// Scandalism & Mylo Present: ECSTASY, PASSION & PAIN 10-12-11 //
After October's epic EPP (in which all tickets where sold out in advance and hundreds turned away at the door), Mylo returns with another huge line-up. When it comes to disco line-ups to get the bloggers in a frenzy, no-one comes close to Ecstasy, Passion & Pain at the moment. We are proud to bring the first ever full live show on UK shores of the hottest name in dance music, Madeon. Late in 2011 Pendulum opened up a remix competition for one of their singles, only for an unknown 16-year old French producer to win hands down, by making Pendulum sound disco! What followed was a remix request from Deadmau5, and a scramble from all major labels worldwide, for a young man who had yet to DJ outside of his bedroom.
In August of this year, and aged only 17, Madeon put out youtube video entitled 'Pop Culture Mash-Up', demonstrating how he intended to DJ live. That clip received over 1 million views in less than a week, and a star was born. Having amassed 16 million combined youtube plays in under 4 months, and selling out New York's Webster Hall 2 weeks before his US debut, Madeon is truly a superstar in the making.
Joakim is one of France’s foremost electronic musicians. His first album ‘Tiger Sushi’ was ambient electro-jazz, before he moved onto electronics with ‘Fantômes’, and later ‘Monsters and Silly Songs’, on which he combines post-rock, disco, electronics and, well, silly songs. "Making a pure dance album would almost be like composing an album entirely in F major,” says Joakim. “I jump from one idea to the next. I simply have to try everything and see where it leads." Joakim runs the Tigersushi label, releases a broad spectrum of music including Maurice Fulton, E.S.G, Poni Hoax and Metro Area. Joakim does live sets, DJs and he’s also a remixer. Fingers in many pies then.
After supporting 2ManyDJs on tour, and a string of well received remixes for the likes of Moby and The Golden Filter, Villa shot to prominence this year with their monster remix of Adele's Rolling In The Deep (receiving over a million views on Youtube). Two of the hottest upcoming producer/DJs, and a living legend, The C90s and Justin Robertson complete the bill.
