Riverside Festival put together a stacked phase 2 lineup

August 02, 2018/ EDM Canada

This year's Riverside Festival is bigger and better than ever, boosted by their huge phase 2 lineup release. For 2018 they have added an extra day to the festival, which means a much larger lineup that includes Slushii, Matoma, a special Downlink B2B Figure for the bassheads, Loud Luxury (Check out their latest video interview here), and much more.

Set at the beautiful Museum of History grounds in Gatineau, the stage is perfectly placed infront of the waterfront overlooking the Parliament Hill. The stage is so epic that I believe it's the best outdoor urban EDM festival location in Canada hands down.

Every year this event brings thousands of fans from Ottawa/Gatineau/Montreal, and when it's time to party it up from September 8th - 9th, I suspect that this festival will be taken to another level. For tickets, click here.

May 08, 2013/ EDM Canada

Destroid, the new super-group created by Excision, Downlink, and KJ Sawka has just released their debut album called The Invasion. According to the official website, "the concept of Destroid was originally created in late 2009 and has been in heavy development for over three years." The Invasion is a hard hitting album filled with tracks that are meant to be played live infront of throngs of raging fans. Listen to the full album preview below:

Excision, Downlink, & Space Laces - Raise Your Fist

Excision, Downlink, & Space Laces - Wasteland

Excision, Downlink, & Space Laces - Crusaders

Excision - Flip the Switch (Feat. Messinian)

Downlink - Activation

Excision & Bassnectar - Put It Down (My favourite track of the album)

Excision & Space Laces - Bounce

Excision & Far Too Loud - Annihilate

Excision & Ajapai - Blast Off

Excision & Space Laces - Funk Hole

The Invasion is out now on iTunes and Beatport.

Destroid has already developed a full live show design with "custom-crafted MIDI-controlled "guitars" that command the Destroid live show from anywhere on the stage." They have also prepared a full visual onslaught with "sophisticated LED panels" and "built-in video cameras feeding live visuals." Sounds like a show that cannot be missed.
