EDC Review, Hot take on DJ Paris Hilton, Ultra Fiasco Continues, Avicii's dad talks mental health, and more | Ep. 17

Episode Summary

We are back for Episode 17! You'll want to tune in for this week's episode because we have recovered and collected our thoughts on EDC Las Vegas 2019. Speaking of which... we hope you enjoyed last week's Artist Spotlight with Trip Trop while we were away at EDC. If you haven't checked the episode out, you may want to. These guys have had some massive support and you can expect their tracks to be played out this festival season. Back to Episode 17... this week we cover new music from the Artists We're Watching - Coldwall and Duke & Jones. We also discuss new releases from Chris Lake (this is a sweet tune), i_o, Jauz, Rezz, and Malaa. Delving into the world of EDM, we kickstart out discussion by going over our thoughts of EDC Las Vegas 2019 (some great back and forth here). Afterwards, the topics we cover include the continuation of the Ultra Miami fiasco, Avicii's dad discussing mental health at IMS Ibiza (a conference), and Alec giving his hot take on the new Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike x Paris Hilton collaboration - BFA's. A big shout out to the Artists We're Watching this week: Voliik and QUIET BISON. And as always, THANK YOU for tuning in. We'd love to hear your thoughts on this episode so feel free to leave us a review on Apple Podcasts or DM us on Instagram (@btbpod).
