The lineup for the 2 day Contact Winter Music Festival in Vancouver has been revealed

/

Blueprint Events and Live Nation are going big this year by making the Contact Winter Music Festival a 2-day event which will take place at B.C Place on December 26th and 27th. The DJ lineup is impressive as this year's Contact festivities will include Skrillex and Kaskade as the big headliners.

Here's the full lineup:  

  • Skrillex
  • Kaskade
  • Dada Life
  • Diplo
  • Bingo Players
  • Dirty South
  • Baauer
  • Flosstradamus
  • R.L Grime
  • MAKJ
  • Cashmere Cat

For Vancouver fans disappointed that Skrillex was not able to organize the Full Flex Tour this year will rejoice that the OWSLA boss will be gracing Vancouver this winter. The rest of the lineup looks like a nice mix of heavyweight DJ/Producers that will be sure to attract a wide range of fans that are wanting to rage at a big indoor stadium event to get away from the cold.

Thump and Nest HQ team up to bring you "LUNCH BREAKS"

/

It would appear that Nest HQ and Thump have teamed up together to deliver a boiler room styled experience called "LUNCH BREAKS". From the looks of the first episode, "LUNCH BREAKS" is a live video feed showcasing a DJ set and cooks making lunch for the OWSLA team. So is it Boiler Room with food? I'm not sure, but check it out because it's on live:

If I had to venture a guess, the location of the feed could very well be located at Skrillex's new L.A 'bass factory' in China Town.
