Not Your Average Kids from the Streets

Citizen Cope to Croon at SunFest

The Bloodier the Better
Anytime you hear the word ‘bloody,' you can't expect spic-and-span; which is why The Bloody Beetroots have gained notoriety as a ‘dirty' duo. When it comes to breaking down beats and making turntable magic, words like ‘nasty' and ‘filthy' become the ... -
Ultra Loves Guetta
Once the Black Eyed Peas ended their impressive reunion set, plenty of people stuck it out over by the Main Stage for one of this year's hottest DJs. Even though David Guetta is 41, he somehow manages to keep things clean, fresh and popular, which is why ... -
