Calvin Harris

Born Adam Richard Wiles in Scotland, Calvin Harris sings, writes, produces, and DJs some of the most popular songs of our time. His first album, I Created Disco, debuted in 2007 and ended up a gold-seller. He since hasn't shown any signs of stopping and has proven to take the EDM world be storm. His electropop, electro house, nudisco, and synthpop songs are party favorites and really get the dance floor packed. His voice is pure and his songs are incredibly fun. Many of them could be considered EDM-style anthems such as "Bounce," "You Used To Hold Me," and "We Found Love." And if you've ever heard one of his mixes on BBC, you know that we are to expect a high-energy and amazing show from him at Coachella. Harris will be gracing us with his skills on Sunday, April 15th and 22nd. Along with creating success of his own, he has also helped Kylie Minogue, Rhianna ("We Found Love"), and Dizzee Rascal.

M83

Thank goodness for France! Man, what would our lives have been had Antibes, France not given us M83!? Since 2001 this indietronica, ambient, and electropop band has been blessing us with their inspirational and amazing sounds. The name M83 comes from the spiral galaxy, Messier 83, and was started by Anthony Gonzalez and former member Nicolas Fromageau. Gonzalez now records most of the music on his own, but will enlist help from his brother Yann, vocalist/keyboardist Morgan Kibby, and drummer Loic Maurin on many occasions. M83's music makes you feel empowered and that, while we may be young, we can take control and have an influence on the world around us. Nothing feels better than throwing on some M83 and letting they're sexual and uplifting music take you to a plane of higher thinking and feeling. M83 will be rocking our worlds and elevating our mentals at Coachella 2012 on Friday, April 13th and 20th!

La Roux

While La Roux may appear to be a solo act, it is actually a brilliant duo reigning from the land of English breakfast, double-deckers, and Green Street Hooligans-- England, of course! Elly Jackson (singer, keyboarder, co-writer, and co-producer) and Ben Langmaid (co-writer and co-producer) joined their magical music forces in 2006, and have been pumping out electropop and synthpop jams ever since! They are supported by Mikey Norris on the keyboard, Mickey O'Brien on keyboards and backing vocals, and William Bowerman on the drums. The name "La Roux" came from combining the French terms "le roux" (meaning masculine) and "la rousse" (meaning feminine), and represents Jackson's red hair and tomboy appearance. She considers herself to be androgynous, and proudly takes on and rocks the role of the "red-haired one." La Roux recently (as of February 2011) won a Grammy Award for the Best Electronic/Dance Album, and has been nothing short of amazing with each song that is released. Jackson's voice is so pure, and her look so fresh, making La Roux a must-see for this festival weekend! La Roux will be performing at Coachella on Sunday, April 15th and 22nd.

Madeon

So you're 17-years old growing up in a world flourishing with new music, new technology, and new production opportunities. What are you supposed to do? Well, jump in head first, balls out, wearing your creativity on your sleeve, and don't look back, obviously! And that is exactly what Hugo Leclercq, better known as Madeon, did at the young and ripe age of 11 when he started composing music. This French, electropop producer picked up a nu-disco sound very early on and since has gone on to combine electro, dance and house into his feel-good beats. Madeon's music has a way about it that just makes you feel alive on the inside and fun on the outside. You can't help but shimmy, shake, foot tap, head bob, and air-keyboard it up when one of his upbeat jams comes on. He has done some killer remixes of Pendulum, Deadmau5, Wolfgang Gartner, and Yelle, and has gained major recognition for his use of the Novation Launchpad. His most-known song "Pop Culture" (video above) takes 39 pop songs, and combines them into one. If you just took another listen after learning that, I can't help but know your appreciation for the song just grew exponentially (as did mine). Madeon will be playing at Coachella on Friday, April 13th and 20th, so be sure to check out this under-age megastar!
