You knew something awesome was coming up when you saw the stage hands set up Delong’s massive stage set. I’m taking 2 computers, samplers, keyboards, a full drum kit, even a game joystick which took dubstep to another level. The lights went down and the sound came up and there was Delong started his set, couldn’t stop feeling the vibe up till the last note. Check out some footage from the show below.

What a great time Lollapalooza was. Chicago is a really fun city that is definitely worth checking out if you get out there. Below are some highlights and let downs from the weekend.

enjoY!

———————————–

Friday

Highlights:

Foster The People. They were really fricking good, I didn’t know what to expect from their live show considering how crazy popular they are, but they did not let down at all, from beginning to end…dance party.

A Perfect Circle. It was nice to see Tool frontman re unite with his other band to perform some tunes that I haven’t listened to in years. What was really cool was the cover they did of John Lennon’s “Imagine” to open their set

Muse: OMFG. This is the first time I have actually checked out a Muse show from beginning to end and man was I blown away, I should have done this a while ago. Their set was fucking unbelievable with the crazy lighted panels and lasers. And boy oh boy does frontman Matthew Bellamy know how to wail on that guitar/piano–he is a really good musician. We were rocking till the end.

Let Downs:

Cults. Ehh

Crystal Castles. Was not impressed at all. I thought they actually sucked live and was shocked they had such a prime time slot. I feel like their music isn’t really main stage Lollapalooza material. They definitely should have performed in Perry’s Tent (electronic stage).

Saturaday

Highlights:

Friendly Fires. They guys rocked out, especially frontman Ed Macfarlane, he is a dancing machine that had all the ladies talking.Their show was very energetic. It even included  frontman Macfarlane jumping into the crowd and singing out right next to the people who got them there

Lykke Li. Delicate Sweet, beautiful voice, everything you would expect from someone like her.

Eminem. It was great to see this guy perform again. The last time I saw him I was 16 years old, he was doing the Anger Management tour with Limp Bizkit and Papa Roch. He played a whole bunch of his old stuff, which was nice and weird considering that these were the songs on our Discamans’ 13 years ago. One thing I did notice , especially when he played his new stuff, was that his sound and production work has changed so dramatically from where he started. In the beginning Slim Shady and Marshall Mathers were innovative LPs’ that were pushing the boundaries of hip hop, now it seems like he is pumping out generic pop-rap music with some other artist for the hook, the same stuff we hear every day. He is a performer though, and a performance is what he did.

Let Downs:

DFA 1979. They should stick to MSTRKRFT.

Deftones: I thought that they would be a great watch, but I was disappointed. It just wasn’t 2000 anymore

Cee-Lo Green. The biggest let down by far. He came out with an all-girl band engrossed in a crazy outfit that reminded me of tupac in “California Love.” His performance was so bad that he left the stage with 15 minutes left in his set. His DJ sucked, she was way off in her mixing, and he seemed to perform a medley of  covers that were just not vibing with the crowd. Of course people loved “Fuck you.”

Sunday

Highlights:

Gold Motel. These Chicago natives were so happy to finally play Lollapalooza in their home town. I have seen them a few times now and their cutesy indie-pop gets better each time.

Imlada May. This Irish aritst, currently signed to Deca records, rocked the afternoon listeners with her blend of rockabilly. She ended the set with a very interactive version of “Tainted Love” that had the whole crowd singing.

Cage the Elephant. This group is a personal favorite of mine and their whole set had so much energy. The only crappy thing was that is started to pour half way through their set drenching the whole park and its inhabitants. Can you say holy mud?

Deadmau5. What a show. Lasers, big, lighted mouse heads and a sea of people lit up with neon graced the north stage for the last show of the festival. His music is so hypnotic when you hear it in an open aired environment.

Let Downs:

None

Anticipation was the mood of the evening as a line of fans, bloggers, press and some of my friends queued up in front of Mercury Lounge this past Tuesday. The house was packed solid in time for the debut New York City performance of Malaysian singer-songwriter Yuna.

The NYC blogosphere had already been buzzing about her. Having heard of Yuna during my days in Malaysia, I was well acquainted with her mesmerizing music and managed – without much effort – to get many of my non-Malaysian New York friends to become totally obsessed with her music (she is a publicist’s dream).

Backed with only a bassist and keyboardist, Yuna’s vocals and storytelling were front and center in her five-song set. She ended it with a crowd favorite, “Decorate”, and made good on her promise – or hopes – to “take over the world”. She certainly took over the hearts of some of my friends, who were surprised and in awe of her music. I followed up their, “Oh my God, she’s really good!” with an “I told you so or two”.

Yuna’s debut American EP, Decorate (FADER Label), will be available on March 15th.

Here’s a snippet of Yuna performing “Someone Out of Town” at Mercury Lounge:

In the beginning of the set Guetta played all his hits that the people wanted to hear. By 2:30-3 I had noticed that he had mixed into his old school house tracks, prob a nod to all his fans who have been there from the beginning.

