Relentless Beats’ flagship music festival, Goldrush wrapped up another successful year and it was one of its best events to date! The western-themed festival concept introduced the 2024 edition, Goldrush: Wild Card at the Phoenix Raceway for two nights showcasing the biggest names in Electronic Dance Music.
Goldrush: Wild Card saddled up and hit the jackpot with its stacked deck of talent, high-quality production, and infectious energy! It was a weekend packed with unforgettable performances across three main stages, Paradise Prairie, Moonrise Mountain, and Coyote Cove. The two-night rodeo hosted massive headlining and supporting acts including Alesso, Black Tiger Sex Machine, The Chainsmokers, Ganja White Night, Mall Grab, OMNOM, San Holo, Slander, Sullivan King, Timmy Trumpet, Walker & Royce, and many more.
Day one served a four-of-a-kind hand at the main stage, Paradise Prairie, with powerful back to back sets. We started the night with Jersey Shore’s famed DJ, Pauly D as he hyped up the crowd with his edits of popular dance tracks. Timmy Trumpet followed and kept the energy alive with his mix of sub-genres ranging from electro, big room, and hardstyle, while breaking into live trumpet solos. Alesso wrangled up a setlist of old classics and new singles from his music catalog, making for an overall great performance. The Chainsmokers closed the stage with a nostalgic set, playing their hits, “Roses,” “Don’t Let Me Down,” and “#SELFIE.” The whole night of music at Paradise Prairie felt like a blast from the past!
The Moonrise Mountain stage was dealing out monumental bass with a charged lineup featuring Alix Perez, Halogenix, Ray Volpe, Soundrush, and Sullivan King. Alix Perez showed the Wild West what Drum and Bass was all about and he was one of our standouts from the weekend.
Day two raised the stakes at the Coyote Cove stage with an all aces roster of house music producers. The warehouse was our little sanctuary away from the rest of the festival where we could just groove to our favorite genre of music. Coyote Cove’s schedule was equivalent to a royal flush with incredible sets from Matt Sassari, OMNOM, Mall Grab, and closers, Acraze b2b Noizu.
There were two smaller stages on the event grounds, Sound Cabin and Cowboy Corral. The Sound Cabin was set on an Art Car presented by Baked Bros. Here you could find Phoenix-based dispensaries giving out free promotional items and the local DJs firing up the stage with their explosive beats. Cowboy Corral also roundup aspiring artists for the two-channel silent disco. We caught a set from house and techno duo, Not Yurs and it was a 10/10 experience. We look forward to seeing them on future festival bills.
Paradise Prairie and Moonrise Mountain served up
The festival was set up right outside of the racetrack with the stages spread out just enough to reduce sound bleed, but close enough that it didn’t feel like a trek to split sets. Relentless Beats did a great job utilizing the space of the event grounds. It never felt too crowded and due to the large amount of food and drink vendors, the wait times were almost non-existent.
high risk high reward,
grand festival experience, stages were spread out just enough to reduce sound blood and each catered to a different sound. It was spacious, never felt too crowded, and Arizona just brings the vibes.
