Lightning in a Bottle announces 2013 lineup

Southern California's "other" music festival Lightning In A Bottle announced its official 2013 lineup yesterday, with the electronica-focused festival booking Nicolas Jaar, Rusko, and Tycho on the top billing.

Also featured in the lineup, which takes place between July 11-15, are B&B favorites Lusine, Goldroom, Giraffage, ODESZA, and many more. Passes for the festival are available now via the official site, starting at $240 for pre-sale passes, with two and one-day passes also readily available.

It's the festival's second year since moving to its new location in Temecula, California in Lake Skinner County Park. One of the features that makes Lightning in a Bottle standout is festival organizer The Do LaB's willingness to make interactivity a pivotal point of the festival experience. The event is full of art installations and features other festivals do not offer, including the much talked about Lucent Temple of Consciousness.

The temple offers 300 different events, from yoga workshops to world music, and is made entirely of recycled products.

Lusine mix for MTV Hive

Stopping over at MTV Hive with a healthy new mix was Seattle producer Lusine (Jeff McIlwain), still coming off his otherwise underrated release The Waiting Room earlier this year off Ghostly International.

The one hour 12 minute mix starts off with Emeralds, who McIlwain claims was a "a big inspiration for me on my album." Also featured in the mix (check the full-track list here) are remixes from DJ Koze, Four Tet, and plenty of his own to top it off.

Check the mix out below and grab Lusine's latest LP The Waiting Room today.
