The electronic music industry has taken plenty of knocks for its male dominated festival lineups, but things may be changing behind the scenes. Insomniac Events has tapped Meagan DesChenes to manage venerable Southern California-based Edm brand, Hard events.
DesChenes, who worked under previous Hard honcho Gary Richards, now oversees Hard, which will have its annual summer weekend bash August 4th and 5th in Fontana, California.
The 2017 edition of Hard Summer, held at Glen Helen Amphitheater in San Bernardino over two days, grossed $6.7 million on a sell-out of 78,450 and with tickets priced between $65 and $150, according to Pollstar.
The Edm veteran cut her teeth passing out flyers for Richards back in the early days of Hard a decade ago, and now she is managing several massive Hard-branded events, which includes more female DJs this year.

Family, friends and fans are mourning the loss of Hugh Hefner, the Playboy founder who died peacefully at his home at the age of 91 on Wednesday.
While many of his famous Playmates have expressed their condolences via social media and in statements to Et -- like Kendra Wilkinson, Bridget Marquardt and Pamela Anderson -- there's one that's been noticeably silent: Holly Madison.
From 2002-2008, the platinum blond beauty was Hefner's "No. 1" girlfriend. But according to Madison, all of that went downhill... and fast. In her 2015 memoir, Down the Rabbit Hole: Curious Adventures and Cautionary Tales of a Former Playboy Bunny, Madison claims she contemplated suicide due to her unhappy life in the mansion.
From head over heels to their now-infamous feud, Et's breaking down what led to their strained relationship, and how it affected Madison's friendship with one of her The Girls Next Door co-stars.

While Rotella was set to stand trial in November, the Los Angeles County District Attorney has now dismissed all charges against him.

Rotella shared the video a few days back, depicting the location of an as of yet unnamed fest with the caption “New Venue. New Festival in 2017.”
The venue is an undisclosed outdoors location with plenty of trees, presenting the possibility of an Electric Forest style show, although that’s just speculation at this point.
So far, we have little to go off, with no festival name, specific location or date other than the tentative timeline for next year. We’ll...

Edc Las Vegas 2016 came and passed with a bang over the weekend, serving as the culminating dance music event of the year for many ravers who traveled to the American Southwest for the major festival. Featuring a stacked roster of top notch talent, Edc took the spotlight in the Edm community as fans and festival goers took to social media to revel in the event. Dance music’s resident sourpuss deadmau5, on the other hand, was predictably unimpressed.
In his usual manner, the Canadian producer took to his social media platform of choice to Tweet a few barbs at Edc’s expense. The latest Twitter rant from deadmau5 centers around what he views as a lack of diversity, calling out the massive festival for booking too many similar acts and watering down the talent pool.

