Insomniac, the events company famous for its alien and outer space-themed Countdown NYE, has announced that Forever Midnight will be joining as a second premier New Year’s festival. This exciting addition to Insomniac’s long list of events promises to bring even more energy and excitement to the New Year’s celebrations. Forever Midnight is poised to deliver an unforgettable experience with its unique blend of music, art, and culture. Join us as we ring in the New Year with two premier festivals that are out of this world!

Insomniac is bringing their Forever Midnight NYE Los Angeles to DTLA, continuing a trend of hosting events in the city rather than at San Bernardino’s NOS Events Center.

Get ready for a night of electrifying music and unforgettable memories at Forever Midnight NYE in downtown LA.

Groove Cruise Cabo 2018 gallery shows some of the fun the GCFam had on the Norwegian Pearl. Destined for Cabo San Lucas, the ocean liner was diverted to Ensenada due to an impending hurricane. The attendees nonetheless enjoyed a wonderful voyage on the high seas grooving with some of their favorite electronic music artists.

Groove Cruise Cabo 2018

Groove Cruise Cabo 2018 finished its historical thirtieth voyage in mid-October. Dubbed a ‘logistical marvel,’ the team at Whet Travel faced a hurricane, which threatened the Norwegian Pearl and her passengers. Facing impending doom, they made the critical decision to avoid Cabo and certain death. Choosing life and happiness, the ocean liner steered her way to Ensenada, a picturesque destination in the Baja California peninsula of Mexico. Duke Dumont treated the GCFam to an impromptu rave at Papas & Beer, which sent them into a frenzy.

Despite the trials and tribulations, many aboard said Groove Cruise Cabo 2018 was their favorite experience on the ocean. The unexpected change in location turned out to be a blessing in disguise. The non-profit Whet Foundation seized the opportunity to provide the community’s children with necessary school supplies. The team of volunteers, the Whet Foundation, and Kid Wiseman created a street art project.

The unofficial captain of the cruise, Green Velvet, gave two memorable performances. His first was an immersive set by the pool. His second was a closing set of classics. Green Velvet also wore several costumes as he partied with attendees at the eight parties. Guests were treated to Spain’s tech-house legendary duo of Chus & Ceballos as well.

Additional opportunities to hang out with artists included a Kung Fu class with the one and only Laidback Luke, a ping-pong tournament with Shiba San, and much more. Other Groove Cruise highlights included sets from fan favorites like Benny Benassi, MK, Cosmic Gate, and Felix Cartal.

You can see some of the fun people had by checking out the gallery page.

Groove Cruise Miami 2019

Next up for the Whet Travel team is Groove Cruise Miami 2019, which will take place January 10th-14th. The event will mark the 15th anniversary of Groove Cruise and will feature performances from Kaskade, Aly & Fila, Hot Since 82, Markus Schulz, MK, Simon Patterson, and many more stars of the electronic music world.

Will Crockford Chasing Cities

Will Crockford Chasing Cities with Rosie Darling released on May 11, 2018, on Chroma Records is our EDM track of the month for May 2018. Rosie provides her sultry vocals on this offering.

Her voice is delicate but confident, and it fits the theme of this song perfectly.

The inspiration for this song came from Rosie’s difficulties of living in a big city, separated from her love. She spent the Summer of 2017 living in Nashville, Tennessee. Will wanted to create a melody appropriately emotional enough to convey that message.

One interesting tidbit is that they created this track in pieces. Will and Rosie were never together. She sent him an acapella of the first verse. Will wrote the instrumental around the acapella verse. Rosie took Will’s version and re-recorded a full release in acapella with harmonies and adlibs.

Will took the pieces provided by Rosie and assembled them into the final version. Will painstakingly worked to bring the vocals into the sound he wanted. Though it was Rosie’s song, she allowed Will carte blanche to be creative.

Will said of working with Rosie,

She’s such a talented artist, and her voice is so unique that when it came time to put it together, it all flowed very easily.

