We can’t wait for our mini-vacation on Monday, December 30th as Hidalgo’s third annual Winter Fantasy featuring deadmau5 (unhooked) takes over the State Farm Arena (outdoors).

Even though we won’t be walking in a winter wonderland for another few weeks, that doesn’t mean our weekends won’t keep pounding. We’ll be bringing you three mixes every week from an artist on our roster to help get you pumped for the upcoming event.

This week’s weekend warrior(s) is Québecois duo Adventure Club. Finishing up their massive nationwide tour, the two are still celebrating the release of their Calling All Heroes EP. Here are three sets that are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what you might expect to hear from the boys at Winter Fantasy.

Tickets are still available online so grab yours before it’s too late.

Superheroes Anonymous Mix Volume 1

The boys originally debuted this mix on This Song Slaps earlier this year. To call this mix eclectic would be an understatement. Featuring some classic tunes revamped, we’re digging the “Sun and Moon” remix and the cameo from Gesaffelstein’s “Control Movement.”

Superheroes Anonymous Mix Volume 2

This Superheroes Anonymous volume also premiered on This Song Slaps. For this particular mix, the boys do an amazing job of creating a jam-packed mix full of various genres from beginning to end. With a tracklist that features some familiar friends like Winter Fantasy artists GTA and of course a long list of tracks from the boys themselves, this mix will get you in the mood for the upcoming holiday event.

Superheroes Anonymous Mix Volume 3

Armed with red capes and spandex, this mix is a snapshot of the tracks that the boys were playing out over the summer. Always testing varied BPMs, this mix ventures into big room house, trap, all while staying true to their dubstep roots. This mix also features their recent smash single “Gold.”

It’s December, which means the third annual Winter Fantasy is right around the corner. Poised to bring in world renowned talent to the State Farm Arena in Hidalgo, TX on Monday, December 30th, with several weeks remaining until the gates open for the anticipated event, we have plenty of time to stay up-to-date with our talented lineup.

For today’s Winter Fantasy Drop, we’ve got Adventure Club raising money for cancer awareness and the brothers Showtek taking over South Africa’s charts.

Adventure Club donates $7,000 to F*ck Cancer

Back in August, Québecois superheroes Adventure Club teamed up with dance music clothing retailer Electric Family to release a custom series of Adventure Club wristbands. These aren’t ordinary fan wristbands though. The red and blue threaded bracelet is giving fans the opportunity to be real life superheroes. Each product sold directly benefits F*ck Cancer, a Canadian-based charity whose purpose, though could inferred to by the title, is to educate youth and adults about cancer.

To date, with the aid of their fans, Adventure Club has been able to donate over $7,000 from bracelet sales to the organization. Due to popular demand, the bands were temporarily sold out, but not anymore. Head over to Electric Family and grab your Adventure Club wristband today. Be sure to wear yours at Winter Fantasy!

Showtek’s ‘Booyah’ reaches #1 in South Africa

The brothers Showtek are on roll. Back in November, we reported the duo’s rise to the top of the UK’s Top 40 with their massive release “Booyah” featuring We Are Load! and Sonny Wilson. Now, the Dutch powerhouse outfit has taken the #1 spot on South Africa’s most popular radio station 5FM. With 5FM being the most popular contemporary music and entertainment platform in the country, it’s safe to say that the brothers are on their way to total world domination.

Venturing outside of their original hardstyle roots, “Booyah” starts differently than the standard four-to-the-floor beat. As you’re grooving to the a half-time beat intro, some massive stab synths greet you that are later joined by the vocals of We Are Loud! and Sonny Wilson. We’re loving this, this reggae-infused big room track – it is definitely festival ready. We’re sure you’ll here it at Winter Fantasy later this month.
