Yo, so can I tell you how fucking excited I am about this!!!!!! Beta Festival, is the brand new electronic music festival based out of Alabama opening its gates July 25th!!! Now you may be thinking - Alabama, what's in Alabama? Bitch shut it. Tons in Alabama and if for nothing else - Beta Festival IS IN ALABAMA (Read with The Rock voice). You know who else is going to be there? WE ARE!!!!!!!
That's right my beautiful (and not so beautiful) people, Penned Madness will be there repping our new compilation!!!!! More details on when that will be out for the public sometime in the next month. We have our own stage!!!!! What does this mean for you?
Well. There are two stages at Beta. One stage has all the amazing headlining acts that I will be talking about later on in this post. And the other stage will have your favorite bloggers ripping up the ones and twos all damn day long!
To top it all off the festival is being held in this bad ass location called the Sloss Furnace (click that link to check out a 360 view of the venue). It's pretty amazing. I almost wished this was a halloween type festival in this place - that shit would be b-a-n-a-n-a-s!!!!
So who's playing (this is for you people who were to lazy to click the link to their site - but not lazy enough to not finish reading this :-D).

About The Madness
It is a good time to be alive people.
Dance music is bigger than ever nowadays. New Producers and DJs are popping up all over the place. Dance Parties have become a staple of downtown scenes and weekly routines everywhere... All coming together to help create a more eclectic and richer musical experience.
But what if one day the parties stopped?
Dance Party analysts from Cambridge have predicted that in the next coming years people will "get over" dancing and will become "meh" in regards to DJs and remixes.
Here at Penned Madness, our aim is to keep the party going - to prevent such a dancefloor dystopia. We have assembled a crack team of up and coming DJs from all over the state of Florida, dedicated to the task of bringing the good people of the dancefloor-be it club or bedroom-the jams they want to hear.
With a small contribution of viewing our website daily or signing up to our RSS feed, you too can help save the music and dancefloors all across this great land
"...And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music" - Nietzsche

A new track that is getting a lot of attention lately is from French singer, Ryskee. It's a little ballad that has been remixed by some of the best. But my personal favorite was by The Bloody Beetroots It's got this smooth 80's love pop ballad feel. It's a nice change of pase from their usual balls-2-the-wall electro and from the rest of the overdriven remixes. (Not that I'm hateing on overdrive - I personally love it my self...)

So i have been sitting on this post for too long and i have to apologize for that because this music should have been given to you the same day it dropped into my hands. Our favorite North Carolina Allstars Your Dirty Habit decided to pop out a new project with the Trill Bass Crew up in Birmingham (hope to see you at BETA!) So as you can expect its slammed with bass...killer vocals...and just tasty flavor all around! Nothing but the best can come from six brilliantly creative electro heads slamming their intensity into what...boners um i mean bangers...ah i mean just love it. I present to you BONER STABONE!!
The original mix of this first track will be coming out on system recordings in the near future so keep your eyes peeled..also stay tuned for up dates about YDH's forthcoming EP and full album!!

I've only seen 4 good girls djs in my life , Lady Carol is one of them. She has been playing shows solo and with her Group 'The Lady Killers' consisting of herself and Jackie O. Residing now in Louisville , Kentucky along with myself , VHS and BETA , and Jesse Jamz just to name a few. She is on top of the scene there at the moment if you ask me. Anytime I throw a show there I make sure she is on the bill. I don't give the thumbs up to many people around the scene over here , but she get both hands. Already being a amazing drummer , she just has what you need to be a good dj. She is even my hair stylist! Lady Carol is on her way into starting to make music as we speak , but until then enjoy this mini mix she banged out!

The newest Designer Drugs track is here, and in new video form! Here is a sneak peak at their remix of "You Heart Feels" from Thieves Like Us, a PM Exclusive.
YouTube
Ahhh, a true cautionary tale of love, betrayal, heartbreak and slippery bathroom floors.
So not only does this video showcase a remix, but the video itself is a remix as well. This video was spliced and pieced together by Elle Rex, NYC party photographer and unofficial third member of DD.
If you enjoyed the video, then mosey on down to ye olde itunes store and grab yourself a copy of the track.

Yo, so it's Monday - again - and I'm checking through our never ending messages in our inbox (thank you inboxers :D) and I stumble (came across?) this. It's not crazy - but it's not simple. It's the kind of track I would play with some techy italian electro shit. Something about the old school 8bit acid rave lines that keeps me on the dance floor, and jamming out. This track was made by the dude Oh!MeGa from Cali and maybe he might be the next thing. If you click his name it'll take you to his myspace where he has this other sick track called Much More Lovin' - good times right there.
Alright heres the track and Oh!Mega - if you read this - let me get on that remix ;-)
