Swedish House Mafia Masquerade Takeover

Swedish House Mafia's swan song parades through Los Angeles in March.  Its called Masquerade Motel, but may as well be a full on music festival with the way it is being marketed.  The acts final west coast performance is a two day extravaganza taking place at L.A.'s State Historic Park near downtown.  



Although Saturday March 9th is already sold out, you can still get tickets to the March 8th show here.  Support performers include Nero, Alesso, Clockwork, Monsta, Zedd, Sub Focus, No_ID and more.  

SUPERGOODMUSIC is hosting a contest for tickets to the show.  We will be sending a lucky winner to night 1 and another lucky winner to night 2 - each with a homie or homette of their choosing.    The way you enter is by emailing contest@supergoodmusic.com, reposting this link on your twitter, facebook or blog and/or tweeting out @supergoodmusic @livenation_LA #SHMcontest.  We will choose winners sometime before March 1st - so the earlier you enter, the better!

Cirque Du Soleil Goes EDM in 2013 with MGM Resorts & The Light Group

Cirque Du Soleil is getting the electronic music facelift in 2013 with the help of The Light Group and MGM Resorts International...and its going to be legit.  

The LIGHT at Mandalay Bay is launching in March 2013 as Cirque Du Soleil's first nightclub venture - entering with all the shock and awe that their numerous productions are known for - including video mapping, lighting and sound and special effects from experts Moment Factory.   The 38,000 square foot venue will "serve as a laboratory, very much like [Cirque Du Soleil's] special events and projects have done int he past, for different and new artistic possibilites," said Gay Laliberte, Founder of Cirque Du Soleil.  Joined by Amy Thomson, manager of Swedish House Mafia, and Light Group founder Andrew Sasson, the trio's joint venture looks to bring theatrical nightlife to a whole new territory in the epicenter of America's wild nightclub scene - Las Vegas.

You might be able to guess what artists are likely in the running to be part of some of the opening nights (ahem - Swedish House Mafia maybe???), but you can check all updates at http://haveyouseenthelight.com as well as the venues social media pages.    It's probably not a bad idea to book a room at Mandalay Bay for every weekend in March - it may give you your best chance at getting to experience The LIGHT!

DIMMAK ROCKS EVERY TUESDAY LIKE NOBODY ELSE DOES...

Check out who is playing in town below - but if you want our advice...just go to Cinespace. Every Tuesday, week in and week out, Dimmak throws it down with some of the best in the business. They had Kid Cudi and Dan Black in but a mere few weeks ago. I was introduced to the awesomeness that is Ebony Bones there...and if you are lucky you've caught people from the Daft Punk crew there before. Plus - there is always the likely Steve Aoki spotting.

Anyhow, we're thinking of going to a comedy club...and then to Cinespace for DIMMAK Tuesdays. Tonight - free drinks at the top of every hour for 5 minutes - so come thirsty (and ready to wait in a line). Resident DJs Them Jeans and Dan Oh will be in full effect - plus some very special guests - one of those being Stereheroes.
