4:30 PM - Featured Q & A - Kaskade

The New York Times may have called him the new face of electronic dance music in a 2011 profile, but Ryan Raddon, known as Kaskade, has been in the trenches of the EDM scene as an original recording artist and in-demand DJ for more than a decade. While he cut his teeth in nightclubs, today Kaskades live show is arena-sized; a jaw-dropping spectacle that finds him performing in front of massive LED screens broadcasting evocative images synced with the music in meaning and tone, while strobe lights scan the crowd. Im trying to create an environment where you can lose yourself in these really big, grand, euphoric moments, he says. And to do that, there has to be a certain intensity. Were barraged with so much information in modern-day culture. I want people to forget their worries and cares and be able to come together and celebrate life by hearing these songs that they love, with words that have touched them in a certain way. Thats what Im trying to do at each and every show.The GRAMMY-nominated artist has scored twelve Top 10 hits on Billboards Hot Dance Airplay Chart; created chart-topping remixes for everyone from Lady Gaga to Beyonce; appeared at all the major summer festivals, including Lollapalooza and Coachella; and performed nearly 200 headlining shows a year for the last 10 years. In the process hes become known as an EDM innovator opening the doors for the likes of Deadmau5, Tiesto, Skrillex and more, and laying the groundwork for a titanic musical and cultural shift: a post-rock electronic music revolution that has captured the imagination of a new generation of fans across North America.Brave, true, and arrestingly beautiful, ATMOSPHERE is Kaskades most vivid self-portrait to date; a manifestation of the places, people, sounds, and ideas that have shaped him to this point, and point to a future inevitably filled with more special moments, from the intimate to the epic. Atmosphere was nominated in 2014 in the Best Dance/Electronica album and the song Atmosphere was also nominated in the Best Dance Recording.

4:30 PM - Building & Marketing Your Identity

Room: A-209

3:00 PM - Featured Q & A - Hardwell

Room: A-208

Music maturity came swiftly for the now seasoned-veteran Robbert van de Corput, better known as Hardwell. At the age of 25, the young Dutch titan capped off a 10 year journey when he was crowned Worlds No.1 DJ cementing his position as the electronic scenes newest superstar DJ and becoming the youngest ever winner of the coveted Top 100 DJs award. Having first established his name at the tender age of 14, Hardwell has since elevated his clubland standing to impressive, dizzying heights. Through his refreshing sound that is characterized by complex drum ensembles, daring synths, and emotive chords, Hardwell has created the ultimate recipe for Big Room House. The fresh and open-minded approach he has taken with his label Revealed Recordings has led to the imprint gaining international momentum and having produced a cluster of hits since its inception back in 2010, as well as giving rise to a new generation of artists that include Dyro, Dannic, Julian Calor, Thomas Newson and Kill The Buzz. Another success in the labels armory is its celebrated compilation series Hardwell Presents Revealed which offers listeners a true box ready taste into the current trends at the heart of the labels musical output. In April 2013 Hardwell launched his most ambitious project to date when he unveiled his I Am Hardwell world tour concept at Amsterdams Heineken Music Hall to a 6000 capacity crowd. A spectacle of unprecedented musical vision and production detail, the entire show was broadcast live on a HD feed to 100,000s of fans around the world and placed a solid marker to the immense popularity of Hardwells position within the dance community. The rise of Hardwell has become an inspiring tale for all. Coming full circle from a dream to reality of wanting to become the #1 DJ in the World, we can be assured that the Hardwell name, face, and brand is a force that will drive electronic dance music for years to come. Bring your questions and join us as WMC proudly presents an intimate question and answer session with Hardwell.
