DANI TORO will spin Saturdays Ascension Beach Party main event.

How would you describe your style and sound? Dani Toro: My style depends on the crowd. I never get to the DJ booth with a play list of tracks as I dont know what the mood of the crowd is going to be. I start with a couple of tracks and I wait for the reaction and that decides my DJ set. Sometimes crowds want more vocals, sometimes more circuit.

What are examples of beats you will likely be throwing down at Ascension? Dani Toro: Right now, my favorite producers are Tony Moran, Paulo, Joe Gauthreaux, Tommy Love, Mauro Mozart, Tom Stephan, Thomas Solvert and, of course, myself. I'm getting amazing feedback with the remixes of my track Lick Me Up" and also Katy Perry's "Chained To The Rhythm. But well have to see in August which songs will be favorable amongst the crowd.

You got the best of the USA DJ's and some International DJ's like me who are gonna make a perfect match for the entire weekend.

EDDIE MARTINEZ will spin Friday nights Underwear Party.

How would you describe your style and sound? Eddie Martinez: My style is sexy and fun with lots of energy. My sets always include my original work, private mixes and edits, along with my own personal flare.

What are examples of beats you will likely be throwing down at Ascension? Eddie Martinez: I like to mix current popular tracks and give them my own stamp, such as my remixes of Britney Spears's "Just Luv Me" or Rihanna's "Sex With Me".

What are examples of beats you will likely be throwing down at Ascension? Joe Gauthreaux: The most important thing for me is to connect with the crowd. A lot of times that means playing something that I know everyone will love, like "Shape of You" by Ed Sheeran. Or maybe it's one of my own tracks, like "Show Me (What You Got)" that I did with DJ Grind. Its special because the crowd knows its my track, so they know they're not listening to some jukebox, but someone who is playing music that came from them.

Finish this sentence: At Ascension 2017, be prepared to Joe Gauthreaux: Let go because its going to be a ride like no other.

DJ HANSEL will spin Saturdays Ascension Beach Party main event.

How would you describe your style and sound? DJ Hansel: My sets have a very distinct sound, ranging from tech-house to tribal to my signature circuit. Im Latin and I like to see my crowd shake and move hard so Ill often add a bit of beats (drums) that remind me of my Latin roots.

What are examples of beats you will likely be throwing down at Ascension? DJ Hansel: There will be underground and tribal house beats, and maybe a dose of Britney mixed in.

Ascension DJ's Rise At this Summer's Wildest Weekend Festival - Huffington post (press release) (blog)

On paper, the Ascension Catholic girls didnt appear to have enough points to pull off a Class 1A team championship Friday night at the LHSAA/Allstate Sugar Bowl track meet.

Heat sheets are not always accurate predictors of who wins a meet, and the Bulldogs scored 22 points in the final two events to nip Haynesville at Bernie Moore track stadium.

Were so happy to win this, ACHS coach Janet Daigle said. We thought we were at about a 10-point deficit coming in. The girls were so great. They worked so hard.

The final tally had Ascension Catholic winning with 63 points followed by Haynesville (62) and Lafayette Christian (53).

In the boys competition, Haynesville had a cushion as it won with 96 points. Cedar Creek (77), Southern Lab (52) and St. Frederick (50) were the closest challengers.

Heading into the 3,200-meter run, Ascension Catholic trailed Haynesville 52-41. The Bulldogs finished 1-2 in the 3,200 with Sophie Daigle winning (12 minutes, 2.90 seconds) and Breanna Bernard placing second.

Haynesville won the final event, the 4x400 relay, with a time of 4:14.11.

That meant ACHS had to place no worse than fourth to win the meet, a feat it accomplished.

We had the sixth best (qualifying) time, but we finished fourth. I told the girls they couldnt finish worse than fourth, Janet Daigle said.

Sophie Daigle ran the final leg of the 4x400, and had wins in the 1,600 (5:33.17) and 800 (2:25.03) to go with her first in the 3,200. She was named the meets outstanding girls performer.

A pair of athletes completed their high school careers by winning an event for the fourth consecutive year; White Castles Ariel Bell and Southern Labs Xavier Bell.

Ariel Bell won the girls 100 with a time of 11.94. She was so dominant that she crossed the finish line nearly a full second faster than second-place finisher Tamia Washington of Delhi, who was 10 meters behind.

Afterward, she admitted to being mildly disappointed she didnt break the Class 1A record of 11.91, a time she tied last year.

I didnt run my best race, said Ariel Bell, who also won the 200 with a time of 25.13. I was trying to break the record.

Xavier Bell, who played wide receiver for the Southern Lab football team, won the 400 at 48.44. He pulled off the win win just minutes after running a leg on the Kittens winning 4x100 relay (42.41).

I was happy with the race. I was trying for 47, but it was alright, Xavier Bell said. It was pretty tough (running back to back), but my coach (Henry Combs) worked me really hard and prepared me.

The 4x100 was part of a relay sweep for Southern Lab. The Kittens won the 4x200 (1:28.21) and the 4x400 (3:30.02), where Xavier Bell overtook three runners on the final leg.

State track meet: Ascension Catholic girls win Class 1A with flurry in final two events - The Advocate

Three years after Goatwhore's fantasticConstricting Rage of the Merciless comes Vengeful Ascension, due out June 23. Vengeful Ascension seems like it's going to be a slower and darker effort from the New Orleans-based quartet, and you can get a taste of that churning blackened madness courtesy of thetitle track to the album below.

Vengeful Ascension was recorded reel-to-reel at Earth Analog in Tolono, Illinois withJarrett Pritchard (1349, Gruesome), wasmixed by Chris Common (Tribulation, Pelican), and was mastered by Maor Applebaum (Faith No More, Halford, Today Is The Day).

This is the first time in four album that Goatwhore has not recorded with Erik Rutan, and the band just wanted to change it up, says vocalist Ben Falgoust.

"Working with Rutan was awesome. We did some great records with him. But you come to a point where youre like, 'All right. Lets try something new.' It was part of trying to remove ourselves from a comfort zone and a risk thing we needed to take. Plus, we really wanted to hit the essence of where we are live and what better way to harness that than by having our live sound guy involved. Jarrett is knowledgeable with the studio stuff. He also knows how we sound coming out of a PA and we really wanted to get closer to that."
