Electric Daisy Carnival 2012 is only a week away and, maaaaaaaaaaaan, it's gonna be one hell of a good time. Out of my anticipation and excitement for EDC, I put together a mix featuring a handful of artists that I'm looking forward to seeing perform this year, topped off with a lil' bit of that Dadem sound

**THIS IS A FAN MIX AND HAS NO AFFILIATION WITH ABOVE & BEYOND, ANJUNABEATS, OR ANY OTHER OFFICIAL ENTITIES**

Above & Beyond is off on their Group Therapy tour around the world and this Thursday, they'll be spending the night playing a little music here in San Diego. To help quell my excitement a bit, I put together a mix of Above & Beyond songs, fresh releases from their label Anjunabeats, and a lot of awesome trance.

Featuring tracks by Mike Moglin & Genix, Ostbahnof & Ugo Platana, Cosmic Gate, Above & Beyond, Nitrous Oxide and more

Skrunkstep - Return of the Skrunk

Dubstep, Deep Dubstep, Chill

Mixcloud >

To break from the high-energy trend that my last couple of mixes have been following, I put together this chill, deep dubstep mix. I took a lot of inspiration from the Ninja Tune albums and was aiming for that relax but engaging feel.

Featuring tracks by Jacques Greene, Awolnation, Objekt, Excision / Downlink, Kidnap Kid and more

Bench Igloofest Competition

Electro, Electro House, Festival, Massive, Reverb

Mixcloud >

FESTIVAAAAAAAL! I stumbled across the Bench Igloofest competition late last week, so I put together a bunch of massive tracks that are best played out of speakers the size of your house. I worked in some exclusive edits as well, set freshness to kill. Enjoy!

Rebellion

Electro, Breaks, Electro House, Breakbeat, Dubstep

Mixcloud >

Here's your first taste of my new signature style that I have been working on over the last month or two. Following on the heels of the Obliterate! series, this is a different take on electro house which incorporates a bunch of breaks. Pulling away from the hip of the electro genre has been a ton of fun and playing around with breakbeat was a blast. I definitely look forward to delivering more mixes in this style.

Featuring tracks by Dirtyloud, Quest & Odissi, Pendulum, Hot Chip, Future Funk Squad and more

Comic Con or Bust: Super-Geek Dance Mix

Electro, Electro House, Dubstep, Nerds n Hoes, Comicon

Mixcloud >

I've lived in San Diego for 3 years now and still haven't made it out to Comic Con. This time around though, I was pretty inspired to participate somehow, even if I wasn't going to the convention center. So I put together a bunch of awesome tunes that played well with the Comic Con theme and made a rockin' dance mix. There are a few songs included that you won't hear anywhere else, including a remix I did of Science is Fun from the Portal 2 OST.

Featuring tracks by Victims Of Science, Undroid, Alex S, Ephixa, Unicorn Kid, Joe Ghost and more

The Blur of PLUR: Pre-EDC Trance mix

Trance, Uplifting Trance, EDC, PLUR

Mixcloud >

I've been feeling a little guilty for not putting out a new mix over the last weekend. Obliterate! is at an end for all intents and purposes because I'll be playing a fairly different sound in future signature mixes. Out of this guilt (and a bit of free time this evening) comes this pre-EDC trance mix for you to enjoy! If you're on your way to Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas, this mix (plus a little 5-HTP) will get you at maximum PLUR readiness. If you're not on your way to EDC, then maybe this mix will distract you from the insane jealousy you'll be dealing with over the weekend

In other news, the ch.1 low-band EQ knob on my mixer is slowly dying. If you listen intently enough, you'll hear some scattered oddness in the lower frequencies. If I apply pressure to the knob when it's filtering sound, all the frequencies it's blocking will burst through. I'm actually trying to learn how to use this fact to make rhythmic cuts into the low-band, but it's quite a fickle little beast..

Featuring tracks by Aly & Fila, Hiroyuki Oda, Hayley Parsons, Cosmic Gate, 4 Strings and more

Obliterate! x4

Electro, Electro House, Progressive House

Mixcloud >

Two weeks have passed and it's time for another Obliterate! This is the first Obliterate! with some dubstep influences. Don't be fooled though, this is all about the toe-curling electro. Big synths, wicked bass, Obliterate! x4.

Featuring tracks by Dirtyloud, Moguai, Myback, Dtc, Bart B. More and more

SKRUNKMONK

Deep House, House, Groove

Mixcloud >

I was thinking about a deep house mix for a while but wasn't planning on making it for a few more weeks. I wanted to finish an original track I've been working on and fit it in. But, to meet a request, I threw this mix together way ahead of schedule. I hope you enjoy this deeper, chiller house experience

Featuring tracks by Chris Lake, David Guetta, Tritonal, Deadmau5, Booka Shade and more

Obliterate! x3

House, Electro, Electro House, Progressive House

Mixcloud >

Bummed that you weren't raptured over the weekend? Need a little pick-me-up? Clinical studies have shown that Obliterate! x3 is one of the leading uppers on the market. Just one dose and you'll be feeling right as rain.

(Side effects of Obliterate! x3 include, but are not limited to: dancing, sweating, euphoria, face melting)

Featuring tracks by Kaskade & Deadmau5, Bingo Players, Moire, Flatland Funk, Martin Solveig and more

Obliterate! x2

House, Electro, Electro House, Progressive House

Mixcloud >

I went a little overboard with this mix, which clocks in at 71min (I was aiming for 60... oops). But my mixtake is your gain, listener! That's 11 bonus minutes of ultra sexy house music, for FREE

Featuring tracks by Tiesto, Logos, Neelix, Cee-Lo Green, Andy's Ill & Overwork and more

About Me

Electro, House, Breaks, Trance, Progressive, Dubstep, Chill, Loud, Fun

I go by the name Dadem and I am a DJ / Producer based in San Diego, California. Few moments in any of my days are without music. I consider myself lucky to live in San Diego because it has become a hotbed of Electronic Dance Music, in all its varied forms. On the nights (or days) I manage to keep myself inside, you may find me sifting through metric tons of tracks, glued to an EDM podcast, toiling away in Ableton Live, or putting together a new mix.

My musical style is a heavier house sound, digging into breaks, dubstep, and various other styles. You might also catch me dipping my fingers into trance, drum & bass, electronica, or anything else that's sounding good to me.
