Greetings New Yorkers. It’s only the beginning, May 25th to be exact, and the heat is starting to kick in. Our concrete jungle is slowly morphing into a roasting sauna. However, there are plenty of upsides to this temperature change: the sun is shining, flip-flops are becoming the ideal shoe of choice, the streets are flooded with people, and music is in the air, literally. Everywhere you walk, day and night, night and day, palpable, melodic vibrations are pouring out venue doors, small cafes, and street corners. This concept is refreshing, the winter is far behind us and now it is time to relax and absorb our surroundings.
Come mid-summer, the sudden urge of “I must get out of here” might cross your mind. It happens to the best of us. The relentless sweltering sun becomes too much bear. Your mind longs for rolling green hills and fresh country air. What about the music? If you are an electronic music connoisseur, look no further. We are proud to suggest the perfect solution, Camp Bisco 10.
Camp Bisco is a three-day music and arts festival that is put on by none other than the Disco Biscuits themselves. Over one hundred A-List electronic artists from around the world are bringing the talent. This year, the festival will be held on the sublime Lookout Country Club grounds in Mariaville, New York. Mariaville is a short 3-hour trip from New York City and only a twenty-minute drive from Albany. The grounds are composed of 200 acres of green grass fields. Heaven, and it is so close to the city!
This year, Camp Bisco is celebrating its tenth anniversary! The masterminds behind this event are coming up with new ways to innovate the festival and make it more memorable than the last. The Camp is expanding to accommodate five performance stages, a second main gate for faster entrance purposes, an improved late night dance tent, a larger silent disco, and daily music workshops and seminars. New this year will be the addition of curated label showcase tents. Labels such as DFA Records, Mad Decent, and Damon Dash will be hosting their freshest artists and tracks throughout the entire festival. This is a brilliant way to go catch a favorite act while discovering something new. A few things to look forward to are a SPECIAL DISCO VERSION DJ set featuring James Murphy and Pat Mahony from the DFA tent, a Holy Ghost! DJ set from DFA, and Moobahton style tunes from Mad Decent.
Headliners for this year’s festival will include the Disco Biscuits, Cut Copy, Wiz Khalifa, Bassnectar, Pretty Lights, Shpongle Live (first ever US Live appearance!), Ratatat, Death from Above 1979, MSTRKRFT, Ghostland Observatory, Rusko, Wolfgang Gartner, and Skrillex. We also suggest checking out Easy Star All-Stars and Harvard Bass.
Electro Heaven does not seem to do this event justice. We are ecstatic to have the opportunity to cover this event and cannot wait to see you there. If you have any suggestions for artists we should look in to, let us know! Your feed-back is loved and appreciated. Tickets are incredibly well priced so buy your tickets now! We will see you in Mariaville!
