Here Are the Set Times for the First-Ever Paradise Blue, Excision’s Cancún Oceanfront Festival
Sun-kissed beaches aren’t typically the setting for neck-snapping dubstep, but not in this headbanger’s paradise.

Excision and his team have now released the set times for Paradise Blue, which will feature three stages.

Virtual Riot Announces New Album “Simulation” and Release Date
Fans of Virtual Riot already had September 10th down as an important “save the date” given the producer’s recently announced headlining return to Los Angeles’ Hollywood Palladium.
