Who wants to play in front of thousands of people at The Gorge Ampitheatre in Washington state? Turns out…lots of people do. Out of nearly 1,000 people who submitted to the ID Festival Opportunity, seven Finalists were selected by celebrity artist judges like Steve Aoki and Kaskade.
Of those seven, one incredibly talented winner was offered the chance to perform at this epic festival event.
Drivepilot was selected by Datsik as one of the seven Finalists and was later named the Grand Prize Winner by all judges. The show will take place on September 10, 2011 in George, Washington at the legendary venue The Gorge.
He will perform alongside all the judges including Kaskade, Steve Aoki, The Crystal Method, The Disco Biscuits, Le Castle Vania, Datsik and Avicii.
“Entering the ID Fest Contest was a great opportunity for us to have our music heard by established DJs in the EDM community. Hopefully it will help us continue to build our career as a group.” – Love Automatic, Honorable Mention
“I really enjoyed being able to meet all the different producers in the contest. The best way to keep pushing music forward is by interacting with other musicians and, despite the incentive to get a prize, Indaba really facilitated quality interactions between the artists in the contest.” – Chobot, Honorable Mention
“The song I entered into the contest is my first attempt at something that your average listener will relate to and also be fun for avid EDM listeners. Kaskade has also been a huge influence on me over the years and seeing him as a judge really made me want to enter. This contest was a great experience and pushed me to start expanding my musical palette and skill set.” John P., Honorable Mention
