Around Coachella time, we find ourselves searching for the most bangin’ parties. In the previous years, FILTER Magazine, Anthem Magazine, MLF, Vice, Ace Hotel, and many others hosted some of the wildest parties.

It’s a special year for FILTER Magazine as they celebrate the publication’s 10 years of operation. FILTER is hosting their 10th Annual Coachella Kick Off Party, held at the Corona Yacht Club in Coachella. The line up that is currently announced features DJs like Dam-Funk, Theophilus London, Active Child, and Fat Lip. Fliers and more info coming soon.

Stay tuned for more info!

Even though Coachella sold out early this year, there’s still a reason to head out to the desert this weekend. The parties, once a supplement to the Coachella experience, have now become a comparable (if not better) alternative to the festival. This year over a dozen parties have been announced in the desert, many of which are free and have special performances from artists with time slots at the festival. As we did last year, here’s a list we’ve compiled of Coachella 2011 parties. Here we go:

I’m sure there’s a few I’m forgetting. There’s also the Oasis Beach Club at The Merv Griffin’s Estate, Jeremy Scott‘s Elvis/Americana themed soiree, Onepiece/Flaunt Magazine Party at the Trousdale Estate, as well as other soirees hosted by Mullberry, Paul and Andre, Blackberry, Diesel, and Rolling Stone Magazine. This surely isn’t the last of the parties. We’ll update this page with whatever else comes up. #HappyCoachella !

The beloved Institubes Records (2003-2011) has officially decided pulled the plug. It was a solid 8 years of bangers from artists like Jean Nippon, Para One, Surkin, Bobmo, Tacteel, and Midnight Juggernauts. What’s next? Well, Para One, Bobmo and Surkin have begun their plan starting a new empire to the electronic-house music scene, called Marble Music. No releases have been announced, but we expect a bunch of new stuff this year!

So musically this Marble shit isn’t just about a new specific subgenre or whatever, it’s more about meeting people and ideas, trying new stuff, maybe choosing more risky, extreme paths than before. This is about creating fresh ways to talk to bodies and emotions. Blending the rough and the tender, the repetitive and the crashing. – Marble Music

Check out Marble’s teaser!

Big thanks to Ara for the coverage!
