Sunset Music Festival Artist Spotlight: Pegboard Nerds
Our Sunset Music Festival lineup has a wide range of buzz-worthy newcomers gracing the stages this year. Pegboard Nerds is one of the buzzing artists making waves in the industry today. Though they had admired and been influenced by dance music for over twenty years, it wasn’t until 2011 that Danish countrymen Alexander Odden and Michael Parsberg would create the duo Pegboard Nerds after years of producing and remixing for other established artists.
Creating a unique blend of electronic music that spans over electro, dubstep, moombahcore, and glitch hop, the two have never confined themselves to a single genre. Which could probably attribute to their wide audience that has gained an impressive following over the past year. Their first release “Gunpoint” was the catalyst of a string of successful releases, like “Self Destruct,” “Disconnected,” and “Fire In The Hole” which held the number one spot on the Beatport’s Glitch Hop chart for almost 3 consecutive months. Their latest release “Razor Sharp” with Tristam is currently at #1. Pegboard Nerds’ remixes have gained a lot of attention as well. Their take on Krewella’s “Alive,” on popular channel UKF, has garnered over 1.5 million views and the remix of MSD and Jillian Ann’s “Quiet Riot” was also hand-picked by Knife Party for their Mixmag studio mix back in November.
You can catch Pegboard Nerds on tour supporting fellow Sunset artist Knife Party later this year, or you can just catch their set next week at the Set stage for Sunset Music Festival. Buy your tickets today!

Sunset Music Festival Sound Mashup: David Guetta and Dillon Francis
We think it’s pretty amazing that some of the artists gracing Sunset Music Festival‘s lineup have helped pioneer trends within the music industry. With one artist perfecting the art of being an underground DJ with crossover hits and the other aiding in the birth of a popular sub-genre, David Guetta and Dillon Francis are two Sunset artists who have successfully pushed the envelop for dance music in the span of their careers.
David Guetta
David Guetta certainly needs no introduction. That’s because he is uniquely an underground DJ who has also gained huge crossover success. Often called the hardest working man in dance music, David Guetta has single handedly been crafting his career since the mid-eighties, diligently and steadily working to the spotlight position he’s in today. With five successful studio albums and multiple Grammy Award wins and nominations to boot, Guetta is known to billions for not only his fusion of pop and hip-hop in the studio, but also his energetic DJ sets which range from deep, epic-long forays into vocal house to funky, electro house bangers. You can catch the once #1 DJ in the world when he takes the Ra stage of Sunset Music Festival May 25th. Buy your tickets today!
Dillon Francis
Though his first release was only three years ago, Dillon Francis has since risen to fame with a little help from endorsements by Diplo and the track track the two eventually collaborated on, “Que Que.” Known for being one of the pioneers of the sub-genre moombahton, in 2012 Francis became the first moombahton artist to achieve the number-one spot on Beatport’s Top 5 Releases Chart with the release of his Something, Something, Awesome EP. While Dillon has made a few viral videos in recent months, it is his blend of moombahcore, moombahton, electro house, trap, and dubstep that keeps fans coming back for more. Get poppin’ and sweatin’ at Sunset Music Festival this May 25th, when Dillon Francis takes the stage at Set. Grab your tickets now!
Sunset Music Festival Artist Spotlight: Morgan Page
One of the things we love most about festivals is when you can hear the voices of thousands of people singing along to some of the most lyrically beautiful pieces of dance music. And if there is any Sunset Music Festival artist who would know a little something about beautiful lyrics, it would be Morgan Page.
Growing up in a log cabin home in Burlington, Vermont, Page’s style has always been unique. Pairing poignant lyrics over his progressive keys and steady house beats, there are a melting pot of people who identify with Page’s sound. Page first started producing electronic music at the tender age of 12 after gaining an early exposure to the genre by a local college radio station that he would actually come to DJ for later. After Morgan Page took an internship at record label Plastic City, he started a steady schedule of releases on labels like Bedrock, Nordic Trax, Fiji, and Saw from 2000 through 2006. He eventually landed on Nettwerk Records which is his current home and his 2008 release Elevate thrust him into the spotlight.
Now that he has three studio albums and two Grammy Award and five International Dance Music Award nominations to his credit, Morgan Page has definitely established himself as one of the top producers of our generation. Songs like “Longest Road” and “Fight For You” have become classic anthems making it absolutely necessary to sing the lyrics at the top of your lungs if you ever hear them played out live. We can’t wait to sing with you at the Ra stage for Sunset Music Festival next week Saturday, May 25th. Buy your tickets today!
Presenting the Sunset Music Festival Main Stage Artist Schedule!
We have been steadily releasing the set times to our bass and trance stages at Sunset Music Festival throughout the week. To finish off our string of announcements, we are excited to present the last installment of set times for our main stage, Ra.
For the Egyptians, the sun represented light, warmth, and growth. So it is no wonder the sun god Ra was very important to the people, as the eye of Ra was seen as the ruler of all that was created. As Ra was one of the main deities of ancient Egypt, Ra will represent the main stage at Sunset and will feature David Guetta, Steve Aoki, Knife Party, Danny Avila, Krewella, and Morgan Page.
Come and dance with us at Sunset Music Festival stages Ra, Set and Isis in just nine days. Buy your tickets today!