The 2016 edition of Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival made for just as shining a monument to youth culture as those of previous years – holding the gaze of revelers long enough to distract them from what unsightly affairs took place behind the scenes.
World-class production values and high-profile appearances both on and offstage transformed the Empire Polo Club grounds into a fantasy world for nearly 100,000 daily attendees over the two weekends that Goldenvoice’s flagship festival took place. While far fewer individuals bore witness to what transpired at some of the festival’s peripheral campgrounds, the incidents made for a spectacle all their own for entirely different reasons.
Back in March, We Got This Covered exposed the questionable business practices of SFX Entertainment board member Andrew Bazos, M.D. during the launch of his event medicine company, CrowdRX. Event security is another less-glorified aspect of a festival’s logistics typically outsourced by festival organizers.
In particular, however, a man named Chris Munoz enlisted to work the second weekend of Coachella by such a staffer contacted us with stories of how he and others were lied to and mistreated over the course of their short-lived employment.
Pictured above (left to right): Pasquale Rotella, Pat Christensen, Cory Meredith.
Aside from Goldenvoice’s own in-house security team, each year Coachella’s crowd management is overseen by Staff Pro, a company that subcontracts smaller security staffing companies. “I was the owner of the company and I sold it two years ago but nothing has changed,” says Staff Pro President Cory Meredith. “The parent company was a huge, huge, huge security company, and they made me a loan.”
Merideth’s relationship with Goldenvoice dates back several decades. “I go back to when the three partners in the ‘80s started Long Beach. (Laughs) This is back in the punk days. Sender’s Ballroom in Long Beach. Now that was when they slam danced one-on-one before they moshed.”
Munoz got involved with a Staff Pro subcontractor called Securacorp shortly after coming across the following post in the Facebook group So Cal Rave Fam:
Munoz recounts that he initially reached out to Austin Burke, who made the post on behalf of another subcontractor similar to Securacorp called International Event Specialists. However, he had better luck connecting with Securacorp themselves when a friend forwarded him a help wanted ad posted via the Instagram account that previously went by the screen name ROUG3_SHADOWS:
After direct messaging the account, Munoz received a reply from somebody named Marcos Salazar who claimed to be one of Securacorp’s employees inviting him to discuss the opportunity further.
Salazar extended Munoz a job offer to work security for the second weekend of the festival, which took place from April 22nd-24th. He told Munoz that it wasn’t a problem that he didn’t have his own mode of transportation because the company would bring him to the festival grounds via Greyhound bus and cover his basic necessities while he stayed on one of Empire Polo Club’s campgrounds.
According to Munoz, Salazar assured him that tents and sleeping bags would be provided, and that he would be compensated for his work two weeks afterwards. He also remembers Salazar telling him, “You’re gonna get paid to play,” and that during his time off the clock he would be allowed to venture out into the festival grounds to experience Coachella alongside the paying attendees.
However, inconsistencies between what was promised and what was delivered would foreshadow the endeavor from the very beginning. Munoz explained:
“[Salazar] told me, ‘You gotta be in front of the Staples Center at 7:00 Am or else the bus will leave.’ I went the next day, and the bus was late – that was one thing. We waited like an hour there. And right then is when I met Ron.”
Ron Hill was a Securacorp employee whom Salazar introduced to Munoz and the other employees as one of their supervisors.
“He said that If anybody acted up or broke any rules they’ll get sent home on the bus, and that he was going to step off the bus and leave Ron in charge – so if anybody disrespected him there would be consequences,” Munoz said.
The bus took the group to a campsite just within the confines of the greater Empire Polo Club but far from the festival grounds themselves. After stepping off the bus, Munoz and the others could hardly believe the scene that stretched out before their very eyes.

2016 may have proven the electronic music landscape rockier than entertainment moguls had realized, but Billboard hasn’t written it off as a bygone era quite yet. The publication has released its 3rd annual power list of DJs and executives, declaring the likes of deadmau5, Jono Grant, Neil Moffitt and Russell Faibisch to be among its most influential figures.
The list is divided between the headings “Artists,” “Live,” “Gatekeepers” and “Managers,” with Diplo, Pasquale Rotella, Julie Adunega/Zane Lowe and Adam Alpert at the top of each respective category. Strangely, Billboard included all but Rotella for their influence in the realm of music releases – even though the electronic music is largely a live music-driven industry.
That being said, Billboard‘s 3rd annual power list features dozens of artists and industry figures whose contributions cover a wide range. To see the list in its entirety click here, and be sure to let...

It’s not exactly news that Insomniac Events was planning to go all out on the 2016 edition of Electric Daisy Carnival Las Vegas. Company founder and CEO Pasquale Rotella recently revealed some of the modifications made to the music festival’s Kinetic Field and Neon Garden stages, and now he’s taken to social media to do the same for Circuit Grounds.
Recent incarnations of the Circuit Grounds structure share common elements – a massive canopy from whose ceiling Led-paneled sculptures lower down until they’re nearly within audience members’ reach. However, it’s hard to imagine that being the case this year in light of what Rotella tweeted:
This year’s #circuitGROUNDS will have a capacity almost 3 Times larger than 2015’s megastructure. Get ready!#EDC20 pic.twitter.com/vbWPDImbQI

Electric Daisy Carnival Las Vegas is already known in the world of dance music as one of the biggest and best events, and the festival draws in thousands of music fans every year to Sin City.
