Electronic Festival To Be Held In Mexico Over Spring Break

Beach Dog Logo

 

It may seem like a long ways away, but Spring Break will be here soon. If you want a brief reprieve from the joys of winter, why not head down to Mexico?

As if the sun, sand and sea weren’t enough motivation, Beach Dog Presents is looking to entice you musically as well. Beach Dog has announced its inaugural Electric Beach, an event that features Pretty Lights, Wiz Khalifa, Sam Adams, Chiddy Bang, Savoy and the White Panda.

Hosted at the Gran Melia Cancun, Beach Dog is only giving tickets away to this exclusive event through packages that include hotel rooms and access to all three days of the festival. The packages come in three styles: Gold (for $1350 per person), Platinum ($1550) and Diamond ($1750). Each package includes a three night stay in the hotel and you can get more information right here

So if you love electronic music and are feeling the winter blahs, chase them away with images of some of the best bands of the genre playing in one of the swankiest hotels in Mexico. Sounds kinda nice.

Toro Y Moi Peak Underneath The Pine


When South Carolina’s Chaz Bundick (aka Toro Y Moi) signed to Carpark Records in late 2009, his plan was to release two records in 2010. His electronic debut, Causers of This, hit shelves in January of last year. But, his followup was pushed. Entitled Underneath the Pine, the album is set for release on February 22, 2011.

Unlike Causers of Them, Underneath the Pine, features almost entirely live instrumentation. This creates a homespun sound, which is different for Toro Y Moi. Later this month, Toro Y Moi is headed out on tour (dates down below).