Pacha NY 5 Year Anniversary Schedule
—————————————-

Friday, December 3

PART I: David Guetta
Kicking off the 5-Year with a bang (or a boom-boom-pow?), Pacha welcomes Grammy Award-winning sensation David Guetta back to the booth from which he first rocked New York. In just four years, Guetta has gone from Ibiza’s favorite son and the creator of the infamous “F*ck Me I’m Famous” party, to every pop star’s go-to producer and an international star in his own right, gracing the cover of Billboard magazine and pumping out hits like Black Eyed Peas’ “I Gotta Feeling” to his own “When Love Takes Over” with Kelly Rowland. Working with luminaries like Rowland, Ne-Yo and even Madonna, Guetta is an unstoppable force, championing dance music amongst the masses and the elite.

Saturday, December 4
PART II: Kaskade
Honest. Elegant. Beautiful. Such terms are rarely used to describe electronic artists and their music. But Kaskade is a rare breed.

The songwriter/producer/DJ/phenomenon is one of electronic music’s most sought-after emissaries, and one of its most beloved figures. Unaffected and laidback, he’s known to show up to gigs in flip-flops, ready to warm the room – to a simmer or a boil – with his unique brand of feel-good music. Fittingly, his just-released new compilation is titled “dance.love.”

Tonight, the DJ brings his dreamy-meets-tough style to Pacha, after successful New York sets at Roseland and Electric Zoo, and constant touring just about everywhere else. That’s right, in addition to all that love, Kaskade is a road warrior, playing a staggering 140-plus club and festival dates worldwide each year, including Global Gathering, Nocturnal Wonderland, Field Day, and Coachella, where he shared a stage with Madonna.

Friday, December 10
PART III: Cadenza Vagabundos with Luciano and Friends
Back in May, Luciano made an unexpected move that rocked Ibiza: The master of techno and house (with a Chilean flare), and poster boy for DC10’s Monday morning Bacchanal Circoloco, announced that he was packing up his tricks and taking them across the island to Pacha for the 2010 party season.

After a magical summer at Pacha Ibiza that brought the distinctive Cadenza sound to a whole new audience, Luciano and his Vagabundos crew are extending his association with the brand with a one-night-only, unmissable appearance at Pacha New York, kicking off week two of its 5-Year Anniversary celebration.

The night will offer more than just great music: It will be a full-fledged experience the likes of which have never been seen inside Pacha’s four walls. A full stage set, chandeliers, trunks, vintage posters, and umbrellas will transport guests back to the ‘30s, when the vagabundos, or vagabonds – think wanderers, tramps, or as Luciano has conceived them, slightly ghoulish carnies – first roamed. Pacha’s legendary dancers will join the costumed fun, while a makeup artist transforms any willing patron into a vagabundo. Plus, they’ll be Vagabundos-branded top hats for everyone, and that infamous red velvet curtain, which drops to conclude Luciano’s performance – just like in Ibiza.

Luciano will be joined by Robert Dietz, whose first Cadenza release “Home Run” came out in July; and Reboot, one of the hottest producers of the year, whose techy tracks “Shunyata” and “Hermano” rocked the summer,

Saturday, December 11
PART IV: Erick Morillo, Fedde Le Grand
It wouldn’t be a Pacha Anniversary celebration without Erick Morillo, Pacha’s co-owner and chairman of the board. On this extra-special night, he’ll be joined by international sensation Fedde Le Grand, the man behind mega-hits like “Put Your Hands Up For Detroit” and “Let Me Think About It.”

Morillo is consistently one of the top-ranked house DJs on the planet, bringing his party style across the globe and keeping the original music coming through his New Jersey-based imprint Subliminal Records. In a testament to his legacy of creating “best-nights-ever” every time he plays, he’s one of 35 jocks up for MixMag’s “The Greatest DJ of All Time” title.

Morillo is fresh off yet another wild summer on the White Isle, when his “Voodoo Nights” party lit up every Wednesday at Pacha Ibiza.

“I loved being able to carry on my role as the witch doctor, entrancing the dance floor with some very powerful Subliminal magic,” he said.

The man they call Fedde has an ear for pop but the chops of a nightclub DJ. He collaborated with artists like will.i.am and Stereo MCs on “Output,” the 2009 original album from which he’s still releasing singles (including the latest, “Rockin High”).

With these two partying and dropping bombs in the booth, the energy will be full-wattage all night long.

Sunday, December 12
PART V: Tenaglia Classics
DT takes us home with a classic Sunday party devoted to what else? Classics.

One of the greatest DJs of all time and a true New York legend, Danny Tenaglia embodies the music-first ethic of old school DJs, while embracing the newest sounds. His sets are known travel freely between house, techno, electro, dub, and every possible subgenre, while infusing elements of R&B, funk and soul.

The Grammy nominee and revered producer is in-demand on the world stage and beloved in New York, where his “Be Yourself” party is the stuff of legend, bringing new sounds to the city every Friday for five years.
Tonight, he explores his vast catalog of “classics” – past, present and future – wrapping up Pacha’s 5-Year celebration with a tribute to all the music that gives nightclubs their reason for being.