Phase Three lineup includes heavyweights Ben Klock, Damian Lazarus, and Stephan Bodzin (Live) joining the ranks for Oasis’ fourth edition. Adding to an already impressive list of the ‘Who’s Who’ of house and techno including Carl Cox, Avalon Emerson, DJ Koze, Honey Dijon, Jessy Lanza, Mount Kimbie, Peggy Gou, and The Black Madonna, Oasis Festival is set to be a stand-out on the destination music festival calendar this summer.

Also announced is desert house shaman Damian Lazarus who runs the Crosstown Rebels empire, Bestival founder and encyclopedia of all musical forms, Rob Da Bank, and fans can look forward to a unique live set from longtime techno favorite Stephan Bodzin. An additional live set will also come from George Fitzgerald, whose excellent latest album ‘All That Must Be’ features collaborations with Bonobo and Lil Silva.

Next to these big names are innovative young stars like DJ Boring who will go back to back with Austrian talent Demuja, and Rhythm Section and Eglo’s deep house, broken beat specialist Henry Wu back-to-back with Moroccan funk, house and jazz connoisseur Polyswitch.

Germany’s razor-sharp lo-fi house producer DJ Slyngshot also lines up with others like Bali-based Dea Barandana who is frequently championed by Gilles Peterson. Add in JDH & Dave P who hail from New York and Philadelphia and run the FIXED parties, plus Casablanca label Casa Voyager, and you have a diverse yet coherent lineup of passionate selectors gracing the Oasis decks.

Mixing an authentic cultural experience with a world-class soundtrack, traditional local customs, and friendly hosts, Oasis Festival caters to those passionate about adventurous travel and the quality sounds of the underground. Taking place at the magical and luxurious Fellah Hotel at the foot of the Atlas Mountains, the Oasis Festival grounds are ripe with tropical gardens, palm trees, cacti, and sun-soaked swimming pools all backed by breathtaking vistas. Bringing something fresh to the region and offering a chance to party under the North African stars and warm summer rays, there are—for the first time this year—three stages at Oasis Festival, and each one offers an immersive experience like no other.

Andre Saint Albin Empty Promises

Andre Saint Albin Empty Promises is our progressive house track of the month for April 2018. Born in Paris, France, Andre or commonly known as Dre, resides in Miami, Florida. Dre honed his craft in nightclubs in France, Spain, and Korea. He performed at Electric Daisy Carnival Las Vegas 2014.

Dre has been making quite a name for himself as of late. He has been driving his fusion of electro and progressive sound to the forefront. First was his debut EP, ’37,’ which he debuted at EDC Las Vegas 2014. ’37’ reached numbers 21 and 28 on the Electro Chart and Progressive House Chart respectively. The single ‘Watt’ reached number 21 on the Electro House Chart and Top 50 on the dance charts in Spain. “Watt” ranked in the Top 100 song downloads and is currently #18260 in all-time MP3 Downloads on Amazon.

Classified as progressive house, Dre’s latest single ‘Empty Promises’ is more akin to big room or mainstage. The beautiful melody and vocals provide an emotional atmosphere. The crescendo or drops get you dancing.

You were living in, a world of make believe
And I tried so hard, to make you believe
But I was stuck,
In between,
you and your broken dreams
Now I’m watching you fall down, right in front of me
Now I’m watching you fall down, breaking at the seams
Now I’m watching you fall down, breaking at the seams

Tell… me…..
Noooo-thingggg….
Nothing else but you beeee – lieveeee in me

You got caught up feeling like you’re never there
And I tried to be there
Empty promises that show me you don’t care
But all I need
is a single word…
A single thought
forever there,

Telllll… meeee….
Yoooou… believe….
You believe in more than you can seeeeee
Now I’m watching you fall down, right in front of me

Now I’m watching you fall down, breaking at the seams

Tell… me….. No-thing…. No-thing else but you be – lieve in me
