Flux Pavilion and Dr. P are on their first U.S. tour of all time this summer, and let me tell you, the fans in Chicago were ready. We have never seen the Congress theater so crazy, and for good reason. Everyone wanted to see these top Dubstep/Drum and Bass Dj's throw it down hard, and that they did just that! These guys were blasting the bass so loud you could feel the floor and walls vibrating, while drinks on tables were falling over.

Watch this Short clip of Dr. P throwing it down! P.S. check out that crowd, crazinesss!!!

It was awesome to see so many people all get together like that, and great see that everyone there was digging the vibe. The place was packed to capacity and every single person in the place was getting down serious style to some massive tunes from Flux Pavilion and Dr. P. The show was so epic this was Flux Pavilion's facebook post later that night:

Thanks Flux, you made ours!! Come back anytime! Good vibes all around.

So it's summer and festival season. Everyone's rolling out to the fields, barns, and massive tents to hear the good stuff. The past 5 years the festival scene has really exploded. Before it used to be large groups of band wanderers - you'd follow the Grateful Dead or Widespread Panic for the summer and that was how it went down. Now massive festivals are in every city and comprise bands from every genre. Although it's hard to boil it down to just five - these are the dig the vibe all time top 5 how to pack for a festival tips.

1. Bring something fun and crazy to do when you aren't at the shows. Think campground fun - guitars, drums, frisbees, or digeridoos. The activities will also help you make festival friends with those around you and keep you feeling it.

2. Pack clothes that look clean even when they are super dirty. Showers are often a luxury at these gatherings, so make sure you can wear and re-wear some of your duds. Reverse it, water bottle wash it, and hang out it to dry.

3. Bring a grocery bag of your favorite snacks from home or wherever. But only bring one bag - don't go crazy with the food. Biting into your favorite snack bar or treat will go a long way when you are tired, been dancing all day, and just can't move from your tent.

4. Bring along a camel-bak or multiple ways to hydrate. People can go a week without food, but die quickly without water. Hydration is key. Even if you aren't thirsty keep drinking. Pack powdered Gatorade or whatever you need to stay hydrated. It will keep you going and digging the vibe all weekend long.

5. Last but certainly not least - pack efficiently. Don't bring too much stuff. Or to little.  Be strategic and understand that everything you pack needs to have a purpose. Also don't forget the essentials - water, clothes, and fun stuff. Toiletries optional (j/k bring a way to clean off with a water bottle and t-shirt).

Have fun and stay safe out there kids. Put on them dancing feet.

Because this is what the kids are into. Skrillex's hotter than a tv dinner. Anything bumping. Give it the beat. Boom. Happy Monday night from all of us here @digthevibe

Since we are getting closer to release over here at dig the vibe, we decided to put up a new website at http://digthevibe.com, with a way to sign up to be a part of the beta testing and a countdown. Check it out...

A little bit different than over here at dig the vibe, but this captures the spirit well. There is a lot out there right there - the key is being clear, transparent, and having a unique value proposition. What really differentiates you? Alright.... just watch. #DTV

About a week ago, I went to the Congress Theater in Chicago, IL with a group of friends to see the Shpongletron experience - and what an experience it was! Shpongle usually tours with a live band, which is always an awesome time - but this year he is taking it to the next level with his massive Shpongletron set.

With a monstorous lightshow boasting glowing hula hoop girls, led wings, the shpongle morfing 3 eyed face, and a giant eye shooting laser beams - it's almost a given that when melded with the various #chill #melodic #bumping #tribal melodies that Shpongle brings you, you're going to have a great time.

Not only was the show amazing, but there was a great crowd at Congress that night - everyone was friendly with a smile on their face, the whole crowd was feelin it. On top of that the venue wasn't over crowded, so there was plenty of room to get your groove on. I was definitely digging the vibe, and can offically say "I got Shpongled" at Congress last week.

Check out the video below from my beautiful friend Michelle for a little taste of the Shpongletron Experience.
