No Sugar Added is back at Winter Music Week in Miami for its 4th year and the party has packed a lot of great talent into two days at Nikki Beach.  The party will take place on Friday, March 23rd and Saturday, March 24th at the newly revamped Nikki Beach and the lineup is pretty solid (and by solid we mean, not a clusterfuck of David Guetta/Avicii/AVB etc… (*cough* Ultra *cough*)).  We’ve never been to Nikki Beach (we tried sneaking in during WMC 2004 after it was over capacity but that didn’t go so well) but we’d imagine it’s expanded if they’re having four stages each day.

So who needs the Detroit Electronic Music Festival when you have one right in Brooklyn?  Just kidding of course, but as the stories topic reads, Brooklyn will be having its version of DEMF in Williamsburg on the 11th and 12th.  The two festivals though sharing a similar name, are separate entities ran by different groups.  The festival will take over a few different venues along the Williamsburg strip including Public Assembly, Brooklyn Bowl, and the Music Hall of Williamsburg.  The BEMF is hosted by MeanRed, who throw a lot of big name parties in the city year round (including a bunch mentioned on this site over the years).  Brooklyn has long been becoming a replacement for a lot of party goers sick of the nonsense of clubbing in the city.  Since Giuliani completed his quality of life campaign, a lot of clubs have closed forcing party organizers to think of locations outside the small island for their events.   There are a lot of great, larger buildings perfect for gatherings in BK that are away from residential areas, so the noise and crowd isn’t a factor the way it is in Manhattan.  The website gives a brief blurb about the event… Read more »

To die hard dance music fans, Stereo has become a sorts of second home for those close enough to visit it.  Created in Montreal by Angel Moraes in 1999, Stereo is considered the best night club in North America by most simply because it puts music first.  The DJ booth is well laid out, the analog sound system is warm, and the vibe is generally that of a welcoming group, even if you have never been.  In 2009 the club had a serious fire that closed it for almost a year (which was ruled arson), and even after rebuilding, the club had a second fire.  The fires though have only made the heart of Stereo grow larger and the club again hosts some of the best talent in the world on a weekly basis.  Stereo celebrates 12 years this month, with 4 weekends of great parties with Nic Fanciulli, Dubfire, Nicole Moudaber, Peter Rauhofer, Victor Calderone, and more.  The parties run through the last week of November, so if you haven’t been to Stereo yet, now is the time.  And a heartfelt congrats from all of us here goes out to Stereo on 12 great years, and here is to 12 more.  http://www.stereo-nightclub.com/

What has turned into one of the biggest festivals in the U.S. is expected to be the largest yet come next year.  Electric Daisy Carnival has put up pre-sales tickets for their 2012 event in Las Vegas on their website.  The 2011 event, which was moved from L.A., saw an average of 75,000 people a day and this year they expect it to grow to over 100,000.  If you’re thinking about attending, grabbing pre-sales is probably a really good idea since last years event sold out.  Click the link for info.
