Coachella Spotlight #14: GTA

The EDM line-up this year is pretty on point. Goldenvoice has covered all their bases, as they included every genre from the rage-tastic Skrillex or Calvin Harris to the more mellow Nicole Moudaber or Bonobo. No matter what your fancy, you will find it somewhere at Coachella. That said, I think one of the DJs I am most excited to check out for the first time at Coachella has to be GTA.


GTA is a Miami-based collaboration between the DJs JWLS and Van Toth. These two have managed to craft a unique sound that is comprised of mostly dirty, jungle rave beats that make you dance like Tarzan would after smoking crack. They like to blur the line between trap and electro house as well which always makes for more interesting live sets. If you are trying to get buck wild for an hour in the Sahara Tent, GTA would be a good choice to do that with.

My favorite track of theirs is The Crowd. This song is going to be BONKERS in the Sahara Tent. The blaring synths, the vocal samples and the rapid fire drums make this a jungle rave banger! It also throws some half time drops in there as well to add that grime that only GTA can infuse into a track. Check it out below and put your party pants on!



GTA has also worked along side some well known names like Diplo, A-Trak and Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike and have remixed the likes of Kaskade, Deadmau5 and Laidback Luke to name a few. His current song with Diplo has gone completely viral over the past few months and is easily the duo's biggest release to date. However, I won't post that because if you haven't heard it before you are living under a rock. I really like their remix of Michael Woods' track Last Day On Earth, which is a highly underrated song, in my opinion. They flip the track and give it that jungle rave sound that only they could do. I hope they play this in their set!


Come get crazy with me as I go hard in the paint during their set! See you there!

Happy Coachella! <3
