[ceretralvortex]

Electric Daisy Carnival 2012

Tiësto
Steve Angello
Sebastian Ingrosso
Avicii
Benny Benassi
Kaskade

Above & Beyond
Armin van Buuren
Bassnectar
Calvin Harris
Carl Cox
Chase & Status
David Guetta
Erick Morillo

Sad sad day when this teenage cluster fuck has an almost identical but ultimately better/DJ dance line-up than Coachella.

[Goatchella]

Everyone on that list is a cheese ball pile of shit.

Edc sucks balls

literally the only artist on this list thats maybe (over)due for a coachella appearance is carl cox. he alone does not improve this lineup that much over coachella's EDM.

[Riggins33]

I would have to be on ten hits of gay ass extacy to enjoy any of this stupid ''music".

[ceretralvortex]

Agreed. Carl - Richie Hawtin - even the return of Chase & Status would be welcome compared to the SHF take over.

It's a really disappointing year for dance/EDM - it's like a VIP bottle Las Vegas casino night club has taken over the Sahara.

I like Modeselektor and Sub Focus and a few others who happen to be on the Coachella lineup more than anyone on your list sans Carl Cox and Richie Hawtin. That being said, I would be shocked if they both didn't end up at EDC.

Also, can we stop pretending EDC has totally shitty lineups? Of course they are going to bring the Avicii's and the Guetta's of the world, but over the past several years they have given enough variety to make a lot of attendees satisfied.

I love how you looked to elsewhere for proof rather than just looking at the Sahara lineup

[Vic Viper]

even if carl cox, richie hawtin, and chase & status replaced SHM/ingrosso/guetta this year's EDM lineup would be weaksauce as shit.

lineup is seriously lacking in big name electronic acts and/or relevant underground/up and coming/buzzband DJs. it's thoroughly middling and mediocre.

[ceretralvortex]

coachella is billed as an alternative - not mainstream festival. Electric Daisy makes no such claims. they have always gone for mass appeal. So to prove my point that Coachella shit the bed this year when booking the Sahara - I did in fact need to point to a mainstream event to back up my claim. I hope you aren't a lawyer JULOXX.

Fail.

[iammrcandyman]

Using your logic Plastikman is mainstream since they booked him last year.

And Chase & Status were one of the best acts in the Sahara last year.

And Carl Cox is a great DJ. His sound is hardly mainstream.

COME TO THE COACHELLA VALLEY MUSIC AND ARTS FESTIVAL, A CELEBRATION OF ALTERNATIVE MUSIC AND CULTURES, STARRING DR. DRE AND SNOOP DOGG.

[amma_sol]

I'd trade SHM for above & beyond

[Goatchella]

I'll trade SHM for a sharp stick in the eye

I actually don't mind that they are playing seeing that they will probably play during Amon Tobin's set... making the crowd during Amon Tobin bro-free

[brycerosen]

Flying Lotus
Amon Tobin
Noisa
Breakbot
Justice
DJ Shadow
Dada Life
Feed Me
Mt Eden
Modeselektor
SBTRKT
SebastiAn
Pure Filth Sound
Sub Focus
Gaslamp Killer

note: i am aware many of these will not be in the sahara and i dont care

[Mugwog]

It's a conspiracy to let the cheese lovers buy up the tix, then it sells out and Cemical Bros, Daft Punct and Jesus are announced as actual headliners, then all the people who like good music will be mad cuz they gotta pay so much to see jesus and richie hawtin and douches will still be happy

This is proof that Coachella's EDM lineup isn't shitty at all. All of the artists that Bryce just named here are some of my favorite artists that I listen to all year round, and am really excited to see at Coachella. And in my opinion Bryce left a few off that list, like Nero, who I'm excited for. Plus Coachella has the Do Lab too, and they've put together a great fucking lineup this year. If you don't like Guetta, Kaskade, etc. then stop focusing on how pissed you are that GV booked them and focus on all of the talent that's there.

And sure the people that were just announced for EDC are all chesseball, with a few exceptions, but they haven't announced the full lineup yet and I'm sure that when they do there will be a lot of great names and genres being represented, just like there was last year. It's really unfair to say that the whole lineup is shit.

A few acts may rightfully engender some enthusiasm but let's not get carried away.

[GuyInTucson]

I wouldn't necessarily separate Dada Life from the Guetta / SHM / Afrojack category of mainstream shit acts... And acts like Mt. Eden, Gaslamp Killer and Feed Me aren't really boosting the quality of the actual dance lineup.

I'd rather watch Guetta + SHM, at the same time, twice, than Mt. Eden, Gaslamp Killer, or Feed Me, even once. Those three are three of the worst of the weekend. But FloLo, SBTRKT, Modeselektor, Noisa, Subfocus, DJ Shadow, and Amon Tobin, are all good.

[sbjungle]

All fully legit:
Modeselektor
Flying Lotus
Amon Tobin
SBTRKT
Sub Focus
NERO
Noisa
DJ Shadow

2nd tier, but still well worth checking out barring conflicts:
SebastiAn
Porter Robinson
Madeon
Jacques Lu Cont
Beats Antique
Flux Pavilion & Doctor P (if you like dubstep, that is)

...and admittedly I do wanna see Justice, cuz I haven't seen him before, but I will say I'm quite skeptical about his set. same with Calvin Harris.

MIke, gimme some NERO that i should check out

I think Justice is gonna be great. I know I'm in the minority, but I really like their new album; it's different, sure, but still interesting. Madeon is also pretty great, I'd move him to the first tier, in Nero's place, who I'd drop. Otherwise, your first tier is legit.

[DeadSkin]

EDC is great if your into getting raped and fucked over by fence jumpers

[artisticcreator]

If you don't like Coachella, enjoy EDC!
