Berry – better known as Team Bayside High, are taking Chicago’s party scene by storm. Each and every week, they host the infamous Chi-Town dance party, “Rehab Mondays”, which won “America’s Best Party” by readers of tastemaking New York publication Paper Magazine. TBH are known for their high-octane DJ sets filled with an infectious blend of moombahton, electro, dubstep and everything in between. The duo are sure to bring the heat for the hometown crowd at Spring Awakening for a fresh breath of local talent that is not to be missed.

Who else is gearing up for a weekend full of PARTYING!? I know we are!

Who are you looking forward to seeing at Spring Awakening Music Festival?

One minute there’s not thing going on in the dance fest world, then in the next there’s a million things all in one weekend.

That’s right Fusionites Benny Benassi is going to be rocking House Of Blues June 16th, here’s the tricky part. You HAVE to be attending the Spring Awakening Fest too.

Fusion’s Top 100 Highlights with Lyrics

(Michelle Resendiz)

This year seemed to be the year for dance. I don’t know if it’s of all the remarkable music that I heard on Fusion, or if I just opened my eyes a little more to that world of sound, but this was a great year for Dance Music.I wanted to take a moment to highlight a couple of my faves from this year, and from our Top 100 list of 2011!

Are we all voting for our favorites? I know I will be, but until then… here’s a little treat for all my Fusionites out there. With some bonus song lyrics included (because we all know how much Michelle loves song lyrics!)

Chris Willis

Too much in love

There you are
Walking by like the perfect superstar
Caught me off guard
Didn’t know what to say
Cause the last time you took my breath away
I said that if I ever
See you again
That I wouldn’t let you pass me by
Because I want you to remember
This moment in time
Cause I’m gonna make you mine
Gonna make you mine

Is there any….

Is there anybody in love tonight?
Anybody wanna tell me when it feels just right?
And oh!
I think I found the one tonight!
Give me more than just a touch,
Cause I’m just too much in love!
I’m just too much,
I’m just too much in love!
I think I found the one tonight!
Give me more than just a touch,
Cause I’m just too much in love

Here I am all the man that you say you want
So tell me why you running game
Messin’ with my heart
When you know that I can play that part

I said I said that if I ever
See you again
That I wouldn’t let you pass me by
And I just want you to remember
This moment in time
Cause I’m gonna make you mine
Gonna make you mine

Is there any…

Is there anybody in love tonight?
Anybody wanna tell me when it feels just right?
And oh!
I think I found the one tonight!
Give me more than just a touch,
Cause I’m just too much in love!
I’m just too much,
I’m just too much in love!
I think I found the one tonight!
Give me more than just a touch,
Cause I’m just too much in love
I’m just too much in love!

I think I finally found the one
Said I think I finally found the one
I think I finally found the one
I think I finally finally found the one

Is there any…

Is there anybody in love tonight?
Anybody wanna tell me when it feels just right?
And oh!
I think I found the one tonight!
Give me more than just a touch,
Cause I’m just too much in love!
I’m just too much,
I’m just too much in love!
I think I found the one tonight!
Give me more than just a touch,
Cause I’m just too much in love

Selena Gomez & The Scene

I love you like a love song

It’s been said and done
Every beautiful thought’s been already sung
And I guess right now here’s another one
So your melody will play on and on, with best we own
You are beautiful, like a dream come alive, incredible
A center full of miracle, lyrical
You’ve saved my life again
And I want you to know baby

[Chorus]
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby

And I keep it in re-pe-pe-peat

I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby

And I keep it in re-pe-pe-peat

Cursing me, boy you played through my mind like a symphony
There’s no way to describe what you do to me
You just do to me, what you do
And it feels like I’ve been rescued
I’ve been set free
I am hyptonized by your destiny
You are magical, lyrical, beautiful
You are…I want you to know baby

[Chorus]
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby

And I keep it in re-pe-pe-peat

I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby

And I keep it in re-pe-pe-peat

No one can pause
You stand alone, to every record I own
Music to my hear that’s what you are
A song that goes on and on

[Chorus]
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby

And I keep it in re-pe-pe-peat

I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby

I love you…like a love song…

Benny Benassi

Stereosonic 2011: The Photos

(Michelle Resendiz)

For those of you who don’t know, Stereosonic is a festival that takes place in Australia every year and it’s EPIC. I know a bunch of us here at Fusion that would have loved to go partake in the festivities. Take a look at some of the info on the shows, and some official photos that ended the 2011 tour! Don’t forget the video of epic proportions here on you-tube. There are also tons more photos, and some really great reviews from the festival over at In the Mix that everyone should read.

 

“After two weekends, five festival stops, a string of club shows on the side and countless bottles of Grey Goose, the Stereosonic tour is over for another year. With record numbers rolling up around the country and mostly well-behaved weather, summer arrived in epic fashion. Whether you were stationed at the mainstage, in amongst it at the Bass Arena, or roaming free, everyone’s going to have a different standout.”

With acts that included:

Orchestrated by Hardware and Totem Onelove, Stereosonic is Australia’s fastest growing festival. Billed as ‘Australia’s electronic music festival’, the line-up spans trance, dubstep, house, techno and electronica. Stereosonic falls in late November and early December, travelling to Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane
