Riverside Festival put together a stacked phase 2 lineup

By David Mann

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

In the 6ix with Loud Luxury: life on the road, interesting gigs, surprises on stage at VELD music festival and more... (Video interview)

By Sinejan Ozaydemir 

EDM Canada had the pleasure of sitting down with DJ Duo Loud Luxury in Toronto last month during SPIN/CO's 4th anniversary celebration. The charity event celebrated at Rebel Nightclub raised money for Right to Play. Loud Luxury was happy to be a part of the charity event, live-DJing the spin class. 

The duo's song "Body", which now, since the interview has surpassed 135 Million streams, is enjoyed in many ways- one of which is in Spin/Co's spin classes. We chatted with Joe and Andrew about their crazy schedule, their love for the 6ix, their experiences with the greats like Tiesto and Armin Van Buuren, the most interesting gig they have played so far and what fans should expect from their upcoming shows such as VELD and new music. 

Loud Luxury is certainly on the rise globally. To keep up with what is new with LL you can connect with them on Instagram and Twitter.
