What Cheesedick DJs are going to infect the Sahara Tent this year?

[Neighborhood Creep]

And I won't even be mad

[choice cat]

Skrillex a definite maybe for this year. If not then possibly Deadmau5 & Skrillex 2013. Deadmau5 could be a "mainstage closer" Skrillex close the Sahara.

I Think Skrillex may very well Surpass Deadmau5.

[Drewski27]

I Think Skrillex may very well Surpass Deadmau5.

so what you're saying is that you believe the world will in fact end in 2012?

[sleepybrew]

^ exactly what i was thinking. Fuck, if that happens, the world SHOULD end

[intuitionn]

two people.

DADA LIFE. :\

[ADrunkPoet]

I Think Skrillex may very well Surpass Deadmau5.

[Mr. Porter]

Avicii, Porter Robinson, Bingo Players, Calvin Harris DJ Set, and probably Martin Solveig will be there.

YES! + Alesso

[GuyInTucson]

I actually like deadmau5.... yeah I said it.


It would be sad to me if Skrillex ended up surpassing him, but all deadmau5 needs to do is come up with a flashy new head and a new CD and his popularity will continue to stay above Skrillex's.

[bganch]

deadmau5 >>>>>>>>>>>> Skrillex

It will be a sad sad day if Skrillex does surpass mau5. Isn't Skrillex on Mau5's label tho? Mau5 can fuck him over somehow and slow his ascent

[algunz]

I actually like deadmau5.... yeah I said it.

I had fun at his 2008 set.

[GeoffreyB]

I actually like deadmau5.... yeah I said it.

Guilty pleasure.

I like him too, I think he has some really good songs and he's pretty good live. I think some of the hate against him is less than warranted.

But he won't "infect" the Sahara because if he plays he's closing the main. However, I'd be really surprised if he was there this year.

[Dustin da DnB Soulja]

I can't even imagine the crowd that would be at Pauly D's set.

[Dustin da DnB Soulja]

Avicii, Porter Robinson, Bingo Players, Calvin Harris DJ Set, and probably Martin Solveig will be there.

Like we need to hear "Hello" another time =X

[tmac]

i could see an21 and max vangeli being there

[DFrank]

hahaha @ lotus potential. coachellla > anything you listed kid.

and my guesses are avicii, martin solveig (wouldn't mind it however), dada life, above and beyond

cheesestick? damn.

Current standings as far as likes on facebook go:

Deadmau5: 4,332,020
Skrillex: 2,210,693

keep in mind Skrillex has only been working on those for a little over a year. Skrillex is appealing to a whole new audience outside of edm, as well as in it. Skrillex tracks are more radio friendly than deadmau5, and will probably be rotated on KROQ sooner than we think (I think his track with Korn is already getting play). Deadmau5 has plateaued. Your boy Skrillex is on the rise

The Chemical Brothers: 1,128,740

and i would argue that their popularity easily surpasses both deadmau5 and skrillex

Some people I work with know who Skrillex and Deadr4t are but don't know who Justice or the Chemical Brothers are.

I had one girl who told me she liked Ghostland Observatory's light shows but I suggested her to check out the Chemical Brothers as their live shows blow Ghostland's out of the water easily.

I wish that was true but I doubt it, just ask ten young folks in a mall which names they actually recognize, it will not be a fun survey.

[nathanfairchild]

i mean worldwide. skrilly seems to be dominating the college and high school crowd but i'd be surprised if he was that popular outside of that demographic.

[TickleMeElmo]

I even question how popular Skrillex is outside the US.

EDIT: Shit, didn't realize most of his international dates are sold out. Well fuck me.

Mormons in the Sahara?

I like this

... Kaskade’s seventh studio album, “Fire & Ice,” which came out Tuesday. The iTunes release, two weeks earlier, made its debut at No. 4 on the United States overall album chart, behind Coldplay, Kelly Clarkson and Michael Bublé.

Off topic, but I just heard the lead single to Kelly Clarkson's new album, and it literally sounds like it should be used for a promo on Lifetime.

[Mr. Porter]

i could see an21 and max vangeli being there

...and Sebastian Ingrosso.

Feed Me will most likely be there and I expect a Moombahton presence with Dave Nada/Nadastrom and Dillon Francis. Personally, I enjoy the moombah but majority of people here think it's cheese.

[Ross1492]

Booking bad DJ's is one thing. Booking a number of bad DJ's that play essentially the same brand of crap is mystifying. Coachella is not EDC (last time I checked). With a relatively limited number of DJ sets on offer, there shouln't be reason to have conversations about "most overplayed track".

Fans of bad DJ's: does this redundancy annoy you?

[guedita]

You know the answer to that. Of course it doesn't. It's the same reason people go to "hip hop" clubs and get excited to hear "California Love" dropped every weekend.
