EDM March Madness Round 2 Begins: March 8th – March 15th

Well, round one has finished up and we have to say that there were a couple of pretty big surprises…overall though the dominant seeds pushed through to the round of 32. This week we have 16 match ups for you to vote on, and trust us…these are a new level of difficult. Some of your favorite artists will be pinned against each other, past collaborators will now go head to head, friends will become foes all in Round 2 of EDM March Madness.

Key Match-Ups

Lets take a look at some of the most critical match ups. In the trance/progressive conference we see Eric Prydz going against Above & Beyond. Can the man with three names take on 3 artists at once? It further adds some drama to the fact that the trio is featuring him as a special guest during their Miami Music Week showcase. In Bass/Trap we see Flume going against RL Grime. The two producers met up last to create the renowned ‘Tell Me’ collaboration before Flume left What So Not, now they meet again needing to do battle in order to move onto the sweet sixteen.

In techno/trance we have Adam Beyer, label head of easily the most renowned label in all of techno, Drumcode going up against Dixon the undisputed king behind the decks. This adds a layer of intrigue as fans now have to choose who gets to move on, will technical skills or production ability win out? Finally we look at the pop/mainstage conference where we see a decisive match up in Odesza vs. Calvin Harris. Odesza has been hailed as some of the most talented musicians in the world, and have topped line ups all around the country this year, but do they have what it takes to take down the top earner in all of EDM? Calvin will not go down without a fight as he continues to make music that refuses to get out of your head. WHO WILL WIN?! Well that is up to you, get voting!
