Coachella Made Me Do It, Part 1 (2012)


Those who have experienced Coachella know what a magical musical experience it is. There's nothing quite like watching the sun set in the Indio desert, as the night lights up in neon colors while you & your friends are hustling from finishing hearing one amazing band in order to catch the tail end of another. This year was my 2nd Coachella, and it was marked by an amazing time with great friends, old and new alike.

This year's Coachella was especially strong in the EDM arena. Many of us listened to dance music long before its time in the limelight; as it has been for the past couple of years. Festival headliners including Swedish House Mafia, David Guetta, Calvin Harris, Alesso, Avicii, Martin Solveig and Jacques Lu Conte all played Coachella sets -- and not just once this year, but rather, two weekends in a row. They brought guests on stage for their sets which included Rihanna, Usher, Sia, Dragonette and more.

The two parts of this Podcast represent the best of the electronic music that I heard this year at Coachella. Certain songs -- the Alesso remix of David Guetta's "Titanium" (feat. Sia), the Knife Party remix of Swedish House Mafia's "Save The World," Sebastian Ingrosso's "Calling" and Avicii's "Fade Into Darkness" vs. Florence + The Machine's "You've Got The Love", Avicii's "Levels" and Gotye's "Somebody That I Used To Know" (which hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 the same week) -- seemingly showed up in every DJ set.

So, I present for you... the EDM Coachella that I, DJ Blacklow, experienced in 2012 -- it might have been slightly different for you, but these were the songs that have been stuck in my head for a full week since my drive back to LA on the 10 freeway. The mixing's not perfect (it can be hard syncing a 95 BPM song into a 128!), and it's some of the most driving music I've DJ'd with to date. I hope you enjoy... and if you, pls post and share with your friends and followers on social media.
