29.Dec.2011 Madeon + FEED ME at The Beacham - Lazaroc

This past Tuesday night Orlando got an after x-mas treat, Madeon and Feed Me at The Beacham Downtown Orlando.

I had heard about this show before I got back home to Orlando but was hesitant to drop the $25 into a ticket for acts that I’ve heard mentioned by friends and blogs I frequent but that I don’t listen to on a regular. I’m really happy I did because this show will go down as one of my highlights of 2011.

French producer Madeon hit the stage at midnight to a near capacity crowd at The Beacham. The massive line outside was slowly trickling in but once inside concert goers were quick to throw their hands in the air for the 17 year-old prodigy. This guy is truly the future of electronic music, if Madeon was pulled off the performance at this age, there is no telling where he’ll be in 5-10 years.

English producer Jon Gooch, better known as “FEED ME” released a non-stop barrage of of hard hitting, low end heavy tracks on the bass hungry crowd. Mixed with the extremely loud and chest thumping sound and vivid visuals at The Beacham, the crowd was hungry for more. At about 2:30 am when it was announced that this would be his last song, the crowd begged for more. Here’s a little bit of that encore.

Looking forward to a huge 2012 for these two. Check em out if you get the chance.

- Extremely long line to get into the venue

- PBR? Were they not serving PBR?

- Sound was too loud, definitely (should always) bring earplugs next time I’m at The Beacham

+ Really fun crowd

+ Lighting provided some really sweet visuals, added a nice touch

+ Being able to scope the show from the stairways on the side of the venue

Holy Ship!! - Lazaroc

The behemoth of a music festival/vacation known as “Holy Ship” is now rearing its beautiful beautiful face and will begin embarkation a week from tomorrow.  This is the maiden voyage of what will hopefully be an annual adventure. Musical acts include Fatboy Slim, Rusko, Laidback Luke, Boys Noize, A-Trak, Buraka Som Sistema, and Dillon Francis to name a few.

Electronic music enthusiasts are already gathering in South Florida awaiting this mystical journey. Tomorrow night 12/30, Nero will perform at The Fillmore, there’s an official Holy Ship PreParty on 1/5 at Revolution Live, and who knows what other djs will pop up over the next week.

Cruisers can look forward to a wide range of activities on board including The Mad Decent Scavenger Hunt, DJ Lessons with A-Trak, Yoga with DJ Gina Turner, Putt Putt with Dillon Francis, Steve Aoki’s Poker Tournament, and Dance Lessons with Buraka Som Sistema. This is all in addition to the hours upon hours of live DJ sets on any of the ships 4 venues and an afternoon of music on a private island somewhere out in the Bahamas.

I’ve been looking forward to this event since it was first speculated that HARD, The Bowery Presents, and Cloud 9 Adventures were planning something special for us on a 2,500 capacity cruise liner. If you’re not on board yet, you’re running out of time and Holy Ship is running out of space. They’re still cabins for sale, pretty sure you have till Jan. 2nd to purchase.

- Buon Viaggio Y’all!!
