Rebecca & Fiona Interview: Looks matter

EDM Insider recently sat down with Rebecca & Fiona for an interview in Chicago, check it out.

Notable quotes:

..."most famous DJs are really ugly, but people don’t notice because they are so starstruck.".

Who are they referring to? I wonder.

"Who knows though with trends, what is popular changes so quickly. If somebody really good looking comes along and makes a good punk song, punk can become popular again. But we feel that it’s best for people to just make their own music in the genre they love best.."

Rusko Interview: Codeine, Rohypnol, and Vodka

Rusko is pretty damn candid about his drug and alcohol use, here's a snippet:

“You know they have the one litre bottles of Grey Goose, the big fat giant ones? I do a whole big one a night. It’s a combination of tolerance and being more fucked up. Every day I wake up more and more hung-over and more and more bruised and tired, so I have to drink more to get myself in the right frame of mind to get back on stage. I’ve been drinking vodka for the last 22 nights in a row, so you build up a tolerance to it. Now I’m just necking it out of the bottle."

Here's a thought exercise for you all: re-read the article but take away Rusko's fame, touring and music away.

New York condo owners not happy about EDM pool party

To some people the perfect view and ability to hear DJ Chuckie play live from the comfort of your own condo would be a real treat but not for these two condo owners quoted in the article.

At this pool party the VIP clientele use $200 champagne bottles to spray each other rather than drink it.

Silent Disco at Camp Bisco

I've never been to a multi-day camping EDM festival before but I just might so I can check out a silent disco:

At this point, it was after 3:30 in the morning, and the option to go to silent disco was still on the table. If you’ve never tried a silent disco, it’s a common nighttime activity at camping music festivals where two DJs spin separate sets in the same room, and people wear headphones provided by the silent disco in which you can pick which DJ to listen to. You can tell who is listening to which channel based on how they’re moving to the music – it’s quite entertaining, actually.

Sounds hilarious and fun to watch. Does anyone know if they have this set up at WEMF?
